Europe

Europe is a continent that covers the western fifth of the Eurasian landmass. Although geographically it is only a subcontinent that, together with Asia, forms the continent of Eurasia, historically and culturally it is often considered a continent in its own right. The term „Europe“ is therefore not defined purely geographically, but also refers to historical, cultural, political, economic, legal or ideal aspects. The inhabitants of Europe are referred to as Europeans. With over 700 million inhabitants living in an area of about 10.5 million square kilometers, Europe is one of the more densely populated parts of the world. Europe is highly urbanized, especially around its capital cities and the „Blue Banana“ megalopolis. Major political alliances of Europe are mainly the Council of Europe and the European Union.
