-[[offtopic:South America]]
+====== South America ======
+AKA "The one [continent] that's thick at the top and thin at the bottom".
+Often times lumped in with Central America, South America is a whole collection of states that speak Spanish (with the exception of [[offtopic:Brazil]], [[offtopic:Suriname]], [[offtopic:Guyana]], and [[offtopic:French Guiana]]) play football/soccer, and tend to be [[offtopic:USA]]'s playground whenever Communism/American interests come to play.  Not surprisingly, there is a lot of resentment to the [[offtopic:USA]].
+Many consider the boundary with [[North America]] to be at the [[Panama Canal]], but it is actually at the [[Panama]]-[[Colombia]] border. Except, possibly, in TLs where Panama is still part of Colombia.
+==== Alternate history clichés involving this region ====
+[[alternate history:Nothing ever happens in South America|South America is known as a rather neglected area for AH]], at least up to the present.
