    Since when are the countries of Mexico and co. counted as North American countries? Those are Latin American / Central American countries.

      As far as I know, in none of the continent models (be it 5, 6 or 7 continents) is central America its own continent. It’s a region of North America. And Latin America is a cultural-linguistic category.
      But feel free to look up “North America” on Wikipedia.
