Dumb question, from a dumb Yank, where's "Oceania"?

Well I'm terribly British, but live in Hungary. Kind of complicated. I think if you live away from your own country you do tend to get a bit perculiar about nationalism. Little things, not flag waving marching up and down the street stuff.

Ozzy

i'm in the netherlands during my summer holidays. sailing on the Ijselmeer,to be more exactly.  8)

germany,proud member of the axis of weasels,sauerkraut eaters and the biggest beer consumers in da world. any other prejudices?

I thought Australians were supposed to be the biggest beer consumers (per capita) at least at one time. Could be wrong though.
There's an interesting piece of research for some bright lad to undertake!

Hagar, my man, I don't know where you got the quote that states that the Malay Archipelago is SOMETIMES included as part of 'Oceania' but you better throw it away. They're Asians. You can tell by just looking at them.

I jest though I've never heard that. It was always my understanding (and what we were taught at school) that 'Oceania' was Australia, New Zealand and surrounding islands (possessions).
But in this changing world, we are now part of ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations). Most upsetting! I don't even like rice.

While we're on the subject of what is where.............Scandinavia (what seems like a country where I might like to be.....) Norway, Sweden and Denmark are definitely Scandinavian countries. I have read that there are supposed to be 4 Scandinavian countries. Some books say Finland is the 4th, others say Iceland is the 4th.
Which is it? Or are there five? Can anyone clarify...........(I know Hagar is just going to log onto Google......

i am british i believe:)
i had a quick look for the beer thing and china is apparently the biggest market at the moment

Born in Argentina, then came to the US in the 1990's

Well, I'm from the United States.  I was born in Oregon and have lived there my whole life.

I wouldn't dream of blaming you mate.

As for Scandinavia, well that site indicates that there are actually 5 countries.
Well, I'll be...........

born in israel and live in india for half a year now because of the job of my father (i'm 15 years old  )

Aww let em have their fun pete!

You need eastern representation ?....then try me....if you travel east far enough, you'll eventually wind up on Vancouver Island......
Although this is where I now reside, its not where I came from......I lived in Toronto and surrounding area between 1958-2001...........
Don't count me out as a Brit though, unless you don't count a born Geordie as one.....some say thats the closest you can come to being a Scot.....!
Born South Sheilds.........now known as part of the South Tyneside area.......
