A transcontinental country is a nation that is in more than one continent. [1] Examples:
Africa and Asia
- Egypt (The Sinai Peninsula)
Asia and Europe
Most of the other examples are contentious, based on the possession of small islands in another region. For example, Spain controlling the Canary Islands which is geologically located in Africa. A few are undoubtedly intercontinental:
Asia and Australasia
- Indonesia, controlling large islands in Australasia (Oceania)
America and Oceania
- United States, because Hawaii is a state.
America, Oceania and Antarctica
- Chile, because Easter Island is a province and Chilean Antarctic is a territory.
