While we're doing scientifically-unsound polls, might as well do this one too!

[Poll #1636721]

Only separated out the major/predominantly English-speaking nations because there are probably way more of even one of those than any of the others combined.

This isn't about politics, it's about geographical, physical location. You don't have to identify as an American to be from the US! Chill!

We don't split America per se until we get to study the different countries, then we have two possible divisions:

- North America (includes Mexico) and Latin America.
- North America (includes Mexico), Central America and Caribbean) and South America (from Venezuela downwards).

Wow, this proved to be so nice to find out how things are taught outside <3

Antarctica, well, it is considered a continent but they don't give it the same value as the other continents.

Huh that really is different!

And the thing about Antarctica is different for me, too! We were just always taught it was a continent, even though it's a lot less inhabited than others.

Haha I love learning about this stuff.

We do hold the same definition for Antarctica then? Awesome!

I wonder how many other things we do have differently, such as other subjects like natural science, social science or even if we do have subjects in common :P
