Transcontinental Countries

Some nations just cant decide with what continent to associate themselves - can you name the modern-day contiguous countries that share territory in more than one continent?
This quiz uses continents as defined in the English-speaking world; Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Australia
This quiz accounts for contiguous countries only - sorry Western Europe

No one regards Kazakhstan as being a part of Europe, also Panama is just apart of North America

No, of course they don't, it's considered one of the Central Asian countries (aka "the Stans"). But the Urals run through Kazakhstan and thus part of the country is technically, geologically, in Europe. The fact that practically no-one lives in the European bit of Kazakhstan shall not matter. :)

Papua New Guinea because the island of New Guinea is seprated into territory of Indonesia, considered to be in Asia, and the country of Papua New Guinea, considered to be in Australia

Geologically, ecologically, and culturally, the whole of New Guinea belongs in the Australian continent more so than it does in Asia. This makes Indonesia the cross-continental country. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_(continent)

That makes more sense. Different sites tell different things, it all depends on perspective - theres so much speculation regarding the official boundaries between Asia and Australia, Australia especially as certain countries use the wider definitions of Oceania, Australasia etc... Regardless, New Guinea is now rectified

Kazakstan by culture is not european, but it's borders fall to the East of the Caspian Sea and to the east of the Ural Mountains, and so is considered to be partly within the wider geographic context of Europe
