Oh, I guess this is what I meant with https://github.com/dr5hn/countries-states-cities-database/issues/125 and continents I did that already for 200 of 250 countries. I guess your list is complete though?

dereuromark commented 4 years ago

{"name":"Turkey","region":"Asia"} Shouldnt that be in the Europe region? Especially since even Russia is still mainly Europe :) At least that's where I put them in my DB after some research on it.

dr5hn commented 4 years ago

@dereuromark According to Wikipedia, it should belong to Asia.

Check this 👇🏼 Turkey, officially the Republic of Turkey is a transcontinental country located mainly on the Anatolian peninsula in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeastern Europe.

It has a major portion in Asia and a smaller portion in Europe.
