Pacifica (Continent)

''This article is about the continent Pacifica. For the country, see Pacifica.''Pacifica also known as Mu, is a large continent located in the Pacific Ocean. It is considered the third largest continent, being nearly the size of both of the Americas combined, and the exact same size as Africa. It used to be called North Pacifica and South Pacifica from 1924-1996, but in 1996, it was referred to as 1 continent in a science journal, with other journals quickly following suit. It has 933,221,567 people, which makes it the 3rd most populated continent. It also contains the U.S. State of Hawaii.

Pacifica covers an area of around 30,370,000 square kilometers (11,730,000 square miles), which is the exact same as the land area of Africa, give or take a couple hundred meters. Including adjacent islands, it covers 20% of Earth's land area and 6% of its total surface area. Pacifica contains about 933 million humans, ranking third place next to Africa and Asia. It has one of the most unique biogeographic realms, as it shares many species with Asia, specifically brown bears, red pandas, gorillas, leopards and pandas. This means that Pacifica was likely connected in some way to Asia when Pangea split.
