      Well, it’s in Asia and Europe. Big country. If Siberia alone was a country, it would still be the biggest country in the world.

              Seriously? I thought you would at least be able to come up with a funny explanation to support your nonsensical statement.

              So if France conquered all of Africa? Africa wouldn’t be a continent anymore? Would we just continuously move the continental border?

              If the US conquered Australia, Australia would become part of North America?

              How about you slow down and think about this one for a few minutes.

              Yeah, I’ve stood in two different countries at the same time before. Haven’t you?

              Moscow is in Europe, as is Petersburg, as are something like 80% of the population. So if you want to be like that and say a country has to be entirely in one continent then Russia is in Europe.

          A country cannot be in/on two different continents.

          False. French Guyana in South America is considered a part of France. Not a territory or whatever, it’s in the EU as a part of the country. So yes, Brazil borders the EU, for example, and any number of other hilarious facts.

      Clarifying ocean and sea is rather arbitrary. I mean what makes the Indian Ocean different from the pacific ocean, or the north sea, or white sea, different than the atlantic?
