Countries by Population
This is a list of countries by population. The list includes independent countries and
inhabited dependent territories based on the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. Also given in percent is each
country's population compared to the population of the world, which according to theUnited States
Census Bureau population clock is estimated at 7.057 billion.[1]
According to a separate estimate by
the United Nations, it exceeded 7 billion in October 2011.[2][3][4]
Areas that form integral parts of sovereign
states, such as the countries of the United Kingdom, are counted as part of the sovereign states
concerned. Not included are other entities, such as the European Union,[note 1]
that are not sovereign
states, and dependent territories that do not have permanent populations, such as various countries'
claims toAntarctica.n1
Figures used in this chart are based on the most recent estimate or projections[5]
by the
national census authority where available and usually rounded off. Where there is not updated national
data available, figures are based on the 2012 estimates by the Population Division of the United Nations
Department of Economic and Social Affairs.[6]
Because the compiled figures are not collected at the same
time in every country, or at the same level of accuracy, the resulting numerical comparisons may bring
about misleading conclusions. Furthermore, the addition of figures from all countries may not equal the
world total.
For a graphical version of this list, see list of countries by population (graphical). See also List of
sovereign states and dependent territories by population density and the list of regional organizations by
population.
