...Australia is most certainly a continent. Your geo teacher lied. Lied!


Oceania is a region, not a continent. I think Australasia is a term that has been coined to describe the Australia/Asia region, but not in any official capacity.


Edit: As 9TD pointed out, my next post is my big 1000. Must think of something worthy....hmmm, Magician update (at long last)?

What is this from?

Also, one post away from 1,000 Tomatao. Make it count.

 

Edit: There was another page. Im terrible at forums apparently.

 

let's add some magic to the thread

 

At the risk of killing the joke entirely, Australia the nation, has two active volcanoes on sub-Antarctic islands in our territory; Australia the continent, has some active volcanoes in the islands of New Guinea and maybe others; Australia the mainland, which most of us are referring to when we say 'Australia', has no active volcanoes, and no volcanic activity for about 5,000 years.

Your geography teacher was wrong. Australia is a continent which consists of mainland Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, a few Indonesian islands, and that's more or less it. Attempts have been made to give it a name to differentiate the continent from the nation, such as Meganesia, but they've not caught on. New Zealand is part of a sunken sub-continent. Australasia and Oceania both include continental Australia, but also other islands such as New Zealand.

Yes, definitely dead.

 

Well, I don't know about that, but Australia consists of four regions, is only accessible through Indonesia, and grants an extra army each turn.

 

Or from Akara and Sung Tzu.


If you never did, try Risk 2210, it's fun.
You can both nuke people and fight on the moon.

 

It also fixes a lot of Risk's more awful gameplay mechanics (most obviously, it lasts at most five turns).

 

Fixed it for you.
