Regions of the world
Australia and Oceania Australia and Oceania

OCEANIA, the smallest continent, is one of the most diverse and fascinating areas on the planet. A large percentage of geography experts now consider the long-established continent of Australia to be more accurately defined as Australia/Oceania.
Caucasus and the Middle East Caucasus and the Middle East

The Middle East is a historical and political region of Africa-Eurasia with no clear definition. The term "Middle East" was popularized around 1900 by the British, and has been criticized for its loose definition. The Middle East traditionally includes countries or regions in Southwest Asia and parts of North Africa.
Central America Central America

Central America is a central geographic region of the Americas, connecting South and North America together. It is variably defined either as being a region of the Americas in its own right or as the southern portion of North America.
Central Asia Central Asia

Central Asia is a vast landlocked region of Asia. Though various definitions of its exact composition exist, no one definition is universally accepted. Despite this uncertainty in defining borders, it does have some important overall characteristics. For one, Central Asia has historically been closely tied to its nomadic peoples and the Silk Road.
Eastern Asia Eastern Asia

East Asia is a subregion of Asia that can be defined in either geographical or cultural terms. Geographically, it covers about 28% of the Asian continent and about 15% bigger than the area of Europe. More than 40% of the population of Asia or a quarter of all the people in the world, live in geographic East Asia, which is about twice the population of Europe.
Eastern Europe Eastern Europe

Eastern Europe is the eastern region of Europe between the variously and vaguely defined areas of Central Europe and Russia. This contemporary delineation is more commonly used to identify the region since the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact.
Northeastern Africa Northeastern Africa

Northeast Africa is the site of stunning geographic features. Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, the two tallest peaks in Africa, are found here. The Great Rift Valley is a geological marvel and has been the location of many important archaeological finds, such as "Lucy," a 3.2-million-year-old human fossil found in Ethiopia.
Northwestern Africa Northwestern Africa

More than 40 cultures thrive in northwest Africa, and a mix of French, English, Arabic, and tribal languages are spoken by its inhabitants. The vast Sahara is home to dinosaur fossils, rock paintings, and relief sculptures that date back more than 4,000 years.
South America South America

South America is a continent of the Americas, situated entirely in the western hemisphere and mostly in the southern hemisphere. It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest.
Southern Africa Southern Africa

Southern Africa is the southernmost region of the African continent, variably defined by geography or geopolitics. Within the region are numerous territories – including the Republic of South Africa, a successor country to the South African Republic (Transvaal Republic).
Southern Asia Southern Asia

South Asia, also known as Southern Asia, is a southern geopolitical region of the Asian continent comprising territories on and in proximity to the Indian subcontinent. It is surrounded by (from west to east) Western Asia, Central Asia, Eastern Asia, and Southeastern Asia.
U.S., Canada, and Mexico U.S., Canada, and Mexico

Flanked by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the land that now comprises Canada, Mexico, and the United States was originally colonized in the 1600s by French, Spanish, and British explorers.
West Indies West Indies

The Federation of the West Indies, also known as the West Indian Federation, was a short-lived Caribbean federation that existed from January 3, 1958 to May 31, 1962. It consisted of several Caribbean colonies of the United Kingdom.
Western Europe Western Europe

Western Europe is mainly a socio-political concept coined and forged during the Cold War, which largely defined its borders. In popular perception and usage, Western Europe was and still is, to a much lesser extent, distinguished from Eastern Europe by differences of politics and economics and its borders have little to do with clear and precise geography.
