Africa holds the southwest quarter, at least in its northern strip. The Americas hold no quarter at all.

Asia holds two of the four quarters of the classical chorography. The Americas hold none, because the hemisphere lay outside the inhabited world the scheme divides.

Europe is the northwest quarter of the classical chorography. The Americas were unknown to it and were never assigned a quarter.

Named in 1946 for the Americas, chosen deliberately to echo europium, which sits directly above it in the periodic table. An etymological link only, not a claim that the element carries anything of the place.

The United States and Canada in particular. The map places this across the wider Americas, since the population described spans both countries.
