Notes

  1. When a subdivision has the same name as its capital city, the full official name of that subdivision is shown to not cause confusion.
  2. Includes the 897,900 km2 (346,700 sq mi) Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District
  3. The area of the Northwest Territories in Canada was 3,439,296 km2 (1,327,920 sq mi), making it the world's largest subdivision, until 1999, when the territory of Nunavut was split off from the Northwest Territories.
  4. The Tyumen Oblast contains the Khanty–Mansi and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, but all three are considered to be federal subjects of Russia. The total area for the oblast (with the autonomous okrugs included) is 1,433,270 km (890,590 mi).
  5. These figures cannot be verified by their Wikipedia page.

  7. as of 2009
  8. The Arkhangelsk Oblast contains the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, but both are considered to be federal subjects of Russia. The total area for the oblast (with the autonomous okrug included) is 587,400 square kilometres (226,800 sq mi).

  10. Some Cornish people do not consider Cornwall (Cornish: Kernow) (area about 3,562 km2 (1,375 sq mi)) to be part of England.
  11. Not to be confused with Almaty.
  12. French Guiana's official flag is the French flag. Only the French flag is officially recognized by the French constitution as the national flag, the green and yellow flag is however still used by the French Guiana national football team and still commonly flown by civilians, the green and yellow diagonal flag that is commonly used to represent French Guiana, actually has no official status. Other flags unofficially used to represent French Guiana include the Banner of Arms, which adapts the Lesser Coat of Arms of French Guiana into a flag. And the flag of the territorial collectivity used by the local government, which is a white field with green lines with the shape of French Guiana's borders, and a text which reads "Collectivité Territoriale de Guyane".
