'''North America''' is the land mass consisting of the [[United States of America]], [[Mexico]], and [[Canada]], as well as some Caribbean islands and (in some [[atlas]]es) the small nations of [[Central America]]. (See [[banana republic]].) It is partly in the earth's [[northern hemisphere]], and mostly in the [[western hemisphere]]. To the north it borders the [[Arctic Ocean]], to the east it borders the [[Atlantic Ocean]], to the southeast the [[Caribbean Sea]], and to the south and west is the [[Pacific Ocean]]. [[South America]] is connected northeast of North America by the [[Isthmus of Panama]]. Some scientists include [[Greenland]] in North America, but as Greenland is actually a territory of [[Denmark]], it is technically part of [[Europe]].
