If you google "Trinidad and Tobago continent" you get South America, and if you google "South America countries" Trinidad and Tobago is listed. Physically, it is located on the South America continental shelf as opposed to being part of the (Lesser) Antilles chain, which distinguishes it from the rest of the Caribbean islands which are considered to be part of North America. I will, however, note that JetPunk appears to classify it as North America, as can be observed in The Countries of the World Quiz.

Trinidad is South America, where Tobago is in North America. Similarly Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire are all South American islands. The convention is to lump all islands into North America, but that doesn't make it right.

Considering how on JetPunk we tend to use Wikipedia as a source and consistently state that where the largest and/or most important part of the country is located is determining the continent (Turkey - Asia, Egypt - Africa, but Russia / Europe). As Trinidad is the most important part it's an easy case to make to classify the country as South American.

It's probably one of those things that depends on who you ask and how you ask it. Status quo on this site and others like it is that it's part of North America. Other ways to frame it are geologically, politically, culturally, economically, etc. and each way probably has a nuanced answer. I could see CP Grey making a video on it like he did with "Holland vs the Netherlands" (https://youtu.be/eE_IUPInEuc) that includes Sint Maarten but not Saint Martin which occupy the same island.

Has anyone done a version of this quiz that includes only countries on the continental mainland? (I realize that excludes all Oceania countries except Australia.)

Seems that it would be interesting to see the five smallest continental African countries for instance, rather than just remember the island countries included in Africa that aren't Madagascar.

South America would (of course) change the least. But all the others would be totally different, except for Europe, which would only have one change.

but it's not? It's in the EU, the European Union, they use the Euro, a currency used in EUROPE, it doesn't make sense for them to be in Asia. And if you go by the logic that it is geographically in Asia, then Malta should be African.

It's really weird and picky about rules, Kosovo is a country despite being recognized by only handful of countries, so is Taiwan, but they don't recognize Palestine, Hong Kong, Macao, Greenland or Western Sahara, not to mention more obscure countries like Transnistria, Somaliland, Niue or Cook Islands.

When it comes to geography they're very picky too, Trinidad is considered NA despite geographically being in SA, but the same is not true for Cyprus which is in EU. Georgia, Armenia are never recognized as European countries despite partially being in there and considering themselves as Eastern European countries.
