Europe Day quiz: How well do you actually know the continent?
'Europe' is a hazy label once you start travelling to its undefined boundaries

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Europe Day has been going since the European Union's beginnings in 1950 and celebrates a continent with about 45 countries, 23 languages, 50 mountain ranges - as well as a clear cut-off point at Portugal but only a hazy boundary north towards Russia and east to Georgia.
Indeed, an official list of the countries which count as "Europe" does not actually exist, which is perhaps why so many are keen to join the European Union and cement their place in the club.
So from who exports the most beer to who Mr Heinz Fischer is, this is a quiz to show how much you do not know about the continent that has been knocking around in our consciousnesses since we said goodbye to the Romans.
