I always have included The European part of Russia in the observations I've done here. European Russia is at least 40% of the whole Europe land surface.
Do you have a link? I don't think that's right, and I thought the debate had been settled with the Ural mountains as the Europe/Asia split. This means that about 85% of Russians actually live in Europe.
There should be pretty simple ways to do this by population weight once the boundaries of Europe are agreed upon with questions like: west of the Urals? including Iceland, various islands in the Atlantic (Madeira? Canary Islands? Azores? others?), Cyprus, overseas territories of European countries?
Because of location, wars, history etc. i'm happy to just give Russia, Georgia and Azerbaijan to Asia.
Move Armenia to Crimea, if they don't accept that give Ukraine to Asia as well and move Armenia to the Turkish part of Cyprus and send the Turks back to the mainland OR move Armenia to Southeast Belarus.
As noted below, Guinness World Records recognises Bernotai, 26 km. north of Vilnius, Lithuania, as the official geographical midpoint of Europe. But that does not preclude other centres, depending on the methodology
used in making the determination.
