All Countries in the Americas
55 countries · World Bank 2023
The Americas span two continents, North America and South America, connected by the narrow isthmus of Central America and dotted with Caribbean island nations. Together they contain 55 countries and territories, stretching from Canada's Arctic north to the southern tip of Chile and Argentina.
The United States and Brazil are the dominant nations by both population and economic output, but the Americas also include some of the world's smallest countries by area, like Saint Kitts and Nevis and Grenada. Latin America and the Caribbean represent one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse regions on Earth, with Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, and Dutch all spoken as official languages.
Below is the complete list of countries in the Americas sorted by population, with each nation's capital, total population, and area.
