Northern America is the northernmost region of the Americas, distinct from but part of the North American continent, including all territories north of Middle America. Geopolitically, according to the scheme of geographic regions and subregions used by the United Nations, Northern America consists of:[1][2]

Canada

United States

Greenland, a self-governing island of Denmark

Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, an overseas territory of France

Bermuda, an overseas territory of the United Kingdom

Definitions

Maps using the term Northern America (L'Amerique septentrionale in French) date back to 1755. The region was then occupied by France, England, and Spain.[3] Today, Northern America includes the Canada-U.S. , developed countries that exhibit very high human development and intense economic integration while sharing many socioeconomic characteristics, including relatively low but increasingly divergent demographic patterns (e.g., fertility levels).[4]

Geopolitically, Hawaii – a U.S. state located in the Pacific Ocean – is included in North America. Due to its distant location, physiographically, the Hawaiian archipelago is commonly included with the other Polynesian territories of Oceania. The archipelago is also linguistically Polynesian.
