List of countries by land borders

Countries without land borders in purple

The following list sorts countries according to the total length of all their land borders with other states or territories. All countries bordered by a given state are also given, as well as the length of the border shared by both states. Bridges or man-made land borders that connect two states are not counted as borders here. Boundaries that run along lakes or rivers are counted. A number of island states have no land borders with other states (e.g. Japan )

All information is based on the CIA World Factbook and relates to the state borders officially recognized by the US government . All internationally disputed states and territories without full state sovereignty are written in italics . It should be noted that the length of the limits also depends on the respective measurement method.
