Revision as of 01:21, 5 May 2018
 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into List of sovereign states and dependent territories by continent. (Discuss) Proposed since July 2016. |
.svg)
This is a list of sovereign states and dependent territories in Asia. It includes both fully recognized states, states with limited recognition, and dependent territories of both Asian and non-Asian states. It lists 50 sovereign states, 5 states with limited international recognition, and 6 dependent territories and other territories. While most of Russia's area is in Asia, it is generalized as being in Europe since its capital, Moscow, and most of its population are there. In addition, while Egypt extends into Asia through the Sinai Peninsula, it is considered an African country because most of its population and geographic area is in Africa.
Geographical boundaries of Asia
The divisions between Asia and Europe occur at the Ural Mountains, Ural River and Caspian Sea in the east, the Caucasus Mountains and the Black Sea with its outlets, Bosporus and Dardanelles in the south. Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkey all have territory in both Asia and Europe. Armenia and Cyprus are entirely in Western Asia but are socio-politically European countries.
The division between Asia and Africa is usually considered to be the Suez Canal, placing the Sinai peninsula in Asia, and therefore Egypt may be included as an Asian state.
The division between Asia and Australasia (Oceania) is disputed, and placed somewhere between Java and New Guinea. Indonesia spans both areas, but is considered to be Asian. East Timor is sometimes considered to be part of Australasia, but due to its being surrounded by Indonesia and its once being part of Indonesia, it is considered Asian. Papua New Guinea is occasionally considered Asian by virtue of neighbouring Indonesia, but this is rare, and it is generally accepted to be part of Australasia. The division between Asia and North America is considered to be the Bering strait. Some of the Aleutian Islands may be considered as Asian.
Sovereign states
Further information: Sovereign stateA sovereign state is a political association with effective sovereignty over a population for whom it makes decisions in the national interest. According to the Montevideo convention, a state must have a permanent population, a defined territory, a government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other states.
UN member and observer states
There are 50 Asian states in this list. All enjoy wide or full recognition and are members or observers of the UNUnited Nations.

Notes
- Area and population figures given are for the whole state, including areas located outside of Asia. Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkey all contain territory in Europe. The border between Asia and Oceania is not clearly defined, and Indonesia and East Timor are sometimes placed in Oceania.
- ^ The area and population of states with separatist regions includes that of the separatist regions.
- Jerusalem was declared the capital of Israel in 1950. The 1980 Jerusalem Law states that "Jerusalem, complete and united, is the capital of Israel", and the city serves as the seat of the government, home to the President's residence, government offices, supreme court, and parliament. United Nations Security Council Resolution 478 declared the Jerusalem Law "null and void" and called on member states to withdraw their diplomatic missions from Jerusalem. Foreign countries maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities.
- Although Kuala Lumpur is the official capital of Malaysia, Putrajaya is the seat of government.
- Akrotiri and Dhekelia are British military bases, with the population including 8,000 United Kingdom personnel and dependents.
- Although the islands have no remaining indigenous inhabitants, a military base shared between the United Kingdom and the United States is located on the island of Diego Garcia, with a staff of 4,000 people.
- Represents total land area. Including claimed ocean area, total area 54,400 km (21,004 sq mi).
- Although the majority of Egypt is in Africa, it could be argued that the Sinai Peninsula is geographically a part of Asia.
