Yes, Papua New Guinea is also connected to Indonesia, but they are a part of Oceania and not Asia. The confusion is easy for people who havent learnt this.
At this point I think it just comes down to convention. Changing it would require resetting hundreds of quizzes at this point and people would continue to argue and complain about it. As annoying as that is, it's not worth it
I think Russia should be considered Asia just like Turkey is. It makes no sense a country which is only about of its territory 20% located in Europe be considered exclusively part of that continent...
Trinidad and Tobago is closer to South America than North America, but considered North American... The proximity debate kinda falls flat in this instance.
the one thing i think you should change is either add russia or take away cyprus.. i didn't get cyprus because i assumed that since you counted russia as part of europe you would count cyprus as part of europe too...
Why is Turkey and Cyprus allowed, but not Russia? I know it is thought of as a Europian country, but Turkey and Cyprus were as well. I am just saying that if you add these countries, I would suggest adding Russia as well. Or remove Turkey and Cyprus. This is not a complaint, I am just giving advice on which you do not have to take. :)
I’m assuming that it wasn’t included due to 1. Moscow being in Europe rather than in Asia, as Ankara and Nicosia are (at least on JetPunk) and 2. most of the Russian population being in Europe, as the two largest cities by far in Russia (St. Petersburg and Moscow) are both in Europe. On the other hand, Turkey’s two largest cities (Istanbul and Ankara) are both at least partly situated on the Asian continent and Cyprus’ largest cities (Nicosia and Limassol) are both on Asia as well.
The thirty-one most populated cities in Turkey are all in Asia (I just checked) and the vast majority of both population and land of Turkey are in Asia, so I would say that totally justifies Turkey being Asian.
It's the Siachen glacier. No country wanted it till 1983. But then India and Pakistan fought for it. Currently India holds it. Idk why most maps leave it out of India.
Over 3/4 of Russia’s population is Russian, which is defined as “ an East Slavic ethnic group native to Eastern Europe, who share a common Russian ancestry, culture, and history”.
Russia is East Slavic; the countries that are majority East Slavic or have large populations are: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia.
None of those are Asian.
They originate from the Kievan Rus state. Which was in Europe.
Asian culture is either Middle Eastern or Eastern Asian. Saying that Russia is, for the most part, like Iraq or South Korea is extremely false and shows that you know NOTHING about Russia.
Rule of thumb for jetpunk-quizzes: the country belongs to the continent, where the country`s capital is located. As far as I can see, this rule always works.
Madagascar is nowhere close to Asia, but if your argument is that Madagascar was settled by people from what is now Indonesia, then Australia, all of South America, and all of North America would be part of Europe since most people in those countries have some European heritage.
If Cyprus is in Asia, Trinidad and Tobago is in South America. But Cyprus should be considered in Europe, just as Trinidad and Tobago is considered part of North America.
Taiwan is just a province of China, I just don't understand why it's a country in so many of those quizzes. What's going on with these quiz makers??? This is such an obvious mistake!!!
So technically Cyprus is Asian

2nd time : Forgot Kuwait

• Egypt has land in Asia, also Madagascar
• No information about the fact that Palestine isnt writable
• Why is there Turkeyy but no Russia? Turkey also has European land (Constantinople)
2. Constantinople is now called Istanbul (it was renamed about 100 years ago, and isn’t the capital of Turkey.
3. The capital of Egypt isn’t in Asia, though the Sinai Peninsula is, while Madagascar has no Asian land.
If Cyprus is in Asia, Trinidad and Tobago is in South America. But Cyprus should be considered in Europe, just as Trinidad and Tobago is considered part of North America.
Oh, ok. Not including THE BIGGEST COUNTRY in Asia.
Second Cyprus is a European Country not an Asian one
But alright quiz
