The World by RegionThese geographic regions
are used throughout this atlas. Data are included for those
countries with populations of
500,000 or more.
Human security is primarily about people, not about states. Well over half the world's people live in only two regions – Central & South Asia and East & SE Asia & Oceania. And another two regions – Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa – contain almost half the world’s countries. It is useful to remember these disparities when interpreting the regional figures and country-by-country maps in this atlas.
