Here are nine trivia facts to tell you the answer:
How critical is the geographical location of the Solomon Islands
An archipelago that was repeatedly contested by the United States and Japan in World War II, a Commonwealth country that became independent in 1978 and established diplomatic relations with China in 2019, when the United States, Japan and Australia were anxious, it showed that its geographical location was really critical. Solomon Islands' more than 900 islands add up to a total area of less than 30,000 square kilometers, but it is the fourth largest and fifth most populous country in Oceania, a close neighbor of Papua New Guinea, the second largest country in Oceania, across the Coral Sea, and the largest country in Oceania, Australia, and the nearest distance is only 1,000 kilometers.
What countries are oceania?
Oceania's landmass is made up of two parts: the Australian mainland and tens of thousands of islands. The former and Tasmania and other islands make up the Australian Federation, the most important country in Oceania, with Papua New Guinea (PNG) in the east half of The Island of New Guinea, the largest island in Oceania, to the southeast, New Zealand, which is mainly composed of two islands, south and north, and the remaining tens of thousands of small islands are divided between the eleven archipelagic countries in Oceania and the colonial territories of the United States and the West.
Several Oceania misunderstandings that need to be corrected
"Australia" is not strictly oceania in the sense of geography, but is short for Australia in informal contexts. The full name of Australia as a country is the Commonwealth of Australia, of course, you can also use kangaroo country to refer to it. Oceania, as the English name for Oceania, originally meant "land surrounded by oceans". The English Australia, on the other hand, is smaller than Oceania in most cases, such as the three major island groups that do not include Oceania.
Oceania, the least like continent
The vast majority of Oceania's islands are located in the world's largest oceanic Pacific Ocean, but this continent has the smallest land area of the seven continents and the smallest population of the seven continents except Antarctica. Oceania has the smallest continent in the world, the Australian continent, and the largest sea coral sea on Earth. The focus of "Oceania" is on the "ocean", and the territorial waters of countries in the continent except Australia and Papua New Guinea are often hundreds of times or even tens of thousands of times the territorial area.
Three major island groups in fragmented Oceania
In addition to one continent, Oceania is left with more than ten thousand islands. Unfolding a map of Oceania, apart from the southwestern australian continent and the islands of New Guinea, new Zealand's two north and south islands, and several large islands such as Tasmania and New Britain, the rest are scattered in fragments in the Pacific Ocean with an area of less than 20,000 square kilometers, which are divided into three arc-shaped island groups: Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia.
Australia's position in Oceania
Australia's geographical location is not in the middle of Oceania, but idioms like "stand out from the crowd" and "one country is dominant" can be said to be used in Australia: kangaroos have more than 85% of Oceania's territory and nearly 88% of the population, and its total economic output, industry and agriculture also account for the majority of Oceania. The Kangaroo Nation is one of only two developed countries in Oceania (the other being New Zealand) and the only country in Oceania to join the G20.
A bit unlike the boss oceania boss
Australia, the behemoth of Oceania, was a British colony for a long time, and after the establishment of the country in 1901, it was not until 1986 that it obtained full legislative power and judicial final adjudication from the British. However, the kangaroo nation does not seem to be accustomed to the feeling of being a real master, and after experiencing the thrill of being an American hound biting Japan in World War II, it began to play the role of the helmsman of the Oceania helmsman of the Central Sasac Group, such as meddling in the affairs of most small island countries in Oceania.
Oceania's old three New Zealand
If there is a list of countries with a sense of loneliness, New Zealand must be at the top of the list. The smallest member of the Five Eyes alliance is located at the southern tip of Oceania in the southern hemisphere, across the sea from Antarctica. New Zealand is composed of two major islands in the north and south and several small islands in the surrounding area, the territory and population of Oceania are ranked after Australia and Papua New Guinea, but in terms of economy, technology and diplomatic presence, it is second only to the kangaroo country, but in this island country with developed tourism but constant earthquakes, its citizens are much more low-key and moderate than the kangaroo countries.
One island is divided into two countries of New Guinea
In addition to the world's smallest continent, Oceania also has the largest island in the Pacific Ocean, New Guinea, also known as Irian Island. This island, which is larger than the 200 islands of Taiwan, is also the second largest island in the world after Greenland. The kangaroo nation could swallow a continent alone, but the island of New Guinea was divided between two countries: Indonesia, a Southeast Asian powerhouse in the west, and Papua New Guinea, the second largest country in Oceania, in the east. Papua New Guinea, in terms of territorial area and total population, is second only to the kangaroo country and surpasses New Zealand in Oceania, so it is the second largest country in Oceania.
Oceania is not far away from us, and it is not all south of the equator, and Guam on the first island chain not far from our doorstep, and the Hawaiian Islands of the fiftieth state of the United States on the third island chain belong to Oceania. Looking south, Oceania has the vastest world in the Asia-Pacific region. If we want to get out of the house, Oceania is a must-have place to escape.
