Spain and Portugal: Islands in the Atlantic + Spain has small pieces of land in Northern Africa
Italy and Greece: They have islands near Africa and Asia that the image counts
Turkey and Russia: Obvious, majority of their countries are on the Asia side of the Eurasia divide

What is Italy’s missing 1%? I don’t understand. Is Lampedusa considered in Africa for some arbitrary reason?

Russia, despite having only 23% of its territory in Europe, is still the biggest European country with that 23%

I do wonder where the 74% for the Netherlands comes from. My break down so far:
It says “actually in Europe” which I take to be within the European borders.
Then it says “country”. Let me quote wikipedia here: “The Netherlands…. is the largest of the four constituent countries” So The Netherlands is the country. The Netherlands consists of the twelve provinces and the Caribbean territories of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba. Now the numbers:
Mainland Europe Netherlands: 41.543 km²
Bonaire: 288 km²
Sint Eustatius: 21 km²
Saba: 13 km²
Total:41.865 km²
So then 99,2% is in mainland Europe.
Perhaps they used the whole Kingdom, which consists of four constituent countries. This adds:
Aruba: 180 km²
Curaçao: 444 km²
Sint Maarten (Dutch side) 34 km²
Which makes the total of the Kingdom of the Netherlands:
42.523 km²
So then 97,7% is in mainland Europe. Nowhere near 74%. Let”s try Surinam, the last country to gain independance in 1975?
Surinam: 163.820 km²
New total then: 206.343 km²
Which makes 1975 Kingdom of the Netherlands 20,1%.
I give up, no idea where the 74% came from. I say it is just horribly wrong. Should be 99% as well.

If you round the numbers, Russia is at 24% from 23,76%

Why Denmark controls Greenland out of all the powers of Europe why tiny little Denmark?

Yeah the size of Denmark is 2m km²+

Fun fact – 23% of Russia is in Europe, but Russia takes up about 40% of the area in Europe.

Fun fact. France’s longest border is with Brazil.

All of the country of Denmark is in Europe. Greenland is a country in the kingdom of Denmark. Two different countries and one kingdom. Is it that hard to get?

I’m certain a few of these are quite wrong. The UK has so many territories overseas and they have a slice of Antarctica. UK should be around 12%.

See the OOP is taking a harsh yet also unclear stance towards the physical boundaries of “Europe,” where Turkey is a European country but 97% not in Europe. Fascinating. What’s the 1% for Italy? Where does Russia’s European section end? The world may never know.

UK, Netherlands, Norway, France: overseas departments/territories (mostly islands)
Spain and Portugal: Islands in the Atlantic + Spain has small pieces of land in Northern Africa
Italy and Greece: They have islands near Africa and Asia that the image counts
Turkey and Russia: Obvious, majority of their countries are on the Asia side of the Eurasia divide
