Åland has no motto. Despite this it will not get my vote.

Turkey is not in Europe and should never be allowed in the EU.
This game sucks.

This game does suck but unfortunately it's not against the rules so I can't lock/delete it.
I'm looking into getting the rules changed though.

No Turkey in the EU. Seconded.
I vote Hungary. Someone's got to. (plus Budapest is my favourite European city)

I am telling you that you may not want to enter an argument about Turkey with a Greek. Or two Greeks.

If I could edit it out, I would, but that function never works anymore
Go on Tre, lock the thread, you know you’ll get a kick out of it

I vote for Turkey, the cradle of Civilization. To me it represents the best of Europe. What all of Europe should hope to achieve.
Or maybe a made up country like Åland. |

In a move that stuns all but especially Katherine, I vote for Persia.

Sean has clearly used some source or other for his list of countries that comprise the 'continent' of Europe, and not the European Community as some of you seem to be taking it. If you have any complaint then question the source cos clearly Sean is no dummy. Anyway, if Russia is in the continent of Europe it makes sense that its former southern republics and countries like Israel and Turkey be included purely in geographical terms. Or perhaps some of you mean that Europe has always been viewed as a christian cultural space and it's therefore incorrect to include the muslim nations and to a lesser degree Israel? And that even a silly little game like this poses some sort of threat to Fortress Europe?
And on the Asia Minor distinction: The division of the landmass of Eurasia into the separate continents of Asia and Europe is an anomaly with no basis in physical geography. The separation is maintained for historical and cultural reasons. An alternative view is that Eurasia is a single continent, one of six continents in total. This view is held by some geographers and is preferred in Russia (which spans Asia and Europe).
If on the other hand Sean meant culturally 'ultimate', Turkey would not get my vote and neither would Greece.

Turkey is included in UEFA, which is good enough for me. I vote for Turkey.
