America

A continent in the Western Hemisphere home to 47 countries and a few European territories.
It is separated into four large regions: North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
The continent is home to Native American, Latino, and Western cultures.
America's main languages are Spanish, English, Portuguese, and French along with various indigenous languages.

Most people see North and South America as two different continents separated by the Panama Canal. The problem with that is that the highest point of the canal is 85 feet above sea level so it doesn't count as a land cut off. Also, both continents are called "America" and are connected geographically and culturally so there is no compelling reason for them to be separate.

Contrary to popular belief, America is NOT a country, it's a continent of many countries.
It's name was unrightfully stolen by the United States, one of many countries on the continent of America.
"What continent is Mexico in?"
"Mexico is in north America with Guatemala and Belize to the south and the United States to the north."
