                  America IntroductionNorth
                  America is composed of Canada, the United States of America,
                  and the United Mexican States. On January 1, 1994 the
                  North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) became law
                  with the goal of eliminating barriers to trade in, and
                  facilitating the cross border movement of, goods and
                  services between the territories of Canada, Mexico, and
                  the U.S. In addition to regional economic integration
                  as a result of NAFTA, an additional objective is the
                  strengthening of special bonds of friendship and cooperation
                  among the three nations.  Each
                  Country in North America has its own unique cultures
                  and heritage, and with that comes significant disparity
                  in the forms of business etiquette. Each unique culture
                  is presented in the Web pages listed below. |
