Notes
1. This is the full area for the Irkutsk Oblast, including that of the Ust-Orda Buryat Autonomous Okrug. If that area was subtracted, then the figure would drop down to 745,762 square kilometers.
2. The Tyumen Oblast contains the Khanty-Mansi and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, but all three are considered to be federal subjects of Russia. The total area for the oblast (with autonomous okrugs included) is 1,433,270 km².
3. These figures cannot be verified by their Wikipedia page.
4. This is the full area for Chita Oblast, including that of Agin-Buryat Autonomous Okrug. If that area was subtracted, then the figure would drop down to 412,188 square kilometers.
5. The province originally covered the entire western half of New Guinea, but in 2003, the western portion of the province, on the Bird's Head Peninsula, was declared by Jakarta to be a separate province named West Irian Jaya. The legality of this separation has been disputed as it appears to conflict with a law giving Special Autonomy status to Papua in the year 2000. The status of West Irian Jaya province is not yet resolved as of early 2006.
