Map of Nicaragua

Reprinted from WeatherHub Website

 

The Republic of Nicaragua is situated in Central America. Nicaragua began free market reforms in 1991 after 12 years of economic free-fall under the Sandinista regime. Despite this growing economy, Nicaragua remains the second-poorest nation in the hemisphere. Freedom of speech is a right guaranteed by the Nicaraguan constitution and vigorously exercised by its people. Diverse viewpoints are freely and openly discussed in the media and in academia. There is no state censorship in Nicaragua.
