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.

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.
