Welcome to our website. It is generaly simplier version of wikipedia. You will find there selected articles. Enjoy!

This is a list of the sovereign states and dependent territories of the world, sorted by land area only, including all entities on the ISO standard ISO 3166-1.

For statistical purposes, dependent territories are listed separately from their sovereign states and are set off in italics. The figures exclude inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers) and marine internal waters (coastal waters). Territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zones are not included.

Also not included in the list are uninhabited dependent territories – including various countries' claims to parts of the continent of Antarctica – and entities such as the European Union that have some degree of sovereignty but do not consider themselves to be sovereign countries or dependent territories. The total land area of the world is 148,940,000 km² (57,510,000 sq mi) (about 29.1% of the Earth's surface area).
