Name the 5 most populace countries in the world no cheating

[Tarlam!]

I knew them. I'm going to guess the largest countries are USA, Australia, China, Russia, and Canada (in no particular order).

I was off a bit. Brazil is in the top 5 and Australia is 6th. I knew Brazil was one of the 5 most populated, but forgot that they were also one of the 5 biggest.

I grew up thinking Australia was the biggest island in the world. When I went to England, I was taught by an Englishman that our school books were wrong. In fact, he claimed, Greenland is the biggest island.

An interesting discussion, whereby Nutz's question about Australia being a continent is also dealt with is on Wiki:
