a century and was known as British Honduras until 1973. It became an
independent nation in 1981. Belize is a small nation on the eastern
coast of Central America on the Caribbean Sea bordered by Mexico to
the northwest and Guatemala to the west and south. The country is a
parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy which recognizes
Queen Elizabeth II as Sovereign. The name is shared by the Belize
River and Belize City, the former capital and largest city.
