The world's largest and most populous continent; 30% of the world's land and fully 60% of the world's population is in Asia. Four of the five most populated countries in the world (India, China, Indonesia, and Pakistan) are located there, including the most populated country in the world, India. Don't engage in a land war there. Asia has played a vital role in the foundation of modern civilization, with the Cradle of Civilization being located in Iraq, where humankind first began to read, write, create laws, and live in cities under an organized government; the Arabic numeral system, UsefulNotes/{{Buddhism}}, and UsefulNotes/{{Hinduism}} originating from India; gunpowder, papermaking, printing, and the compass all originating from China; UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}}, UsefulNotes/{{Judaism}}, and UsefulNotes/{{Islam}} all originating from the [[UsefulNotes/TheMiddleEast Near East]] (which people seem to forget is a part of Asia); and so much more. While its global influence did wane in favor of UsefulNotes/NorthAmerica and UsefulNotes/{{Europe}} for a long period of history after the [[UsefulNotes/{{Mongolia}} Mongols]] and UsefulNotes/WorldWarII devastated the place, it has seen a resurgence of influence worldwide in recent times. South Asia and the Far East are often lumped in with UsefulNotes/{{Oceania}} as the Asia-Pacific, and sometimes Asia, in general, is combined with UsefulNotes/{{Europe}} as Eurasia or UsefulNotes/{{Africa}} and Europe as Afro-Eurasia.
