The ranking here is according to the national figures, which may be estimates or somewhat out of date so the ranking of countries that are very close in population is approximate. The United Nations estimates are those published in the UN's World Population Prospectsas of 2023, [2] which are based on censuses, population registers, surveys, and other statistics. [3] This list also includes the partially recognized country of Kosovo.
