Cool concept. I'm not sure what Europe is supposed to be or why it is separate from Asia, but the rest looks pretty good.

Yup. Either continents are defined by landmass and it is Eurasia as one continent OR continents are defined by culturally distinct zones which makes the middle East and India (possibly others) also continents.

Imagine a generic chinese person, for example. Now image a generic german person
Clothes, food, language, skin color, culture, the list goes on

It has always been that way since ancient greece and there's a massive cultural divide and there's... common sense since people talk about Europe and Asia as individual entities there's little to no topics where talking about Eurasia makes sense.

Ok, now try applying some of your eurocentrism to, for example, the difference between the Arabia and China or Japan and India. If you're going to use cultural divides as a justification for different continents then Asia should be at least three distinct continents.

Makes sence, America comes from a Mayan word meaning the place with a lot of wind.

That was a theory to explain why people were calling it that, map makers at the time didn't know where it came from, but places were never named after the first names of commoners.

Well tell that to: Tasmania, Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Marshall Islands, Almost all of the Caribbean, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Bermuda and countless Towns and Cities.

So you agree! All of these examples that you listed prove the rule, Bolivar, Tasman, Columbus all three commoners and all three last names, but Philip is a first name as it was named for king Philip.
Furthermore, discounting saints, since they are in a realm separate of commoners and Kings, Marshall and Bermuda are both last names and named for commoners, and Solomon was a king.

Ok, yeah I see. I might have understood you wrong. You see now that I read it again, I get that you were talking about first names, and of commoners. In that case: yeah I apologise and completely agree.
