Panama is one of the 116 countries in Central America in terms of area and its capital is Panama City. With a population of about 4 million and an official Spanish language, it seceded from Spain in 1821 and Colombia in 1903. It is the least populous Spanish-speaking country in Latin America.
Panama is bounded on the north by the Caribbean (Atlantic Ocean), on the east by Colombia, on the south by the Pacific Ocean, and on the west by Costa Rica.
The Republic of Panama, a member of the United Nations and the Organization of American Dense Forests, is a dense mountain range with dense forests that connect Central America to South America.
