List of countries with their population figures

Population Figures by Countries One can say the list below represents the world population, it shows the population of all countries and of some important territories. Figures are from the most populated countries to the least populated countries, according to census data, or other demographic data based on official estimates.   List of countries with their population figures- From the most to the least populated countries of the world. The list shows the latest population figures for each country with the source of the data, mostly provided by the national statistics body. Some developing countries do not have such an institution or their statistical organization does not have a website, in this case figures are from UN Population Division. Countries make great efforts to get statistical data from and about their population, but a complete enumeration of a population, also known as census, is very complex, extensive, and expensive and furthermore error-prone. To avoid the expenditure, the statisticians use the scientific method of prediction, a math, based on the projection of the past data collection. The problem with population figures is, they change because population is changing, in some countries faster than in others, and -- while in developing countries the numbers of inhabitants are rising in many developed countries the numbers are decreasing.
