Abstract

Belize, the only Anglophone (English-speaking) country in Central America (previously known as British Honduras), had a population of 312, 698 as of 2010 (Statistical Institute of Belize, 2011). Belize is a very small country, only slightly larger than Massachusetts, with a total area measuring about 22, 966 square kilometers (22, 806 and 160 square kilometers of land and water, respectively). The World Bank also regards Belize as a small, ethnically diverse middle-income country with a stable democracy (World Bank, 2000).
