The Americas are difficult for Europeans, and Europe is difficult for Americans.

We usually think of European nations as being very "old," while the Americas are
very "young." However, the last completely new country on the American
continents (not counting a few existing colonies that got independence) is
Panamá, which was 102 years ago! How many new countries has Europe hatched in
that time? [rhetorical question]
