North Asia may mean *The Asian part of the Russian Federation (Siberia). Although the Statistical Division informally recognizes the existence of this region, according to its one-nation, one-area rule, all of Russia is classified as belonging to Europe. The opposite view, that all of Russia is Asian (bringing Asia west to the limits of Scandinavia) is but rarely seen, as European Russia is the most densely populated. *Northern Asia as a region of history includes approximately the same territory, with differences in the southern border varying according to historical circumstance. The Ural River and the Ural Mountains (east side) have been the traditional border. Transcaucasia was in the Russian Empire and was considered historically Asian. As the Urals border is internal to Russia and before its fall to the Soviet Union, and therefore is an internal affair, no national or international agencies presume to make any official definitions of a "North Asia."
