Largest countries in Asia by population — the full ranked list
The complete ranking of largest countries in Asia by population, in order, with what the ranking counts and how firm the figures behind it are. Free reference, no sign-up — and the guessing game that plays the same list.
The 47 sovereign states of Asia, plus Russia, which spans both continents and appears on the Europe list too. Ordered by population, so the first dozen are the ones everybody gets and the last ten are the Gulf microstates and the island nations. Palestine and Taiwan are left off because the list follows UN membership rather than taking a position.
Ranked from published, countable figures.
