北美地區

在2022的最後兩個月，我們終於要跨越大西洋，前往美洲了！首先先到我們很熟悉的北美洲吧。就跟你心中想的一樣，北美洲只有那兩個我們最耳熟能詳的國家，美國和加拿大。（在聯合國定義下，墨西哥為中美洲國家）沒有國中國、沒有外海島國，北美洲就是這麼樸實無華，我寫起來真是方便（欸不是）。 這兩個國家都在脫離歐洲殖民後發展出一片天，各自成為全球第一和第九大經濟體。他們之間相處融洽，得天獨厚的地理位置亦使他們遠離世界大戰的炮火。他們的內政當然有些隱憂，這個我們後兩天再聊。

In the last two months of 2022, we are finally crossing the Atlantic Ocean and heading for the Americas! First, let's visit North America, a place we're all familiar with. As you probably know, there are two main countries in North America, the US and Canada. No enclaved countries, no outlying Islands. Yes, North America is that simple.

These two countries all found their paths after European colonization, becoming the world's first and ninth-largest economy. These countries get along well. Their distant geographical location allowed these countries to largely escape the destructive horrors of the two world wars. Of course, they are not free of domestic problems today. We'll talk more about them later.
