Gentlemen, wishing you a fine day.
Wikipedia overwhelms me. Thanks.¡
Please, on your page for The United States of America, at the very end of it, "Countries in North America" you do mention all of them: but, how about Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam and French Guayana.? This Countries are all located above the Ecuatorial line and we are more subject to the North Hemisphere Winter than to the Southern one. So, are we South Americans or North Americans.?
Thanks. JAIRO BETANCOURT ÁLVAREZ.

South America is a continent. Everything south of Panama is in South America.

The term South America ordinarily relates to the large continental land mass that happens to be relatively more southerly than North America. (Even some Mexicans would not call themselves Norteamericanos.) It has nothing to do with the placement of the equator. At one time Panamà was considered a part of South America. That gradually changed after the United States swindled it away from Colombia.
