What makes Israel culturally European? Its entire existence is predicated on safeguarding its own Jewish culture- an ancient Middle Eastern one- that pre-dates most European civilisation. It's also not exactly a bastion of liberalism or secular governance. Plus, and I hate to state the obvious, it is quite literally part of the Asian landmass, so unlike Cyrpus there's not much of a geographic debate.

"Pre-dates most European civilisation". Are you going with the old civilization-barbarism dichotomy? Cause otherwise, in the modern sense of the word "civilization", that statement is incorrect. As a cornish person, you should know: one of those civilizations was you celtic ancestors'.

I bet Israel should also be considered European according to your theory I guess? (Mostly) European culture (their primary culture is European Jewish - they discriminate Arabic and African jews) and part of Eurovision. Also why don't we make Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morrocco Asian/Middle Eastern then? They are culturally Arabic. That culture argument basically makes no sense at all don't bring it here plz

With this argument, you could argue that Georgia and Armenia are also in Europe, as they are both culturally very European. And Georgia is actually partially in Europe. Yet, you see very few people arguing these two in Europe.

@Nerd0921 Cyprus is only debated because of its state as an island; countries part of mainland Afroeurasia are not contested (with the possible exceptions of Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey), so the Israel point is irrelevant. If you want to bring up such a debate then bring up how most of Indonesia should be considered Oceania, and how Iceland is closer to North America (Greenland) than to Europe.

For some reason I can't quite fathom... JetPunk quizzes decide to incorporate Cyprus into Asia and not Europe, when Trinidad and Tobago is much closer to South America (than Cyprus is to another Asian country) but is still clearly viewed as North America (which I do agree with), as otherwise it would appear as South America's smallest country in this quiz. At least have some consistency...

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.
