The question seems to be just how anal we want to get over this. Is it useful to readers to include the extra information, information that can be assumed, on perhaps hundreds of pages? Are readers wanting to track all appearances of North America? In general, locations get very little attention; the bulk of location pages are blank or mostly blank.

Consider another example: if a Green Lantern story is set in Coast City and Oa would you need to include the country, continent or planet? The star system or galaxy? Or is the reader given enough information by listing just the two primary locations? I'd argue for the latter.
