Map of North and Central America

Ten countries of North and Central America. Tap each on the map; a miss shows where it really is.

North and Central America with the Caribbean: three large countries in the north, the narrow land bridge of Central America and a chain of island states.

23 countries make up this region. Start from the big ones: Canada is the largest by area and a good anchor for the rest. The smallest, Saint Kitts and Nevis, may need a zoom and a tap on its dot.

United States has the largest population here and Saint Kitts and Nevis the smallest, a reminder that size on the map and size in people are two different things.
