Tyumen and Kurgan Oblasts, which are geographically in Siberia but administratively part of the Urals Federal District, together have a population of about 4.3million. Thus, the whole region of Siberia (in the broadest usage of the term) is home to approximately 30million people. [94] It has a population density of about three people per square kilometre.

Kaliningrad Oblast, westernmost part of Russia along the Baltic Sea, is about 9,000km (5,600mi) apart from its easternmost part, Big Diomede Island in the Bering Strait. [4] This distance spans about 6,800 kilometres (4,200mi), to Nome, Alaska. [ clarification needed] From north to south, the country ranges from the northern tip of the Russian Arctic islands at Franz Josef Land to the southern tip of the Republic of Dagestan on the Caspian Sea, spanning about 4,500 kilometres (2,800mi) of extremely varied, often inhospitable terrain.

Italy, a Southern European country, is home to Rome, one of the world’s oldest cities, and the heart of the once mighty Roman Empire.

According to the 2002 census there are 500,000 Tatars in Siberia, but of these, 300,000 are Volga Tatars who also settled in Siberia during periods of colonization and are thus also non-Indigenous Siberians, in contrast to the 200,000 Siberian Tatars which are Indigenous to Siberia. [96] Of the Indigenous Siberians, the Mongol-speaking Buryats, numbering approximately 500,000, are the most numerous group in Siberia, and they are mainly concentrated in their homeland, the Buryat Republic. [97] According to the 2010 census there were 478,085 indigenous Turkic-speaking Yakuts. [98] Other ethnic groups Indigenous to Siberia include Kets, Evenks, Chukchis, Koryaks, Yupiks, and Yukaghirs.Most of Northwest Russia and Siberia has a subarctic climate, with extremely severe winters in the inner regions of Northeast Siberia (mostly Sakha, where the Northern Pole of Cold is located with the record low temperature of −71.2°C or −96.2°F), [29] and more moderate winters elsewhere. Russia's vast stretch of land along the Arctic Ocean and the Russian Arctic islands have a polar climate. [30] A number of factors in recent years, including the fomenting of Siberian separatism have made the definition of the territory of Siberia a potentially controversial subject. [78] In the eastern extent of Siberia there are territories which are not clearly defined as either Siberia or the Far East, making the question of "what is Siberia?" one with no clear answer, and what is a "Siberian", one of self-identification.

This area is mostly about conjecture and how Europe ties together as a continent. It will be updated regularly and this map may change and others will be added.

Aluminium ores are scarce and are found primarily in the Ural region, northwestern European Russia, and south-central Siberia. Copper is more abundant and major reserves are located in the Urals, the Norilsk area near the mouth of the Yenisey in eastern Siberia, and the Kola Peninsula. Another vast deposit located east of Lake Baikal only became exploited when the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) railroad was finished in 1989.Simon: You need to be close to the pinnacle of power.
