Asia is the largest and most populous continent or region, depending on the definition. It covers 8.6% of the Earth's total surface area, or 29.4% of its land area, and it contains more than 60% of the world's human population.
Asia is traditionally defined as part of the landmass of Africa-Eurasia – with the western portion of the latter occupied by Europe – lying east of the Suez Canal, east of the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas.
and
Russia (Russian: РоÑÑиÌÑ, Rossiya; pronounced [rÊ'sʲi.jÉ]), also[1] the Russian Federation (РоÑÑиÌйÑÐºÐ°Ñ Ð¤ÐµÐ´ÐµÑаÌÑиÑ, Rossiyskaya Federatsiya; [rÊ'sʲi.skÉ.jÉ fʲɪ.dʲɪ'ra.ʦɪ.jÉ], listen (help·info)), is a country that stretches over a vast expanse of Eurasia. With an area of 17,075,400 km², Russia is the largest country in the world, covering almost twice the territory of the next-largest country, Canada, and has the world's eighth-largest population. Russia shares land borders with the following countries (counter-clockwise from northwest to southeast): Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia, and North Korea. It is also close to the United States and Japan across relatively small stretches of water (the Bering Strait and La Pérouse Strait, respectively).
