China has the longest land borders, sharing 22,147.34 kilometers of borders with 16 countries. Russia is second, at 19,900 kilometers shared with 14 countries. The United States is fifth, with 12,034 kilometers of borders with Canada and Mexico. Canada, ninth, has 8,893 kilometers of land borders, all shared with the United States.

Canada is tops in coastline length, with 202,080 kilometers, more than Russia (37,653 km), the United States (19,924 km) and China (14,500) combined.

In response to Julie:

Total area includes area of internal waterways such as lakes and rivers. In some countries, e.g. Canada, these areas make up a significant proportion of the total area. Land area is the total national area with the waterways subtracted. To investigate the area of land which is useful for farming see arable land.
