China, the US and Canada are all nearly the same size (9.5 million, 9.1 million and 9 million km^2, respectively).
Russia on the other hand is significantly bigger (16.3 million km^2) - bigger than even Antarctica (14 million km^2).

- johnsonman 13y agoWikipedia says 9.6, 9.8, and 10.0 million km^2 respectively. Do these numbers include something (e.g. water) that the numbers you quoted don't? (They also peg Russia at 17.0 million km^2)
