Someone get Warman a beer (or whatever drink he likes)!

I voted the 4th option, but I forgot about Greenland. I find in funny that people want to exclude countries from a continent. They clearly are not in South America. How can Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Cuba not be in North America?

I remember I used to think that Greenland was a part of Canada when I was a kid. ;)
 
It will be soon... Alaska too... mwah ha ha ha! ;)

Denmark and the US would be be the attacked nations, so you have to declare war on yourself or at the very least carry a police action against yourself. You have to honor Article V. ;)
 
Meh, it was inevitable we were going to self destruct anyway, might as well take some of you down with us! :)
 
What happened to central america? I guess I think of the carribian as it's own part of the world. The Bahamas and Bermuda are perhaps part of North America, but they are not large enough to signify - as wonderful as they are by all accounts.

Canada, the States, Mexico and the "B" islands.

Ireland? Mauritania? Portugal?

Ah Your right! Get out of our hemisphere you dirty Europeans! I declare Monroe doctrin on Spain, Portugal, Azores, Canary Islands, Ireland, Western France and Western England.
 
You messed it up. North America is not a continent. America is a continent. Europe does not exist, from the geographic point of view, it is just a west-asian peninsula. The very term is based on cultural difference between Europe and Asia.

In that manner of thinking, then Africa isn't a continent either. So we have America, Eurasifrica, Australia, and Antarctica.
 
Canada, USA and Mexico if there is a Central-America too. But if you mean the continent, then I would choose all.
 
I never understood why central Americans and Mexicans called us "norteamericanos". By geography so are they really.

Same reason I call French and Germans "European", even though I'm from the UK.

Sometimes I go on holiday to Europe ;)
