The largest country in Africa, both by land area and population, is Algeria. It is located in North Africa and covers an area of approximately 2.38 million square kilometers. Algeria is bordered by several other African countries, including Tunisia, Libya, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Western Sahara, and Morocco. It also has a coastline on the Mediterranean Sea.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the second-largest country in Africa, after Algeria, with a total area of approximately 2.34 million square kilometers. It is located in Central Africa and shares borders with nine other African countries. The DRC is rich in natural resources, including copper, cobalt, and diamonds, but it has also faced significant political instability and conflict in recent years.
