For some amazing reason, this Wiki article does not include Europe, which alone contains about 30 countries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Hemisphere Apr 01 08, 1:50 AM

The article mentioned states: "entire Asia except most of Indonesia entire Europe entire North America" and then counts the 35 countries mentioned above, all from africa, south america and the pacific. Europe has 51, Asia 38, North America 23 countries (depending on what you call countries). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia#Territories_and_regions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America This totals 41 entirely in the south, 112 entirely in the north. Even with counting errors or differences in what constitutes a country, the North is well ahead. Apr 01 08, 2:35 AM
