      Los Angeles is not in North America

      I don’t see a problem with that.

      Plus, by tectonic plates, isn’t it America, since N/C/S America are on the same plate, right? (I don’t trust my memory of school from decades ago).

      India is usually considered a subcontinent. West Coast is a geologic mess until resolved.
