Not usually, but it depends on what 'largest' means.
In most contexts, when one refers to the "largest country," they mean so in terms of this country's geographic size or area. However, the "largest country" can also occasionally refer to the country with the largest amount of people: the greatest population. In most instances, the first definition is implied.
Under the first definition, therefore, the largest country is the Russian Federation, with an approximate area of 17.1 million km2 (6.6 million sq miles). Russia also has a population of approximately 143.7 million people. While this is quite a large population, it is not the largest population; the People's Republic of China (mainland China) has a population almost 10 times as great as Russia's (approx. 1.35 billion). Thus, the largest country (by the above definition) does not have the largest population.
