Latin America today Most South American countries' governments were overthrown by the military. Under these repressive regimes, citizens enjoyed few if any civil liberties. Beginning in the mid-1980's democratic civilian governments had returned to power in a few countries. By the mid-1990's all were governed by elected rulers. Most South American countries now have universal adult suffrage and real democracy.

Central America today Most Central American countries' governments are struggling. Drug trafficking is a HUGE business. Governments must spend millions fighting the drug cartels, while as much as 75% of the nation is too poor to pay any taxes at all. Most governments have high ranking officials connected to drug cartels. Belize is an English speaking gem, as Costa Rica is huge on Eco-tourism.
