Table

The ranking here is determined by the given populations, which are the latest available national figures. This list also includes the partially recognized country, Kosovo. For some countries, these are estimates or somewhat out of date, so that the ranking of countries that are very close in population is approximate. The United Nations estimates are those published in the UN's World Population Prospects as of 2019,[2][3] which are based on censuses, population registers, surveys, and other statistics.[4] A * indicates a link to the article titled "Demographics of [country or territory]".
