* The former republics of the Soviet Union are typically lumped into one region, even twenty years after inde-pendence. In this listing, they've been placed where most appropriate.** Israel may be located in the Middle East but it is cer-tainly an outsider and perhaps better belongs attached to Europe, like its seaward neighbor and European Union member state, Cyprus.

EuropeWith 48 countries, there aren't many surprises on this list. However, this region stretches from North America and back to North America as it encompasses Iceland and all of Russia.

land**48. Vatican City

* Iceland straddles the Eurasian plate and the North American plate so geographically it is halfway between Europe and North America. However, its culture and settlement is clearly European in nature.** The United Kingdom is the country composed of the constituent entities known as England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

North AmericaEconomic powerhouse North America only includes three countries but it is most of a continent and thus a region onto itself.

1. Canada2. Greenland*3. Mexico4. United States of America

* Greenland is not yet an independent country.

Central America and the CaribbeanThere are no landlocked countries among these twenty countries of Central America and the Caribbean.
