The Spanish claimed us, the British came to cut logwood initially, and with time our beautiful Mahogany. The Spanish were edged out, the colony was settled. That probably doesn't cover everyone, but I think you get the idea. English is the official language and is spoken widely. Spanish comes in second.
Folks are friendly and happy to see visitors.
We are an Independent Democratic Nation. Our political system is based on the British Parliamentary model. The Judiciary also follows the British example. Belize is blessed. Our natural wonders are bountiful, and the numerous archaeological sites bear witness to our rich Mayan past.
