No man is an island, no man stands alone.
I am a rock, I am an island.
And Iraq feels no pain.

If its about plates, explain:
The Arabian Peninsula
Why are the Americas either 1 or 2 continents but nobody says 3?
What's up with India?

The Arabian Peninsula, (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and the Maldives) and Greenland are all considered Sub-continents.

Though if you use the term "subcontinent" in Australia you are almost always referring to the Indian subcontinent.
