User:Central Americas

The Central Americas is the southern region of The North Americas, beginning south of the Gulf of Mexico (the exact location is defined variously) and ending at the border between Panama and Colombia. In the most common definition, it consists of the nations between Mexico and Colombia:


 * Belize
 * Costa Rica
 * El Salvador
 * Guatemala
 * Honduras
 * Nicaragua
 * Panama

It may also be defined geographically as a large isthmus, and in this sense it includes the portion of Mexico east of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, namely the Mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo. The UN economic subregion of The Central Americas includes all mainland states of The North Americas south of the United States, including Mexico, while the European Union sees the region as including Panama but excluding Belize and Mexico.
