According to ChatGPT:
‘No, the terms "transcontinental state" and "intercontinental state" do not mean the same thing.
A transcontinental state is a country or state that spans two or more continents. For example, Russia is considered a transcontinental state because it has territory in both Europe and Asia.
On the other hand, an intercontinental state refers to a state that is located on more than one continent but not necessarily spanning them. For example, Spain is an intercontinental state because it has territory in Europe (the Iberian Peninsula) and in Africa (Ceuta and Melilla).
So while both terms refer to a state that exists on more than one continent, the difference lies in whether the state spans the continents or just has territory on them.’

Yes, I realize this a controversial statement, but this is objectively true. You can argue all day about how Iceland is “culturally European”, but ignoring the fact that this statement essentially implies that countries Israel, Turkmenistan, Sri Lanka, and North Korea share just as much in common as European nations, such an argument is irrelevant. The fact is Iceland is divided almost equally on the Northern American and Eurasian continental plates. If you don’t believe me, check out this map displaying exactly that here. Please rectify this issue at your earliest convenience. Thank you for understanding. EpicGamerWinXD69 (talk) 19:48, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Add Yemen to the Asia and Africa section, as Socotra Island and its surrounding islands are considered part of Africa. Anhducsla (talk) 05:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
Greece should be included. If a small piece of turkey is part of Europe. Greeces island Rhode (which is right to the small piece of turkey) is geographically part of Asia. Shouldn't this be included? Or am I just crazy? Emmanuelbruh (talk) 01:21, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
The kingdom of Norway has terretories in@ Europe but also Bouvet Island which according to Un is a part of south America. You could also say Queen mauds land which is a Norwegian claim in Antarctica. 82.146.95.182 (talk) 15:17, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
