North America

North America is a geographic continent located on Earth.

History
Although North America existed on Earth for as long as humans have been, they first migrated to it when Beringia formed sometime around 20,000 to 15,000 years ago. This makes it and South America relatively recent, and it became recent during the voyages of a certain Christopher Columbus in 1492, naming it after his friend Amerigo Vespucci. Columbus's delusions believed that he discovered an easy path to India, despite the fact he discovered more lands for the colonial powers to snatch in their fits of geographic gluttony.

North America was home to several major colonies, including the Thirteen Colonies by Scotland, Orleans by France (originally New France), and New Spain by, well, Spain. When war broke out, these colonies were dragged into the battle, and during the French and Indian War, the Thirteen Colonies mhanaged to get control of Orleans/New France. The Thirteen Colonies soon rebelled after taxes were introduced due to costly affairs, the Intolerable Acts, among other things, and soon after a lengthy revolutionary war, the Colonies, or now, the United States, was born.

Stuff happened and that was it. Nothing much to go off, besides the natives and all that.

General Norfverse

 * A large piece of land in British Columbia is missing, along with the entire state of Florida stretching upwards to parts of South Carolina. Occupying it is an archipelago of islands, including two close to Cuba.
 * A large piece of land is present near New Brunswick and Maine.
 * Iceland has been merged into Greenland, which in turn has a large sea caved into it which stretches inward into the island.

Atlantroverse

 * North America is struck much harder than it is, being bisected vertically near the Rocky Mountains splitting California off as an island. Cuba is much closer to Mexico, which is also bisected horizontally splitting it from Central America.
 * Florida and generally the South has been shut off from the mainland, connected only by a thin land bridge similar to that of the Ram Setu in the real world (a thin land bridge that connects India to Sri Lanka.) It is however very close to Virginia, and due to this creates a gulf.
 * New England is cut off from the mainland near Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which causes a large river to flood Lake Ontario. This also seems to flood a good portion of Quebec, which creates a sea that further separates New England.
 * Most of the Caribbean has gone missing with the Lesser Antilles spared, and merged into Mexico. One of the islands may have been merged into Florida judging by a large area of land appearing near the tip of the area.
 * Central America is split in two; to the north by being severed from Mexico, and to the south by Panama having become an archipelago.
 * A more subtle and hard to find difference is that the Hudson Bay is slightly larger to the south, which decreases the size in Ontario. Not that there's much settled anyway.
 * There seems to be an incision in Newfoundland and Labrador for unknown reasons.
 * Greenland has been completely reshaped, resembling a much softer appearance. The size of this compared to the holes in Russia may presume that Greenland IS the land taken from Siberia. This is further evident by the small islands near it.
