Continent/Countries subdivision (Central America) about ci-global-calendar

Here the Central American countries, if we want to consider it as a continent.

Perhaps less controversial would be to list Regions instead of Continents.

I think North America, Central America, South America is helpful division.
This also would allow Europe, Asia, SE Asia, Middle East to be subdivided... (what do countries in the Middle east self identify as? Asia? Asia Minor?)
Also, having regions that overlap might be good, it allows edge cases to be grouped by the user rather than us (example: Mexico in both North America and Central America).
resources:
*https://ourworldindata.org/world-region-map-definitions (nice visual presentation of a few different possibilities, too bad it isn't comprehensive)
*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme (Promising, and can compare to a few others from first paragraph of page)
*https://www.internetworldstats.com/list1.htm (doesnt include asia subdivisions)
*https://sciencetrends.com/the-geographic-regions-of-the-world/ (doesn't have Asian subdivisions)
*https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia (Part way down page has listing and links to Asia subregions
...)

I think having a map that color codes the divisions is also helpful. (like on CI.com's 'World Jam Map')

as an American I would be delighted if once North America were selected, then the drop down for 'countries' included US states and Canadian provinces.
