I think of continent as a geographical term. Using continent to describe an area that is many times more ocean than land area seems incorrect to me.
I don't think that from a geographical perspective, NZ is part of a continent (outside of Zealandia). It's an archipelago. Attempts to make it part of something bigger, are just a matter of convenience.

Jamaica lost so much credits in the last 10 years, thanks to crime.

why an island must be crowded? Fogo island in Canada or archipelagos in Scandianvian region are the best places I can think about :__;

Yeah, it's convenient for little passive aggressive euros to try to take us down a peg by not admitting Australia is a continent.
