There is a map link available on the oneworld web site that may be indicating oneworld defined "Continents". If this is the case then there are some discrepancies as posted here:

Also, the Caribbean Islands just off the coast of Sth Am are shown to be part of Sth Am, which I'm pretty sure is incorrect (e.g. Trinidad & Tobago, Grenada, The Netherlands Antilles).
Panama seems to be in both Nth and Sth Am.

With the xONEx rules, Continents are defined as:

Code:

    Europe-Middle East 
        (including Ekaterinburg, Algeria , Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan) / 
    Africa / 
    Asia /
    South West Pacific / 
    North America (including Caribbean, Central America and Panama) / 
    South America.
