As to organisation, that is an interesting one. It's like the world map; depending on where you are in the world, it is laid out differently ie North America is not always in the centre.
However, I would do something such as ...
...'Australia' (can't forget them!!)
'Antartica'
You certainly can't forget us, and thank you for not doing so! But this is problematical, Australia is both a continent and a country, and my neighbours in the Pacific might feel a little miffed by having "Australia" as the main heading. I think that "Oceania" might be more appropriate, with sub-forums such as "Australia", "New Zealand", "South Pacific Islands" (only examples). Both Au and NZ are grown-up enough to have their own sub-forums, they are very different places.
Antarctica is problematical. The best that most of us will ever have of seeing it is from the window of a plane chartered specifically , so I imagine it might be a calm and peaceful corner of FT. I'd be happy to put my hand up to moderate such a forum, although the three posts that it might attract annually (in a busy year) may well be very controversial
