Oceania is a vast oceanic region of the southern Pacific made up of Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. It includes the continental landmass of Australia, the long mountainous islands of New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, and thousands of smaller islands scattered across millions of square kilometres of ocean. Many of its sovereign nations are among the smallest on Earth, while their exclusive economic zones make them custodians of some of the planet's most important marine ecosystems.
