All the land in the world.
There is an island group called Micronesia, which causes many to ask why there isn't a Macronesia. Micronesia means "group of small islands". So Macronesia would mean "group of big islands." Continents are essentially big islands, so Macronesia refers to all the continents and so all the land in the world.
