I grew up in Soviet Union and we learned that there are 6 continents but also 6 parts of the world. If we put the Americas together, we separated Europe and Asia. When we put Europe and Asia together as in Eurasia, we separated the Americas into north and south. Either way, the number 6 remained constant.

In my opinion, you have to disregard the little gaps because most people consider close islands to be part of continents. Therefore, through a chain of islands, Afro-Eurasia (the actual term for those three) also contains Australia. Also, you disregard the gap between Russia and North America, meaning you have 2 continents: Antarctica and Amerieurasiacastralia.

The Urals are more of a practical boundary as they do effectively split Russia into an Asian and European half. I'm not sure if there really is that much difference between Perm and Yekaterinburg, but the Eastern half is mostly part of Russia because of the Empire's conquests and from my understanding is historically and culturally fairly split up from the West, if only because it's fairly inhospitable to major settlements. The Western part is where most of what we consider to be Russia... happened. It's certainly not the worst line I could think of

YES I knew it wasn't consistent. Had an argument with my brother and dad about this. Told them how is Madagascar counted as an African country if they aren't connected. And my brother answered "they don't have to be connected directly , they belong to the same tectonic plate" and I said surely there must be more than 7 plates that have countries that belong to them but aren't defined as part of other continents " Thanks Grey

You could extend this problem to oceans. 4: The standard answer. Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. 5: The water around Antarctica is sometimes regarded as a separate Southern Ocean. 3: Some people ignore the Arctic as its own ocean, as it's so small, and instead consider it part of the Atlantic. 1: Since all of the oceans interact and mix with each other anyway, why think of them as separate entities? All the world's oceanic waters together are collectively called the World Ocean--I know, real clever.

I personally would go with either one or three. The reality is that there is only one ocean. The so called World Ocean. But, I can agree on pointing out the various parts of it as the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. Really those three are just the _"we have to navigate around some big-ass island to keep going"_ parts.

About the Australia or Oceania being the continent, the definiton of continent doesnt apply to Oceania since its just little scattered islands that if Australia didnt exist there wouldnt even be a thought of Oceanian continent, becuase Australia makes almost all of that region of Earth, and the definiton of a continent applies to Australia without Oceania, but the most geographical way to call that region of Earth is "Australia & Oceania"

Update on Among Us Triggered Video: The script is ready to go and we were planning on filming with Carl and Connor tonight. Unfortunately, someone in Carl's family may have been exposed to Covid yesterday, so now there's a chance that Carl has it as well. We're gonna wait a couple weeks to film to be safe, which means this video will come out in December instead of this Saturday. I apologize for the delay, but it'll be worth it!
