List of Nations (Pax Columbia)

This list divides the world using the seven-continent model, with islands grouped into adjacent continents. The continents are:


 * Africa
 * Asia
 * Europe
 * North America
 * Middle East
 * South America
 * Oceania (a geopolitical region which includes the continent of Australia and the Pacific Islands)
 * Antarctica

In other models, Asia, the Middle East and Europe can be combined as Eurasia, Asia and the Middle East can be combined into Asia, while North and South America can be combined as the Americas.

There are sovereign states and dependent territories that can be considered to belong to more than one continent, according to geographical, political, or historical criteria.

Africa
For a table of sovereign states and dependent territories in Africa with geographical data such as area, population, and population density, see by population.
