Well, it is you guys who claim Europe is separate from Asia. On a globe
it looks like Europe is the tiny western end of Asia to me. You have to
look on a globe because most maps show a very distorted image. For
instance Canada is nowhere near as big as it looks on most maps.
Some interesting demographic are here:

I notice that 88.5% of the freight is by road in the UK. What's that
about our inefficient oil wasting transportation system over here? HAR!
Road is the only efficient system when distances are short.
Just because it is 600 miles or so from Land's End to John O'Groats
doesn't mean all freight takes than route. A huge amount just goes from
Tilbury into London.

Forget Russia and it is. In fact it's smaller than 2 Canadian
Provinces (Quebec, if you count north-south vs. east-west, and Ontario)

the whole Eurasian landmass. Still, Europe is not small

don't go confusing Europe and the European Union. Europe stretches
>from the Urals to the Atlantic, and is much larger than
North America.
The European Union occupies a remote peninsula on the
westernmost tip
of Europe.

What really is shocking is when you look on a globe and see what a
tiny place Europe is.
