A country is a political entity that is usually located on the continent. They are usually smaller than continents although Russia is larger than three continents while Canada, the US, China, and Brazil are larger than one continent.

A continent is a large landmass made up of multiple countries, while a country is a defined geographical area with its own government and borders. Continents are the largest divisions of land on Earth, such as Africa or Asia, while countries are smaller political units within continents, like France or Brazil.
