Belize -- the country formerly known as British Honduras -- is a nice place to visit. The United Nations supported the people of Belize in 1975, and asked Britain and Guatemala to figure things out. They did, and independence came in 1981. Belize is home to hundreds of species of colourful birds, some of which are celebrated on their coins.
