Asia encompasses a much larger landmass than ASEAN does. ASEAN stands for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Therefore, these are countries in southeast Asia, not all the countries in Asia.
The tropical climate of Southeast Asia is characterized by high temperatures and significant rainfall, leading to lush vegetation and diverse ecosystems.
