List of sovereign states and dependent territories in the Americas
This is an alphabetical list of sovereign states and dependent territories in the Americas. It comprises three regions, Northern America, the Caribbean and Latin America. The Americas are almost entirely located in the Western Hemisphere, with some of the north-west islands of Alaska entering the Eastern Hemisphere. The majority of islands lying in the Atlantic between the Americas and Afro-Eurasia, such as Iceland, are not normally associated with the Americas and are therefore excluded from this list.
