Actually......the country Georgia is in Asia!!!

and in Europe too. It's transcontinental. But it considers itself European (being part of the Counsil of Europe and competing in the Eurovison Songcontest). So you and BB share the prize, okay?

I just consulted Wikipedia and I stand corrected regarding their listing of Georgia. However, viewing the country of Georgia on a map and considering it's past links with the USSR, it appears well within the boundaries of the continent of Asia. And, most articles related to Georgia reference it as Asia. (please see links)

you're right. Most of the country is in Asia, just a very small part is in Europe. And we could argue about how to define a continent (which I don't know enough about, so let's not...). But as far as I know, Georgia wants to be seen as a European country.

Where are the people of Georgia when you need them to give some clarity......

I'm not wanting to be argumentative, but can you define the area that's considered European??? I'm interested.

As to continents, there are, as you already know, seven. Some are more defined than others and some are join with a geographical boundary line such as Europe and Asia.

Here's a thought, is Central America part of North or South America???? I honestly do not know without looking it up. My GUESS is North America ending at Panama.

I'm no expert on this, by no means. But what I read is that the border between Europe and Asia is not so clearcut everywhere (cultural, political and geological factors can play a rol).
As to Georgia, since I grew up hearing it's more European, I had to look it up when you mentioned Asia. It seems that just a few provinces (called Khevsureti and Khevi) are European. I must admit, I don't know why these are European, I guess it's historical. But I guess that me thinking it's European has more to do with the country's attempts to become (politically) part of Europe.

as far as seven continents: yes that's what I've learned too, but it's up for debate.

Without investigation, I am sure those Georgian provinces you mentioned have recently favored European status. And yes, the geographical line of borders have faded over the years.....along with renaming countries. My map education is somewhat dated as well.

Six or Seven or even Four......first I'm hearing of this. Ah, changes for the sake of change. Most changes are for political reasons rather than conquests.

(Not a bad idea. I've enjoyed the discussion)
