Eurasia is the largest continent on earth. It occupies about 40% of all land. It is the only mainland that borders 4 oceans.
Eurasia countries
Eurasia includes 93 European-Asian countries. The European ones are those located to the west of the Ural Mountains, as well as on the islands belonging to the continent of Eurasia. The rest of it is occupied by the countries of the Asian region.
The largest state of Eurasia is Russia. Its European region is more populated, however, the Asian part of the country is a significant part of the territory. Therefore, there are numerous disputes about whether the Russian Federation is more of a European or still an Asian country?
Asia includes 48 states. Their entire population is 4.2 billion people, which is slightly more than 60% of the population of the entire Earth. Today, Asian countries are the most popular among tourists. This is explained by the dissimilarity of their mentality, customs, and the uniqueness of natural landscapes. Here, a fairly high standard of living, advanced technology of the 21st century.
Despite its close proximity, all Asian countries differ significantly in many respects. Japan and China in financial and economic terms are considered one of the leading states not only in Asia but also in the world. For a long time, China was the territory with the largest number of inhabitants in the world. However, there is a version that in 10 years India will confidently claim the title of the most populous country.
China
The largest of all Asian countries is China.
This state for many has long been associated with a country where fakes are made of absolutely everything in the world, and which is absolutely not shy about stealing any technology.
However, it is primarily a place with the most ancient civilization. At the time of the birth of Christianity in Russia, China already had developed commodity-money relations using paper money. It was here that at one time the compass, silk, glazed ceramics, ink, porcelain, first gunpowder were invented ... It was from here that some areas of philosophy that are widespread in the world came from today.
Tibet, which is part of China today, receives many pilgrims.
A unique feature of China is its medicine. This is not only high technology in traditional methods of treatment. But also brought to perfection alternative medicine: aromatherapy, mud therapy, yoga, acupuncture.
Japan
About 130 million people live in Japan. This is very significant for its small territory. Here is the longest life expectancy in the world than the Japanese are very proud of. Absolutely all aborigines consider themselves descendants of proud samurai. They are very hardworking and disciplined.
The land of the rising sun is in a seismically unsafe zone. Up to 3,000 tremors are recorded here per year. Underwater earthquakes, which lead to huge destructive tsunamis, are no exception. An additional 160 volcanoes must be added to these cataclysms, among which only 20 are considered dormant, and 50 are active. About 20 typhoons per year add to all this with hurricane gale-force winds and downpours. Back in school, the Japanese learn the rules of how to deal with possible natural disasters.
But this does not prevent Japan from being highly developed in every way. Despite the fact that it can rightfully be proud of the best electronic and technological industry, its citizens are deeply devoted to ancient traditions. Today, Japan is a confident leader in the production of machinery, ships, and in electrical engineering. At the height of the food, oil refining industry.Despite the fact that there is a lot of agricultural land, and they are infertile, they manage to get up to 70% of all production that is necessary for domestic consumption. The rest is purchased from abroad.
The transport system in Japan is considered the best and most developed in the world. So per 100 km square. Japanese land accounts for 7 km of railways and about 30 km of highway.
Thailand
But if these Asian countries are the best in technological development, then Thailand remains a mecca for tourists seeking peace and relaxation.
Located in the tropical zone, it is prone to a jungle climate. It has three seasons: the rainy season (from June to October), the cool season (from November to February), the hot season (from March to May).
The political system is a constitutional monarchy. King for Thais is not only the head of state, it is a cult. But, oddly enough, for the Russian mentality, they really love him. The time of his reign is already 70 years (since 1946). You can scold the parliament, discuss and criticize the ministers, but no one will speak badly about the king.
Phumipon Adulyadej lived up to 26 years in Europe, received an excellent education. This undoubtedly greatly influenced his worldview. Being crowned at 26, he, as befits the king, no longer left Thailand. Arriving in a poor country, Bhumipon raised it to a rather significant level. Reforms were carried out in agriculture, education, and in almost all other sectors. Great importance was given to tourism.
The king survived 19 coups, a shift of 20 prime ministers. Despite the fact that it is extremely difficult to obtain permanent residence here, many foreigners choose this country for life for its security, stability, and soft attitude of Thais.
95% of the Thai population profess Buddhism, about 4% are Muslims.
Thai cuisine is recognized as one of the most delicious in the world. She received this title due to the huge number of seasonings and herbs that are used in food. But she is very unusual for the stomach of a European.
Today, against the general background of crisis changes in the life of many states, some Asian countries are recognized as the most stable. These are the Arab Emirates, China, Thailand. They predict a bright future.
