Notes
[edit]Part of Transcaucasian Region, at the crossroads of Asia and Europe. Physiographically, Armenia falls entirely in Western Asia, while Georgia and Azerbaijan are mostly in Western Asia with small portions north of the Caucasus Mountains divide in Europe.
The island of Cyprus, which comprises the Republic of Cyprus, Northern Cyprus and Akrotiri and Dhekelia, is geographically located in Asia, closer to Asian Turkey than to the European mainland. However, the Republic of Cyprus is a member state of the European Union.
Turkey is a transcontinental country in the Middle East and Southeast Europe. Turkey has a biggest part of its territory (95%) in Western Asia called Anatolia.
Kazakhstan is a transcontinental country. Kazakhstan has a small part of its territories located west of the Urals in Eastern Europe.
The Republic of China (ROC) was the recognized legitimate government of China between 1912 and 1949. After its defeat in the Chinese Civil War, the Republic of China retreated to the island of Taiwan where it continues to govern today. In 1949, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was established in mainland China. Since 1949, both the ROC and PRC officially claim to be the sole legitimate government of the entirety of China (including Taiwan). The flag of the ROC was thus the legitimate flag of
China since its adoption in 1928 to 1949, whereas after 1949 its status has been linked to the political status of Taiwan.
Egypt is mostly situated within Africa, however the Sinai Peninsula lies in Asia.
