About Guatemala
Also from Wikipedia:
Guatemala, officially the Republic of Guatemala, is a country in Central America bordered by Mexico to the northwest, the Pacific Ocean to the southwest, Belize and the Caribbean Sea to the northeast, and Honduras and El Salvador to the southeast.
The largest and most populous nation in Central America, Guatemala is best known for its historical role as a major seat of Pre-Columbian cultures, particularly the Mayans. Numerous sites of major archaeological significance have been discovered, including the ruins of the ancient city of Tikal. .... Other than tourism, Guatemala's economy depends largely upon agriculture, with coffee and sugar among its main exports.
Guatemala is a representative democracy with its capital at Guatemala City. Although the nation has been relatively stable since 1996, Guatemala's recent history has been plagued by civil war and military coups, which have slowed the nation's development.
Large portions of Guatemala's interior remain wholly undeveloped, including the nation's many rainforests and wetlands.
