What are the seven countries that make up Central America?

Central America is an isthmus that connects North America to South America, separating the Pacific Ocean to the west from the Caribbean Sea to the east. Its area is 202,200 square miles (523 700 square km) and it extends roughly 1,140 miles (1,835 km) long from the northwest to the southeast. Central America is only about 30 miles wide at its narrowest points, and there is no location on the isthmus that is more than 125 miles away from the sea. Central America has a less populous Caribbean side and a congested Pacific side. The isthmus is made up of Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.

Guatemala has the largest population in Central America, while Nicaragua is the largest country by size.

El Salvador is the most densely-populated country in Central America.

Central America only occupies 0.5% of the world's land surface but is home to more than 7% of its biodiversity.
