You could set up your data so that each country corresponds to a continent.
For example:

countries = {
    "japan":"Asia",

if answer.lower() in countries:
    print(answer + " is part of: " + countries[answer.lower()])
else:
    print("The country you typed in is not part of our dictionary.")

That way when they type it in, we look it up in the dictionary - easy as!
