About Asia

The largest continent by land and people — five UN sub-regions from the Mediterranean to the Pacific.

Asia is the largest continent by land and by people. In the UN’s classification it stretches from the Mediterranean and the Red Sea to the Pacific, and from the steppes of Kazakhstan and Mongolia to the islands of South-eastern Asia, holding the highest mountains in the world in the Himalaya, deserts and plateaus at its centre, and monsoon lands in the south and east.

It saw the first cities of Mesopotamia, the civilisations of the Indus valley and China, and the birth of most of the world’s major religions. Trade routes such as the Silk Roads linked its regions to one another and to Europe and Africa for millennia. The UN divides it into five sub-regions, from Western Asia to Eastern Asia; Russia is counted in Europe.

Each line is every country in the world at its published value; Asia’s countries are the red ticks, and the dashed line is the world median. There is no regional average: a region has countries, not a life expectancy of its own.

Questions, method and sources

Which countries are in Asia?

Asia holds 52 countries and territories on this site, in 5 UN sub-regions: Central Asia, Eastern Asia, South-eastern Asia, Southern Asia and Western Asia. Membership follows the United Nations’ M49 classification.

Which country in Asia is placed highest?

South Korea, placed 13th of 183 in the Country Index 2026. Yemen is placed lowest, 181st. 48 of the region’s 52 countries and territories are placed; the rest hold standings on too few topics.

How does Asia compare with other regions?

Half of its 48 placed countries sit at or above 91st of 183, which places it 3rd of 5 continents. The middle of the whole field is 91st. Nothing is weighted by population or size.

How many people live in Asia?

4,778,004,490 in 2023, the sum of the UN DESA Population Division’s figures for 51 of its 52 countries and territories. No figure is published for Northern Cyprus.

What is the largest country in Asia?

By land area, China: 9,388,210 square kilometres (2024). By population, India: 1,438,069,596 people (2023).

How a region’s figure is made

Membership. Countries belong to regions by the United Nations’ M49 classification; each country declares its sub-region, and a continent is the sum of its sub-regions.
Positions. Each country’s position is its Country Index 2026 result, unchanged. This page slices the world ranking by place; it does not re-rank anyone.
The median. A region’s figure is the median of its placed countries’ positions: half sit at or above it, half below. With an even number of placed countries it takes the better of the two middle positions, since there is no country at a half place. Countries the index does not place are named, never counted in.
A place among peers. Continents are compared with continents and sub-regions with sub-regions, never a part with the whole that contains it; regions sharing a median share a place. Nothing is weighted by population or size, and population and land area are the only figures ever added up.

Where the regions come from

United Nations Statistics Division, Standard country or area codes for statistical use (M49). M49’s middle level (Sub-Saharan Africa; Latin America and the Caribbean) is left out, so every sub-region sits directly under its continent. Kosovo, Northern Cyprus and Somaliland are not in M49 and are placed by geography.

Where the positions come from

Every position is a country’s result in the Country Index 2026 or one of its topics, unchanged. The population and land-area figures are the UN DESA Population Division’s and the FAO’s, added up and shown with their year; every other statistic names its publisher beside its numbers.
