Association of Southeast Asian Nations
ASEAN covers a land
area of 4.4 million square kilometres, 3% of the total land area of
Earth. ASEAN territorial waters cover an area about three times larger than its
land counterpart. Member countries have a combined population of approximately
625 million people, 8.8% of the world's population. In 2015, the organisation's
combined nominal GDP had grown to more than
US$2.8 trillion. If ASEAN were a single entity, it would rank as the
seventh largest economy in the world, behind the USA, China, Japan, Germany,
the United Kingdom and France.[5] ASEAN
shares land borders with India, China, Bangladesh, East Timor,
and Papua New Guinea, and maritime borders with India, China, and Australia.
Both East
Timor and Papua New Guinea are backed by certain ASEAN
members for their membership in the organization.
