TwitterRussia is the largest country in the world by far, with a total area of just over 17 million square kilometers. After Antarctica, the next three countries are Canada, the U.S., and China; all between 9.5 and 10 million square kilometers. The figures given include internal water surface area (such as lakes or rivers) - if the figures were for land surface only then China would be the second largest country in the world, the U.S. third, and Canada (the country with more lakes than the rest of the world combined) fourth. Russia Russia has a population of around 145 million people, putting it in the top ten most populous countries in the world, and making it the most populous in Europe. However, it's vast size gives it a very low population density, ranked among the bottom 20 countries. Most of Russia's population is concentrated in the west, with around 75 percent of the population living in the European part, while around 75 percent of Russia's territory is in Asia; the Ural Mountains are considered the continental border. Elsewhere in the world Beyond Russia, the world's largest countries all have distinctive topographies and climates setting them apart. The United States, for example, has climates ranging from tundra in Alaska to tropical forests in Florida, with various mountain ranges, deserts, plains, and forests in between. Populations in these countries are often concentrated in urban areas, and are not evenly distributed across the country. For example, around 85 percent of Canada's population lives within 100 miles of the U.S. border; around 95 percent of China lives east of the Heihe–Tengchong Line that splits the country; and the majority of populations in large countries such as Australia or Brazil live near the coast.

TwitterBased on land area, Brazil is the largest country in Latin America by far, with a total area of over 8.5 million square kilometers. Argentina follows with almost 2.8 million square kilometers. Cuba, whose surface area extends over almost 111,000 square kilometers, is the Caribbean country with the largest territory.
Brazil: a country with a lot to offer
Brazil's borders reach nearly half of the South American subcontinent, making it the fifth-largest country in the world and the third-largest country in the Western Hemisphere. Along with its landmass, Brazil also boasts the largest population and economy in the region. Although Brasília is the capital, the most significant portion of the country's population is concentrated along its coastline in the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
South America: a region of extreme geographic variation
With the Andes mountain range in the West, the Amazon Rainforest in the East, the Equator in the North, and Cape Horn as the Southern-most continental tip, South America has some of the most diverse climatic and ecological terrains in the world. At its core, its biodiversity can largely be attributed to the Amazon, the world's largest tropical rainforest, and the Amazon river, the world's largest river. However, with this incredible wealth of ecology also comes great responsibility. In the past decade, roughly 80,000 square kilometers of the Brazilian Amazon were destroyed. And, as of late 2019, there were at least 1,000 threatened species in Brazil alone.

TwitterAlgeria is the biggest country in Africa, with an area exceeding 2.38 million square kilometers as of 2020. The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan follow with a total area of around 2.34 million and 1.88 million square kilometers, respectively. On the other hand, Seychelles is the smallest country on the continent, with an area of only 460 square kilometers. Overall, Africa’s total area exceeds 30 million square kilometers, being the second largest continent in the world after Asia. Nigeria and Ethiopia lead the ranking of the most populated countries in Africa.
How have the African countries been formed?
The political geography of Africa has been influenced by its colonial history. Between the 19th and 20th Century, the European colonizers have divided up Africa. The partition of the territories was merely driven by strategic purposes: Borders between countries were artificially created in the absence of a geographic border. Following the decolonization, most countries gained their independence in the second half of the 1900s. The newest country in Africa is South Sudan, which became independent in 2011.
Africa's physical geography
Geographically, the African continent is mostly constituted by plains and tablelands. Inner plateaus are prevalent in the sub-Saharan region. In the center-north, the arid Sahara Desert extends for around nine million square kilometers, being the largest subtropical desert in the world. The continent also has some of the biggest water basins worldwide, namely the Nile, Congo, and Niger rivers. East Africa has, instead, the highest summit on the continent, the Kilimanjaro. Peaking at 5,895 meters, the mountain dominates Tanzania’s landscape and attracts thousands of climbers each year.

TwitterWith 450,295 square kilometers, Sweden is the largest Nordic country by area size, followed by Finland and Norway. This makes it the fifth largest country in Europe. Meanwhile, Denmark is the smallest of the five Nordic countries with only 43,094 square kilometers, however, the Danish autonomous region of Greenland is significantly larger than any of the Nordic countries, and is almost double the size of the other five combined.
Population
Sweden is also the Nordic country with the largest population. 10.45 million people live in the country. Denmark, Finland, and Norway all have between five and six million inhabitants, whereas only 370,000 people live in Iceland. Meanwhile, Denmark has the highest population density of the five countries. Greenland is the most sparsely populated permanently-inhabited country in the world, followed by the regions of Svalbard and Jan Mayen.
Geography
The five Nordic countries vary geographically. While Denmark is mostly flat, its highest point only stretching around 170 meters above sea level, Norway's highest peak is nearly 2,500 meters high. Moreover, Finland is known for its many lakes and is often called the land of a thousand lakes, whereas Iceland is famous for its volcanoes.

TwitterThe TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. A common misunderstanding is that data users think census blocks are used geographically to build all other census geographic areas, rather all other census geographic areas are updated and then used as the primary constraints, along with roads and water features, to delineate the tabulation blocks. As a result, all 2010 Census blocks nest within every other 2010 Census geographic area, so that Census Bureau statistical data can be tabulated at the block level and aggregated up to the appropriate geographic areas. Census blocks cover all territory in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more faces.

TwitterLos Angeles County includes 88 incorporated cities and over 2,600 square miles of unincorporated area. The majority of the County’s 10 million residents live inincorporated cities, and about 1 million residents live in unincorporated areas. To ensure that communities across the County received equal representation in the Parks Needs Assessment, the County was divided into individual Study Areas. These geographic boundaries were developed using a GIS-based process that considered existing jurisdictional boundaries such as supervisorial districts, city borders, and County planning areas alongside information about population.The initial Study Area boundaries were reviewed by the Steering Committee at their first meeting. Revised Study Area boundaries incorporated Steering Committeecomments and resulted in a total of 189 Study Areas. However, due to its annexation into the City of Santa Clarita, one unincorporated community was later eliminated, bringing the final total number of Study Areasto 188. The process of establishing Study Area boundaries is illustrated in Figure 5. Each incorporated city was initially assigned a single Study Area. Cities with population over 150,000 were split into two or more Study Areas, to create a more even distribution of population among Study Areas. Each of these larger cities was allocated a number of Study Areas based on their total population:»» City of Los Angeles: 43 Study Areas»» City of Long Beach: 5 Study Areas»» City of Glendale: 2 Study Areas»» City of Santa Clarita: 2 Study Areas»» City of Lancaster: 2 Study Areas»» City of Palmdale: 2 Study Areas»» City of Pomona: 2 Study Areas»» City of Torrance: 2 Study Areas»» City of Pasadena: 2 Study AreasFor each of these cities, project consultants suggested internal Study Area boundaries based on input from city staff, geographic barriers such as major roadways, Citydeveloped boundaries such as council districts or planning areas, and population distribution. Final determination of the internal boundaries of the Study Areas was at the discretion of city staff.Unincorporated communities in the County were evaluated based on population size and geographic location. Each of the 187 incorporated communities was addressed as follows:»» Geographically isolated communities with small populations were added to the Study Area of the adjacent, like-named city. A total of 18 cities agreed toinclude an adjacent unincorporated community within their Study Area boundaries.»» Distinct and/or geographically isolated communities with larger populations each became an individual Study Area. Any of these communities with more than150,000 people was split into two Study Areas, similar to what was done for large cities.»» Geographically adjacent communities with small populations were grouped according to community name and geography, population distribution, andstatistical areas.»» Each Study Area was assigned a unique identification number, illustrated in Figure 6, Figure 7, and Table 1.

TwitterThis is the 2020 vintage of the 2020 TIGER/Line Census Blocks. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. A common misunderstanding is that data users think census blocks are used geographically to build all other census geographic areas, rather all other census geographic areas are updated and then used as the primary constraints, along with roads and water features, to delineate the tabulation blocks. As a result, all 2020 Census blocks nest within every other 2020 Census geographic area, so that Census Bureau statistical data can be tabulated at the block level and aggregated up to the appropriate geographic areas. Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. Date: 1/21/2021 Update: Irregular. While Census boundaries are updated every 10 years, the Census Bureau makes annual corrections to the geographies as needed. These updates are usually minor and BMC reviews them every few years.Source: U.S. Census Bureau.

TwitterIn 2023, Washington, D.C. had the highest population density in the United States, with 11,130.69 people per square mile. As a whole, there were about 94.83 residents per square mile in the U.S., and Alaska was the state with the lowest population density, with 1.29 residents per square mile. The problem of population density Simply put, population density is the population of a country divided by the area of the country. While this can be an interesting measure of how many people live in a country and how large the country is, it does not account for the degree of urbanization, or the share of people who live in urban centers. For example, Russia is the largest country in the world and has a comparatively low population, so its population density is very low. However, much of the country is uninhabited, so cities in Russia are much more densely populated than the rest of the country. Urbanization in the United States While the United States is not very densely populated compared to other countries, its population density has increased significantly over the past few decades. The degree of urbanization has also increased, and well over half of the population lives in urban centers.

Many country data sets are available on kaggle which are either based on recent covid situation or contain less amount of informations. After going through some of them I feel the need of adding more informations which can be analysed by Machine Learning algorithms.
There are total 3 country data frames are available and each one contains mostly numeric informaions and some textual informations on 250 countries in the world.
Country_data (API).csv:
First data frame which is 'Country_data (API)', is created using API. It contains 250 rows and 11 columns. Each row in this data frame has information on a particular country. There are total 10 information regarding every country which are distributed in 10 columns (region, subregion, population, latlng (latitude and longitude), area, gini, timezones, numericCode, numberOfLanguages, regionalBlocs).
Country_data (Scraped):
Second data frame which is 'Country_data (Scraped)', is created by scraping data from various websites. It has also 250 rows which contains information on same 250 countries from API data frame. There are total 37 columns (Including 'name') which has 36 more informations (e.g.: landArea, totalArea (Including water surface and land area), population, growthRate, birthRate, infantMortalityRate, lifeExpectancy, imports, majorTradingPartners, internetHostsNumber and much more) on each of the countries.
Country_data (Merged).csv:
Both the scraped and API data frames which are mentioned above has one common column which is 'name' (Country names). In 'name' column there are total 250 country names, on which both the API and scraped data frames are meged which results in 'Country_data (Merged)' data frame. It has nothing but merged informations from first two data frames. It has total 250 rows for 250 countries and 47 unique columns (Including 'name' column). Unique 10 information column from API data frame, unique 36 information column from scraped data frame and one common 'name' column from both of them results in 47 unique columns in Merged data frame.
'landArea1' and 'landArea2' both the columns are in scraped and merged data frame. Those two contain the same information, one in square mile unit and another in square kilometer unit. Same goes for 'totalArea1' and 'totalArea2' columns.
In scraped and merged data frame, some textual columns are there like 'portsAndHarbors1', 'majorTradingPartners'. Those can be used by extracting only the number of ports and harbours from 'portsAndHarbors1' or number of majorTradingPartners in case of 'majorTradingPartners'. Without numbers if you have any suggestions how they can be used, let me know.
There are some columns like 'imports1', 'exports1' has textual informations followed by numerical informations. I want some suggestions if they can help in analysis, if so how they can be used. You guys can let me know by finding your ways to use the data and let me know via kernel if you find something interesting.

TwitterFire District Map Pages - Map pages represent square mile rectangles covering Clark County, southern Cowlitz County and western Skamania County. They are used by fire agencies as map extents for the map books they may carry in their vehicles. Map pages are loosely based on Public Land Survey System sections (square miles), and the unique four-digit code for each map page is based on the township, range, and section numbers. However, they should not be used as a survey or legal description reference. Map pages are also a component of CRESA's Public Alert Grid map.See Clark County Metadata Data source: ..\FGDB\dw_PubSafety.gdb\MapPages

This GIS layer contains the geographical boundaries of the 2020 census blocks for Loudoun County, Virginia. The 2020 Census block boundaries were used for statistical data collection and tabulation purposes for the 2020 Decennial Census. Census blocks are the smallest geographic area for publishing data from the decennial Census. The geographical area covered by this geographic feature class is generally very small in densely settled areas, for instance one city block. In sparsely settled areas they may cover several square miles. Census blocks nest within every 2020 Census geographic area (i.e. block groups, tracts, census designated places, and local, state, and federal election districts). This nesting of blocks allows Census Bureau statistical data to be tabulated to the appropriate geographic areas by aggregating the block data up. Census blocks are uniquely numbered within census tracts, with the blocks valid range being 1 to 9999 with leading zeros added (i.e. 0001, 0023) when necessary to create a four digit unique identifier. This 2010 Census block layer is based on the U.S. Census Bureau Census 2020 TIGER/Line files. The boundaries are an extract of aerial photography and cartographic information, such as roads and streams, from the Loudoun County GIS system. Census Blocks are bounded on all sides by visible features, such as roads, streams, lakes, power lines, and railroad tracks, and/or by non-visible boundaries such as town and county boundaries, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads.

TwitterNote: The schema changed in February 2025 - please see below. We will post a roadmap of upcoming changes, but service URLs and schema are now stable. For deployment status of new services beginning in February 2025, see https://gis.data.ca.gov/pages/city-and-county-boundary-data-status. Additional roadmap and status links at the bottom of this metadata.
Purpose
County boundaries along with third party identifiers used to join in external data. Boundaries are from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). These boundaries are the best available statewide data source in that CDTFA receives changes in incorporation and boundary lines from the Board of Equalization, who receives them from local jurisdictions for tax purposes. Boundary accuracy is not guaranteed, and though CDTFA works to align boundaries based on historical records and local changes, errors will exist. If you require a legal assessment of boundary location, contact a licensed surveyor.
This dataset joins in multiple attributes and identifiers from the US Census Bureau and Board on Geographic Names to facilitate adding additional third party data sources. In addition, we attach attributes of our own to ease and reduce common processing needs and questions. Finally, coastal buffers are separated into separate polygons, leaving the land-based portions of jurisdictions and coastal buffers in adjacent polygons. This layer removes the coastal buffer polygons. This feature layer is for public use.
