Since I'm bored, I'll add a little more to the whole African continent debacle.

Just because a country is located on the continent may not necessarily give them the proper destination. Such as Sudan and Egypt are located on the African continent but they are considered by many to be part of the Middle East. Just like the Scenario above, we have Eurasian landmass which is divided into Europe, Asia, and Middle East; do you think we should refer to them all as the same after all they are all part of the same continent. If we can divide one part of the world and call it different names we can certainly do the same to the other parts, and we have done so for a long time.
