Hi there, first time using this forum, so if I'm missing out on a provided link, please don't chew me up. Smile

I am looking for a website that displays the world's geo-political divisions in a percentage form. I have found some in numerical, but in all honesty math frightens me.

I've found out that China is as large as 1/15th of the worlds total land mass, for example. I would like to be able to find a site that would narrow that sort of percentage to 0.02% (I'm thinking Moraco would fit in here).

Thanks for any info you may have!

To obtain an area by percentage lets consider Russia from the list of countries at that webpage.

World LAND area=148940000 sq kilometres. (see first line in table)
Russia=17075200 sq kilometres

then Russia occupies 100 X 17075200/148940000 = 11.46 percent of the land in the world.
