...er, yeah. Sorry. Anyhoo... resident Russo-American checking in to let everyone know that Russia is arguably the only continent that can be called "Eurasian." Parts of it are in Europe, parts are in Asia, and if you count all the wee little states that are nominally separated from the former USSR but still exist pretty much in Russia's perpetual shadow, it becomes even more spread out.

Maybe no one is paying attention to you because you're wrong. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasia]MaxMees said:
About the "Not a continent" part that is. There's no disputing that there is a Eurasian Tectonic Plate.
Oh good God. I referred to it as a continent. Oh blimey, that's embarrassing.MaxMees said:
Anyways, I'm not thinking in terms of plate tectonics so much as geopolitical boundaries. "Asian culture" and "European culture," inasmuch as those two regions can be said to have single defining cultures, are fairly distinct, and Russia--along with the states that broke from it with the collapse of the USSR--is arguably the only country that manages to bridge the cultural divide.
Geographically it's in Eurasia
Culturally Russia generally is more European than it is Asian though their deinetely is a mix culturally based on it's location

The eight continent.
The place that was originally Russia is all in Europe, most of Eastern (Asian) Russia was absorbed into it after the nation was established.
But, as-is, it is in both continents, but all of its administrative areas are in Europe, so I'd say it's Eurasian, but mostly European.
