Europe
Europe is a continent forming the western peninsula of Eurasia, bounded by the Arctic and Atlantic oceans and—by convention—the Ural Mountains, the northern Caspian shore via the Emba (Zhem) River/Mughalzhar Hills, and the Kuma–Manych Depression toward the Black and Mediterranean seas. Occupying roughly 10 million km², it is home to about 744 million people in 2025, features dense linguistic and cultural diversity, and encompasses influential political and economic organizations such as the European Union and NATO.
