Africa
List of countries and capitals with currency and
language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of sovereign states and dependent territories of the world by continent, displayed with their respective
national flags and capitals,including their respective currency and native language.
This list divides the world using the seven-continent model, with islands grouped into adjacent continents. The
continents are:
Africa
Asia
Europe
North America
South America
Oceania (a geopolitical region which includes the continent of Australia and the Pacific Islands)
Antarctica
In other models, Asia and Europe can be combined as Eurasia, while North and South America can be combined
as the Americas (for a detailed description of how the world is divided into continents, including different
models, see here).
There are sovereign states and dependent territories that can be considered to belong to more than one continent,
according to geographical, political, or historical criteria.

population, and population density, see here.
Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-
populous continent. At about 30.2 million km² (11.7 million
sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers six percent of the
Earth's total surface area and 20.4 percent of the total land
area.[2] With 1.0 billion people (as of 2009, see table), it
accounts for about 15% of the world's human population.
The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the
north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai
Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast,
and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent includes
Madagascar and various archipelagoes. It has 54 fully
recognized sovereign states ("countries"), 9 territories and
three de facto states with limited recognition.[3]
Africa, particularly central Eastern Africa, is widely accepted
as the origin of humans and the Hominidae clade (great
apes), as evidenced by the discovery of the earliest hominids and their ancestors, as well as later ones that have
been dated to around seven million years ago – including Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Australopithecus
africanus, A. afarensis, Homo erectus, H. habilis and H. ergaster – with the earliest Homo sapiens (modern
human) found in Ethiopia being dated to circa 200,000 years ago.[4] Africa straddles the equator and encompasses
numerous climate areas; it is the only continent to stretch from the northern temperate to southern temperate
zones.[5] The African expected economic growth rate is at about 5.0% for 2010 and 5.5% in 2011.[6]

Asia ( i
/ˈeɪʒə/ or /ˈeɪʃə/) is the world's largest and most
populous continent, located primarily in the eastern and
northern hemispheres. It covers 8.7% of the Earth's total
surface area (or 30% of its land area) and with approximately
4.3 billion people, it hosts 60% of the world's current human
population. During the 20th century Asia's population nearly
quadrupled.[9]

Asia is defined as comprising the eastwards four-fifths of
Eurasia. It is located to the east of the Suez Canal, the Ural
river, and the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus
Mountains (or the Kuma-Manych Depression) and the
Caspian and Black Seas.[10][11] It is bounded on the east by
the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on
the north by the Arctic Ocean.
Given its size and diversity, Asia – a toponym dating back to classical antiquity – "is more a cultural concept"
incorporating diverse regions and peoples than a homogeneous physical entity.[12] Asia differs very widely among
and within its regions with regard to ethnic groups, cultures, environments, economics, historical ties and
government systems.

The Russian Federation is classified as a European country by the United Nations Statistics Division. Russia is
historically the successor of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, a medieval state of northeastern Europe. The Russian
conquest of Northern Asia begins in the late 16th century. Today, most of the territory of Russia is in Asia, but
most of its population lives in the European part.

Europe ( i
/ˈjʊərəp/ EWR-əp or /ˈjɜrəp/ YUR-əp[13]) is, by
convention, one of the world's seven continents. Comprising
the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, Europe is generally
divided from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and
Caucasus Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian and Black
Seas, and the waterways connecting the Black and Aegean
Seas.[14] Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the
north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea
to the south, and the Black Sea and connected waterways to
the southeast. Yet the borders of Europe—a concept dating
back to classical antiquity—are somewhat arbitrary, as the
primarily physiographic term "continent" can incorporate
cultural and political elements.
Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by surface area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres
(3,930,000 sq mi) or 2% of the Earth's surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of Europe's approximately 50
states, Russia is by far the largest by both area and population, taking up 40% of the continent (although the country
has territory in both Europe and Asia), while the Vatican City is the smallest. Europe is the third-most populous
continent after Asia and Africa, with a population of 733 million or about 11% of the world's population.[15]
Europe, in particular Ancient Greece, is the birthplace of Western culture.[16] It played a predominant role in global
affairs from the 15th century onwards, especially after the beginning of colonialism. Between the 16th and 20th
centuries, European nations controlled at various times the Americas, most of Africa, Oceania, and large portions of
Asia. In 1900, Europe's share of the world's population was 25%.[17] Both World Wars were largely focused upon
Europe, greatly contributing to a decline in Western European dominance in world affairs by the mid-20th century
as the United States and Soviet Union took prominence.[18] During the Cold War, Europe was divided along the
Iron Curtain between NATO in the west and the Warsaw Pact in the east. European integration led to the
formation of the Council of Europe and the European Union in Western Europe, both of which have been
expanding eastward since the revolutions of 1989 and the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

population, and population density, see here.
South America is a continent located in the Western
Hemisphere, mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a
relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere.[20][21]
It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the
north and east by the Atlantic Ocean; North America and the
Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest. It is formed by twelve
sovereign states - Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia,
Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and
Venezuela - the French Guiana, which is an overseas region
of France, and the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas
Territory. In addition to this, the ABC islands of the
Netherlands may also be considered part of South America,
as well as Trinidad and Tobago. The South American states
that border the Caribbean Sea – Colombia, Venezuela,
Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana – are also known as
Caribbean South America.
Oceania
South America has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometers (6,890,000 sq mi). Its population as of 2005 has
been estimated at more than 371,090,000. South America ranks fourth in area (after Asia, Africa, and North
America) and fifth in population (after Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America). The word America was coined
in 1507 by cartographers Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann, after Amerigo Vespucci, who was the
first European to suggest that the lands newly discovered by Europeans were not India, but a New World unknown
to Europeans.

Australia (UK /ˌoʊʃɪˈɑːnɪə/ or /ˌoʊsɪˈɑːnɪə/;[22]
US /ˌoʊʃiːˈæniːə/)[23] is a region centered on the islands of the
tropical Pacific Ocean.[24] Opinions of what constitutes
Oceania range from the coral atolls and volcanic islands of
the South Pacific (ethnologically divided into the subregions
of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia)[25] to the entire
insular region between Asia and the Americas, including
Australasia and the Maritime Southeast Asia.The term is
sometimes used more specifically to denote a continent
comprising Australia and proximate islands,[26][27][28][29] or
biogeographically as a synonym for either the Australasian
ecozone (Wallacea and Australasia) or the Pacific ecozone
(Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia apart either from
New Zealand[30] or from mainland New Guinea).[31]

/æntˈɑrtɨkə/ or /ænˈtɑrktɨkə/)[d] is Earth's
southernmost continent, containing the geographic South
Pole. It is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern
Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and
is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. At 14.0 million km2
(5.4 million sq mi), it is the fifth-largest continent in area after
Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. For
comparison, Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia.
About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages at
least 1 mile (1.6 km) in thickness.
Antarctica, on average, is the coldest, driest, and windiest
continent, and has the highest average elevation of all the
continents.[35] Antarctica is considered a desert, with annual
precipitation of only 200 mm (8 inches) along the coast and
far less inland.[36] The temperature in Antarctica has reached −89 °C (−129 °F). There are no permanent human
residents, but anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 people reside throughout the year at the research stations scattered
across the continent. Only cold-adapted organisms survive there, including many types of algae, animals (for
example mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades), bacteria, fungi, plants, and protista. Vegetation where
it occurs is tundra.
Although myths and speculation about a Terra Australis ("Southern Land") date back to antiquity, the first
confirmed sighting of the continent is commonly accepted to have occurred in 1820 by the Russian expedition of
Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev on Vostok and Mirny. The continent, however, remained
largely neglected for the rest of the 19th century because of its hostile environment, lack of resources, and isolation.
The Antarctic Treaty was signed in 1959 by 12 countries; to date, 49 countries have signed the treaty. The treaty
prohibits military activities and mineral mining, prohibits nuclear explosions and nuclear waste disposal, supports
scientific research, and protects the continent's ecozone. Ongoing experiments are conducted by more than 4,000
scientists from many nations.
Antarctica is regulated by the Antarctic Treaty System, which defines it as all land and ice shelves south of 60°S,
and has no government and belongs to no country. However, the following territorial claims in Antarctica have been
made:
Argentina: Argentine Antarctica
Australia: Australian Antarctic Territory
Brazil: Brazilian Antarctica (unofficial)
Chile: Antártica
France: Adélie Land
New Zealand: Ross Dependency
Norway: Peter I Island and Queen Maud Land
United Kingdom: British Antarctic Territory
(Unclaimed: Marie Byrd Land)

Notes
a. ^ In the Faroe Islands the currency has a separate design and is known as the króna, but is not a separate
currency.
b. ^ This North American density figure is based on a total land area of 23,090,542 km2 only, considerably less than
the total combined land and water area of 24,709,000 km².
c. ^ English does not have de jure status.
d. ^ The word was originally pronounced without /k/, but the spelling pronunciation has become very common. The
"c" was originally added to the spelling for etymological reasons and then began to be pronounced.[33][34]

List of countries and capitals with currency and language wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • 1. Africa List of countries and capitals with currency and language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of sovereign states and dependent territories of the world by continent, displayed with their respective national flags and capitals,including their respective currency and native language. This list divides the world using the seven-continent model, with islands grouped into adjacent continents. The continents are: Africa Asia Europe North America South America Oceania (a geopolitical region which includes the continent of Australia and the Pacific Islands) Antarctica In other models, Asia and Europe can be combined as Eurasia, while North and South America can be combined as the Americas (for a detailed description of how the world is divided into continents, including different models, see here). There are sovereign states and dependent territories that can be considered to belong to more than one continent, according to geographical, political, or historical criteria.

Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most- populous continent. At about 30.2 million km² (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers six percent of the Earth's total surface area and 20.4 percent of the total land area.[2] With 1.0 billion people (as of 2009, see table), it accounts for about 15% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent includes Madagascar and various archipelagoes. It has 54 fully recognized sovereign states ("countries"), 9 territories and three de facto states with limited recognition.[3] Africa, particularly central Eastern Africa, is widely accepted as the origin of humans and the Hominidae clade (great apes), as evidenced by the discovery of the earliest hominids and their ancestors, as well as later ones that have been dated to around seven million years ago – including Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Australopithecus africanus, A. afarensis, Homo erectus, H. habilis and H. ergaster – with the earliest Homo sapiens (modern human) found in Ethiopia being dated to circa 200,000 years ago.[4] Africa straddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas; it is the only continent to stretch from the northern temperate to southern temperate zones.[5] The African expected economic growth rate is at about 5.0% for 2010 and 5.5% in 2011.[6] Flag Name Capital Currency Official language Algeria Algiers Budju Arabic Angola Luanda Angolar Portuguese Benin Porto-Novo (official) Cotonou (seat of government) West African CFA franc French Botswana Gaborone Pula English Setswana Burkina Faso Ouagadougou West African CFA franc French Burundi Bujumbura Rupie Kirundi French Central

Asia ( i /ˈeɪʒə/ or /ˈeɪʃə/) is the world's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the eastern and northern hemispheres. It covers 8.7% of the Earth's total surface area (or 30% of its land area) and with approximately 4.3 billion people, it hosts 60% of the world's current human population. During the 20th century Asia's population nearly quadrupled.[9]
  • 7. density Countries 48 (list of countries) Languages List of languages Time Zones UTC+2 to UTC+12 Asia is defined as comprising the eastwards four-fifths of Eurasia. It is located to the east of the Suez Canal, the Ural river, and the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains (or the Kuma-Manych Depression) and the Caspian and Black Seas.[10][11] It is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean. Given its size and diversity, Asia – a toponym dating back to classical antiquity – "is more a cultural concept" incorporating diverse regions and peoples than a homogeneous physical entity.[12] Asia differs very widely among and within its regions with regard to ethnic groups, cultures, environments, economics, historical ties and government systems.

Europe Main articles: Europe and List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Europe See also: Eurasia and List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Eurasia Further information: Geography of Europe For a table of sovereign states and dependent territories in Europe with geographical data such as area, population, and population density, see here. Europe ( i /ˈjʊərəp/ EWR-əp or /ˈjɜrəp/ YUR-əp[13]) is, by convention, one of the world's seven continents. Comprising the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, Europe is generally divided from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian and Black Seas, and the waterways connecting the Black and Aegean Seas.[14] Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Black Sea and connected waterways to the southeast. Yet the borders of Europe—a concept dating back to classical antiquity—are somewhat arbitrary, as the primarily physiographic term "continent" can incorporate cultural and political elements. Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by surface area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000 sq mi) or 2% of the Earth's surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of Europe's approximately 50 states, Russia is by far the largest by both area and population, taking up 40% of the continent (although the country has territory in both Europe and Asia), while the Vatican City is the smallest. Europe is the third-most populous continent after Asia and Africa, with a population of 733 million or about 11% of the world's population.[15] Europe, in particular Ancient Greece, is the birthplace of Western culture.[16] It played a predominant role in global affairs from the 15th century onwards, especially after the beginning of colonialism. Between the 16th and 20th centuries, European nations controlled at various times the Americas, most of Africa, Oceania, and large portions of Asia. In 1900, Europe's share of the world's population was 25%.[17] Both World Wars were largely focused upon Europe, greatly contributing to a decline in Western European dominance in world affairs by the mid-20th century as the United States and Soviet Union took prominence.[18] During the Cold War, Europe was divided along the Iron Curtain between NATO in the west and the Warsaw Pact in the east. European integration led to the formation of the Council of Europe and the European Union in Western Europe, both of which have been expanding eastward since the revolutions of 1989 and the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

It is formed by twelve sovereign states - Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela - the French Guiana, which is an overseas region of France, and the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory. In addition to this, the ABC islands of the Netherlands may also be considered part of South America, as well as Trinidad and Tobago. The South American states that border the Caribbean Sea – Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana – are also known as Caribbean South America.

It is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. At 14.0 million km2 (5.4 million sq mi), it is the fifth-largest continent in area after Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. For comparison, Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia. About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages at least 1 mile (1.6 km) in thickness. Antarctica, on average, is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, and has the highest average elevation of all the continents.[35] Antarctica is considered a desert, with annual precipitation of only 200 mm (8 inches) along the coast and
  • 23. far less inland.[36] The temperature in Antarctica has reached −89 °C (−129 °F). There are no permanent human residents, but anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 people reside throughout the year at the research stations scattered across the continent. Only cold-adapted organisms survive there, including many types of algae, animals (for example mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades), bacteria, fungi, plants, and protista. Vegetation where it occurs is tundra. Although myths and speculation about a Terra Australis ("Southern Land") date back to antiquity, the first confirmed sighting of the continent is commonly accepted to have occurred in 1820 by the Russian expedition of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev on Vostok and Mirny. The continent, however, remained largely neglected for the rest of the 19th century because of its hostile environment, lack of resources, and isolation. The Antarctic Treaty was signed in 1959 by 12 countries; to date, 49 countries have signed the treaty. The treaty prohibits military activities and mineral mining, prohibits nuclear explosions and nuclear waste disposal, supports scientific research, and protects the continent's ecozone. Ongoing experiments are conducted by more than 4,000 scientists from many nations. Antarctica is regulated by the Antarctic Treaty System, which defines it as all land and ice shelves south of 60°S, and has no government and belongs to no country. However, the following territorial claims in Antarctica have been made: Argentina: Argentine Antarctica Australia: Australian Antarctic Territory Brazil: Brazilian Antarctica (unofficial) Chile: Antártica France: Adélie Land New Zealand: Ross Dependency Norway: Peter I Island and Queen Maud Land United Kingdom: British Antarctic Territory (Unclaimed: Marie Byrd Land) Moreover, the following dependent territories are situated in the wider Antarctic Region:
