Ok, so:

1) Africa wasn't the only continent I mentioned, I said that each team member could be representing a part of our world with Sun being taken from Chinese mythology for Asia, Neptune from Greek mythology for Europe and then I mentioned one could be from Africa and the other from America, I assumed context would make it clear America there was referring to the continent and not being short for USA.

2) America is one big land mass, except by the Caribbean Islands, the division in North, Central and South has to do with the 3 main tectonic plates the continent rests on.

3) North America, per the above definition is formed by the USA and Canada.

4) The United States of America is called like that because it's a country formed by a group of States United from the continent of America, which was named after Americo Vespucio who demonstrated that what today is Brazil wasn't India, thus properly discovering the American Continent.

5) Most Latin Americans, like myself, do not reefer to the USA as America because we understand America as the whole continent. In Spanish the nationality for someone who is from the USA isn't "Americano" its "Estadounidense" which literally means "from the United States"; rarely you will heard the word "Norteamericano" which literally means "from North America".

6) That doesn't change the fact that it's common knowledge that there were people living in America before the European arrived, with their own culture which included myths. If you look at America as a whole continent, you will realize there were even three full fledged empires: the Inca, the Maya and the Azteca.
