The Asia-Pacific region varies in area depending on the context, but it often includes countries in [[East Asia]], [[Southeast Asia]], and [[Oceania]] that [[Pacific coast|border]] the Pacific Ocean. [[South Asia]], [[Mongolia]], [[Myanmar]], and the [[Russian Far East]] are generally included in a wider Asia-Pacific region.&lt;ref&gt;The acronyms and abbreviations &quot;Asia-Pac, AsPac, APJ, JAPA or JPAC&quot; also exist.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Definition&lt;!--&#039;APEJ&#039; and &#039;Asia-Pacific excluding Japan&#039; redirect here--&gt;==<br /> The term may include countries in [[North America]] and [[South America]] that are on the coast of the Eastern [[Pacific Ocean]]; the [[Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation]], for example, includes [[Canada]], [[Chile]], [[Mexico]], [[Peru]], and the [[United States]]. Alternatively, the term sometimes comprises all of [[Asia]] except [[Central Asia]] and [[West Asia]], as well as [[Oceania]]—for example, when dividing the world into large regions for commercial purposes (e.g., into APAC, [[Europe, the Middle East and Africa|EMEA]], [[Latin America and the Caribbean|LATAM]], and [[Northern America|NA]]).&lt;ref&gt;[https://help.adjust.com/en/article/countries-by-region Countries by region]&lt;/ref&gt; [[Central Asia]] and [[West Asia]] are almost never included.&lt;ref name=&quot;apec.org&quot;&gt;[http://www.apec.org/about-us/about-apec/member-economies.aspx Member Economies – Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation]. Apec.org. Retrieved on 2014-04-12.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> There is no clear-cut definition of &quot;Asia-Pacific&quot;, and the regions included change depending on the context. The term has become popular since the late 1980s in commerce, finance, and politics. Despite the heterogeneity of the regions&#039; economies, most individual nations within the zone are emerging markets experiencing rapid growth (compare the acronym &quot;APEJ&lt;!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--&gt;&quot;, &quot;Asia-Pacific excluding Japan&lt;!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--&gt;&quot;).&lt;ref&gt;See for example{{cite journal<br /> | editor-last = Pan<br /> | editor-first = Hui<br /> | date = October 2004<br /> | title = Vonage and Cisco to sell phone equipment<br /> | journal = VoIP Monthly Newsletter<br /> | volume = 2<br /> | issue = 10<br /> | pages = 3<br /> | publisher = Information Gatekeepers Inc<br /> | access-date = 2011-12-15<br /> | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=ZAb52_IQIIMC<br /> | quote = APEJ (Asia-Pacific Excluding Japan) and EEMEA (Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa) will grow their combined share of this figure from 17 percent to 22 percent during the same period, as North America&#039;s share adjusts from 53 percent to 46 percent.<br /> }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Component areas==<br /> The Asia-Pacific region may include:<br /> <br /> ===[[Asia]]===<br /> ==== [[East Asia]] ====<br /> * {{flag|China}}<br /> ** {{flag|Hong Kong}}<br /> ** {{flag|Macau}}<br /> * {{flag|Japan}}<br /> * {{flag|Mongolia}}<br /> * {{flag|North Korea}} <br /> * {{flag|South Korea}}<br /> * {{flag|Taiwan}}<br /> <br /> ==== [[North Asia]] ====<br /> * {{flagdeco|Russia}} [[Russian Far East]] ([[Russia]])<br /> <br /> ==== [[South Asia]] ====<br /> * {{flag|Afghanistan}}<br /> * {{flag|Bangladesh}}<br /> * {{flag|Bhutan}}<br /> * {{flag|British Indian Ocean Territory}} ([[United Kingdom]])<br /> * {{flag|India}}<br /> * {{flag|Maldives}}<br /> * {{flag|Nepal}}<br /> * {{flag|Pakistan}}<br /> * {{flag|Sri Lanka}}<br /> <br /> ==== [[Southeast Asia]] ====<br /> * {{flag|Brunei}}<br /> * {{flag|Cambodia}}<br /> * {{flag|Indonesia}}<br /> * {{flag|Laos}}<br /> * {{flag|Malaysia}}<br /> * {{flag|Myanmar}}<br /> * {{flag|Philippines}}<br /> * {{flag|Singapore}}<br /> * {{flag|Thailand}}<br /> * {{flag|Timor-Leste}}<br /> * {{flag|Vietnam}}<br /> <br /> ===[[Oceania]]===<br /> ==== [[Australasia]] ====<br /> * {{flag|Australia}}<br /> ** {{flag|Ashmore and Cartier Islands}}<br /> ** {{flag|Christmas Island}}<br /> ** {{flag|Cocos (Keeling) Islands}}<br /> ** {{flag|Coral Sea Islands}}<br /> ** {{flag|Heard Island and McDonald Islands}}<br /> ** {{flag|Norfolk Island}}<br /> * {{flag|New Zealand}}<br /> <br /> ==== [[Melanesia]] ====<br /> * {{flag|Fiji}}<br /> ** {{flag|Rotuma}}<br /> * {{flag|New Caledonia|local}} ([[France]])<br /> * {{flag|Papua New Guinea}}<br /> ** {{flag|Bougainville}}<br /> * {{flag|Solomon Islands}}<br /> * {{flag|Vanuatu}}<br /> <br /> ==== [[Micronesia]] ====<br /> * {{flag|Guam}} ([[United States]])<br /> * {{flag|Kiribati}}<br /> * {{flag|Marshall Islands}}<br /> * {{flag|Micronesia}}<br /> * {{flag|Nauru}}<br /> * {{flag|Northern Mariana Islands}} ([[United States]])<br /> * {{flag|Palau}}<br /> * {{flag|Wake Island|local}} ([[United States]])<br /> <br /> ==== [[Polynesia]] ====<br /> * {{flag|American Samoa}} ([[United States]])<br /> * {{flag|Clipperton Island}} ([[France]])<br /> * {{flag|Cook Islands}}<br /> * {{flag|Easter Island}} ([[Chile]])<br /> ** {{flagdeco|Easter Island}} [[Isla Salas y Gómez|Salas and Gómez Island]]<br /> * {{flag|French Polynesia}} ([[France]])<br /> * {{flag|Hawaii}} ([[United States]])<br /> * {{flag|Niue}}<br /> * {{flag|Pitcairn Islands}} ([[United Kingdom]])<br /> * {{flag|Samoa}}<br /> * {{flag|Tokelau}} ([[New Zealand]])<br /> * {{flag|Tonga}}<br /> * {{flag|Tuvalu}}<br /> * {{flag|United States Minor Outlying Islands|name=U.S. Minor Outlying Islands}} ([[United States]])<br /> ** {{flag|Baker Island}}<br /> ** {{flag|Howland Island}}<br /> ** {{flag|Jarvis Island}}<br /> ** {{flag|Johnston Atoll|local}}<br /> ** {{flag|Kingman Reef}}<br /> ** {{flag|Midway Atoll|local}}<br /> ** {{flag|Palmyra Atoll}}<br /> * {{flag|Wallis and Futuna|local}} ([[France]])<br /> <br /> == List of inhabited countries and territories ==<br /> {|class=&quot;wikitable sortable&quot;<br /> !
