The {{count}} rivers 1,000 km and longer — length, discharge, basin area and source country
The world's rivers — a linear layer. Two sources, cleanly separated: Natural Earth supplies the geometry, Wikidata the figures (length, discharge, drainage basin, source, mouth), linked by QID rather than by name to avoid the trap of a single river carrying several labels (Yangtze / Chang Jiang / Jinsha).
4,224 Natural Earth 10m "rivers and lake centerlines" routes are drawn, so the map reads as a river map — but only the 209 rivers of 1,000 km or more are ranked, thickened and named. The threshold is a single, deliberate one: the Rhine and the Elbe make the cut, the Seine and the Po do not. A length isn't an addable volume: no donut chart on this indicator.
A thin line isn't easy to hit at world zoom: every route carries a halo and its own colour. The ranking's flag is the country holding the largest share of the course.
The Nile (6,650 km) narrowly leads the Amazon (6,400 km) — a disputed ranking depending on the measurement method: some studies, counting an Amazon tributary further upstream, reverse the order. The Yangtze (6,300 km), the only fully Chinese river on the podium, is also the world's busiest river for freight traffic.
