Choose a plain text list for spreadsheets, a JSON array for scripts and APIs, or HTML <option> tags for dropdown menus. The labels are kept simple for clean UI display and consistent dataset joins. This list follows the common seven-continent model and uses Australia as the continent name; if your project prefers Oceania, you can swap the label while keeping the same structure. Use this list as a reliable source of truth for location filters, educational content, data grouping, and dashboards. It is also handy for onboarding forms and analytics views where continent-level segmentation is required. If you need subregions like Central America or Eastern Europe, add a second field or separate dataset to keep the main labels clean.
