Russia is the largest country in Europe, and also the largest in the world, its total size amounting to 17 million square kilometers (km2). It should be noted, however, that over three quarters of Russia is located in Asia, and the Ural mountains are often viewed as the meeting point of the two continents in Russia; nonetheless, European Russia is still significantly larger than any other European country. Ukraine, the second largest country on the continent, is only 603,000 km2, making it about 28 times smaller than its eastern neighbor, or seven times smaller than the European part of Russia. France is the third largest country in Europe, but the largest in the European Union. The Vatican City, often referred to as the Holy Sea, is both the smallest country in Europe and in the world, at just one km2. Population Russia is also the most populous country in Europe. It has around 144 million inhabitants across the country; in this case, around three quarters of the population live in the European part, which still gives it the largest population in Europe. Despite having the largest population, Russia is a very sparsely populated country due to its size and the harsh winters. Germany is the second most populous country in Europe, with 83 million inhabitants, while the Vatican has the smallest population. Worldwide, India and China are the most populous countries, with approximately 1.4 billion inhabitants each. Cities Moscow in Russia is ranked as the most populous city in Europe with around 13 million inhabitants, although figures vary, due to differences in the methodologies used by countries and sources. Some statistics include Istanbul in Turkey* as the largest city in Europe with its 15 million inhabitants, bit it has been excluded here as most of the country and parts of the city is located in Asia. Worldwide, Tokyo is the most populous city, with Jakarta the second largest and Delhi the third.

This is NOT a raw population dataset. We use our proprietary stack to combine detailed 'WorldPop' UN-adjusted, sex and age structured population data with a spatiotemporal OD matrix.

The result is a dataset where each record indicates how many people can be reached in a fixed timeframe (90 Mins in this case) from that record's location.

The dataset is broken down into sex and age bands at 5 year intervals, e.g - male 25-29 (m_25) and also contains a set of features detailing the representative percentage of the total that the count represents.

The dataset provides 76174 records, one for each sampled location. These are labelled with a h3 index at resolution 7 - this allows easy plotting and filtering in Kepler.gl / Deck.gl / Mapbox, or easy conversion to a centroid (lat/lng) or the representative geometry of the hexagonal cell for integration with your geospatial applications and analyses.

A h3 resolution of 7, is a hexagonal cell area equivalent to: - ~1.9928 sq miles - ~5.1613 sq km

Higher resolutions or alternate geographies are available on request.

WorldPop data provides for a population count using a grid of 1 arc second intervals and is available for every geography.

One of the main use cases historically has been in prospecting for site selection, comparative analysis and network validation by asset investors and logistics companies. The data structure makes it very simple to filter out areas which do not meet requirements such as: - being able to access 70% of the German population within 4 hours by Truck and show only the areas which do exhibit this characteristic.

Clients often combine different datasets either for different timeframes of interest, or to understand different populations, such as that of the unemployed, or those with particular qualifications within areas reachable as a commute.

By mid-1941, Axis forces had already taken control of most of mainland Europe, as well as much of Northern Africa and parts of the Middle East*. At the outbreak of Operation Barbarossa, the major European countries not under Axis control were the officially-neutral states of Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey, while the Soviet Union and United Kingdom were actively at war with the Axis Powers. By mid-1941, Germany and its allies controlled an area of approximately 3.28 million square kilometers in Europe; by comparison, modern Germany covers an area of approximately 357 thousand square kilometers. Axis control of Europe From September 1938, when Germany annexed the Czech Sudetenland, until June 1941, when Germany launched its invasion of the Soviet Union, the Axis Powers spent much of their time and resources consolidating power across Europe. Countries such as Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and Finland aligned themselves with Germany, as did Italy, who became one of the chief aggressors around the Mediterranean and in Africa. Germany and the Soviet Union both invaded and partitioned Poland in September 1939, through the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of non-aggression to one-another. Germany then took Denmark and most of Norway in April 1940, before pushing into Benelux and France in May. Italy also annexed Albania in April, which was used as a launching point for its failed invasion of Greece later in the year. As Italy had failed to secure the Balkans, a joint Axis offensive then pushed into Yugoslavia and Greece in April 1941, ultimately overwhelming any resistance. However, German intervention in the south then delayed the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union by over a month; Hitler later claimed that this was the reason for Germany's failure to take Moscow before the winter months, although many historians disagree. Launch of Operation Barbarossa Germany broke their pact of non-aggression with the Soviet Union with a surprise invasion, known as Operation Barbarossa, on June 22, 1941. While Axis forces had already extended control over most of Europe by this point, Operation Barbarossa became the largest military invasion or operation in human history. When compared with German capacities in its pre-1938 borders, within a few months of the invasion, the area of land controlled by Germany had grown by a factor of six, the population by a factor of four, and its access to natural resources and energy had also grown several times larger. These increased capacities were essential in allowing Germany to continue its expansion and aggression for the years to come, before the Soviet Union and the Western Allies eventually defeated the Axis forces four years later.

Land impacted by inundation due to sea level rise is projected to rise in Germany under various Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP). Under the SSP1-2.6 low emission scenario the mean projected area affected by sea level rise in Germany is just over *** square kilometers in the next decade relative to the historic baseline. This number grows to approximately *** square kilometers at midcentury and reaches almost, 1265 square kilometers of land affected by the end of the century under the same SSP.
