| Feb 8, 2022 at 16:18 | comment | added | AlexP | @JohnO: The question says "continent sized land formation". Yes I know that geologically Zealandia is a continent; and alongside New Zealand, New Caledonia also belongs to it. But New Caledonia and New Zealand's islands are still islands, just like Great Britain. | |

| Feb 8, 2022 at 16:00 | comment | added | John O | @AlexP Continents don't have to be above water though. If we look at the tectonics and all of that, New Zealand is its own continent. It just appears as a smaller island chain because only the highest elevations are above sea level. If he's willing to have a large continental shelf, there is no reason his land mass can't be the size he wishes it. I'd say the mountain barrier ringing it is the more difficult issue. | |
| Feb 8, 2022 at 15:40 | comment | added | AlexP | "Is there any way it could have a salt sea in the middle that is alive with some smaller ocean creatures for fishing": you mean, like the Caspian Sea in the middle of Eurasia? (Note that in the real world the Caspian all by itself covers 371,000 km² or 143,200 sq mi. An island of 200,000 km² is not a continent by any stretch of imagination. It is smaller than Romania, and my country is mid-sized even among European countries. I would say that the 3,000,000 km² of India are the smallest acceptable size for a continent.) | |
