About this topic
North America stretches from the Canadian Arctic at 83 degrees North down through the tropical south and across the Caribbean island chain, encompassing 23 sovereign UN-member states across roughly 24.7 million square kilometres. The continent is geographically dominated by three mainland giants, but politically it is also a constellation of seven small Central American republics and thirteen Caribbean island nations. An isthmian canal marks the conventional southern boundary with South America; the world's largest island is geographically part of the continent but politically an autonomous European territory and is treated separately.
This topic covers the 22 sovereign states the standard regional map renders — every UN member geographically on the North American continent or in the Caribbean basin, save one Lesser Antilles state omitted by the world-atlas source dataset and queued for a follow-up override. Practice clicking each country on the live map under the clock, type names against the highlighted feature, drill the country-to-flag pairing in multiple choice, sort North American countries from European, Asian, and African distractors in tile-select rounds, or match each capital to its country across four regional rounds covering the mainland, Central America, the Greater Antilles, and the Lesser Antilles.
The continent's regional sub-divisions are natural drill subsets: the mainland trio, the Central American isthmus, the Greater Antilles, and the Lesser Antilles arc. Start with click-the-map — the Caribbean island chain is more memorable as a shape than as an alphabetical list.
