Challenge checkers
Note that a challenge checker could have a different definition for a specific continent. The owner of the challenge cache might have asked for modifications of the above list - for example, that the countries listed in two continents only be included in the continent the cache owner personally feels is the correct one. Any questions related to what continent a country belongs to for a specific challenge cache are best answered by the cache owner.
