Oceania

Oceania (no, not the Empire in Orwell's 1984), is the collection of islands. Exactly which islands is dependent on whom you ask. We're using these islands:

  • Australia
  • Fiji
  • Kiribati
  • Marshall Islands
  • Micronesia
  • Nauru
  • New Zealand
  • Palau
  • Papua New Guinea
  • Samoa
  • Solomon Islands
  • Tonga
  • Tuvalu
  • Vanuatu
So we're including Australia, New Zealand, and islands almost from Asia to America. Though we're excluding the Asian islands of Japan and the Philippines. Oceania...

Now, almost all of the islands are politically independent.

As one can imagine, a lot of the dishes involve the many fishes found in the region.
