Central America is a region formed by 6 Latin American countries and one Anglo American nation, (Belize). As an isthmus it connects North America with South America, comprising the following countries (from north to south): Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. The inhabitants of Central America represent a variety of ancestries, ethnic groups, and races, making the region one of a most diverse in the world. Some countries have a predominance of European-Amerindian, or Mestizo, population; some are dominated by inhabitants of European ancestry; and some countries' populations are primarily Mulatto. Black, Asian, and Afro-Amerindian (historically sometimes called Zambo) minorities are also identified regularly. People with mestizo ancestry are the largest single group, and along with people of European or part-European ancestry, they combine to make up approximately 80% of the population,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= CIA — The World Factbook -- Field Listing — Ethnic groups )〕 or even more. Central America, has a population of approximately 40 million in 2007 in an area of 523,780 km², with a 77.3 density of hab/km² although its population is not distributed equally. For example, Belize is larger than El Salvador in area by 1,924 km², but El Salvador has 30 times the population of Belize. Similarly, the population of Costa Rica is greater than that of Panama, though Panama is larger. Guatemala has the largest population with 13,276,517; followed by Honduras at 7,792,854.
