Countries that span two continents

  1. France, The Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Italy are all on other continents as well and this is just from the top of my head.

    [edit] Immediate downvote. Care to explain what’s wrong with what I said?

  2. Fun fact: There are more Turks in just the European portion of turkey, than there are Lithuanians, Albanians, Estonians, Montenegrins, and Andorrans combined

  3. Panama seems to be a bit of a stretch. It seems to me South America clearly starts at Colombia, not a little finger jutting into Panama.

    Also not sure why Europe is a continent in the first place. It’s basically Western Asia. We have Central Asia, South Asia, south east Asia etc…

    Tectonically speaking there’s no basis to demarcate Europe as a continent, it’s a region.

    I think that Northern Italy might be slightly European also. People there also look…almost European.

    I don’t think Panama considers itself a two continent country cause they don’t think they might not think the Americas are split, but also, even the people who split the Americas don’t split them at the Panama Canal.

  7. This also kind of depends on us all continuing to accept the absolutely nonsense argument that Europe and Asia are distinct continents.

  8. This is so random. The only ones clearly on two continents with visual lines/borders are Türkiye and Egypt.

    France has quite some islands, some of them are even technically Antarctic; also, there are those in Africa, then French Guyana in S-America, etc.
