The Panamá Thread

i know nothing about you, but i guess you're poor and brown like your neighbors

>>68157832
Are you rich?

>>68157832
Why does one of your regions have the same name as the country?

Two questions:
1) are you still bitter about Sacyr scamming you?
2) have you finally learned not to start any business with Spanish """businessmen"""?

>>68157832
Are you still mad at us?

They are as brown as the dominican republic(in the sense that their browness comes from africans instead of amerindians) but they are definitely not poor.

Looks damn good. If central america was a country this would be the financial center of the country by far.

Is Mariano Rivera a hero?

The most important part and the one that produces almost all of the GDP is the interoceanic region (Around the canal):
>Provinces of Panamá, Colón, and Panamá Oeste.
>The canal.
>Logistic hub (Ports in both oceans, Train that connects both ports, Highway that connects both oceans)
>Hub de las Americas (Aeropuerto de Tocument, home of Copa Airlines)
>Financial services (Financial center with more than 90 banks)
>Only mayor city in the country (Ciudad de Panamá)
>More than half of the population lives here.

Coclé:
>Cool province with somewhat mountainous regions and nice beaches.
>Penonomé is the capital of the province with somewhat cool weather.
>Antón is near the beaches. The Valle de Antón is a small town with a mountainous weather.
>Natá and Aguadulce are other important towns in the province.

Azuero:
>Provinces of Herrera and Los Santos are the more Hispanic with a population of mainly European ancestry.
>The economy here is based on livestock.
>Even thought, with the exception of a few towns, life is rural; standards of living are pretty high here.
>Chitré, capital of Herrera, is the biggest city in Azuero.
>La Villa de Los Santos is small town in Los Santos with great historical importance.
>Las Tablas, capital of Los Santos.
>Pedasí is a very touristic town with beautiful beaches.
>Guararé is another interesting town in Los Santos.

>>68158958
Good. A least you arent part of gran colombia now.

>>68157972
1) No, because at least we are not paying them as much as they want.
2) I wish. Sacyr is still competing in biddings for different infrastructure projects.

>>68157944
Because it is the part of the country that matter economically speaking.

Man, just think about we... we would be THE most beautiful country in the whole fucking world.

Oldest city in the Pacific coast of the Americas. Founded in 1519.

>>68157832
Could Panama City be considered a first world city? Judging from the pics I see here it seems very developed

>>68157832
Do you love being an American puppet ?
How different is panama spanish from neutral spanish ?

>>68163005
Some parts could pass as first world. Nevertheless, there are still some poor areas and even slums. Now then, there are not as much as you would find in other countries in the region and there are a lot of social programs that intent to decrease the amount of this areas.

>>68157832
Who would Panama most likely side with: USA, Russia, EU or China?

>>68163253
1) pic related
2) The Panamanian spanish is a variant of the caribbean spanish. So not too different.

>>68163556
Most likely the U.S.
The history of the Panama-US relationships are kinf of a big deal here.

>>68163636
Doesn't China invest a lot?

>>68163563
But USA takes your canal after your independence

>>68163556
U.S no doubt. They invest a lot in Panama.
Nicaragua is the one with more russian investment. And Costa Rica has more chinese investment now that intel is gone(wich contrubuted to like 20% of their gdp). The rest of central america is the whore of the u.s. including panama and guatemala.

>>68163684
We do have a lot of comarcial relationships, and their shipping companies use the canal a lot. But we recognize Taiwan as an indipendent nation, so we do not have diplomatic relationships with mainland China.

>>68165495
It is quite ugly desu. It is not that it is poor or insecure, it is lack of maintenance. Never the less, it should look a lot nicer in the near future. It is worth mantion that the border is completly demilitarized and people can pretty much just cross it.

>>68166604
Somewhat conservative/catholic society. Historicaly Panama is more secular, but lately it is not like that.

are there a lot of jobs? in what industries?

>>68167178
here is a render.

When is the new canal going to complete?

With the one (and now/soon? two) canals and offshore banking, it seems like a lot of Panama's monetary economy is externally based. Is that true? Are there any real internal businesses? Panama is probably too small to have its own economy really.

>>68167162
Well Panama's unemployment is under 6%.
Mainly the financial sector. Panama is a country whose economy relies mainly on services, not so much in industry.

>>68167325

The third set of locks is already completed. >>68164218

The off shore thing is like 6% of the financial sectror's contribution to the PIB, so not that important.
But, yes. Businesses in Panama are mainly services, like banks and law firms.

>>68169242
Neat. Thanks for responding.

>>68157832
i dont know mang, panama is not very interdasting, its like any other centralamerican country, my dick is more interested in medellin, colombia, you know? gggg

why does the Ruta Panamericana stop in the Darien? perhaps this should be a question for Colombians. It is the only reason why you cant drive from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.

What does Panama think of the U.S.?

>>68169534
It is complicated. But it is mainly do to the violent situation in that region of Colombia.

>>68169673
It sure depends on who you ask. But generally, panamenas are favorable towards the U.S.

Does it bother you when English speakers forget the 'á' in your country's name? In other words, do you see it as a sign of slight disrespect?

What about speakers of Latin languages (who are more likely to have access to the á on their keyboard) - is your answer to the above question different for those peoples?

>>68172677
I don't really care that much. In any case, I would see it as an orthographic error.
