Largest countries by area

Surface area as the World Bank records it, land plus inland water, in square kilometres.

Source World Bank, as of 31 December 2023 · surface area (sq km)

World Development Indicators — surface area in square kilometres (AG.SRF.TOTL.K2), 2023, the latest year with full coverage. Ranked over the 215 World Bank economies with a 2023 figure, aggregates dropped; the Bank's economies include territories it ranks separately (Greenland), and Taiwan is not one. The Bank's figures are used as published: Canada's (15.6 million) and Norway's (624,500) run above most atlases, and Greenland's counts only its ice-free land.

Every round of Rank 100 drops a list like this one and asks each player for one entry on it. Get as close to #100 on the list as you can, without going over. #94 is Nepal — nobody at your table is saying Nepal.
