Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, therefore, are all considered part of Europe. Turkey is separate from that logic as it stretches further still south into the Middle East which is definitively part of the Asian continent still with me?!
Firstly we have to decide what is a country, so to refresh your memory about the definition of what constitutes a country click here. Northern Cyprus, officially the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, is only recognised by 1 country on the planet. Despite independence being declared in the same year I was born, On paper, officially, North Cyprus is still part of Cyprus proper.
Independence was declared here back in It is recognised by 3 states that are not members of the UN and they are the 3 below. Independence was declared in , no country within the UN recognises it as a country. Officially belongs to Moldova.
Officially it is still part of Georgia. South Ossetia, Transnistria and Nagorno-Karabakh non-member states also recognise it. Ok, so on a cultural level we can look at England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Island the 4 places that make up the UK as being individual countries.
Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales all have some form of legislature but the country is still known as the UK, and the UK parliament in England is the overarching powerhouse. The 4 places make up the country called the United Kingdom. They all carry British passports, all use British pound sterling, all are answerable to the British government, pay British taxes and fly under the official flag of the Union Jack.
Sorry if it upsets anyone! If you use a softer definition of the word, perhaps you could argue otherwise. But if you look closely they actually belong to other states, They are known as Dependencies. Here is a list of the dependencies in Europe. To learn about my epic travel Greenland trip, check out my post about my trip there.
THE most underrated destination in Europe. You really must visit Faroe Islands as soon as possible. Check my blog post. This place is like Iceland. First, no-one went there. The Faroe Islands will be next! This is the second coolest island in the world. The coolest, in my opinion, is Socotra, Yemen. And another great destination where you can see polar bears in the wild, check out my last trip to Svalbard.
Yes, there are 49 countries in Europe. So 49 countries it is. Or the opposite, and do the 49 countries minus the 3 Caucasus countries Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan giving you 46 countries in Europe. Over to you guys. Do you agree with my number?
There are a total of 44 countries in Europe. This does not include transcontinental countries that have territory in both Europe and Asia, but in which the majority of their populations live in Asia rather than Europe. The region of Western Europe consists of 9 countries. The total population of the region is just over million. Germany is the most populous country of Western Europe, with a population of more than 83 million, while the small principality of Liechtenstein has just over 38, people living within its borders.
Western Europe forms the core of the political and economic alliance known as the European Union. Eastern Europe consists of 10 countries, and has a total population of about million. The most populous country in Eastern Europe is Russia, which boasts approximately million residents, making it the most populous country in all of Europe.
