This is the only categorization system that you could scrap the data from, make all new observations, and then reproduce again. You get a couple of small continents, a couple of underwater ones... It's a "8 planets and 5 dwarf planets" situation and a bonanza for the trivia game industry in one!
"But what about Europe!" I hear you shout in a vague attempt at peer review.

Every home
needs a map of the world.
Hang it by the entrance.
Bless it as you might

Say names of countries whose sounds
tickle your throat and move your lips
differently from your own language.
Be curious about who lives there,
sharing seas and stars.
Hope to meet them,
fellow earth-dwellers,
all calling this planet
