Mongolia has a recorded area of 1,564,110 square kilometres. Among the 5 countries assigned to Eastern Asia in this dataset, it ranks 2 by area, from largest to smallest. China is immediately above it in that ordering, at 9,706,961 km². Japan is immediately below it, at 377,930 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 3,568,978 people for Mongolia 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 2 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Mongolian. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Mongolian Tugrik (MNT). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
