But seriously. Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are so not European. I refuse that. They are near Europe, yes, but not IN it. Good grief.
I got all other countries right apart from those. :( So I'm reasonably frustrated.

Ok I've just created an account because I had to comment on some of the mistaken ideas of what the U.K. is. I live in Scotland, and can tell you that both England and Scotland are countries, Wales is a principality and Northern Ireland is a province (strictly speaking). The United Kingdom is a country which `unites` these territories together. Think of the USSR - it was a country, but it included countries like Ukraine for 50+ years.
Russia and Turkey are/were both European powers, and so they are generally considered European. Georgia is often considered European because of its Black Sea coastline and its links with Russia. Armenia and Azerbaijan are definitely Asian, but used to be part of the Soviet Union so the lines are blurred somewhat.
I also saw that someone said Cyprus isn`t European? It definitely is!
And lastly, no BS, I got 49/49, with 2:16 to spare. I suppose this is because I`m European and study Geography at uni.
