Asia is the world’s largest and most populous continent. Covering about 44.6 million km², it makes up nearly 30% of Earth’s land area. In 2021, the population was around 4.7 billion people, or about 60% of the global population.
The population is very unevenly distributed, from sparsely inhabited areas in Siberia to megacities such as Tokyo, Delhi, and Shanghai. Countries like China, India, and Japan play central roles in the world economy, and the region is a driving force for technological and demographic change.
Asia also contains politically disputed areas, including Taiwan and Palestine, whose status is not recognized by all countries. With our interactive map quizzes, you can learn about Asia’s countries, capitals, regions, and flags in an easy and engaging way.
