World share = estimated area population ÷ estimated world population × 100. Very small shares can round to 0.00%. Countries and territories follow UN source coverage, without implying sovereignty. The country-profile directory follows World Bank economy coverage, so some areas have no profile.

Geography: UN M49; the Americas are divided into North America (including Central America and the Caribbean) and South America. Coverage and exceptions.
