I'm actually personally curious myself as to how many people here are from a country that isn't US/Canada/Europe.

Does that mean you're a St. Maartian now? Since they're an independent nation since last year?
Or can you still call yourself Dutch since they're still part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands? xD

First of all the Caribbean is definitely located in North America. Secondly, Europe is ~not a country. [Credentials; Studying for a Geography undergrad BA at UoN, UK].
My objective here was to instill an awareness of how geography is IMPORTANT, as well as to bring to common attention how terrible the teaching of geography is in most of North America (including the Caribbean). No hate, i blame society- not you.
