Continent
In a few places, Project-GC refers to continents, such as Europe, North America, or Asia. These are defined by configured lists of countries at Project-GC.
Some countries are geographically placed in more than one continent, while others are more debatable. In these cases, Project-GC has decided to add the countries into both continents so that no user misses out.
Below is a list of continents Project-GC has defined along with their current country definitions:

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.
