Ok. Just know that the Spanish version is wrong and not accepted scientifically.


Id like to know why then.

Well

A) It's not the accepted model by the international scientific community. (The big one.)

B) North and South America broke apart at different times, from different places.

C) The only connection between the two continents of North and South America is the Isthmus of Panma.

D) North America and South America each have their own Continental Cores.

E) They both have their own Tectonic Plates.

 

Europe being combined with Asia has more bearing then the two America's being combined ever would.

Ok, I understand that, but the way we call the continent isnt given by the way they formed, not speaking from a scientific point of view is actually a continent because of the way they found it. In english they call it the americas because  british called people in their colonies in the continent as americans, so its thier americans and the other americans(latin americans and others).

Even if they could be the same continent europe and asia will be europe and asia no matter what tectonic plates indicate, because this is a cultural or historic thing more than scientific when we are speaking oif something like how we call a country.

If you want to claim cultural reasons that seems to screw middle eastern people.  Afterall they have their own distinct culture yet have no continent.

It seems you have hard time understanding what Im saying or you just like to twist it so you can look right.
Think of it like this, even if the US was split by tectonic plates no one would say it would be two different countries. The way we name our continents has to do more with historic things rather than the way they were formed, after all they all were together once, thats why america is considered a single continent and people that consider it 2 continents is because of the reasons I stated above.

OT: the reasons why east european people may be put as villians in VG vary depending on the developer or story writer, it could be ignorance, propaganda, or just because, I doubt there is one reason why this happens.
