List of countries by continents
This is a list of sovereign states and dependent territories of the world by continents.
- By UN association:
- The 193 members of the United Nations (UN)
- The 2 General Assembly Observer States (the Vatican City State (sometimes Holy See) and the State of Palestine)
- By other states:
- De facto states with disputed sovereignty
- States that lack international recognition
- Cook Islands and Niue, two states in free association with New Zealand, without UN membership
- By non-sovereign territories:
- Generally this includes non-sovereign territories recognized by the UN as part of any state.
- Dependent territories
- Other territories often regarded as separate geographical territories even through they are integral parts of their mother states (such as the overseas departments and regions of France)
Transcontinental countries are listed only once, in the continent in which the United Nations groups member states. In some cases, it is not obvious which continent a country should be listed in. For example, Cyprus is geographically part of Asia but culturally more a part of Europe. Russia's capital is in Europe but most of its land area is in Asia. The United Nations groups Georgia with Eastern European states, even though both its capital and almost all of its land area are in Asia, and it is most often categorized as an Asian country.
Africa
Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent. At about 30.3 million km2 (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20% of its land area, accounting for about a fifth of the world's land. With 1.3 billion people as of 2018, it accounts for about 16% of the world's human population. It is surrounded by large areas of water. There are 54 fully recognized and independent countries in Africa, and 14.7% (1.216 billion) of the world's population lives there. It is thought to be the continent where the first humans evolved.
