Asia consists of 50 countries with a total land area of 45 million km² (17 million square miles), representing 30% of the Earth’s habitable surface. Asia’s coastlines have a combined length of 220,266 km (136,896 miles). There are 4.69 billion people living in Asia — that’s 59.5% of the world’s population — and they account for around 38% of global economic output.
77% of Russia is also part of Asia. Since most of the inhabitants (85%) live in the European part of the country, Russia is listed in our overview of Europe. The border between Europe and Asia runs approximately along the Urals, located east of Moscow.
