# The continents

The continents are the mainland of Sonic's Earth. They're where most of the humain population live, and have a lot of different culture and practices. This list of continent is based on what is shown on *Sonic Unleashed* and tries to respect were elements are positionned in different cultures. Where we could have several different position for an element, I try to respect distance from the main elements from the game. For instance, the Shamar continent is nearer Chun-Nan and Empire City, while the Mazuri one is nearer the Apotos/Spagonia one.

Even if the Sonic Wikia have decided to use the Earth continents' names using as a base the Gameloft Sonic Unleashed adaptation I have decided to avoir these name, and to use as a base only the information from the official games, and reuse more the Unleashed map.

Some other notes:
- Elements that are North and South America-inspired are placed both in the Empire City continent
- Metal City is on the same continent than the Mystic Ruins, are they're insinuated to be not that distant in the Sonic Team illustrations
