Definition: The area of countries varies significantly and is an important factor in determining a country's size and importance. A country's area can affect its resources, population, and economic performance, and affects its relationships with other countries and organizations. There are different types of land that can be relevant to a country. Land area refers to the mainland and includes the total area that is above the waterline. Inland water area refers to the area occupied by inland water bodies such as lakes and rivers. The coastline is the length of the border between land and sea and can also be important for some countries. The area of the countries can have an impact on the environment. For example, clearing forests to create agricultural land can destroy the environment and worsen climate change. At the same time, a large area can be used for the protection of ecosystems or for the cultivation of trees for climate protection. A country's area can also affect its population. Larger countries often have more people, which can lead to the emergence of metropolitan areas. Smaller countries often have higher population densities and therefore may have more challenges dealing with resources and infrastructure.
