From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Asia or Northern Asia is a subregion of Asia. There are two common definitions of the term, of which the former is more common in politics[citation needed], while the latter is used more often in geographical and social contexts:
- the region also known as East Asia with or without the inclusion of Russian territory.[citation needed]
- consisting of all or part of Russia, namely Asian Siberia; however, by some definitions, not all of Siberia is part of Northern Asia and vice versa. This definition may also frequently include Mongolia and is partly overlapping with the Asian steppe.
