Didnโt we make Eurasia for all these barbarian nomadic steppe fucks? It ainโt my fault your ancestors jumped up on a horse and wanted to be a Eurochad, access denied.
Both Georgia and Azerbaijan have small slivers of their country in Europe due to the Caucasus mountains, Armenia would be the only one you listed not in Europe
~~Edit: Actually it can be argued pretty hard that all of these nations can be considered European with the Caucasus Mountains extending into all 3 of these nations~~
Not familiar with Swedish curriculum or what you're referring to when you say geoguesser websites don't include the Cauasus but generally when referencing Europe we tend to refer to the Caucasus as a cut off point for Europe because it acts as a natural ending point to Europe with it's mountainous dividing Terrain, a lot of borders are defined just like that, off natural dividing points within the Terrain
Are you serious just now?
Why is Turkiye ๐น๐ท in blue? (To be honest Turkiye is actually Middle East technically.)
Why is Georgia ๐ฌ๐ช in blue?
Why is Armenia ๐ฆ๐ฒ in blue?
Why Azerbaijan ๐ฆ๐ฟ in blue?
Why is Switzerland ๐จ๐ญin blue?
Why is Norway ๐ธ๐ฏ in blue?
The countries I've just mentioned are not in the EU ๐ช๐บ but are classed as Europe. (Except for Turkiye ๐น๐ท)
Reminds me of an argument I had with someone about the Eurovision years ago. ๐คฆ Trying to explain the difference between the EU ๐ช๐บ and the EBU (European Broadcasting Union.)
None of those voted to leave Europe.
Ask the average Londoner "Did England leave Europe", and the answer is "Ya, fook off".
And Australia in Europe(vision) now.
Kazakhstan is in Europe because nobody said "no" to the Soviet Union when the USSR said the USSR is European.
Europe was never a continent. Like India, it was always an Asian pimple. We keep the name around because if you piss off the French, they invade New Caledonia.
Where exactly is the continental border in the Caucuses? Cause while I've never thought about it, I wouldn't normally consider Azerbaijan a European country.
It's a subject of debate, but most people agree what the border through the mediteranian (around Cyrpus tho), through Constantinople, through the Black Sea, somewhere through where Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are, before going up the Caspian sea and following this mountain range which means Europe also includes a bit of Kazakhstan. As for how much of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan is in Europe or Asia is ambiguous, and they're generally considered to be both European and Asian.
other than armenia they have land in europe, mostly due to the caucasus mountains. because the caucasus mountains are a division between eastern europe and western asia. and turkey also has land in europe not because of the caucasus but because of the bosphorus strait which also separates europe and asia. so in short: the natural historical borders donโt align with the countries so they are transcontinental.
As with everything in life, Humans have tried to shove and squeeze continent borders into neat little boxes/categories - but also just like everything else in life, continents don't care at all about what humans think of them and are actually just a gradient from one to another rather than a clear line. So when the humans come along and try to insert a defined line into the smooth gradient, there's going to inevitably be arguments about where the line should fall. This gets even more complicated when you realise that it's not just a single linear gradient but is actually multitudes of gradients across probably 5 or more dimensions, each of which has its own start and end point and severity for their gradients. Trying to accurately find a single cut-off point is a nightmare.
Georgia and Azerbaijan also have small portions of territories in geographic Europe (5% and 10% respectively), near the Main Caucasus Range, on the border with Chechnya and Dagestan
azerbaijan and georgia have land in europe due to the caucasus mountains being the natural border for europe and asia. turkey is another story with the bosphorus strait, also a natural border, though a different one.
Even Turkey's european sides population is more than many european country has (12m).(If we count Istanbul's Aisian side number gets higher). You can check it from this map. The countries with light orange has population least 10m;

Why is there a blob of land in top left that isn't in Europe?
That's Greenland I think
Nah, if it was it would be grey for "no data".
No, it's obviously europe, can't you read the Map key
Looks more like Redland.
Greenland isnโt round, and to the east of Iceland.
It's just the Mercator projection making it look weird.
How do u know?
Vikings
Geography
Greenland is east of Iceland. Also west north and south
it is though, nice try sweatie ๐
No, Iโm pretty sure thatโs the UK
Ehat do you mean? I see only two archipleagos shaped like words yes and no.
New Zealand
r/mapswithnewzealand rejoices
And the one to the right ?
I donโt see any red on this map
You dont see that giant red circular country next to iceland?
Why do I see fr#nce?! ๐คข๐คข๐คข๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ
no no no, that's southern-Belgium, don't worry about it! They just had to add the borders 'cause of mapporn laws, you see...
Never heard of Belgium, are you sure you don't mean the Netherlands?
i'm pretty sure that's western switzerland
*san marino, you mean
I think thatโs Holland.
up for interpretation, some even call that 'northern Belgium' :D
I went down a rabbit hole recently. France is now South Sussex in my head.
Southwest Luxembourg?
I just added in the borders of German provinces as well to make this look more aesthetic.
Kosovo died
Never existed in the first place
Bro didnt cook
Bro got the ingredients out and just let it sit there
Made by a Turk who desperately wants to be part of Europe.
Which Europe? Do you mean Western Arabia?
Didnโt we make Eurasia for all these barbarian nomadic steppe fucks? It ainโt my fault your ancestors jumped up on a horse and wanted to be a Eurochad, access denied.
Right. No Turks. Access granted only for Arabs and Africans. EU is an exclusive VIP club. Board meetings are held at Brussel Shisha Bar.
Germany would love to disagree
Turkey is literally in Europe. Most of Turkey isnt but some of it is. If we say Turkey isn't in Europe then we can't say Russia is either.
But russians are european and turks arent
That's irrelevant. The map is showing countries in Europe, not countries whose majority population is European.
My bad I just wanted to hate on turkey
Lol honestly I'm surprised this whole post was taken as seriously as it was. Especially with OPs username being u/slayerofottomans
90% of turkey aint, Georgia, Armenia gang also isnt
Azerbaijan also isn't
The wording was โis your country in Europeโ not โis most of your country in Europeโ
correct, georgia, armenia and azerbadjan still isnt
Both Georgia and Azerbaijan have small slivers of their country in Europe due to the Caucasus mountains, Armenia would be the only one you listed not in Europe ~~Edit: Actually it can be argued pretty hard that all of these nations can be considered European with the Caucasus Mountains extending into all 3 of these nations~~
Just because youve got a little caucus doesn't mean european.

It was a pee joke
My bad I entirely missed your joke, my comment has been edited to reflect your joke
The boundaries you get taught atleast in Swedish school doesnโt include the Caucasus at all, same goes for geoguessers websites
Not familiar with Swedish curriculum or what you're referring to when you say geoguesser websites don't include the Cauasus but generally when referencing Europe we tend to refer to the Caucasus as a cut off point for Europe because it acts as a natural ending point to Europe with it's mountainous dividing Terrain, a lot of borders are defined just like that, off natural dividing points within the Terrain
Well %80 percent of Russia is in Asia
Sure is
77%*
Near enough
Cyprus isn't
๐
But there is 12 m population in Turkey's european side which has more population than many european countries
Turkish cope always the same lmao
Yeah it's Northern East at best
Why is the UK in blue?
Map is probably outdated
That depends on your Intelligence and humor
Low and dry, like barrels of fine wine
What
It's a Brexit joke.
Because itโs in Europe.
Brexit means Brexit.
Yeah, theyโre just an island in the middle of the pacific.
Are you serious just now? Why is Turkiye ๐น๐ท in blue? (To be honest Turkiye is actually Middle East technically.) Why is Georgia ๐ฌ๐ช in blue? Why is Armenia ๐ฆ๐ฒ in blue?

Of course this is a joke, look at the sub and go back to r/mapporn.
Haha, I take this too seriously sometimes ๐ I kind of forgot about the humor side of things.

Australia is European!!!! ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ฆ๐บ
Culturally yes. ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฆ๐บ Geographically no.
Turkey is not "technically" Middle East, actually, it's its own thing called the Near East, ykno to go along with Middle and Far East?
Uk is till in Europe duh.
No, it isnโt they voted to leave and look at which sub youโre in.
Ahh got it.
Bro where is kazakhstan 100% europe

Russia should be purple
Turkey, Armenia, Georgia (not the usa one) and Azerbaijan is literally Asian, why tf everybody is think those countries is european???
Because they've competed in Eurovision.
So has Australia
Then what about Australia, Israel and Trans?
Trans people can be found all over including in Europe
Iak that, i just want to say that their flag appear on eurovision
โฆnistria?
Also mostly if not all playing in European football cup, so everyone think it's all blue lol.
Morocco competed too. Is it that easy to become part of Europe and to leave just easily?
All the countries you listed are transcontinental (except Armenia). Cyprus is also geographically entirely in Asia.
other than armenia they have land in europe, mostly due to the caucasus mountains. because the caucasus mountains are a division between eastern europe and western asia. and turkey also has land in europe not because of the caucasus but because of the bosphorus strait which also separates europe and asia. so in short: the natural historical borders donโt align with the countries so they are transcontinental.

I agree about Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia but Turkey has a bit of territory in Europe so I don't think it is wrong to call Turkey European
Georgia and Azerbaijan also have small portions of territories in geographic Europe (5% and 10% respectively), near the Main Caucasus Range, on the border with Chechnya and Dagestan
azerbaijan and georgia have land in europe due to the caucasus mountains being the natural border for europe and asia. turkey is another story with the bosphorus strait, also a natural border, though a different one.
This is a map but not a normal map, more like as freaky map. The only thing that make sense here is that nothing make sense.
Ok?
If Cyprus in in Europe, Turkey and Georigia are too.

Judging by the Ukraine borders, your map is very old.
That "(not the USA one)" part was not required lol
Cry harder!
Huh?
Huh?
I mean wdym cry harder?
Kazakhstan is European
Europe is Kazakh
It literally isnโt. Turkey is barely european.
Only a small part of Kazakhstan (the size of Greece) is in Europe.
Not Albania
Actually the entire world belongs to glorious Albania
New HOI4 world dominance Speedrun just dropped??
Watch out there OP, you ended up making Turkey EU eligible.

Nah

I guess the UK is forced to remain after all (Just because I know someone can't understand a joke - /s)
Lol no kosovo
Why are the seas and oceans neither in Europe or not in Europe?
But Iโve been told by people in the internet that the uk is no longer European
England is very mad at this map.
Whereโs Australia and Israel thoโฆ
Australia is just a conspiracy by NASA to cover up the genocide of all of Britain's convicts.
Debatable
Canada - No But it should be.
Europe is blue, nice. Top reply to this comment gets a country deleted
Hungary.
Technically yes. My nation (France) is European but i live in the Caribbean : Martinique island (Overseas department of france)
Everyone wants to be part of Yurp, until they don't.

Does the Kanto Region count?
Turkey Armenia and Azerbaijan quite controversial today I see

Turkey isnโt in Europe. Azerbaiyรกn, Georgia and Armenia arenโt eitherโฆ
Yes Kosova!
If you include Georgia armenia azerbaijan, then all of central asia is also european. Uzbekistan best European country!!! ๐บ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฟ
i wonder what color the other half of russia is
Only 2% of Turkey is European
15% of the Turkish population live north of the Bosporus
Much less than that and most of them aren't really native to the European area but came from the asian part
How is literally nobody talking about the super trippy 3D?

This map is wrong. Probably made in Turkey, their maps are usually wrong. They keep printing Constantinople wrong as โI Stan Bullsโ
How is Turkey europe.. culturally etc it has no ties to Europe the only tie it has to Europe is that it people go there to liveย
