I watched the last episode of Maps: Plunder, Power and Possession yesterday, and another short list sprang to mind:
Continents whose names don't start and end with the letter "A"
Or for an even shorter list:
Continents whose names don't start and end with the same letter.
I'm Sure It's Due To An Increase Of Something In The Area...

Greenland?
Oi! I object! What about the incontinents...?
North America
South America
Europe
or
North America
South America
or
, if you use the 5-continent convention.
JH, is that a continent? If so, you are the winner.
L, do they start and end with the same letter.
B, ignoring this "north" and "south" stuff, obviously.
MW. Frinton? Felixstowe?
"JH, is that a continent?"
Nah, it can't be. Haven't we just proved that, to be a continent, it must begin and end with the same letter? (Actually, it's the world's largest island.)
B, actually, let me pick up on that 5-contintent nonsense.
AsiA
AntarcticA
AmericA
AustraliA
AfricA
That's five, plus
EuropE
Makes six.
Sorry, I meant the 6-continent convention. In the 5-continent convention you get
EurasiA
AntarcticA
AmericA
AustraliA
AfricA
so the answer to both your short lists would be "Eurasia"
