 List of countries by
continents
Countries by continent, along with their capitals.

There is no universally accepted answer as to how many countries in the

world there actually are. The minimum answer is the 193 United Nations
member states. However, there are many more constituent, de facto and
self-proclaimed independent states that are typically added to that list.
Additionally certain highly autonomous first level administrative divisions
fall under the definition of the word country.

Australia
Several terms are in use to describe the region comprising Australia and the nations of the Pacific Ocean. The
term Oceania is usually preferred, and this is the term in use by the United Nations. The term Pacific Islands
 generally excludes the islands of New Zealand, and the continent of Australia. The indigenous Māori of New
Zealand are Polynesian people.
Historically, the region was called Australasia. This term is based more on natural history (geology, living things, 
geography) than on politics. This means Australia, New Zealand and the whole of New Guinea, plus those islands
which are geologically connected.

The countries (14 total) are listed below

according to their UN classification:
Australia - Canberra Australasia is not a politically designated
Federated States of Micronesia - Palikir region. It is a natural region
