This is a list of countries by westernmost point on land (dependent territories included). A selection of dependent territories are listed in italics and are not ranked.
The order doesn't always reflect the proximity of the country's territory to the 180th meridian. In such a case there would be three both the very westernmost and the very easternmost countries, territories, or continents Russia, Fiji and Antarctica, since the End Meridian passes through them on land. Instead for the number of countries, namely Russia, New Zealand, Fiji, United States, and Kiribati that have territory on both sides of the 180th meridian, the given westernmost point of the country is the westernmost point in the direction of travel. Russia, New Zealand, and Fiji have most of their territories west of the 180th meridian, in the Eastern Hemisphere, so they are considered to belong to the easternmost countries with their territory stretching as far to the east as beyond the 180th meridian into the Western Hemisphere. Conversely, the United States and Kiribati have most of their territories east of the 180th meridian, in the Western Hemisphere, so they are considered to belong to the westernmost countries with their territory stretching as far to the west as beyond the 180th meridian into the Eastern Hemisphere.
