List of countries by continent

A continent is a large continuous mass of land that constitutes most of the dry land on the surface of the Earth. In other words, it is a large continuous mass of land (non-submerged) with geologically significant borders. There are seven continents: North and South America; Asia; Europe; Africa; Australia; Antarctica. All seven continents constitute about one-third of the earth's surface.

The list below shows the countries within six continents of the seven. Antarctica has no countries and is more of an international continent. Some countries have tried to claim parts of Antarctica as sovereign territory, however no true "territory" has been established on Antarctica.
