Northeast Asia

The region's principal industrial, alliance, technology, and military-policy centers.

The directory separates sovereign states, special administrative regions, and Taiwan as distinct coverage markets without using that presentation to adjudicate political status.

11 listings

Southeast Asia

Eleven national profiles spanning maritime disputes, continental corridors, and ASEAN-centered diplomacy.

Every Southeast Asian country has a first-class place in the directory; coverage should not reduce the region to only its largest economies or disputed waters.

South Asia

Continental rivalries, Indian Ocean access, demographic scale, and the politics of regional connectivity.

Afghanistan is included in the broad South Asia directory; IndoPac prioritizes it when developments materially affect wider Asia-Pacific coverage.

24 listings

Pacific Islands

Sovereign states, associated states, and territories across Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.

Entries retain their distinct constitutional labels. The directory centers local governance, mobility, climate, fisheries, and development priorities alongside external competition.

Australia & New Zealand

Two national profiles linking alliance strategy, Pacific policy, trade, and domestic political choices.

Australia and New Zealand receive separate national coverage while their Pacific relationships are also included in the Pacific Islands coverage group.

Indian Ocean

A cross-regional corridor joining island states, littoral markets, ports, energy routes, and strategic access.

This is intentionally a cross-listed coverage group rather than a claim that every littoral state belongs to one political region. It emphasizes markets most relevant to Asia-Pacific maritime coverage.

How this directory works

Navigation, not a political claim

These labels do not settle sovereignty, recognition, constitutional status, or disputed borders.

  1. 01

    These groups organize reporting. They are not legal definitions or sovereignty claims.

  2. 02

    Status labels remain distinct, and contested claims are attributed.

  3. 03

    Cross-listing reflects geographic, economic, shipping, or security ties—not political membership.
