    In France 5 are taught.

    America, Oceania, Europe, Asia, Africa

    Yeah. Continent conventions are political, not geographical.

      Antarctica: am I nothing to you?

      (In fairness, there is an argument to be made—though personally I disagree with it—that Antarctica is an archipelago underneath the ice, and shouldn’t be a continent for that reason.)
