Countries Ranked by Population

This is a list of countries ordered according to population. The list includes sovereign states and dependent territories. Figures are based on the most recent estimate or projection by the national census authority where available and generally rounded off. Other figures are based on the 2007 July 1 estimate by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs – Population Division. Because these figures are not collected at the same time in every country, or at the same level of accuracy, the resulting rankings may be misleading. The estimated total population of the world is 6,750,000,000.
