Am I on the right track?

You don't need to do anything quite so complicated. If you are having a continent-wide event, you should forget about the official event system altogether.
Once you have decided how your event will work, post a thread in the event forum and take it from there. Some events need people to sign up in advance, like with the
Swimming Olympics, while others rely on people to post global screenshots as with the
Battle for Power.
One thing to consider is that as your event will be outside of the official system, you will have no automated method to prevent cheating, so plan your event well. I would strongly advise looking through old threads in the event forum to see how they were organised and how much of a response they received from the community.
As a final point, I have never heard of an event outside of the official event system that ever turned a profit. There may have been a few where the organiser was too shy to boast of their success, but I think it is safe to say that they are in the minority. Expect to make a loss.
