Hmm, alright. So if Russia isn't there, where is Russia always considered to be?	Europe	53%

Of course, Siberia accounts for 57% of Russia's land. That would make it more Asian than European right?	No	53%
Historically, that city was owned by which European cultured empire(s)?	Rome \| Byzantium	53%
Turkey has a good argument to be considered European too, odd. Do you know what other country is considered European and Asian?	Russia	53%

I'm not asking if you think that's European or not, but I probably should. Is it European?	Yes	51%
The current president's name. (If you don't know, his name is Nicos Anastasiades. The point is that he has a Greek last name).	Nicos Anastasiades	50%
There is actually one other country in Europe (not including Russia) that is more east than Cyprus. Which country? Hint, it starts with a U!	Ukraine	50%
So now you decide. Is Cyprus in Europe or Asia... If you believe it is in Europe, type in Cyprus. (This is the majority of the population's opinion) If you believe it is in Asia, leave this question blank. (This is our overlord's opinion) If you believe it is in Africa, then get help.	Cyprus	42%
