Oceania
In a narrow sense, Oceania is a term used to refer to Polynesia (including New Zealand), Melanesia (including New Guinea) and Micronesia as a whole. In a wider sense Australia is also counted as forming part of Oceania, and in this sense Oceania is also sometimes seen as a continent. This article uses the wider sense of the term.
