- gpm 7y ago> 23 countries Canada, USA, Mexico, what are the other 20?
- Steltek 7y agoGreenland, Caribbean, most of Central America...
- brobinson 7y agoMost of Central America is part of North America?

- sergioj97 7y agoI think some of those countries are usually referred to as Central America. From Wikipedia's article on Central America: "Central America consists of seven countries: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama."
- WillPostForFood 7y agoThere are 7 continents: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. Central America and the Caribbean are regions of North America.

- msla 7y agoThere's no consistent definition of continent; if there were, Europe damn well wouldn't qualify as one. So, is Asia only a distinct continent so Europeans can other Asians?

Technically I think north-western Iceland should be included too since it's on the western side of the mid-Atlantic ridge.
