The article mentioned states:
"entire Asia except most of Indonesia
entire Europe
entire North America"
and then counts the 35 countries mentioned above, all from africa, south america and the pacific.
Europe has 51, Asia 38, North America 23 countries (depending on what you call countries).

link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia#Territories_and_regions
link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe
link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America

This totals 41 entirely in the south, 112 entirely in the north. Even with counting errors or differences in what constitutes a country, the North is well ahead.
