COLUMBIA

 The fourth largest country in South America, the Republic of Colombia has coasts on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Lying next to the Isthmus of Panama, which until 1903 was a part of its territory, Colombia is a strategic crossroads in the network of communication between North, Central, and South America. Colombia has an area of about 440,000 square miles (1,140,000 square kilometers), extending for more than 1,100 miles (1,800 kilometers) from north to south and for more than 850 miles (1,370 kilometers) from west to east. It is bounded by the Caribbean on the north, Venezuela and Brazil on the east, Peru and Ecuador on the south, the Pacific on the west, and Panama on the northwest. At its southeastern tip, the Colombia-Peru border is made up of the Amazon River for a distance of 72 miles (116 kilometers). Its only important outlying possession is San Andres and Providencia, a group of islands 500 miles (800 kilometers) from the mainland and only 100 miles (160 kilometers) off the eastern coast of Nicaragua.
