Europe & the Americas

Europe is a continent rich in history, culture, and innovation. Covering about 10.18 million km² (3.93 million sq mi), it is home to over 740 million people. Geographically, Europe features diverse landscapes — from the snowy Alps and Nordic fjords to Mediterranean coastlines and fertile plains. Known as the birthplace of Western civilization, Europe has shaped global art, science, politics, and philosophy. Today, major cities like London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, and Madrid are renowned centers of culture, commerce, and tourism.

The Americas, stretching from North America through Central America to South America and the Caribbean, cover around 42.55 million km² (16.42 million sq mi). With a combined population of over 1 billion people, the region is a vibrant mix of indigenous heritage, colonial influence, and modern innovation. The Americas boast remarkable natural wonders, including the Amazon Rainforest, Rocky Mountains, Caribbean islands, and Andes range. Economically and culturally dynamic, the region’s great cities — New York, São Paulo, Toronto, Mexico City, and Buenos Aires — stand as global leaders in business, entertainment, and cultural diversity.
