Europe

With only 3 million square miles (2% of the surface area on Earth), Europe is the second smallest continent. Although not technically separated from Asia, the border between Europe and Asia are less geographic based and refer more to a political and cultural separation. Despite its small size, Europe accounts for 11% of global population or just fewer than 7.5 million people. Even though Russia straddles both Asia and Europe, it is still the largest and most populous country in Europe.

Vatican City is the smallest in both.

Europe has a large concentration of wealth. Four of the top seven wealthiest nations by GDP are found in Europe. According to the CIA World Factbook, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Italy are the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seven wealthiest nations. Even the smaller nations in Europe are wealthy. Liechtenstein and Luxembourg are two of the three wealthiest nations per capita. Except for the extreme northern and southeast portions of the continent, Europe climates are mainly temperate thanks mostly to the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream pushes warmer waters towards the coast of Europe and warms its air.
