2. Where is Panama located?
Panama is the southernmost country of both Central America and, in turn, North America. Situated on the isthmus connecting North and South America, it is bordered by Costa Rica to the northwest, Colombia to the southeast, the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south. The capital is Panama City.

3. Flag, Motto, Anthem:
With a motto like ‘Go Hard or Go Home’, its clear that Panama is doing all he can to get a strong grip in entertainment, with no plans of letting go and returning home any time soon. Panama's hunger for becoming a driving force in Hollywood has only been enhanced by goals to become a triple threat in the entertainment industry. He is constantly developing his own brand " Its Panama Baby," and looking to live through people with his words, music or personality.

4. Sports:
While some of the tourists visit Panama for its natural beauty, some visit it for sports. Panama Sports include basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, boxing, golf, cycling, horse racing and many more. Some of the most famous international players hail from this country. If the nail biting episode of Panama football or basketball has exhausted all the energy, a mild stroke of golf can prove to be the best way of relaxation. The Panama soccer, basket ball and baseball teams have competed nationally and internationally and have won numerous titles.

5. Government and Politics:
Panama is a representative democracy with three branches of government: executive and legislative branches elected by direct, secret vote for 5-year terms, and an independent appointed judiciary. The executive branch includes a president and two vice presidents. The legislative branch consists of a 72-member unicameral Legislative Assembly. The judicial branch is organized under a nine-member Supreme Court and includes all tribunals and municipal courts.
