Belize is a small country located on the eastern coast of Central America, bordered by Mexico to the north, Guatemala to the west and south, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. It has a population of approximately 400,000 people and is the only country in Central America where English is the official language.
Belize gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1981 and is a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarchy. The country is a member of the United Nations, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and the Central American Integration System (SICA).
The economy of Belize is primarily based on tourism, agriculture, and forestry, with major exports including sugar, bananas, and shrimp. The country is also rich in natural resources, including oil and natural gas.
Belize has a relatively stable political system, but it faces challenges including high levels of poverty and crime, particularly in urban areas. The country is also vulnerable to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes.
Relations with neighboring countries have generally been peaceful, but there have been ongoing border disputes with Guatemala, which claims sovereignty over a large part of Belizean territory. The dispute has been the subject of negotiations for decades, but a resolution has yet to be reached.
