Todays Demographics within FFXIV

[LianaThorne]

That.. is all still 'America', US, Canada, Mexico.. North and South America.. it is all 'America'.


^ This in it's entirety is the Americas.. also just called 'America'.

Is Canada considered part of the US/North America? No. It's its own country.

Is Mexico considered part of the US/North America? No, it's its own country between North and South America. It's not even part of Central America.

Is South America part of the US/North America? No, it's its own continent that is a part of the "Americas" but they do not recognize themselves as the general "American" that the US does (hence why Brazilian, Chilean, etc. exists):

It really isn't hard to Google. Just because it's all a giant landmass does not mean everyone there recognizes themselves as American lmao.

Look at the options for god sake.. they're not asking you to tick your country, they're asking you to tick your landmass. The question after is more relevant as far as specifics go.

It's not hard to list: Canada, Mexico and South America.
What are you on about?
Oh gods no...MORE THAN 5 OPTIONS?!?!?!?!
The horror.

You just listed 2 countries and a continent.

Are you now saying that Canada and Mexico are continents?

Or does every South American country not matter and you just don't want to be lumped in with the US in North America?

Not our fault the country is called the US of A.


The poll is asking which continent you live on.

The America's should have been split, that's all. Get over yourself.

By your standards, Europe and Asia and Africa share the same "landmass".

Makes me miss the Good ol' days where it was just one gigantic landmass. The next rejoining seems so far away.

Canada, the US, Mexico, and the countries of the Caribbean and Central America make up the continent of North America, which collectively with South America is known as "The Americas". It could've been worded better on the poll but I'm not sure the FFXIV general forums is the place for your misguided geographical crusade.

If you clicked on the link, there's options for your culture including South American and if you're not on the list you can fill in an entry anyway.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a while. Thanks for the laugh.

North America is a continent primarily comprised of Canada, The United States, and Mexico, but even then there is Central America which may also be considered part of North America that includes 7 other countries.

"America" is a general term for all the regions of North, South, and Central America.

Just pointing out that while I've heard this used in Europe, I never ever hear this at home (in Canada). I.e. we never refer to ourselves or Mexicans as "Americans", rather we're "North American" if we want to identify by landmass.

However, as someone who has some experience with market research, for what it's worth, I would not set up a survey just referring to "America", depending on what I wanted to know I would want it split into the various continents or countries- "America" is just too nebulous.
