countries aren't considered main continents. there are only seven continents. just like a state or province is a smaller area in a country, a country (or subcontinent) is a smaller part of a continent.

Countries are not typically referred to as subcontinents. Instead, the term "subcontinent" is used to describe large landmasses that are geographically and culturally distinct from the larger continent they are part of, such as the Indian subcontinent in South Asia. These subcontinents have their own unique characteristics and history that set them apart from the rest of the continent.
