I should add also that Belgium isn't a real country either so there's no real target for any mocking here

Reminds me of the time my mate in uni reckoned he could name all the countries in Asia on the sporcle quiz and he got stuck on the last one which turned out to be Palestine and he went off on one about how it isn't a country

Geography would also suggest it's European

Nah, I know Europe's borders are ambiguous but no way is Palestine in Europe under anyone's definition

IMO the borders of Europe end at the edge of Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan, at most
My point being that Israel is "European"

But it's all subjective obviously since it is not officially defined, this is the same pointless question I was asked by teachers/lecturers when I did history at both sixth form college and university

There's no right answer

We had Russia up to the Ural Mountains as part of Europe on geography.

It's entirely subjective, there's no official definition. Where is the southern border? Does it end at Russia or continue into Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan? Should all of Turkey be included? Up to the Bosphorus straits? Or none of Turkey at all? Is Europe a geographical or cultural definition?
