Oceania includes Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia,
spanning the eastern and western hemispheres.
Most Oceanian countries have a parliamentary representative democratic
multi-party system, with tourism being a large source of income for the
Pacific Islands nations.
In the 1950s, present-day Indonesia (except Western New Guinea) and
the Philippines were removed from Oceania and added to Asia.
The islands at the geographic extremes of Oceania are generally
considered to be:
* the Bonin Islands, a politically integral part of Japan
* Hawaii, a state of the United States
* Clipperton Island, a possession of France
* the Juan Fernández Islands, belonging to Chile
* Macquarie Island, belonging to Australia
Other island countries include:
* Kiribati
* Tuvalu
* Palau
* Fiji
* Tonga
* Solomon Islands
* Vanuatu
* New Caledonia
