List of countries and dependencies by population

A map of world population in 2014

This is a list of countries and dependent territories by population. It includes sovereign states, inhabited dependent territories, and, in some cases, constituent countries of sovereign states, with inclusion within the list being primarily based on the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. For instance, the United Kingdom is considered as a single entity while the constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are considered separately. In addition, this list includes certain states with limited recognition not found in ISO 3166-1.

The population figures do not reflect the practice of countries that report significantly different populations of citizens domestically and overall. Some countries, notably Thailand, do not report total population, exclusively counting citizens; for total populations an international agency must issue an estimate.

Also given in percent is each country's population compared to the population of the world, which the United Nations estimated at 7.4 billion in March 2016.^[1]

Method

Figures used in this chart are based on the most up to date estimate or projections^[2] by the national census authority where available, and are usually rounded off. Where updated national data are not available, figures are based on the projections for 2016 by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.^[3]

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 create misleading conclusions. Furthermore, the addition of figures from all countries may not equal the world total. A handful of nations have not conducted a census in over 3 decades, providing high error margin estimates only.

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 independent territories that do not have permanent populations, such as various countries' claims to Antarctica.

Countries and dependencies by population

Notes

↑ The European Union is a sui generis supranational union whose sovereign members delegate to it by treaty certain powers that are often exercised by sovereign states. Its combined population has been estimated at 508,911,116 on January 1, 2015, and it would be ranked 3rd if it were included in the list. It has 6.92% of the world's population — see "Eurostat-Tables,Graphs and Maps Interface（TGM）table". European Commission. Retrieved March 9, 2015.
↑ The census figure refers to mainland China (including Tibet), excluding its special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau, the former of which returned to Chinese sovereignty on 1 July 1997 and the latter on 20 December 1999.
↑ Population of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
↑ Including Crimea and Sevastopol.
↑ Including French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte and Réunion.
↑ Including Zanzibar.
↑ Not including Crimea and Sevastopol.
↑ Including Southern Poland (Śląskie and Małopolskie).
↑ It excludes the population of the disputed territory of the Western Sahara (the so-called Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic). If it was included, the Moroccan September 2014 census would result in 33,848,242 inhabitants.
↑ Taiwan (Republic of China) also includes the minor islands of Kinmen, Matsu, Pescadores, etc.
↑ Projection made before civil war. Casualties are estimated at well over 200,000 until the end of November 2014.

↑ Excludes (statistica.md.2010.pdf) Transnistria (505,153, census 2014).
↑ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has been recognised as an independent state by 108 out of 193 United Nations member states.
↑ Excludes Northern Cyprus (294,396, census 2011) ().
↑ Administration is split between Morocco and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, both of which claim the entire territory.
↑ De facto independent, de jure part of Moldova.
↑ De facto independent, de jure part of Cyprus.
↑ Abkhazia's status is disputed. It considers itself to be an independent state, but this is recognised by only a few other countries. The Georgian government and most of the world's other states consider Abkhazia de jure a part of Georgia's territory. In Georgia's official subdivision it is an autonomous republic, whose government sits in exile in Tbilisi.
↑ De facto independent, de jure part of Azerbaijan.
↑ South Ossetia's status is disputed. It considers itself to be an independent state, but this is recognised by only a few other countries. The Georgian government and most of the world's other states consider South Ossetia de jure a part of Georgia's territory.
