Nepal change

(1/1)

gwiffey:
Could I recommend that Nepal join South Asia? The fact that it's usually considered to be in the same region as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh (which are collectively called South Asia) makes it quite confusing for it to be called North Asia. I'm sure we all won't fully agree on which countries should be places in which regions and what the technical names for each region be called, but I think switched Nepal out of North Asia could at least be a good start.

I can honestly say that I have never given this matter a moment of thought!

Based on that tome of definitive knowledge on regional boundaries -- the Eurovision Song Contest -- Russia would be part of Europe. Which leaves Mongolia alone, or part of East Asia if this board were to be, say, disbanded.

I'd put Mongolia either with East Asia or Central Asia (mostly all the Something-stans).  And while most of Russia is in Asia, Moscow and most of the other big cities are in Europe, so yeah, I'd put it Russia in Europe.
