Which country is described as the largest country in the world?

Size refers to land area. The largest country by land area is Russia, spanning about 17 million square kilometers. That makes it bigger than the other big nations—Canada is around 10 million, the United States about 9.8 million, and China roughly 9.6 million. So Russia ranks first when you measure geographic size. (If you were thinking of population, that would point to a different country, since China has the most people.)
