Georgia is largely surrounded by the Greater Caucasus and Lesser Caucasus mountains, which form part of a natural boundary between Eastern Europe and West Asia. Because the Europe–Asia boundary is essentially a "historical and cultural construct", [8] Georgia's continental placement has varied greatly.
In the 21st century, Georgia is regarded as a European country [90] for historical, cultural, religious, and political reasons.

This is a list of countries with territory that straddles more than one continent, known as transcontinental states or intercontinental states.
