Europe is bounded in the north by the Arctic Ocean, on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the south by the Mediterranean Sea. Europe's eastern boundary abuts Asia's western boundary and is a cultural and historical construct since there is no clear geographical divider between Europe and Asia. The derived border does not follow political boundaries which which causes the Asian countries of Russia, Kazakhstan, and Turkey to actually be transcontinental countries. Also, these the countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia are Eurasian countries that are at the crossroads of Asia and Europe and can be considered European although Worldguru Academy only includes them in Asia's global area. More information can be found in the Wikipedia article on Europe.

For Worldguru Academy's purposes, Europe is divided into nine regions:

  1. Southeastern Europe
    • containing 5 sovereign countries
  2. Eastern Europe
    • containing 6 sovereign countries
  3. Northern Europe
    • containing 4 sovereign countries
  4. Central Europe
