Flag of Cyprus
The flag of Cyprus has a white field, at the center of which is a copper-colored silhouette of the Island of Cyprus above two green olive branches crossed at the stem.
Where it is
Cyprus is grouped in Southern Europe, within Roam’s Asia region. No land neighbours are listed in the source. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Cyprus has a recorded area of 9,251 square kilometres. Among the 9 countries assigned to Southern Europe in this dataset, it ranks 5 by area, from largest to smallest. Portugal is immediately above it in that ordering, at 92,090 km². Andorra is immediately below it, at 468 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 1,370,754 people for Cyprus 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 148 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Greek and Turkish. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Euro (EUR). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
