North America

 

North America is characterized by the three largest and most populous states by far: Canada, U.S.A. and Mexico. The course of the cultures on the north-south axis is exciting on this continent. From western civilization to small mini-island states in the south, all living conditions can be found on this continent. In between there are one or the other national park which is also worth visiting.
