This is a list of countries by population in 2000. It is a list of all the countries and dependent territories in the world by their estimated population in the year 2000.
Because the table contains data only for the 230 nations and territories existing at the start of 2000, there are no entries for nations that became independent in 2000 or in later years.
This list adopts definitions of "country" on a case-by-case basis. The United Kingdom is considered as a single country while constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are regarded separately.
