NORTH AMERICA
The North American continent extends from the frozen wastes of Arctic Canada to
the Caribbean islands and the tropical jungles of Panama. It is dominated politicallyby the United States, the richest nation on Earth, yet life in countries such as Mexico and
Nicaragua is still a struggle. The data below is arranged in order of each nation’s size.The warm seas and
glorious beaches of
the Caribbean make
islands like St Lucia
magnets for tourists.
The wealth they
bring is vital to the
local economy.
The Statue of Liberty
in New York Harbor
has long been a potent
symbol of freedom,
especially for those
arriving here by ship
to seek a new life.
