Transcontinental Countries

I would challenge Cyprus. Geographically, I don't see how it lies in any continent other than Asia. Also, there are some omissions: Netherlands straddles S. America. Italy and Portugal straddle Africa. UK also straddles Africa (St Helena and, more controversially, the Chagos Archipelago). Denmark straddles N. America. France also straddles N. America.

Another vote for Denmark. Thanks.

How does Cyprus have territory in Africa?

why iceland?

I don't believe that Cyprus or the UK should be here.

Cyprus is in either Asia or Europe, depends on who you ask, but not in more than one. I would remove it from the quiz.

Following the caveats, UK should not be included either. The UK is purely located in Europe, with overseas territories in all other continents. These are territories, but not regions like France. For Asia, it would be Akrotiri and Dhekelia (on Cyprus), but also the BIOT.

Shouldn't Panama be switched with Colombia? Since the last bit of the isthmus in part of Colombia and the end of the isthmus is where you would draw the border between the continents.

Baffled by Trinidad & Tobago! And I'm not quite sure how both Georgia and Armenia can be transcontinental, as the one is basically entirely north of the other and the continental border runs east-west :-S

If we're being geological about it though, I wonder if also Iceland should be included. The western 10% or so (as I remember) is on a North American plate, the rest on a European one.

I would certainly add Norway to the list and I also don't think it would be outrageous to add Colombia and Japan.

If you're defining continents by tectonic plates, then North America should be included as one of Russia and Portugal's continents, and the Himalayan countries certainly straddle the line between the "continents" of Eurasia and India. Also, Arabia and East Africa should be considered their own continents by this logic. Tectonic Plate boundaries are not the generally accepted boundaries of continents, so I would not use them here. However, if you wanted to make a "countries on multiple plates" quiz, I'm sure it would be well-recieved

Iceland should be on here

Armenia is not transcontinental.

france is also in oceania

Hold up, if parts of Norway are in Antarctica, does that mean that people have been inhabiting Antarctica, the mission for the vast future, since 1814?

New Zealand (Ross Dependency) Ecuador (Galapagos) Mauritius (Diego Garcia Claim) Argentina (Argentine Antarctica) South Africa (Prince Edward Islands) ?
