These countries are the closest to the Europe/Asia border, which, although constantly debated, is considered the Ural and Caucasus Mountain ranges. Can you determine these countries?
Crimea, an area currently being disputed over Ukraine and Russia, will not count as area of either two countries
On the thumbnail shown, the red line shows the Europe/Asia border this quiz uses
JetPunk considered answers are countries that some consider Europe while others consider Asia
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.
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)_/¯
