This is a list of countries ordered according to population. The list includes and ranks sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories. Figures are based on the most recent estimate or projection by the national census authority where available and generally rounded off. Other figures are based on the July 1, 2007 estimate by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs – Population Division.[1] Because these figures are not collected at the same time in every country, or at the same level of accuracy, the resulting rankings may be misleading. Note that the  European Union is a sui generis supranational union possessing some "country-like" characteristics. The entity is composed of 27 member states. Its combined population has been estimated at 497,198,740 on January 1, 2008,[2] and it would be ranked 3rd if it were included in the list (7.45% of world population).
