    Why is South Africa part of Europe? Because it’s wealthier and Europe was the easiest option?

    Edit: and Africa is on the same region as Russia and India? I think I should stop trying to rationalize this.

      Probably results of varied trade deals, buisnesses, colonization, and just a long history of how the world has globalized in general.

      For a second I thought maybe due to their historical colonial ties to the UK but that logic falls apart when you realize AU and NZ are in a separate region from the UK… so… 🤷‍♂️
