'''North America''', 3rd largest of the seven continents, including [[Canada]] (the 2nd largest country in area in the world), the [[United States]] (4th largest), and [[Mexico]] (13th largest). The continent also includes [[Greenland]], the largest island, as well as the small French overseas department of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon and the British dependency of Bermuda (both made up of small islands in the Atlantic Ocean). With more than 360 million inhabitants (1989 estimate), North America is the 4th most populous continent; the United States ranks 4th and Mexico 11th in population among the world's countries. Canada and the United States have technologically developed early modern economies, and Mexico, although less technologically developed than its neighbors, contains some of the world's greatest deposits of petroleum and natural gas.
