A country's population can grow because of immigration as well as from the change of birth and death rates.  Canada, for example, has very low birth and death rates, but it is growing as large numbers of people move there from around the world.

What's the question? Canada has a fairly lax immigration process, the US is more rigid. People illegally enter both countries and siphon resources away from citizens and legal immigrants. The US INS has a PR problem, and our reactionary politicians generally only add fuel to the fire.

The Sahara is the world's largest non-polar desert, over 9,000,000 km² (3,500,000 mi²), about the same size as the United States. \n\nThe United States's total area is 3,718,711 square miles (9,631,418 km²), of which land makes up 3,537,438 square miles (9,161,923 km²) and water makes up 181,273 square miles (469,495 km²).\n\nSo, in this comparison, the United States is larger.

Canada....our crime rate is lower...health care is better...(proven by 2005 Harvard (American) study), we are not hated around the world, we have a better social safety net.  I love Canada.  I don't hate our friends in the states....they are relatively the same...just some poor political angles.

I read that too. It goes by land mass and we were the highest. And China has some what of a decline. Pretty scary.\nAnd I go to Canada to visit on the cost side-they say they do have problems. I guess it is where you live. But we are all losing in population growth. And this country does have a huge rise in growth and it is time to stop or I expect it will not be called God's Country any longer.

yes, but the way we americans like to respond to things we won't do a thing about it until america is overpopulated. Look at california, population around 27 million. Japan is roughly the same size as cali and has 140 million people. China has over a billion, and India is supposed to overtake china within the next 25 years...

As an American born, naturalized Canadian, living in Canada for the past 40 years, but visiting family a couple times a month in the US, I am going to say Canada.  Life seems somehow a lot less stressful in Canada and a lot more laid-back.

Biggest generally will mean 'Land-area'-wise, therefore the answer is Russia..\n"Largest" would mean the 'Population'-size, and that answer is China
