North America on the map
The map numbers 23 countries, all UN members. St. Martin, Sint Maarten, Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Greenland, Curaçao, Aruba and 10 more are drawn but not numbered: territories of another country or non-UN members.
Canada is the largest country (about 3.8 million sq mi) and Saint Kitts and Nevis the smallest. Guatemala has the most neighbors: it borders 4 countries.
Every country of North America has a coast. 10 are island nations with no land borders: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, The Bahamas, and Trinidad and Tobago.
Number key
Numbers follow alphabetical order. Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Haiti and 7 more are too small for a number on A4 but keep their number in the table; A3 and Tabloid leave more room. With each country’s capital, for the capitals version:
