Oceania is not really a continent, but it can be seen as a geographic division of the world that includes Australia, New Zealand and some groups of islands scattered in the Pacific Ocean. The main groups are Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia. There are more than 25,000 islands and islets of 25 nations and territories spread over the Pacific. It's total population is about 30 million people and, because of the distance, there is little animal life, except for seabirds and insects.

Australia is the great territory of Oceania. Sometimes it is called a continent itself.
