So much this. Not sure why America and Afro-Eurasia gets split into pseudo-continents but we get lumped in with a single country. Note that even when talking about Australia as a continental region, New Zealand is not part of the continent of Australia. New Zealand and Australia are both part of the wider regions known as Australasia and Oceania.

You can blame the ancient Greeks for that. They divided the known world into Europe, Asia, and Libya, with the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Nile serving as continent boundaries. Our current continents are just an extension of the same basic division.
