Belize is the only officially English-speaking country in Central America. Belize was a British colony for more than a century and was known as British Honduras until 1973. It became an independent nation within The Commonwealth in 1981. Belize is a member of the Caribbean Community and the Sistema de Integración Centroamericana (SICA) and considers itself to be culturally both Caribbean and Central American. With 8,867 square miles of territory and slightly less than 300,000 people, the population density is the lowest in the Central American region and one of the lowest in the world. However, the country’s growth rate is 3.5%.
