# Extraneous elements in “Europe countries” list [closed]

I found that the list "Europe countries" encloses "Russia" and "Moldova". This is not correct! Any hint?

You may be looking for EntityClass["Country", "EuropeanUnion"] instead.

Otherwise, if you really want to not include Russia and Moldova:

countries = Complement[
Entity["GeographicRegion", "Europe"][
EntityProperty["GeographicRegion", "Countries"]], {Entity["Country",
"Russia"], Entity["Country", "Moldova"]}]


Now you can still do aggregate computation using EntityGroup, such as

EntityValue[EntityGroup@countries, "Population"]


without including Russia or Moldova. (Alternatively, Total@EntityValue[countries, "Population"] will work too.)

You can also do geographic computation:

GeoGraphics[Polygon@countries]


As you can see, Moldova and Russia are not included.
