Happy Birthday, Belize!

You're 26 years old today!

Funny to think that my sister's older than my country by a month.

I'll drink a Rum & Coke to that.

Not being a geography major, what did Belize USED to be? I mean, it HAD to be something before, right? It didn't just suddenly appear on the map....

Duh, everybody knows that British Honduras was the former name of what is now the independent nation of Belize and was a British colony on the east coast of Central America, adjacent to the southeast of Mexico. First settled by Spaniards in the seventeenth century, it became a British crown colony from 1871 through 1964, when it became self-governing. Belize became fully independent from the United Kingdom in 1981. Belize was the last continental possession of the United Kingdom in the Americas.

And before that we were a member of the United Mayan Emirates.

I think we're still more of a playground for England's wealthy, but the American population is steadily growing there too.

I don't know what that is, but it sounds retarded, so I am sad.
