List of countries by continent

From Wikipedia

This is a list of the countries of the world by continent, displayed with their respective national flags and capitals. The list contains:

  • Sovereign states (country names in bold), consisting of:
    • The member states of the United Nations (UN).
    • A UN-recognized non-member state: Vatican City.
    • A state not recognized by the UN and most of its members, but currently with de facto international relations with most countries: the Republic of China.
  • Two territories de facto not independent but recognized by many countries as sovereign (country names in bold italics): the Palestinian territories and Western Sahara.
  • Dependent territories, including the overseas departments of France and the special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China (country names in italics).

However, this list does not contain de facto independent states that are generally unrecognized.

For a detailed discussion of how the world is divided into continents, see the article Continent.

In this list, countries are classified according to the United Nations Statistics Division [1]. Some countries are considered transcontinental, using either purely geographical or political and historical criteria. For other proposed divisions of countries into continents, see the section Other definitions of continents.

[edit] Other definitions of continents

This section lists the proposed divisions of countries into continents that differ from the UN definition as stated above.

[edit] Political divisions

This section lists countries that can be classified into another continent using political and historical criteria.

[edit] Politically European countries

Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Georgia and Turkey are often considered European countries since they have close political and historical ties with Europe (e.g., they are members of the Council of Europe), and their territories are either partly in Europe or in the vicinity of Europe, depending on the definition of the geographical boundaries between Europe and Asia.

Israel may be considered a European country since it has closer political ties with Europe than with Asia, but this is very rare since the political ties are not particularly close, and its territory is in mainland Asia.

The overseas departments of France, i.e., French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Réunion, are sometimes considered European territories since they are integral parts of France and also parts of the European Union.

Note that Russia is generally considered a European country more than an Asian country, since most of its population and its capital city are in Europe, and it has close political and historical ties with Europe, even though most of its territory is in Asia. Among the federal districts of Russia, four are in Europe (Central, Southern, Northwestern and Volga), while three are in Asia (Far Eastern, Siberian and Urals).

[edit] Miscellaneous

The following countries are sometimes considered parts of another continent since they have close political or historical ties with another country in that continent, and their territories are in the vicinity of that continent:

  • British Indian Ocean Territory: Africa (instead of Asia, since it was historically part of Mauritius).
  • Christmas Island: Oceania (instead of Asia, since it is a dependent territory of Australia).
  • Cocos (Keeling) Islands: Oceania (instead of Asia, since it is a dependent territory of Australia).
  • Greenland: Europe (instead of North America, since it is a dependent territory of Denmark).
  • South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands: South America (instead of sub-Antarctic territory, since it is administered from the Falkland Islands).

This section lists the divisions of countries into continents using purely geographical criteria.

  • Russia: Europe, west of these waterways; to the east, Asia.
