Without so much as getting out a map of the western hemisphere, I can
readily hazard a guess that South American countries added to the US,
Canada, Mexico (how many are there in Central America?) might be greater
than 2 or three, let alone 1.  [yes, I saw the smiley above.]

If the proposed charter were for a group to discuss politics of the
Western Hemisphere, then talk.politics.american might be appropriate.
Is this the intent?
