I have an urgent question:
I have to mention only the countries two tourists went through. I want to be sure that they are countries
1) Europe (is a continent not a country, so I don't include it)
2) Ukraine
3) Kazakhstan
4) Mongolia
5) Russia
6) Bering Strait (no)
7) Alaska, in the USA
8) Canada
9) New York (I don't think I should include it because it is a city and also the place where they finish their trip)
Shall I include the USA (when mentioning Alaska?)
Are the countries 6?
Yes, because US includes #7 and #9.

Based on the information you provided, the countries the two tourists went through are:
1) Ukraine
2) Kazakhstan
3) Mongolia
4) Russia
5) Canada
You are correct in excluding Europe as it is a continent, not a country. The Bering Strait is not a country, so it should not be included. Alaska is a part of the USA, so you can include it as a separate entry or mention it as part of the USA. New York is a city, not a country, so it should not be included.
Therefore, the total number of countries the two tourists went through is 5 (Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, Canada), not including Alaska.
