Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent, home to roughly 4.7 billion people across 49 mapped sovereign states. It spans the Levant and Arabian Peninsula in the southwest, the Caucasus in the northwest, the steppes and deserts of Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Himalayan plateau, the cold trans-Ural expanse of Siberia (covered separately), and the densely-populated archipelagos of Southeast and East Asia. The continent contains the world's tallest peak, its deepest land depression, and three of its largest metropolitan areas.

This topic covers the 49 sovereign states the standard regional map breaks Asia into — every UN-member state geographically on the Asian continent, plus the two widely-mapped partially-recognised states. Practice the names by typing each one against a live Asia map, click each country on the map under the clock, drill the flag-to-name pairing one banner at a time, sort Asian countries from non-Asian distractors in the tile-select rounds, or match each capital to its country across regional rounds. Every mode counts toward your topic mastery.

Asia's regional sub-divisions make natural drill sets: East Asia, Southeast Asia and its maritime archipelagos, the South Asian subcontinent and its island states, the five Central Asian republics, the Middle East and West Asia, and the Caucasus. New here: try the click-the-map mode first — Asia's shape is more memorable than its alphabetical list.
