Iceland is a continuous transcontinental country, and should be added to this list[edit]

Yes, I realize this a controversial statement, but this is objectively true. You can argue all day about how Iceland is “culturally European”, but ignoring the fact that this statement essentially implies that countries Israel, Turkmenistan, Sri Lanka, and North Korea share just as much in common as European nations, such an argument is irrelevant. The fact is Iceland is divided almost equally on the Northern American and Eurasian continental plates. If you don’t believe me, check out this map displaying exactly that here. Please rectify this issue at your earliest convenience. Thank you for understanding. EpicGamerWinXD69 (talk) 19:48, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I support your statement. Gabriel A. Álvarez N. (talk) 02:32, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add Yemen to the Asia and Africa section, as Socotra Island and its surrounding islands are considered part of Africa. Anhducsla (talk) 05:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I was only looking at the contiguous section Anhducsla (talk) 05:53, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Greece[edit]

Greece should be included. If a small piece of turkey is part of Europe. Greeces island Rhode (which is right to the small piece of turkey) is geographically part of Asia. Shouldn't this be included? Or am I just crazy? Emmanuelbruh (talk) 01:21, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greece already is included, under non-contiguous transcontinental countries in Asia and Europe: List_of_transcontinental_countries#Asia_and_Europe_2. AuH2ORepublican (talk) 12:17, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Emmanuelbruh (talk) 01:24, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was only looking and the Europe and Asia section. Emmanuelbruh (talk) 01:27, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Norway[edit]

The kingdom of Norway has terretories in@ Europe but also Bouvet Island which according to Un is a part of south America. You could also say Queen mauds land which is a Norwegian claim in Antarctica. 82.146.95.182 (talk) 15:17, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bouvetøya is usually grouped with Antarctica, abd is closer to that continent than to South America or Africa. Norway's status as a non-contiguous transcontinental country is discussed in the following section of the article: List_of_transcontinental_countries#Sub-Antarctic_region. AuH2ORepublican (talk) 00:06, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Antarctic claim noted on header only for France and UK[edit]

Why is that? I can see that there's a separate section for Antarctica, so I don't see why these two are special cases. 190.161.43.27 (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
