North America

North America is a continent in the Earth's northern hemisphere and almost fully in the western hemisphere. It is bordered on the north by the Arctic Ocean, on the east by the North Atlantic Ocean, on the southeast by the Caribbean Sea, and on the south and west by the North Pacific Ocean; South America lies to the southeast, connected to North America by the isthmus of Panama.

North America in A Different Flesh
When Europeans traveled to North America, they discovered it was inhabited by creatures long extinct in the Old World. The most important of these were the sims, a species of creatures that resembled human beings, but were very primitive. The Europeans found themselves in conflict with sims, especially as many people left Europe to start a new life.

North America was colonized primarily by Britain throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. Concurrently, the British monarcy had grown increasingly absolutist, sparking a steady stream of emigrants. In the mid-18th century, the English colonies had had enough of England's tyrannical rule, and rebelled, becoming the Federated Commonwealths of America in 1761.

North America in Southern Victory
North America was divided into three separate countries after the South won the War of Secession in 1862; the United States, the Confederate States, and the Empire of Mexico. The Dominion of Canada was granted nation-status by Britain at the end of the 19th century.

At the end of the Great War, Canada was conquered by the United States, and ceased to exist as an independent nation. The Republic of Quebec was granted independence.

After the Second Great War, the United States occupied the entirety of the Confederate States. The Confederate state of Texas seceded from the C.S. as it was in its death-throes, and became a republic.
