23 COUNTRIES

North America may be one of the most misunderstood continents of all time. To start with, a lot of people do not know that there are more than three countries. Central America is like the Middle East — a political designation that causes confusion and has nothing to do with the geology of what a continent is — or is not. The Caribbean is part of North America, too, despite many of the islands being far closer to South America than the United States of America.
