Asia, Oceania, Africa, Europe, South America, North America, Central America and Caribbean
So the question is rank these 8 in order of population size. Largest to Smallest population. My answers are 2013 UN estimates.
I guess everyone will get the biggest. It maybe quite easy with a bit of thought.
Where's Antarctica? :confused:
Most to least:
1) Asia
2) North America (You are counting Mexico as part of N America, right?)
3) South America
4) Europe
5) Africa
6) Oceania
7) Central America
8) Caribbean
My guess:
1. Asia
2. South America
3. Africa
4. Central America (including Mexico?)
5. Europe
6. North America
7. Caribbean
8. Oceania
(9. Antarctica ;))
Asia
Africa
South America
North America
Central America (again assuming Mexico is in this region)
Europe
Oceania
Caribbean
Asia
Africa
Europe
North America
South America
Central America
Caribbean
Oceania ( Australia included?)
Antarctica - bonus
Mexico is per definition part of North America and Australia is indeed a part of Oceania.
Indeed. Sorry I should have made that clear.Quote:

Europe - 742,452,000
North America - 472,800,000 (Including Mexico)
South America - 406,740,000
Central America - 45,200,000 (Excluding Mexico)
Caribbean - 42,517,000
Oceania - 38,304,000 (Including Australia)
Antarctica - Loads of bloody penguins :look:
Your go Gadjo
The only thing the Mexico confusion would have changed is South America 4th ahead of North America.
Once again sorry about not making it clear. The source I saw put Mexico as North America.
Well if you can't be bothered researching your question before you ask it, how can we trust the answer :pQuote:

if you use the accepted method of listing titles and exclude "The" I wouldn't include "The" Gambia and "The" Bahamas, but if you don't I would

It's Anfield's turn.
Grrrrr...... Damn Timor-Leste
I suppose really the criterion of "What is a country?" is whether it is a UN member.
I knew Tibet and Turks and Caicos were not officially independent nations, but put them in just in case.
Same goes for the two countries beginning with THE
Sadly I got them all except Timor Leste, because my mind has it as East Timor. Otherwise I was there.
Sorry about the delay, have been having problems getting on to site, but it all seems good now.
What is the longest river on each continent
i.e.
Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Oceania, and Antarctica?

Just dicovered I don't know any river in N. America -shame!!!!!!
Oceania and Antarctica - have no clue
As for North America my guess is the Mississippi river.
^yeah I think so too
Oceania/Aus - Murray/Darling?
ASIA - Yangzee
AFRICA - Nile
EUROPE - Volga
SOUTH AMERICA - Amazon
Well done Gadjo
NORTH AMERICA - Mississippi system
Well done BleAivano
AUSTRALIA - Murray system
Well done Storm
Just the Antarctic left, If no one gets it today I guess gadjo with four right gets the next question.
Here is a clue it is 15km (yes just 15km) long and is named after a semi-precious stone.
Ok the longest river in Antarctica is the Onyx RIver, it is a melt water stream that flows 15km from the Wright Glacier to the Ross sea.Quote:

OK Name a noble prize winner's novel that has a river's name in it which the area and peoples are a currently hot topic..
Hint: the river was considered the border between 2 continents
I have no idea really but there is supposed to be a river in South America which is supposed to be the border between
Central (belongs to North) America and South America. I definitely don't know who the author is.
As for the river I guess is that there is a river named Rio Grande and that it, is the said border river between North and South America.
I would guess the countries are Russia and Ukraine, which would be the Dnieper river, still wracking my brain to see if I can recall a novel with Dnieper in the title though.
"was" and "continents".. And Tavarich Anfield is close but no cigar...wrong river.
Och det är inte Slussen
Rio Grande is border for 2 countries part if the way but Mexico is in North America.
Besides what's the TITLE of the book with the name of this river in the title.
I bet zako85 knows in a heartbeat..
There is the River Don that flows into the Sea of Azov at the head of the Black Sea through Rostov, is there a novel with this in the title?
Why yes there IS a river called the don which flows quitely to Azov mori...Quote:
