This group holds heads of state and government of the countries of Europe, split below into Northern, Western, Southern and Eastern European groups because Europe's own membership passed the site's oversized-group threshold on its own. A reader reaches every European head of state or government through one of those four child groups rather than through this parent group directly; this entry exists to carry the subcategory-level edge and the description of the region as a whole, covering constitutional monarchies, parliamentary republics, semi-presidential systems and the microstates of Andorra, San Marino, Monaco, Liechtenstein and Vatican City.

The list of geographic regions presents the composition of geographical regions used by the Statistics Division in its publications and databases. Each country or area is shown in one region only. These geographic regions are based on continental regions; which are further subdivided into sub-regions and intermediary regions drawn as to obtain greater homogeneity in sizes of population, demographic circumstances and accuracy of demographic statistics.
