You've gotta be trolling. In case you aren't.....

All of those countries you mentioned (with the exception Nicaragua) are Carribbean Countries, not Central American countries. There are only 7 countries in Central America.

I would have thought those are included, too, but I guess it's an Italian thing - the corresponding wikipedia page in Italian considers Grenada etc, too ( https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_Centrale )

Latin America is a weird concept. If it's all the places that speak a Latin language, you'd have to include Québec and Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon in it, even though those have otherwhise almost nothing in common with South American countries.

Latin America was a concept first proposed by Napoleon. Haiti is often included in Latin America, since it's independent. I think an independent Quebec would definitely be considered a part of Latin America, but since it's just a province it's in a weird limbo.

Yeah. I had always learned that "North America" was the big three. Canada, USA, Mexico. And that "Central America" was all of the smaller countries. Since it's not really an official region, I guess it's all in who teaches it.

Central America is part of the continent of North America. Central America does not include Mexico.

Mexico is part of North America, but it can also be considered part of Central America as the region is geographically defined as the continental land that stretches between the isthmus of Tehuantepec (In Mexico) and the isthmus of Panama.

Some say Central America begins in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Under that definition, Mexico is in both North and Central America.

I think North America is a geographic term and Latin America deals with the language (Latin derived or Germanic)

"Latin America" is a super-regional designation for countries in the Americas that speak a language descended from Latin, namely Spanish or Portuguese. (There's some debate if French should be included, but typically it isn't. A source that covers this in part is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBt5rMD2aDc.) Thus, the nations of Belize, Guyana, and Suriname are excluded from Latin America.

I dont think so, I was surprised at how low the scores are ! would have expected everything to be 95%+ atleast ! (There can always be that one that slips your mind) So I guess people struggle with it as is. Eventhough I had more than a minute to spare aswell

I had a nightmare... that we are going to be rekindling the debate over Cyprus being in Asia or Europe or whether Egypt is in Africa or the Middle East on this side of the pond with regards to whether Mexico

is part of Central or North America. If the cultural/language/ethnic commonality argument used to place Egypt in the Middle East is repeated here, then Mexico is part of Central America.

And it has gotten dark here, so I dont even see what I am typing only a bit from the screenlight.
