Berbeda dengan angka-angka dalam artikel negara-negara, angka-angka pada tabel ini didasarkan pada area yang mencakup perairan (danau, reservoir, sungai) dan karenanya mungkin angkanya lebih kecil di sini.
Seluruh Rusia, Mesir, dan Turki disebutkan di dalam tabel ini, meskipun hanya sebagian dari wilayah negara-negara itu berada di Asia. Georgia, Armenia, dan Azerbaijan juga dicantumkan di sini, meskipun negara-negara itu juga dapat dianggap sebagai bagian dari Eropa.
Tepi Barat dan Jalur Gaza tidak dicantumkan secara terpisah, melainkan digabungkan sebagai bagian dari wilayah Palestina.

Asia adalah regional atau benua terluas dan terkenal, tergantung dari apa batasannya. Secara tradisional batasannya adalah bagian dari massa benua yang terbentang dari Afrika - Euraisa terletak ditimur [[Terusan Suez]], pegunungan Ural dan selatan dari Pegunungan Caucasus dan Laut Kaspi serta Laut Hitam. Sekitar 60% penduduk dunia tinggal di Asia, yang mana 2% diantaranya menempati bagian utara dan separo bagian pedalaman seperti (Siberia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, bagian barat Uzbekistan dan Turkmenistan); yang 98% tinggal diseparo sisa lainnya.

Sejarah., as being from Semitic erēbu "to enter" or "set" (of the sun). However, an originally Mesopotamian or Middle Eastern perspective would not explain how the term "Asia" first came to be associated with Anatolia as lying west of the Semitic speaking area.
History
Medieval Europeans considered Asia as a continent, a distinct landmass. The European concept of the three continents in the Old World goes back to classical antiquity with the etymology of the word rooted in the ancient Near and Middle East. The demarcation between Asia and Africa is the Isthmus of Suez and the Red Sea. The boundary between Asia and Europe is commonly believed to run through the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, the Bosporus, the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea, the Ural River to its source, and the Ural Mountains to the Kara Sea near Kara, Russia. However, modern discovery of the extent of Africa and Asia made this definition rather anachronistic, especially in the case of Asia, which would have several regions that would be considered distinct landmasses if these criteria were used (for example, South Asia and East Asia). Geologists and physical geographers no longer consider Asia and Europe to be separate continents. It is either defined in terms of geological landmasses (physical geography) or tectonic plates (geology). In the former case, Europe is a western peninsula of Eurasia or the Africa-Eurasia landmass. In the latter, Europe and Asia are still part of the Eurasian plate, which excludes the Arabian and Indian tectonic plates. In human geography, there are two schools of thought. One school follows historical convention and treats Europe and Asia as different continents, categorizing Europe, East Asia (the Orient), South Asia (British India), and the Middle East (Arabia and Persia) as specific regions for more detailed analysis. The other schools equate the word "continent" in terms of geographical region when referring to Europe, and use the term "region" to describe Asia in terms of physical geography. Because in linguistic terms, "continent" implies a distinct landmass, it is becoming increasingly common to substitute the term "region" for "continent" to avoid the problem of disambiguation altogether.
There is much confusion in European languages with the term "Asian". Because a category implies homogenity, the term "Asian" almost always refers to a subcategory of people from Asia rather than referring to "Asian" defined in term of "Asia". The fact that in American English, Asian refers to East Asian (Orientals), while in British English, Asian refers to South Asian reflects this confusion. Sometimes, it is not even clear exactly what "Asia" consists of. Some definitions exclude Turkey, the Middle East, and/or Russia. The term is sometimes used more strictly in reference to Asia Pacific, which does not include the Middle East or Russia, but does include islands in the Pacific Ocean — a number of which may also be considered part of Australasia and/or Oceania. Asia contains the Indian subcontinent, Arabian subcontinent, as well as a piece of the North American plate in Siberia.
Geographical regions
As already mentioned, Asia is a subregion of Eurasia. For further subdivisions based on that term, see North Eurasia and Central Eurasia.
Some Asian countries stretch beyond Asia. See Bicontinental country for details about the borderline cases between Asia and Europe, Asia and Africa, and Asia and Oceania.
The following subregions of Asia are traditionally recognized:
Central Asia
East Asia
Far East
North Asia
South Asia (or Indian Subcontinent)
Southeast Asia
Southwest Asia (or Middle East or West Asia)
Central Asia
There is no absolute consensus in the usage of this term. Usually, Central Asia includes:
the Central Asian Republics of Kazakhstan (excluding its small European territory), Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan.
Afghanistan, Mongolia, and the western regions of China are also sometimes included.
Former Soviet states in the Caucasus region.
Central Asia is currently geopolitically important because international disputes and conflicts over oil pipelines, Nagorno-Karabakh, and Chechnya, as well as the presence of U.S. military and U.K. military forces in Afghanistan.
East Asia
This area includes:
The Pacific Ocean island countries of Taiwan and Japan.
North and South Korea on the Korean Peninsula.
China, but sometimes only the eastern regions
Sometimes the nations of Mongolia and Vietnam are also included in East Asia.
More informally, Southeast Asia is included in East Asia on some occasions.
