Here's how I think about it:

Let's say you thought North America was the best continent (since it has the best country ever in it, the United States). So to answer whether it is truly the best continent, think about this. If someone put the name of every country in that continent on different pieces of paper, and threw them in a hat, what are the chances you'd get a country that has a stable government and economy and good living conditions? A lot lower than Europe. If that's the method you're going for, then it's Europe. If you're counting significance and contributions to the world in modern times, it's Europe again (although the U.S. has done quite a bit).

So yeah, I'd go with Europe.

But in North America you have Canada, Mexico and USA, all of them have a stable goverment and good living conditions(you could argue Mexico doesnt but depends on the bar you use to measure), so I dont see where the "a lot lower than Europe" comes from.

Yes, but there are also a lot of countries in North America that I wouldn't want to live in, a lot more than in Europe. You may have the chance of being in one of those three countries, but you also have a lot higher chance of being somewhere in Latin America or the Caribbean (and maybe in a country without a stable government and/or good living conditions).

Edit: Obviously I'm not counting those nations separately as Central America. Central America isn't a continent.
