Political continents, not geographical continents.

Oh, you mean imagination continents. How is it even considered a political division when Russia and Turkey are transcontinental? I'm asking nicely. Not in an internet-y way. What a mess this is, and it's 2am here. I'm in trouble tomorrow.

You could ask the same of national borders. It's just something that was defined to make things easier. Turkey and Russia are split in the political continents. And so is Egypt.

You can look up the different configurations here.

In the end all of the configurations are arbitrary since they're all part of the same earth. But I believe the 7-continent configuration is the most widely spread.
