To be clear, this covers the geographic boundary of Oceania, not the more political definition normally used. Also, the boundaries of continents often have many definitions, some might be slightly different than the one used here. That said, please let me know if you have any suggestions or if I made any errors.

Do any of the Japanese islands (like Iwo Jima) sneak in there? I'm not sure if there are any as far south as where you've drawn the border on the map, but it might be worth checking if you haven't already...

LacsiraxAriscal - I didn't include Japan at first because its populated islands in that region are very questionable as they are right on the convergence of the Pacific tectonic plate & the Philippine Sea Plate, but after your comment I did a little more research & decided to include it because (1) I included the country of Palau with it in much the same situation & (2) I found Japan controls the atoll of Minamitorishima, which is firmly in Oceania by any geographic definition & although it's un-populated except for a weather station, it appears to be legally a full part of Japan (rather than a dependency). Thanks for the suggestion.
