How many European countries lie entirely within the western hemisphere?
In terms of independent countries, I’d say six. Iceland, the Republic of Ireland, and Portugal, and the Isle of Man, the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Bailiwick of Guernsey. The Western Hemisphere starts at zero degrees – the longitude of Greenwich in London. The UK is both in the Western and Eastern, as are France and Spain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere I suppose you could make that seven – the Faroe Isles – although they are technically an autonomous province. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faeroe_Islands This is one of those doubtful areas politically.
