History of Sega in Russia

I think we need a continental definition for countries which straddle continental borders. Currently Russia is classified as Asia, and geographically the majority of the country is in Asia, but it also straddles Europe too. Indeed, the main population centres are in Europe, and politically the country is aligned to European institutions, and the UN classifies it as a European country. It's a similar situation with Turkey. I would generally go with the technical standards (PAL/SECAM/NTSC), but as Asia has had mixed standards in the past this is not applicable. Personally I would go with the UN definition, but am happy to go with other suggestions if they result in a definition that can be universally applied to any other such countries.--Pirate Dragon (talk) 19:11, 13 June 2014 (CDT)

Some of this isn't based on geography per se, but rather Sega's loose definition of "Asia", which from the sounds of things seems to stretch from what we would consider Asia, to chunks of Oceania and westwards all the way to North Africa (not including Japan and South Korea). Wherever "Asian" consoles were sold... because there's not really a better word to describe it I guess.

These days Russia is treated more as a European country, i.e. its covers have PEGI ratings and similar release dates. -Black Squirrel (talk) 03:54, 14 June 2014 (CDT)
