Russia is the largest country in the world with an area of just over 17 million square kilometres. That's over 11% of the total surface of the earth.
Australia is smaller. It's the sixth largest country with an area of 7.7 million square kilometres. Australia is not however the largest island in the world since it is normally counted as a 'continent land mass' not an island. Hence, Greenland is the largest island at just over 2 million square kilometres.
