American Economic Area of the Western Civilization.

Within the American Economic Area of the Western Civilization from historical, cultural, and economic integration point of view, we can identify three areas.

1. The North American Economic Area: The U.S. and Canada. The U.S. is the world's political leader and the first global economy. The EU and the U.S. account for 50% of the total global GDP. Canada is one of the strongest economies
2. The Latin American Economic Area. The Latin American Countries seek to integrate their economies: MERCOSUR, ALADI, UNASUR, ALBA, Pacific Alliance.
3. The Caribbean Economic Area. The Caribbean comprises Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago. Total population: 15 million people. The main integration process is the CARICOM

Today Christianity is the main religion of the American continent, but in the pre-Columbian Era, there were several Native American religions, many of which have survived. The presence of these religions is evident in countries like Guatemala, Bolivia, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, and Brazil. Approximately, the Native American population is 50 million people.

Finally, it should be noted the influence on many American Countries of the African Diaspora (200 million of Afro-American descendants of the 30 million Africans were stolen from Africa and transported as slaves to America). The Afro-Americans belongs to the Christian Civilization (America) but may also belongs to the African Civilization (included in the African Union vision of a United Africa).
