Comment 7 for bug 619916

Hi...

I've changed the status bug in order to continue with the discussion.

I believe that, without neglecting the scientific contribution of geographers, geologists and other specialists in fields of geopolitics, if we consider the region as it really is defended, a continent, consideration should be the name America, which I think much more valid than any other.

Still, I think it's important to take into account the socio-cultural and historical realities of the countries of Central America, whose characteristics differ greatly from the countries of North America (except for some areas of Mexico).

In that sense, it is important to note that Central America has a similar story among the countries that form from the process of colonization to independence and current constitution, which makes it much more true to create a category for these countries.
