Five Smallest Countries by Continent

And Lebanon (10,452 km²) too, but with Cyprus it won't fit the list. The quiz could also do with a bit less time, now there's plenty of time to type in random countries.

And Cyprus is also in Europe... It's closer to Asian countries physically, but closer to European countries culturally.

Don't you dare start this.

Oh DO go on! I've never heard such an argument!

But it's bigger than Malta...

It should be included in South America, and should be #1 on the list at 5,131 square km.

I'm pretty sure not a lot of people recognize Trinidad and Tobago as South American

If you google "Trinidad and Tobago continent" you get South America, and if you google "South America countries" Trinidad and Tobago is listed. Physically, it is located on the South America continental shelf as opposed to being part of the (Lesser) Antilles chain, which distinguishes it from the rest of the Caribbean islands which are considered to be part of North America. I will, however, note that JetPunk appears to classify it as North America, as can be observed in The Countries of the World Quiz.

Trinidad & Tobago should be considered in North America, and it does in all the quizzes here.

Trinidad is South America, where Tobago is in North America. Similarly Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire are all South American islands. The convention is to lump all islands into North America, but that doesn't make it right. Considering how on JetPunk we tend to use Wikipedia as a source and consistently state that where the largest and/or most important part of the country is located is determining the continent (Turkey - Asia, Egypt - Africa, but Russia / Europe). As Trinidad is the most important part it's an easy case to make to classify the country as South American.

Oh good. An argument over what continent a small island belongs to and it's not Cyprus.

At least it’s new.

they are much bigger than the 5 island countries in Africa.

Geologically, Malta is in Africa. But all quizzes count it as European. So don't hope for too much consistency.

Cyprus is part of Mars, case closed, now shut up.

did not know that malta was smaller than Andorra and that cyprus was smaller than qatar or kuwait

So? So is Liechtenstein.

I didn’t know that cyprus is smaller than east timor

5th smallest country in South America is bigger than 5th biggest country in Europe :)

GREAT!

East Timor?

Cool Quiz

East Timor is generally considered to be part of Asia, thus it should be on the list in place of Cyprus. Nice quiz.

467 sq/km

South America's 2nd smallest country has won 2 World Cups.

That's why they play the games.
