This is the new "Latin America is Western" struggle session isn't it

In all seriousness the Spanish continent assignments are even funnier than the English one

North and South America, two gigantic landmasses that are entirely separate save for a 35 mile Panamanian land border that takes 15 minutes to walk across

"the same continent"

Asia and Europe, joined at several points, separated only by the meager Ural hills which even Genghis Khan could ride his horses across, solidly attached for 1500 miles along the Ural border and 400 miles across the flat plain of Western Kazakhstan

"yes, somehow different continents"

At least the english only did one of these
If you're seriously asking for "America" (north and south) as its own continent, that means that "Afroeurasia" is also its own continent. The Sinai/Suez chokepoint is actually more than twice as large as the Panamanian one.

A movement has been started. The Central Americans now own this site. All 14 of us.

technically the geometric center of "the Americas" is somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, though possibly could land in the Caribbean

kinda tempted to calculate it now bc there's a good shot of it landing in Cuba. That would be some next level meme magic

Someone on Quora did it. It missed Cuba by just a few kilometers. deeper-sadness

Still the closest country to the geometric center though.
