Notes
Russia is physically the largest country, yet
about half is uninhabitable. Canada is second largest but it also has lots of
uninhabilitable area. I wonder what the rankings of sizes would be, if you only
included habitable areas.
I couldn't find lists of how much of each country is habitable. Australia sure has a huge amount of desert, and so does any country containing the Sahara.

Prosperity in every country is dependent on the population earning
enough income to enjoy some prosperity. This takes effort on the part of their
citizens to increase their self-reliance and productivity. China and Russia
were not developed to give their populations the promise of land ownership,
usually required to develop a true market economy like the US. So, it’s hard to
say what Russia could eventually do with its land mass advantages or what China
could do with its population.
Not all countries can reach the level of prosperity the US has
achieved, but they must try to improve their lot to benefit their populations.
