Belize

Formerly British Honduras, Belize is situated on the east coast of Central America bordering the Caribbean Sea between Guatemala and Mexico.
For 4,000 years, Belize formed the keystone of the Mayan Empire whose advanced culture flourished even as the first shipwrecked British seamen landed.

A parliamentary democracy, Belize was granted independence from the United Kingdom in 1981. The Queen of England is represented by a Governor General who acts as Head of State and the Prime Minister is the Head of Government.
There is a bicameral national assembly. The capital is Belmopan, and Belize is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the UN the FAO and IMO.

Agricultural products (sugar, citrus fruits and bananas) are the main exports, though tourism and fishing are gaining in importance. Belize has the second largest barrier reef in the world. It represents a major attraction for those interested in diving, snorkeling, sports fishing and marine studies. English is the official language, and the United States is the main trading partner. The unit of currency is the Belize dollar whose exchange rate with US dollar is fixed at USD 1 = BZD 2.
