That's pretty interesting, but you could argue that South Africa does about the same thing.

 

And Australia is both a country and a continent, along with Antarctica... if you count that as a country.

America has more to worry about than that if you ask me:

Yes but Australia is the only country on that continent, therefore it would be nonsensical to give it a different name.

Is the "continent" not officially known as Oceania? Always thought it was that way.

 

That image is a great find, Wesley. Makes it all the better to be Canadian.

You may be right on that one actually.

 

In my school for simplicity's sake I guess they teach that the continent is Australia, so I am accustomed to calling it that, although it seems that Oceania is the proper term.

 

Then again my middle school Geometry teacher was a real nut job so who knows what off stuff that crazy bat taught me!

Straight from Wikipedia.

 

Oceania is a region centered on the islands of the tropical Pacific Ocean. Opinions of what constitutes Oceania range from the coral atolls and volcanic islands of the South Pacific to the entire insular region between Asia and the Americas, including Australia and the Malay Archipelago.

 

Australia is a continent comprising the mainland of the country of Australia, its island state Tasmania, and proximate islands including New Guinea, the Aru Islands, and the Raja Ampat Islands.

 

So, Oceania is a region while Australia is the continent. Though arguably, Australia is within Oceania.
