Home›Western Africa›Country (Contained By)Browse ByCountry (Contained By)This dimension groups cities by the country that contains them. Wikipedia describes a country as referring "to a political entity or its territory in the world," and a city sits inside exactly one such territory at a time, whatever its own local governance looks like. Browsing by country keeps a city with the rest of its own nation's cities.FactsCountry (Contained By)SourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonUN M49 CodeWell-attested11 1Country (Contained By)Filter Results16 entriesArea (sq km)All4033 (1)11,300 (1)56,785 (1)73,252 (1)111,369 (1)114,763 (1)196,722 (1)239,567 (1)242,500 (1)245,857 (1)274,223 (1)322,462 (1)923,769 (1)1,030,000 (1)1,241,238 (1)1,267,000 (1)Independence or Founding YearAll1801 (1)1847 (1)1957 (1)1958 (1)1960 (9)1961 (1)1965 (1)1975 (1)PopulationAll491,233 (1)2,422,712 (1)5,437,249 (1)5,461,319 (1)8,460,512 (1)9,583,381 (1)15,170,420 (1)17,521,167 (1)18,847,519 (1)22,489,126 (1)24,745,000 (1)28,814,878 (1)31,500,000 (1)35,039,451 (1)69,414,000 (1)242,747,130 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareBeninCountry (Contained By)4 entriesBurkina FasoCountry (Contained By)8 entriesCabo VerdeCountry (Contained By)1 entryCote d'IvoireCountry (Contained By)5 entriesGambiaCountry (Contained By)1 entryGhanaCountry (Contained By)11 entriesGuineaCountry (Contained By)5 entriesLiberiaCountry (Contained By)2 entriesMaliCountry (Contained By)6 entriesMauritaniaCountry (Contained By)4 entriesNigerCountry (Contained By)4 entriesNigeriaCountry (Contained By)40 entriesSenegalCountry (Contained By)9 entriesSierra LeoneCountry (Contained By)3 entriesTogoCountry (Contained By)4 entriesUnited KingdomCountry (Contained By)1 entrySources1.
