    Madagascar is the largest island country in the world (assuming that Australia is a continent).

    Bern's flag and coat of arms contain a bear, and bears have been kept in the city's bear pit, since at least the 15th century.

    Santo Domingo has a population of nearly 3 million making it the largest city in the Carribean by population, and Hispaniola the most populous island in the Carribean.

    But then Australia the island can't be the continent too, cos New Zealand is a different island.

    Afaik Oceania is generally regarded as the continent name. That includes Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific island nations.

    I used to hear it being called Australasia but think that's gone out of usage.

    New Zealand is not part of the continent of Australia, but of the separate, submerged continent of Zealandia. New Zealand and Australia are both part of the Oceanian sub-region known as Australasia, with New Guinea being in Melanesia.

    Bridgetown is named, not for any bridge over any stretch of water, but for Tobias Bridge, a Parliamentarians in the English Civil War.

    The internet country code domain for Tuvalu is .tv, which is so popular a website address that nearly 10% of the country's revenue comes from royalties for using this address.

    The ancient Roman city of Aquincum was located on the site that is now Budapest.

    Yeah, they're the two terms I'd use alright.

    Anyways, back to the action.

    Oh no wait, everyone guessed my answer. Back to pedantic debate! :)
