216: 99: 154: 130: 385:: I've seen it done before with more complicated boxes, but perhaps we could have "Middle East" as a partial section, and mess around with the wording so that we get Africa and West Asia to touch so that they're in "Middle East," but also in Asia/Africa? For sort of examples of what I'm saying, see: 407:
Super strong objection to the inclusion of the OR continent of the Middle East (or Latin America for that matter!). When an intercontinental region is dumped between continents it creates double counting and endless cycles of back and forth, as countries are then included in BOTH a continent and in

You are correct that Middle East and West Asia is almost interchangeable, even though there are some issues whether including Egypt and Caucasus. However in practice, we find out many people have no idea where is Middle East and how it is defined. In the past people tended to add central Asia and
