Someone has to get the lowest votes each year. We fill that role perfectly.

Yes. At least by todays population. Monaco is a close second and I assume Andorra is 3rd.

Yep.
You have to be a member of a TV organisation called the European Broadcasting Union to participate. The EBU is the owner of the Eurovision format. This is how Australia, Israel, Azerbaijan and Armenia can take part. They are all EBU-members. Australia I guess is a member because of the Commonwealth?

You used to be such a powerhouse in Eurovision with 5 wins and 15 (!) silver placings but then the new millenium came around and it felt like the BBC lost its steam regarding the contest. I miss when you sent stuff like this! Love Shine A Light is one of the best winners ever imo.

Calm down Anakin

Australia have aired Eurovision since the 80s I believe. They got to join themselves in 2015 (for the 60th Contest). They need to be invited each year by the host nation by the way. Since they are not a full fledged member (guess there are different levels of membership in the EBU).

Easy to forget. They got 33 000 people.

Israel and Australia are the only nations with zero land in Europe though.

The majority of Russias population lives West of the Ural mountains. Those mountains are the European continents Eastern border.

Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia lie in Caucasus which is another point where Europe ends.

Eurovision has never been EU-vision so no, it is not stretching it.

Australia is a different story though and their participation is debated each year since they joined in 2015. The host nation need to invite them.

Israel has competed in Eurovision since 1973 and are a fully fledged member so their participation feels a bit late to debate.
