Oceania countries are the countries included in the region called Oceania, which is formed of Australia and most of the island countries and territories in the Pacific Ocean. There are 14 Oceania countries in total, spanning the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Oceania is technically not a continent like Asia, Africa or Europe because Australia is the continent (a single-country continent). Oceania is considered to be a region when those other oceanic territories are grouped with Australia. The region spans 3,291,903 square miles (which is 8,525,989 square kilometres). The largest Oceania country is Australia and the smallest is Tokelau (which spans just 5 square miles), located in Polynesia. Tokelau is a dependent territory of New Zealand, not a sovereign country. Nauru is generally considered the smallest sovereign country in Oceania by area.
