Big part of Europe is missing (Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Kavkaz...). But for some reason it includes asian part of Turkey, islands, part of south america... ;-)


The South America / islands and included because they are territories belonging to a EU country (France, Spain, Portugal). Turkey is in there because it's a candidate country.


Is it still? It's a human rights nightmare and I don't think the EU should have anything to do with Turkey while Erdogan is still in power.


It's still a candidate. It's moving backwards rather than forwards on its acceptance criteria, and realistically won't be joining anytime soon, but it's still a candidate.


It's not really a question anymore for the next few years (or decades). Official status is just a political tool by now and even then this classification may lag behind.


GP most likely knows and is just passive-aggressively complaining about the conflation of 'Europe' and 'EU' in the title.


It's EU data.


Title says Europe, not EU


The title is wrong, then :)
