40 European countries

<< < (2/3) > >>

EHM-1365 Benjamin:
I thought it was Asian :|

Sorry if I am wrong...39 then ;)

EHM-1670 Bill:
And did Macedonia last night so that's the 40. ;D

Europe sure has changed a lot since I went to school. The Eurovision Song Contest has a lot to answer for.

EHM-1077 Emanuele:
The number of countries in Europe is an issue that has been debated
various times. If you search through the forum's post you should find a
post with the correct 40 countries long list. Israel, by the way, is not
in Europe but in Asia. Turkey instead is mostly in Asia, but has a small
territory in what is considered considered european landmass.

Admittedly though, the situation in the balcans and former Yugoslavia
tends to be slightly confusing and EHM might not be up to date on
that... =)

Hope it helps.

In Bruno's list above is LL - Israel and LT - Turkey

Turkey politically and culturally is considered to be mainly in Asia Minor but has been an Associate Member of the EU since 1963 and has been trying for full membership since the 1980s.

However, it is still not considered an EU member.
