^Lloyd, John; John Mitchinson [2006]. The Book of General Ignorance. Harmony Books, p. 95. ISBN 978-0-307-39491-0. “New countries or continents were never named after a person’s first name, but always after the second…”
^ abcd Since Guadeloupe and Martinique have been upgraded from overseas departments to regions of France, they are no longer listed separately in The World Factbook. Therefore, these figures are from the last edition in which they appear -- July 2006.
^Panama is generally considered a North American country, though some authorities divide it at the Panama Canal; land area and population figures are for the entire country.
^ ab Water area makes up a considerable portion of this entity's total area. Therefore, for a more accurate figure on which to calculate population density, this figure includes land area and excludes water area.
^ Includes the U.S. state of Hawaii, which is distant from the North American landmass in the Pacific Ocean and is, thus, commonly included with the other territories of Oceania.
