Map of Oceania: all countries in Oceania

Oceania is the region spread across large parts of the Pacific and includes both continental land masses such as Australia and New Zealand and a large number of island states and territories in Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. On the map the distances are often greater than they first appear, and many of the region's countries consist of archipelagos spread over very large stretches of ocean.

Searches for countries in Oceania often focus on understanding how the island world fits together geographically, which countries are included and where smaller island states actually sit relative to Australia and New Zealand. This page provides that overview with a combined continent map and a country list making it easier to find both well-known and lesser-known destinations, from Australia and New Zealand to Fiji, Kiribati, Samoa and several other Pacific nations.

The Oceania page is particularly useful when you want to move from a general question about the region to a specific country page. From here you can compare capitals, get a quick feel for which entries are in the database and click through to in-depth facts for each country or territory in this vast ocean region.
