About the African Country Size quiz

- What is the largest country in Africa by area?
- Algeria, at 2,381,741 km² — about 5,269 times the size of Seychelles, the smallest.

- These figures are total area, which includes inland water. That is why some countries with large lakes rank higher than their dry land alone would suggest.
