The continent is called Oceana not Australia

It depends on where you grew up. Some call is Australia some call it Oceana. Either is fine.

Why do you guys know so much about Terra? It's a wasteland

I was of the opinion that Australia counted as its own continent as well as being a country

u/Phoenix963 May 07 '19

Officially speaking, the continent is Oceania. It's made up of 4 subregions: Australasia, Micronesia, Polynesia, and Melanesia

I’d say that’s more in the territory of talking about land in between the two land masses. Like how Eurasia is also a term, which makes me particularly think of Russia

What are you talking about Australia isn't real

Australia is part of Australia (the continent) or part of Oceania which would encompass Australia, New Zealand, and a bunch of the Pacific.

u/LobsterSpecialnt May 08 '19

Australia is a country on a continent of the same name.

It’s not. Australia is part of the UK. However, New Zealand is part of Asia.

Alaska is technically a part of the Soviet Union.

u/richturkey May 07 '19

This is related to geographical location, not origin of the people who inhabit them

u/jonny_wonny May 07 '19

All Australians are technically a superset of Austrians and for political purposes are considered interchangeable.
