Why stop there? After we rule 85% of the world’s land area to belong to just one continent, why split the remaining 15% of Earth’s land in two? That seems awfully imbalanced to me. So I rule that we should just merge Oceania and Antarctica together into the great continent of “Antherest” — after all, the Maori were quite likely the first people to discover Antarctica; Antarctica itself is just an archipelago with the appearance of a contiguous landmass due to its ice (which might not last); and there aren’t really any people on Antarctica to object to being merged with Oceania.

Europe and India are Asian subcontinents. The only reason Europe is considered a full continent is white people made the definitions.

they made the definitions before they’d invented white people though. IIRC this nomenclature comes from the ancient greeks. it’s very ancient european cope.

the names and boundaries of continents are arbitrary and don’t matter. that said, the most common definition, really more of a vibe, of a continent is size. Europe is 3 times larger than India. It’s twice as large as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and Afghanistan combined.

I was under the impression that continent boundaries were defined by tectonic plates. Is that not correct?

Bold move including Russia as part of Europe considering how the europeans have been acting (without western russia europe is 2x the size of India).
