Continents is not an allowed 'area', sorry.

From the rules:
NOT ALLOWED: Challenges based on geographic areas other than countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent).

@GreyHams If CO lists the countries from each continent on the cache page the used area is countries and not continents and the challenge is allowed.

Can it go smaller than countries to better handle the parts of Spain in Africa, the parts of Russia and Turkey that straddle Europe and Asia and any other odd bits?

For Spain there is a European continent script, Turkey can not be done because the county is in Europe and Asia.
Russia in ignored because of the lack of caches

Thanks for your work on this checker, but the reviewer is asking for to much for me to get my cache approved. So I am abandoning this challenge. Once I come up with another challenge I will try again.

Thanks
