The powers should have been:

European: The power to take stuff from others without them noticing.

North America: The power to buy stuff and vacuously talk themselves into bad ideas, and project their voice over long distances.

Asia: small stature to squeeze into tight spaces, and has the power to reproduce and instantly make many copies of themselves.

Africa: Summon large animals and inflict malaria on enemies.

S America: Bring all the others together with a universal love of drugs, and drives around on a bulldozer.
