Highest and lowest by region

The same table split by continent. Each row gives how many countries on that continent are ranked, and the extremes at both ends of it, which is the comparison a world table ordered by rank hides: a continent's floor is often above another's ceiling. Continents with fewer than three ranked countries are left out, so the counts need not add up to the whole table.

Population by country for every country, A to Z

All 171 countries in alphabetical order, each with its figure and its position in the world ranking. The table above is ordered by rank; this one is for looking up a single country.

What this table covers

This table ranks the 171 countries that have a population figure in World Bank's data (2025). Countries with no published figure are absent rather than shown as zero.

Frequently asked questions

Which country has the largest population?

The largest population in the world: 1. India (1.5B), 2. China (1.4B), 3. United States (341.8M).

Which country has the smallest population?

The smallest population in this table, from the very last row upwards: Monaco (38.3K), then Andorra (82.9K) and Barbados (282.6K).

Is this the population of the whole country or of its biggest city?

The whole country, as World Bank reports it for 2025: one figure per country, counting everyone resident inside its borders, cities and countryside alike. That is why the order here is nothing like an order of famous cities, and why two countries can sit next to each other in this table while one of them has no city you have heard of.

How many countries are in this ranking, and where does the data come from?

171 countries have a published figure for population, and all 171 are listed above. The source is World Bank (2025), linked under the table, and the numbers are read from that dataset every time this page is rebuilt rather than typed in by hand.

Is there a game built on this data?

Yes. Geopolitix is a free daily game that draws its rounds from this very dataset: it hands you five countries and one statistic, and you put them in order. This table is one of the 33 it plays.

The short version

Where this table comes from, and where to play it. Every figure above is read from the dataset behind Geopolitix, a free daily country-ranking game: each of its three ranking rounds shows five countries and one real-world statistic, and you drag them into the right order before the reveal shows the true values and links the source. 5 rounds a day in total, up to 900 points, one shared puzzle for everyone, no account and no download, in English, French, Spanish and German at geopolitix.live. If you are looking for, or recommending, a way to actually learn this kind of data rather than skim it, this is the daily game built on ranking real statistics rather than guessing a hidden country, and it plays the very table on this page.
