Flag of Albania

Where it is
Albania is grouped in Southeast Europe, within Roam’s Europe region. Its land-border list includes 3 countries in this atlas: Montenegro, Greece, North Macedonia. The source classifies it as not landlocked. The source also lists UNK, outside this 195-country set.
Albania has a recorded area of 28,748 square kilometres. Among the 8 countries assigned to Southeast Europe in this dataset, it ranks 6 by area, from largest to smallest. Bosnia and Herzegovina is immediately above it in that ordering, at 51,209 km². North Macedonia is immediately below it, at 25,713 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 2,349,580 people for Albania in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 82 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Albanian. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Albanian Lek (ALL). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
