Why is there this need to assign a country to a continent when it is not part of one? I think it would be more accurate to describe these as non-continental countries.

To Gerry928: Beats me! Especially when they are haphazardly and erroneously assigned to a continent or area. (e.g., Trinidad, the ABC islands, Barbados, Madagascar...)

I think it makes sense for Madagascar to be considered part of Africa but it doesn't really make sense for the Seychelles.

It probably would. There is no logical and non-arbitrary reason why Malta shouldn't be included.

They didn't do that when I was in school in the Dark Ages. Now some argue for geographic inclusion because of plates or whatever, while others argue for a different placement because of culture or politics. Don't worry, at some point it will all change again.

Seriously, why being so aggressive? They were just demonstrating their view about how important the islands of Equatorial Guinea are without even mention it should be the answer. Why bother?
