Among 49 countries of Asia, Israel ranks 31 by population. India and China each have about 150 times as many people. Israel is larger than Laos, Kyrgyzstan, Singapore and the others below it.

Bar lengths are drawn to scale, so the smaller countries appear as thin bars next to India and China. Asia here includes Turkey, the Caucasus, and the Arab League members that lie in Asia.
