That would depend on which island he/she lives. Sicilian (Sicily) Maltese (Malta) Cypriot (Cyprus)
If Europe is split into Western and Eastern Europe, then the smallest country would be Cyprus. If by general idea of Eastern Europe, then the answer would be Macedonia.
Malta is an island in the Mediterranean Sea. The nearest land to the islands of Malta & Gozo is the island of Sicily which is part of Italy. The next nearest countries would be Tunisia and Libya.
I would not focus on Cyprus if I were you because not a lot of children are given up there. Cyprus require that you must be permanent residents of Cyprus or have resided in Cyprus for at least two years prior to the submission of the application. You would be waiting longer than normal for a international adoption or a national one for that matter. Do the home study forst and after you have been approved you can contact a adoptive agency and decide onthe country then. For Cyprus read more in the link below.
Contiguous means connected, so the non-contiguous countries of Europe would be countries not located/connected to mainland Europe. This would only include island nations in this case: Cyprus Iceland Ireland Malta United Kingdom
It depends on wether or not you consider Cyprus a European nation or not, though it is widely accepted as one on political, not geographical, terms. So the answer would be Cyprus. If you just mean on the continent itself, the answer would be Greece.
some people are very because of their jobs and some are really poor but overall I would say that it's a rich country.
Currently, Cyprus is the only major island in the Mediterranean with a Muslim-government presence: the illegal occupation government of the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. If the map you are looking at is from the days of the Abbassid Caliphate, then the island in question would be Sicily, which was conquered by the Arab Muslims and held for roughly two centuries.
Being an island, Cyprus isn't directly connected to any continent. It's politically part of Europe (Cyprus joined the EU in 2004), but its nearest large land mass is Asia (it's 75km from Turkey) and it's also close to Africa and the middle-east. Most Cypriots would probably say they were Europeans. Even examining the geology of Cyprus doesn't help much as its on the meeting point between two plates (African and Eurasian).Cyprus is a part of Europe.
There are strong arguments that would compel joining Cyprus to both the regions of Europe and the Middle East. I am of the view that Cyprus is politically and socially a European country, but physically and geographically a Middle Eastern country. In terms of popular culture, it is a mix of European and Middle Eastern attitudes, with a slight European bent, like Greece or Israel.
Cyprus has a national team, which would simply be known as Cyprus. They have many club teams.
It is fun to Travel to different countries. The only country that would be close to 40 miles south of Turkey is Cyprus.
