You may well be right. However,
Wikipedia led me astray by saying:
"
Northern America is used to refer to the northern countries and territories of North America: Canada, the United States, Greenland, Bermuda, and St. Pierre and Miquelon. They are often considered distinct from the southern portion of the Americas, which largely comprise Latin America. The term Middle America is sometimes used to collectively refer to Mexico, the nations of Central America, and the Caribbean."
Refering to that part of the world as "Latin America" or "Middle America" would've been more appropriate, on my part, than Central America. However, they are all American countries, and that was the point. N'est pas?
