The largest country in the world is Russia, of course, but a good chuck of it is uninhabitable. Same Goes for Canada. China and the USA also have a lot of uninhabitable areas (mostly in Alaska for the latter)

What's the largest country that is completely habitable?

Too much rainforest in Brazil. India might work though.

I would assume some of the mountainous north is uninhabitable.

I mean, most of Canada is "habitable", you just probably don't want to live there. It's not like in Australia's outback where if you live there, you probably will die.

Some other candidates:

-Argentina. Does it have any uninhabitable mountainous areas?
-Mexico. Would actually be a pretty clear cut candidate except I believe there are some jungle areas in it like Brazil.
-Indonesia. Hmmm maybe this is the winner in terms of unambiguously everywhere.

Of course it depends of your definition, but Argentina also has tropical (or semi-tropical or whatever) jungles.
Also not sure about the deserts in the northwest or Tierra del Fuego to be honest.

That's a really good thought, with one caveat since 1986...

Any nation with beachfront is pretty much automatically excluded. Some setback from the "shoreline" is necessary.


I'll say "Vatican City."

100% seems to be a very difficult figure to achieve.
