Maybe Wayne is speaking as a world citizen :roll:

I made post about this, but apparently it didn't come through.

Yeah, you're correct, robo. Here's the numbers from wikipedia:

Roughly 78% of the entire Russian population lives in European Russia, at an average of 27 persons per square kilometre. However, 75% of Russia's territory lies within Asia and accommodates only 22% of its population at 2.5 persons per square kilometre.

Maybe YOUR Russia is in Europe, but not the whole thing. :wink:

I realize we already figured this all out, and numbers were posted, but I figure this is what you meant and I'm clearing out the last of the fog.

'cause europe and asia are really subcontinents, both part of the bigger eurasia.
geography is useless in the face of politics tho, if politics are strong enough.

Europe has joint custody with Asia of Russia. What's so hard to understand? I mean, sure, I was expecting the judge to rule full custody to Europe, but it didn't happen so what's there to bitch about?

what's wrong with the latter?
also, i doubt a nation would give up part (a huge part) of its land simply to make it fit between certain lines.

Ljubljana's Faculty of arts, in Slovenia. There's many languages to choose from, still there's a question of how much you can learn in 3 or 2 years, which will suck for me since I never had swedish classes before and I'll have to start from a zero. I hope I can learn enough so I don't just have to communicate in English when/if I go to Sweden as an exchange styudo.

Remember me from the boards? Don't think so. And for as much as I know, I don't have cancer. Well, hopefully not..never.
