The southernmost Central American state. More so than any other nation in Central America, Panama is a product of its strategic location. Its history, culture, economy, and political relations with regional neighbors and the United States are largely derived from this circumstance. Extending in an undulating arclike fashion for a distance of 480 miles (772 kilometers) from the South American mainland nation of Colombia on the east to Costa Rica on the west, Panama rarely exceeds a width of more than 75 miles (120 kilometers). It encompasses an area of 28,753 square miles (74,470 square kilometers). Whereas the northern Caribbean shoreline is relatively straight, the Pacific margin is interrupted by a number of peninsulas, and a number of island groups lie offshore.
