<div id="ygrps-yiv-1502511722">since the orenburg oblast is generally accepted as being in both europe & asia<br/>
a total of about 32 & a half subjects are in asia <br/>
& thus the balance of about 55 & a half are in europe<br/>

the conventional continental divide running from north to south<br/>
forms the eastern boundary <br/>
successively <br/>
of <br/>

komi <br/>
perm &<br/>
bashkortostan<br/>

<br/>
it appears 7 major internal tripoints fall on the continental divide<br/>
