Abstract
General information. Geographically, Eurasia is the Earth’s largest continent, covering the two parts of the world, Europe and Asia, and surrounded by the Arctic, Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans and their seas. It is also the Earth’s most populated one — over 3 billion — with the world’s most populated countries China and India accounting for more than half of the population and about 285 million in the 12 independent CIS member states (see Table 1).
