Belize

Why it sticks

1. 1

   Formerly British Honduras, it is the only Central American country with English as its official language.

2. 2

   The Belize Barrier Reef is the second-largest in the world, and its Great Blue Hole is a giant circular marine sinkhole about 300 m across.

3. 3

   Belmopan was built inland as a new capital after Hurricane Hattie devastated coastal Belize City in 1961.

4. 4

   Its flag is one of very few national flags that show people: two men standing beside a mahogany tree.

• No official car coverage: mostly user photospheres, so it does not appear in standard GeoGuessr maps.
• English signage in a Central American setting, while Spanish is also widely heard and seen.
• Drives on the right, unlike the English-speaking Caribbean islands.
• Flat, swampy coastal lowlands and dense jungle with Maya ruins inland.
