Below is a list of countries and dependencies in South America by area.[1] Brazil is the largest country in South America while Suriname is the smallest.
Panama is not regarded as a transcontinental country but the country is sometimes included in South America due to being part of Colombia prior to its secession in 1903. The island of Trinidad is sometimes included in South America, which then makes Trinidad and Tobago a transcontinental country.
