Whilst developing a publishing site, I thought I would need a list of continents and their respective countries to put in a MySQL database to help locate people who published on the site.
I researched the Internet for a while but could not find a list of continents and respective countries. However a few days ago I was looking at a site for a totally different reason and came across a list of continents and sub-countries by coincidence.
I eventually only used the list of worldwide countries and did not need them separated into continents.
As I had forgotten where I found the list, and instead of discarding it I thought I'd share it here as I'm sure someone may find a use for it.
Please note that the list below seemed to be correct as of early 2010, and if you have a more up to date list then please let me know. Thank you.
The list is follows with the continents appearing in upper case and their respective countries listed below.NORTH AMERICA Aruba Bahamas Barbados Belize Bermuda Canada Cayman Islands Costa Rica Dominica Dominican Republic El Salvador Grenada Guadeloupe Guatemala Haiti Honduras Jamaica Martinique Mexico Nicaragua Panama Puerto Rico Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Saint Lucia Trinidad and Tobago Turks and Caicos Islands United States United States Minor Outlying Islands Virgin Islands (British) Virgin Islands (U.S.) SOUTH AMERICA Argentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Ecuador French Guiana Guyana Mexico Paraguay Peru Suriname Uruguay Venezuela EUROPE Albania Andorra Anguilla Antarctica Antigua and Barbuda Armenia Austria Azerbaijan Belarus Belgium Bosnia and Herzegovina Bouvet Island British Indian Ocean Territory Bulgaria Christmas Island Cocos (Keeling) Islands Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Faroe Islands Falkland Islands (Malvinas) Finland France French Polynesia French Southern Territories Georgia Germany Gibraltar Greece Greenland Guam Heard Island and McDonald Islands Holy See (Vatican City State) Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Malta Marshall Islands Mayotte Moldova, Republic of Monaco Mongolia Montserrat Netherlands Netherlands Antilles New Caledonia Norfolk Island Norway Pitcairn Poland Portugal Réunion Romania Russian Federation Saint Pierre and Miquelon Saint Helena San Marino Slovakia Slovenia Spain Svalbard and Jan Mayen Sweden Switzerland Tokelau Turkey Ukraine United Kingdom Wallis and Futuna MIDDLE EAST Bahrain Egypt Israel Jordan Kuwait Lebanon Oman Pakistan Qatar Saudi Arabia Tajikistan Turkmenistan United Arab Emirates Uzbekistan Western Sahara Yemen AFRICA Algeria Angola Benin Botswana Burkina Faso Burundi Cameroon Cape Verde Central African Republic Chad Comoros Congo Côte d'Ivoire Djibouti Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Ethiopia Gabon Gambia Ghana Guinea Guinea-Bissau Kenya Lesotho Liberia Madagascar Malawi Mali Mauritania Mauritius Morocco Mozambique Namibia Niger Nigeria Rwanda Sao Tome and Principe Senegal Seychelles Sierra Leone Somalia South Africa Swaziland Tanzania, United Republic of Togo Tunisia Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe ASIA Bangladesh Bhutan Brunei Darussalam Cambodia China Hong Kong India Indonesia Japan Lao People's Democratic Republic Macao Malaysia Maldives Myanmar Nepal Philippines Singapore Korea, Republic of Sri Lanka Taiwan Thailand Timor-Leste Viet Nam OCEANA American Samoa Australia Cook Islands Fiji Kiribati Micronesia, Federated States of Nauru New Zealand Niue Northern Mariana Islands Palau Papua New Guinea Samoa Solomon Islands Tonga Tuvalu Vanuatu
