Too many bloody types of people for it to be a country, though folk have tried to to make it one in the past.

@Allelse why not have Asia be all of Eurasia?

@Allelse yeah. My geography teacher said that the convention for continents was violated by Europe ._.

I didn't think much of it til he brought it up 😂

@SW-User I know India is a sub-continent, and that Australia is a continent because of the way it sits on the earth's crust, or something. But its also called an island-continent. :S But I dunno. I know where things are but I'll be damned if I understand what alot of them are.

@Allelse interesting :O

@SW-User I think alot of it has to do with them sitting on the lava? Or something. The earths crust I think sits on a thing of lava or magma or something which is part of why they move about. The Continents dont just sit there, but they move about.

@Allelse I never really thought of that :v
The underground pools and stuff

I gotta look into it
