<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''North America''' is geographically the bit north of the Panama isthmus. In practice a "Central American" region is normally accepted, which pushes the southern limit of "North" America further north. To the north it pretty much extends to the Arctic ice-cap (although politically the Canadians and the Inuit have their respective claims).<br />
<br />
In [[period]], North America was inhabited by native settlers (who appear to have crossed the Bering Strait at some pre-period point), by travelling parties of polar dwellers, in the extreme north and north-west), and by European colonists (no-one has successfully argued the case for naval colonisation across the Pacific).<br><br />
Variously the first European contact is said to have been by [[Viking]]s (qv [[Vinland]]), by [[St.Brendan]], by Amerigo Vespucci (on behalf of [[Italy|Italian]] interests) or by Christopher Columbus (on behalf of the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] [[Crown]].<br />
Certain other theories also argue that the last of the [[Knights Templar]] journeyed there, after the suppression of their order by the [[King]] of [[France]].<br />

====Personae====<br />
Most Society personae of a North American sort will have to be European colonists, pending the verification of authentic records of the pre-colonial indigent culture. These will generally be of Spanish, English, Scosts or French origina, as Portugal tended to concentrate on the Southern American sub-continent.</div>Simoncursitor
