Planet Blueprint
Vokinloksar33 April 23, 2019 #travelI was planning to go out travel in May but my father changed opinion about going to a exotic place. I was a bit dissappointed and find myself know too little about any place to go. I should make a travel plan ahead and start to know all the places beforehead.
List of countries by continents
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search This is a list of countries by continent, along with their capitals.
There are multiple continent classification systems in use. The first continent system is the seven continent system consisting of Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania/Australasia, North America, South America and Antarctica.
The six continent system is essentially the same as the seven continent system, the only difference being two continents are merged together. There are two versions of the six continent system, one merging Europe and Asia to create Eurasia, and the other merging North and South America to create The Americas
The five continent system is applying Eurasia and The Americas together, all other continents remain the same.
Finally the four continent system is the same as the prior, however Africa joins Eurasia to become Afro-Eurasia, leaving only Oceania and Antarctica as separate continents.
The only variable in these systems is Antarctica. Being as Antarctica has no permanent population it isn't uncommon for it to be removed from these classification systems.
The most common system used varies from country to country.
There is no universally accepted answer as to how many countries in the world there actually are. The minimum answer is the 193 United Nations member states. However there are many more constituent, de facto and self-proclaimed independent states that are typically added to that list. Additionally certain highly autonomous first level administrative divisions fall under the definition of the word country.
The list below follows the seven continent system and predominently includes only U.N member states unless otherwise stated.

Oceania/Australia
Several terms are in use to describe the region comprising Australia and the nations of the Pacific Ocean. The term Oceania is usually preferred, and this is the term in use by the United Nations. The term Pacific Islands generally excludes the islands of New Zealand, and the continent of Australia. The indigenous Māori of New Zealand are a Polynesian people.
Historically, the region was called Australasia. This term is based more on natural history (geology, living things, geography) than on politics. This means Australia, New Zealand and the whole of New Guinea, plus those islands which are geologically connected.
The countries (14 total) are listed below according to their UN classification:
- Australia - Canberra
- Federated States of Micronesia - Palikir
- Fiji - suva
- Kiribati - South Tarawa

- Samoa - Apia

- Tonga - Nuku'alofa

- Vanuatu - Port Vila
Australasia is not a politically designated region. It is a natural region of islands designated by its geology, geography, botany and zoology. It is also an ecozone.
