NA / Europe isn't so much political (NA not as much as Europe) as geographical (small ocean) and as for the common tournaments, all the Europeans play together much more than North Americans and Europeans playing together. Similar community aspect on a broader scale. NA seems to play more mixed teams in tournaments than Europeans so that strengthens the community aspect even more.
UK champs, similiar thing in that Manchester and Oxford have played London BFF tourneys and we all travel to play in each others cities.
I agree that the terminology points to political boundaries, maybe they should be called the 'This Side Championships' and the 'That Side Championships' and the 'All Sides Championships'. Maybe the 'Pasty English Speaker's Championships'?
