Which country has the most islands?

Sweden has 267,570 islands, the most of any country in the world. Out of these only 984 are inhabited; the most famous being the Stockholm Archipelago which is home to 30,000 islands and around 4,000 permanent residents.

The country’s thousands of islands can be found largely along its eastern coastline from the far north to the deep south, with some also located off Sweden’s west coast. The most renowned is the Stockholm Archipelago, which is comprised of nearly 30,000 islands, islets, and rocks between Öregrund in the north and Landsort in the south. The Gothenburg Archipelago lines the west coast along with the Bohuslän Archipelago, which is made up of more than 8,000 islands and islets and has been ranked as the seventh-most beautiful natural wilderness area in the world by CNN Travel.
