Largest country by area means TOTAL AREA: this includes LAND + WATER. Water comes in 3 flavors: INLAND WATER, COASTAL WATER, and TERRITORIAL WATER. Certain countries will differ in calculation. While every country naturally accounts for land, water space is where they significantly differ. For instance, when the CIA World FACTBOOK calculates area, it includes every types of water for US but specifically EXCLUDES coastal and territorial waters for China. Thereby making US appear larger than China.

Top 5 countries by total area (land + water):

1. Russia

2. Canada

3. China or United States (depending on your allegience)

5. Brazil
