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!

Wow, your North America includes our Central America and Caribbean. That's a particular way to see it (perhaps you divide it accourding Ecuator?)

At least we share the same definition for South America and I'm surprised to see it also includes the Falkland/Malvinas islands that are currently in dispute between England and Argentina (I would like to know if there's a map of England to see if they do also include those islands or do not. Argentinean maps do also include but come with the disclaimer on it).

Thank you so much for this <3 (And I apologize if I sounded rude, it was not my intention OTL)

It seems it is different in Portuguese too for what I could read:

America is considered as a continent as a whole and it is divided in the same way as the spanish way.

And for them Oceania is a region like it is for the english speakers ( http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania ).

I'm unsure if it applies to both Brazil and Portugal but it is interesting nonetheless.
