I feel personally attacked, Mexico is written twice in the options. But I'll vote for Mexico because like a phoenix, we'll rise from our ashes!
only muricans call RSA South Africa. So no, South Africa is not a country, its a region of the African continent.
By your logic, America is a continent, not the U.S.A.
Why call Mexico Mexico if the full name is United Mexican States? (translation by me, a mexican) Why call Germany Germany when the full name is Federal Republic of Germany? Why call France France when the full name is French Republic?
It's a minor issue, but still, this thread is about countries and using context, we can infer that when you talk about South Africa you are refering to the country, not the region of the continent.
Also yeah, South Africa is oddly a country despite also being a region of a continent, the same way America and Australia is a country I guess.
The america part is not wrong, but I think Austraila and New Zealand, along with islands, make Oceania, not just Australia
