I thought of that - it's the nearest part of European Union Nirth America, that's true. But there are French overseas Terrotories a lot further west than that, over on the other side of North America. And there's talk of the Falklands having the same kind of status. So I don't think that being in the European Union necessarily means being in Europe.

After all there's a good chance that Turkey might become a member, and that's a good chunk of Asia.   And if Newfoundland a (lonmg) stones throw from Miquelin ever decided to regain its independence and apply for membership...
