Tier List of Continents by Prestige

Tier 1 - Europe, Asia (big boys accounting for 40%+ of global GDP at basically any point in history)

Tier 2 - North America (a backwater until ~1800s, but better than other options)

Tier 3 - South America, Oceania (decent at one point in history I suppose, Mayans and Australia and all that)

Tier 4 - Antarctica (better than the other option)

Tier 5 - Africa (self explanatory)
