Why is Australia grouped with the Americas and Greenland instead of in Australasia?



Because the whole point of the map is equal population?


The population of Australia is just a rounding error on a map like this. The map's creator had quite a bit of freedom to put it wherever they wanted. The divisions on the map follow political and cultural boundaries, so putting Australia in the same group as Canada is defensible, if arguable.
