Flag of Azerbaijan
The flag of Azerbaijan features three equal horizontal bands of blue, red and green, with a white fly-side facing crescent and eight-pointed star centered in the red band.
Where it is
Azerbaijan is grouped in Western Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. Its land-border list includes 5 countries in this atlas: Armenia, Georgia, Iran, Russia, Türkiye. It is landlocked.
Azerbaijan has a recorded area of 86,600 square kilometres. Among the 17 countries assigned to Western Asia in this dataset, it ranks 8 by area, from largest to smallest. Jordan is immediately above it in that ordering, at 89,342 km². United Arab Emirates is immediately below it, at 83,600 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 10,246,996 people for Azerbaijan in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 118 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Azerbaijani. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Azerbaijani Manat (AZN). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
