There are much more than just three countries located on the North American continent; there are ten countries located on the mainland and thirteen island nations.
The boundary between North and South America is the Panama Canal. Anything north of it is North America, and anything south is South America. In addition, the Caribbean is included as being part of North America.
North America is made of three subregions: Northern America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Northern America includes Canada, the US, and Mexico. Some people confuse this as being North America itself, but it truly is not. Denmark is also present through its territory of Greenland. Sometimes, Mexico is omitted from this region and is included in Central America.
Central America includes Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Some people mistake this for being part of South America or even its own continent; however, it is not.
The Caribbean includes the Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago. France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom are also present through territories and overseas departments.
The reason why some people think that North America only includes three countries, or that Central America is its own continent, is because the Americas (North and South America as a whole) is typically divided into three regions: North(ern) America, Middle or Central America (including the Caribbean), and South America.
