Samoa's Continent: Oceania (South Pacific)

Samoa is an island nation in the **South Pacific Ocean**, politically and geographically part of **Oceania** (sometimes called the "continent" of Australia/Oceania in continental models).

Clarification:

  • Not in Asia, North America, South America, or Europe.
  • Oceania includes: Australia, New Zealand, Melanesia (PNG, Fiji, etc.), Micronesia, Polynesia (Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands, etc.).
  • Samoa lies roughly halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand.
  • Two main islands: Upolu (capital Apia) and Savai'i. Population ~200,000.

In some classification systems (e.g., UN geoscheme), Oceania is a region, not a continent. But in the context of the question's options, **"South" (meaning Oceania/South Pacific)** is the intended correct answer.
