Our planet is rich in a variety of ethnic groups, languages, cultures, countries in the world are much smaller, but their number is quite large. This article will contain a list of countries in the number of residents and territorial areas. There is no need to list all countries of the world, so there will be only 10 first states on these indicators.

In the number of residents

In the first ten countries in the number of people living in them, such as:

• China (PRC). For 2017, about 1 billion 385 million inhabitants live in this country. For a long time, this country occupies an upper position in the population.
• India. Countries have already reached 1 billion 345 million inhabitants, which is only a little less than in China. Given that the population growth in India is much higher than in the PRC, in a few years, India will enter the world's leading place.
• USA. Today, about 326 million people live in this country. It is much higher than in Europe, but not so high as in the third world countries. The increase is due not only to high fertility, but also a great influx of immigrants.
• Indonesia (264 million people). This Asian country today takes 4 position on the population. In addition, the increase in the number of inhabitants is quite high, as in all Southeast Asia.

• Pakistan, where about 208 million people live, is a very poor state, but at the same time the population growth is very high here due to a large fertility.
• Brazil with a population of 207 million residents even recently occupied 5 line, but not so long ago Pakistan overtook her. Moreover, in Brazil itself, the growth rate of the population is also quite high.
• Nigeria (192 million inhabitants). Another country where an incredibly high population growth rate is therefore in the next few years, it is likely that this country will also piss Brazil on this list.
• Bangladesh (160 million) is the poorest state in the list of countries of the world, but this does not prevent the country's population to grow simply unprecedented pace.
• Russia today has about 146 million inhabitants. For a long time, a negative population increase was observed in the Russian Federation, but not so long ago, this indicator began to grow a little.
• Meskika (130 million people). This country has only recently entered the list of countries of the world with the greatest population, overtaking Japan. This is due to the high increase in the population in Mexico and low in Japan.

List of countries in the area

Unlike the above-handed list, this change does not take place for a long time.

No need to draw up a list of countries in the Alphabet and bring it in this article, so the 10 first countries will be presented here on the territory:

1. Russia (17.1 million square meters. Km). Since the very moment of its education, since the very moment of its formation began to take the first place in the world in the area.
2. Canada (9.98 million square meters. Km). Although the area of \u200b\u200bthis state is the second in the list of countries of the world, but in comparison with Russia, it is almost half smaller.

9. Kazakhstan (2.72) has the longest land border with Russia.
10. Algeria (2.4) is the largest state in the African continent.

Many are interested in how many countries in the world. The list of all sovereign states for 2017 is about 230 states. In addition to them, there are self-proclaimed, half-operated countries, etc.

The list of countries in the world alphabetically is not particularly interested, because it does not bear any specific information about the country itself. If you compare the countries above the world in the lists (photo below), you can understand a lot about them. For example, their denominations, territorial wealth and natural potential.

Conclusion

A variety of countries, peoples, natural conditions, languages \u200b\u200band cultures make our planet very interesting.

It is thanks to this manifold, people are interested in traveling and knowing new.

Therefore, despite repeated attempts to create a single language for all, it is still unable to implement it.

What is the city?

Encyclopedic dictionary gives such a pen: « City - The settlement, whose residents are occupied, as a rule, outside agriculture. The attitude of the settlement to the category "City" is issued in the legislative procedure; At the same time, the criterion of the population of the city varies - from 200 people In Iceland, before 30 thousand people In Japan ...... in Russia the city should have no less 12 thousand inhabitants and at least 85% of the population employed outside agriculture ".

In this case, from the general rules always exist. exceptions, in particular, in Russia still the most minor population and wherein with city status is a new city Innopolis, with the population at the time of receipt of the status of the city in 2012 in total 10 people, and on January 1, 2016 with the population in 96 people.

What territory is included in the concept of "the largest city"?

The main sources of data on the size of the city's territory are statistical organsAnd for statistics, each city is primarily an administrative unit (municipality).

In other words - the territory manager is controlled by the city administration And called the city or urban district.

From here and there are situations when on 1 place among the largest cities in the world in the territory It is a Chinese city Chongqing, in which most of the territory is the land of agricultural purposes, around the former urban border. In this case, the expansion of the administrative borders of the city is associated with the desire of the administration to urbanize rural areas, increasing the population density.

schuncin (China). The largest city in the world in the territory

Therefore, in the list of the largest cities in the area of \u200b\u200bthe occupied territory, we can meet very small towns in terms of population of 20,000 - 30,000 people, and at the same time the territory occupied by them is comparable to multimillion cities - Differences only in the fact that in multimillion cities high population density on all or most of the territory of the city, and in small towns in the population, it is usually the territory around the main building with low population density.

What is included in the city's territory. Examples.

The biggest cities in the world in square kilometers can include in their administrative borders, in addition to land territory, also water territory. It is most characteristic of the cities on the water, in particular in American New Yorkwhere the water area is more than 35% of the total area of \u200b\u200bthe city.

g.NYU-YORK (USA). More than 35% of the city's territory - water

Also a frequent option of large in the territory of cities, but with a small population - cities with one main source of income (coal mining, ore and other minerals), when a relatively large area of \u200b\u200bmineral mining, where few people live in administrative borders of the city.

Similar example are mountain ranges, territories of nature reserves, natural parks adjacent to the city, as well as cities in which residents live, mainly in private houses and, accordingly, a small population density, characteristic of cities Australia.

how many people live in one square kilometer of China? India? And got the best answer

Answer from Kisa [Guru]
China has the largest population in China. As of the end of 2005, 1 billion 307 million 560 thousand people live in China (without taking into account the population of Oar Shangan, Oar Aomen and Taiwan Islands). The population in China is one fifth of the population of the whole world. China is also a country with the highest population density (the average population density of 134 people per square meter. Km.) In China, there is a very uneven distribution of the population. Most of the population live in the eastern part of the country. Seaside areas are especially tightly populated, about 400 people per square meter. km. In the central part of the country, the population density is 200 people per square meter. km. The Western alpine part is distinguished by a small density for every square. km. There are no more than 10 people.
The density of the population in India is 260 people per 1 km2.
India The most populated country in the world after China, now its population is about 850 million. The annual growth rates of India population compare 1.8%, which is significantly higher than the corresponding indicator in many regions of the developing world. Every year about 24 million children are born about 8.5 million people dying - as a result, the increase is 15.5 million, which is equal to the population of Australia. It is assumed that if the population of India will continue to grow with the same pace, then by the end of this century its number will turn a billiona mark. A large number of jobs were created in the country, but it was insufficient to cover the unemployed and those that replenished the ranks of the working-age population. According to various estimates, the total number of fully or partially unemployed, especially in rural areas, is tens of millions of people.
A demographic policy is held in the country aimed at reducing fertility. The average life expectancy currently reaches approximately 55 years. The vast majority of Indians are rural residents. Men in India is more than women. This is explained by increased mortality among women related to early marriages and numerous detings. The average age of marriage for men is about 22 years and for women 15-17 years.
The number of competent in India is insignificant, especially among women, somewhere about 38% of the population, among the competent people include people who understand the printed text and consciously can write several phrases. Almost one third of the population of India participate in economically productive activities, dealing with productive and urgency.

Answer from 2002220222 [guru]
There are some data, but they are clearly obsolete in India. Her population has already exceeded 1 billion people. Now there are 1100 million. Area 3288 thousand square meters. km. Density of 334.5 people per square meter. km.
China is 1300 million. Area 9597 thousand square meters. km. The density of 135 people per square kilometer.
If you look in density, then these are not the most densely populated countries. For example, Bangladesh density over 1,400 people per square kilometer.
