North America has the USBF, the ABA, the CBF, the FBM and yes, the  
ACBL. OTOH, North America is a continent, not a country.

Per my reading of the WBF Constitution and ByLaws, a Zonal Authority  
is separate from its constituent NBOs. The ACBL's position as both is  
historical, an anomaly, and probably not in accordance with the  
aforementioned WBF documents. Not that I expect my opinion to change  
anything - even if I'm right.
