"Central America" and above is all considered North America.

I still have my GLOBE since childhood. It sits on a shelf right
behind me. It's about 50 years old and much of it is all wrong

I've been tempted at times to buy a new updated one just for fun.
Even my big wall world map, right above me, is very outdated.
Still has Soviet Union.
