| Formerly British Honduras. Belize has a population of 230,000 and is about the size of Massachusetts. Five distinct cultures co-exist: Garinagu (Garifuna), Creole, Mestizo, Mayan and Mennonite. The government while promoting ecotourism is in the process of giving every Belizian 40 acres of farmland. The Cockscomb area is a 102,000 acre nature preserve.
