Americas
The Americas (or America) are lands in the Western Hemisphere that are also known as the New World. Comprising the continents of North America and South America, along with their associated islands, they cover 8.3% of the Earth's total surface area (28.4% of its land area). The topography is dominated by the American Cordillera, a long chain of mountains that run the length of the west coast.
Central and South America have been the USA's imperial back yard since Monroe, and a major stomping ground of the CIA at its worst.
