تُعد روسيا دولة أوراسية شاسعة تزخر بالموارد الطبيعية، وصادرات الطاقة الاستراتيجية، وتكنولوجيا الفضاء المتقدمة، والقدرات الصناعية المتنوعة.
تنقسم روسيا إلى جزأين رئيسيين: روسيا الأوروبية وروسيا الآسيوية. وعادة ما يتبع الخط الفاصل بينهما جبال الأورال ونهر الأورال. وعلى الرغم من أن الجانب الآسيوي أكبر بكثير، إلا أن معظم سكان روسيا يعيشون في الجزء الأوروبي.

Russia's administrative divisions have the same names as their administrative centers (exceptions have the administrative center name following in parentheses). The United States does not recognize Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the municipality of Sevastopol, nor their redesignation as the Republic of Crimea and the Federal City of Sevastopol. It similarly does not recognize the annexation of the Ukrainian oblasts Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson
