Shameful display, Donger. SHAMEFUL.

You're right now, but you were wrong when you said this:
I know Europe is not a country, but rather a continent with many countries on it
That should be "I know Europe is not a country, but rather a continent with many countries in it."
A continent is a landmass with countries within its boundaries. So, in is correct.
