Area in km²: standard reference totals including inland water, as in the Countries set. The United Kingdom (with England, Great Britain and the British Empire): places once under its rule and not now, from Wikidata’s dated country statements and colonial-empire membership, and the CIA World Factbook’s independence dates; military occupations of a few years are left out. A country counts when it, or any of its regions, dependencies, islands or cities, was held. Sources: Wikidata (CC0), Natural Earth 1:50m admin-0.
