Turkey, with a population of 84 million, straddles both Europe and Asia, with most of its population living within its Asian part; though within its territory in Europe, some one-tenth of its population is situated.

Table
The ranking here is according to the national figures, which may be estimates or somewhat out of date so the ranking of countries that are very close in population is approximate. The United Nations estimates are those published in the UN's World Population Prospects , which are based on censuses, population registers, surveys, and other statistics. This list also includes the partially recognized country of Kosovo.
 Transcontinental countries that straddle Europe and Asia.
 Transcontinental countries with overseas territories outside Europe.
 Countries entirely within Asia that may be considered European because of their political, cultural, and sporting ties with Europe.
