Where it is
Tunisia is grouped in Northern Africa, within Roam’s Africa region. Its land-border list includes 2 countries in this atlas: Algeria, Libya. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Tunisia has a recorded area of 163,610 square kilometres. Among the 6 countries assigned to Northern Africa in this dataset, it ranks 6 by area, from largest to smallest. Morocco is immediately above it in that ordering, at 446,550 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 12,348,573 people for Tunisia 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 75 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Arabic. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Tunisian Dinar (TND). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
