Ukraine should be just "Europe", not "JetPunk considered Europe", because isn't controversial issue.

Why does it say "JetPunk considered Asia" for countries no one in the world considers anything but Asia? Asia and Europe are purely geographical terms and no one debates it. Being European has nothing to do with being a member of the EU or any other economic treaty.

Turkey is Asia and Europe,

Russia is Asia and Europe,

Kazakhstan is Asia,

Azerbaijan is Asia,

Cyprus is Asia,

Georgia is Asia,

Armenia is Asia,

Ukraine is Europe.

Because people do debate it. Lol. It's not like God mandated specific features will forever be the universal boundary between Europe and Asia. Read this if you want more details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe#Definition

About these countries:

* Turkey and Russia are commonly accepted to be in both. However, when every country is assigned exactly one, Turkey is usually put in Asia and Russia is usually put in Europe, for population/cultural reasons. Jetpunk generally excludes Turkey on quizzes about Europe.

* Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Georgia all cross the most commonly used placement of the boundary today. They probably have land in your definition of Europe (albeit relatively little % of each).

* Armenia is sometimes thought of as European for cultural/political reasons.

* Read some more Jetpunk comments if you think no one debates where Cyprus is ;)

Ukraine actually has me stumped. I've never heard anyone claim it's in Asia, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
