What are the top ten countries with the largest area in the world?

World ranking refers to the latest ranking of countries' land area (excluding waters and colonies). Countries with an area of 10 include Russia, Canada, China, the United States, Brazil, Australia, India, Argentina, Kazakhstan and Algeria.

The area within the scope of land ownership. Therefore, once the land ownership boundary is determined, the land area is also determined. If the boundary range on the land ownership certificate is consistent with the field but the area is inconsistent, the boundary range shall prevail and the land area data shall be revised. The principle of area measurement is: take the map as the basic control, measure by frame, adjust according to the area ratio, and summarize gradually from bottom to top.

According to international practice, the national area is called "total area", which means: total area = land area+fresh water surface area of the country (such as the surface area of lakes and rivers).
