Notes
- ↑ Composition of macro geographical (continental) regions, geographical sub-regions, and selected economic and other groupings
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Georgia and Turkey are classified as Asian countries by the United Nations Statistics Division [1]. However, they are often considered European countries, since their territories are either partly in Europe or in the vicinity of Europe (for the geographical boundaries between Asia and Europe, see here), and they have close political and historical ties with Europe (e.g., they are members of the Council of Europe).
- ↑ The British Indian Ocean Territory is sometimes considered an African territory, since it was historically part of Mauritius.
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands are sometimes considered Oceanian territories, since they are dependent territories of Australia.
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 This country is a city-state.
- ↑ Russia is generally considered a European country more than an Asian country, even though most of its territory is in Asia, since most of its population and also its capital are in Europe, and it has close political and historical ties with Europe. 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).
- ↑ South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands is sometimes considered a South American territory, since it is administered from the Falkland Islands.
