Country Calling

Which Continent Is It In?

One question shape, twenty times: a country, four continents, pick. The bank is stacked with the countries people misplace, so a clean sheet here means your mental map has good edges.

Continents end in decisions, not coastlines

In the middle of a landmass the continent is obvious; at the edges, someone had to rule. This site rules the standard way and admits it: Russia counts as Europe, Turkey as Asia, Egypt as Africa. Each of the three holds territory on a second continent, and a differently minded quiz could defensibly rule otherwise. What matters for your score is that the ruling never wobbles – the same country gets the same continent on every page here.

Three rules settle most of the bank

First: the Caribbean and Central America belong to North America, which places Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Panama and Costa Rica in the same column as Canada. Second: the island states of the western Pacific belong to Oceania, which places Papua New Guinea. Third: the Caucasus and Cyprus file under Asia, so Armenia and Azerbaijan answer Asia here whatever their cultural and sporting ties to Europe suggest. Learn those three rules and the remaining questions are plain reading of the map.

The review is a map of your soft edges

A miss shows the right continent at once, and the closing screen lines up every country you misplaced. That list is the real product of a which continent quiz: not the percentage but the specific places where your geography goes soft. Replay the round and the same twenty arrive in a different order with the options reshuffled under the letters, so there is nothing to lean on except whether the country actually moved in your head.
