Land area in km²: the Largest Islands set’s figure for its islands, else Wikidata’s (P2046) where it fits the outline, else the area of the outline. Every island Natural Earth draws at 1:10m that Wikidata names, of 5 km² or more (smaller ones when well known), and every island of the Largest Islands set. Countries are those the island’s land lies in, from the outlines. The Middle East: 17 countries from Egypt, Turkey and Cyprus to Iran and Yemen. Places are by geography: what lies in a dependency counts for its own region (Puerto Rico’s islands are the Caribbean’s, Réunion’s Africa’s), and Hawaii is in Polynesia.
