Hi mkgref!

Singapore is Asia, Moscow is Europe.

I don't know where you can find a map detailing the continents for the OW Explorer, but I can help you with the following list:

- Europe: all European countries (Russia included) + North African countries (Egypt, Morocco, etc. see below) and the Middle East (whole Arabian Peninsula, including UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc. + Iran)
- Asia: classical definition excluding Middle East (i.e. Asia = everything east of and including the Indian Subcontinent + former Soviet Republics in Asian territory like Kazakhstan)
- SWP: Oz + NZ + Pacific Islands
- North America: all countries from Canada to Panama including Caribbean
- South America: everything south of and including Colombia
- Africa: the whole African continent excluding Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Sudan (which belong to Europe/Middle East) - Libya should be counted as Africa IIRC

I hope I listed all continents correctly.

Below the continents as defined in the xONEx sticky:

North America = United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean area, Central America and Panama
South America = all of South America other than Panama
Europe = all of Europe, including Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and all of the Middle East including Egypt and Sudan
Africa = all of Africa other than Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia
Asia = all of Asia excluding everything in the South West Pacific
South West Pacific = all of the South West Pacific, including Australia and New Zealand
