	Spain has two enclaves in north Africa: Melilla and Ceuta... plus the Canary Islands I think are technically African as well

	According to the UN, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Georgia are indeed transcontinental. Check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blank_map_of_Europe_(polar_stereographic_projection)_cropped.svg

	Chile has territory on three continents: South America, Australia ("Oceania"), and Antarctica.

	These are open to interpretation.

	Definitely open to interpretation. If you include territories the list would be much bigger.

	You're missing Denmark (Greenland is in North America) and France (French Guiana is in South America). These aren't territories but integral parts of the countries.

	When considering transcontinental countries, culture and politics are generally ignored, it's based on physical geography. The Eastern border of Europe is comprised of the Ural mountains, the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus Mountain range. Part of Kazakhstan lies west of the Urals and so Kazakhstan is part in Europe. Territory in Azerbaijan and Georgia overlaps the Caucasus mountains making them part in Europe part in Asia.

	andrecb makes a good point about Spain, Melilla and Ceuta are integral parts of Spain and situated on the continent of Africa, as are the Canary Islands. As davidr states, France and Denmark should also be included. France should also appear in North America (Guadeloupe and Martinique) and Africa (Reunion). The UK however cannot be included since it only has territories on other continents - not integral parts. Another country with possible inclusion is Yemen, the isles of Socotra are on the African continent.

	Chile's Antarctic territory probably shouldn't count since it is recognised by Chile alone. However some Pacific islands are incorporated into the Valparaiso region of Chile, putting it in the Polynesian triangle (part of Oceania) along with Tonga, Tuvalu, Samoa, eastern Kiribati and New Zealand. The triangle also includes Hawaii, so if Chile were to be included so must the USA.

	Sorry to go on but, Indonesia should also be considered (possibly as a bonus answer) since no one can decide where Asia ends and Oceania begins. Most agree that, in a physical geography sense, Indonesia lies in both Asia and Oceania (as part of Melanesia).

	If Indonesia can be considered as Oceania, so can Philippines.

	I really think you should stop using the term "transcontinental" which is usually interpreted to mean "spanning across a continent" and instead use the term "bi-continental" which would clearly mean "located on two continents". I thought this quiz would be a list of countries with coastlines on more than one ocean.

	The island of New Guinea is considered part of Oceania, therefore making Indonesia a part of Oceania as well as Asia

	Arguably Kazakhstan, Cyprus (sometimes considered both a European and an Asian country, depending on the source), Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.
