也门的面积数据长期存在重大偏差。1官方宣称的555,000平方公里面积数据源于1991年也门统一后的虚报边界，而美国中情局《世界概况》等国际机构采用的527,968平方公里则是基于两个错误数据的相加。1与此相对，Google地图实测面积仅为456,000平方公里。1
这些数据错误根源深远。1北也门的195,000平方公里数据沿用了1904年奥斯曼帝国时期的记录，但实际面积仅136,000平方公里；南也门的332,968平方公里数据则因1976年世界银行报告中的重复计算错误而被夸大，实际面积仅288,000平方公里。1北也门的错误数据被误用超过100年，而南也门的错误则延续近50年。1
An examination of Yemen's territorial measurements has uncovered substantial discrepancies between widely cited official figures and actual geographic data.1 The country's commonly reported area of 555,000 square kilometers, which appears in Wikipedia and other sources, stems from inflated boundary claims made following the nation's unification in 1991.1
International organizations including the CIA have relied on figures of 527,968 square kilometers for Yemen's size, yet these numbers themselves contain compounding errors from historical data.1 This CIA figure derives from combining North Yemen's stated area of 195,000 square kilometers with South Yemen's 332,968 square kilometers—both figures now recognized as inaccurate.1 North Yemen's measurement traces back to Ottoman Empire records from 1904, despite the region's actual size being only 136,000 square kilometers, making the error span over a century.1 South Yemen's inflated figure of 332,968 square kilometers originated from a 1976 World Bank report containing a calculation error; the actual area measured only 288,000 square kilometers.1 Contemporary measurements using Google Maps place Yemen's actual territory at approximately 456,000 square kilometers.1
