Overview

Russia Federation is a land of snow and deadly winters, but also of rivers that meander across meadows and a midsummer sun that never sets. The Russian Federation - spread over all climate zones (except tropical) - is the world's largest country, with land that stretches halfway around the planet.

St. Petersburg and Moscow, the capital, are located in European Russia. Regardless, the entire country is geographically still considered a part of Asia.
European Russia stretches from the borders of Belarus and Ukraine to the Ural mountains, over 1000km east of Moscow; even without the rest of the vast Russian Federation, it constitutes by far the largest country in Europe. Moscow and St Petersburg are connected to the rest of Europe by fast trains and buses, and remain the easiest places to visit.

Population: 143,420,309
Area: 17,075,400 sq km, (6,592,812 sq miles)
