Honduras
Honduras is a large nation of northern Central America. The capital is Tegucigalpa.Background: Part of Spain's vast empire in the New World, Honduras became a state of the nation of Central America in 1821, and became an independent republic at the demise of the union in 1840.
After two and one-half decades of mostly military rule, a freely elected civilian government came to power in 1982. During the 1980s, Honduras proved a haven for anti-Sandinista contras fighting the Nicaraguan government and an ally to Salvadoran government forces fighting against leftist guerrillas.

Economy - overview: Honduras spent 1999 primarily recovering from Hurricane Mitch[?], which killed more than 5,000 people and caused about $3 billion in damage. Although it is slated to receive about $2.76 billion in international aid, the economy shrank 3% with widening current account and fiscal deficits in 1999. It nevertheless met most of its macroeconomic targets. Honduras may also get relief from its $4.4 billion external debt under the Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative.
