Technically speaking, Australia is:
- 7,617,930 km2 / 2,941,288 sq mi
- The 6th largest country in the world
By comparison:
- The United States is 9,826,675 km2 / 3,794,101 sq mi
- India is 3,166,414 km2 / 2,973,193 sq mi
- The United Kindgom is 242,900 km2 / 241,930 sq mi
But despite it's size, Australia has only 22 million people total. That's less than metropolitan Seoul (23,616,000 people), Jakarta (28,019,545 people), and roughly the size of Mexico city (21,200,000). Though Sydney is Australia's largest city, it is only home to 4,627,345 people, roughly 1/6th of New York (18,897,109), 2 million shy of Houston (6,086,538), but a little bigger than Seattle (3,500,026).
