Of course it is. Look up "England" on Wikipedia, sentence #1: "England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom."

England is not a sovereign country though: it is part of the UK which is the sovereign country. Look at your passport, it refers to the UK. We use the word 'country' in the UK to refer to the constituent parts of the UK for very valid historical reasons, but England is not a country in the same way that Iceland or Finland are (both sovereign countries). England is on a par with (for example) Bavaria in Germany in that regard.

Constituent countries are not countries in any sense that matters to the people outside of them. The US also uses a term for its administrative subdivisions ("states") which in most other contexts refers to sovereigns, but no one here or elsewhere pretends that that makes them countries in any useful sense. Indeed, the US states are considered sovereigns as a matter of US law, in ways that sometimes matter significantly for US legal affairs, but the rest of the world rightly ignores this second-class "sovereignty" and treats states as the administrative subdivisions they are.

Until the UK falls apart, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland will rightly get the same treatment, regardless of whether they want to call themselves "countries," "states," "federated republics," or some other word for "administrative subdivision lacking sovereignty."

Not only on Jetpunk. Look at a map. Continents are defined by physical geography - continental plates, oceans, mountain ranges, etc, not what currency they use. Is every country that uses US Dollars in North America now? Cyprus is clearly in Asia, and it would be in Africa before it was in Europe!

The Himalayas, Indus, and Ganges separate India from the rest of Asia, should it be considered a continent?

Continental boundaries are completely arbitrary.

saale

Funnily enough, it is considered a subcontinent! The Indian subcontinent includes India and a few of its neighbours that are separated from the rest of Asia by the mountain ranges you mentioned. It just happens to be on the smaller side, so it isn't considered its own continent.

Continents are defined by convention; these conventions are inspired by physical geography, as well as human geography, politics, languages, and a bunch of other factors, like how easy it is to make lists on a trivia site.

It's also important to understand that, like most coarse taxonomies, it's just not very important, and it's especially not important when it comes to being fine-grained about their "borders". It literally doesn't matter whether Cyprus is in "Asia" or "Europe" or "Africa" or is a continent of its own for that matter; any more than it matters whether Pluto is a planet or not.

That being said, how about my meaningless coarse taxonomy?

There are five continents: Africa, Antarctica, Eurasia, North America and South America.

There is also Oceania, a continentoidal region.

Eurasia is a megacontinent, because it has two subcontinental peninsulas: Europe and South Asia.

Continents have never been defined by physical geography - where the hell do you get that from?

To illustrate my point: jetpunk considers Trinidad and Tobago to be part of North America.

saale

Level 61
Mar 12, 2025
Well, Trinidad and Tobago are located on the Carribean plate and that tectonic plate is considered to be part of the North American continent in its entirety. Continents are absolutely defined by geography for the most part. Yes, there are some inconsistencies, but your example is not one of them. Exactly because of geography, T&T does not belong to South America, as that would require the borders of the tectonic plate to be disregarded.
dunkinggandalf2

Level 72
Mar 12, 2025
"Is considered" is doing some very heavy lifting, here. If continents were defined by tectonic plates, Trinidad would be in the Caribbean continent, and Cyprus would be partially in Africa.

By the way: the notion of "parts of the world" (meaning continents) dates from Antiquity. The word "continent" was formed in the 16th century and originally designated any continuous land - each island being its own continent.

We've only known about tectonic plates since the 20th century.
