What is the difference between a country and a territory?
A country governs itself, while a territory is governed by or tied to another country. Puerto Rico, for example, is a US territory.
Which continent has the most countries?

Can I spin only European countries?
Yes. Pick Europe in the continent filter and every result comes from that list until you change it.
