Personality:


Belize is one country you should never underestimate. At first glance she appears chill but as soon as you spy that smirk in her mouth, be prepared. She is a very confident girl that knows how to take care of herself. After all, her childhood with Mr. England was a very lax one considering he had other countries/colonies to deal with. Because of that she has a very naughty mischievous streak that's hard to suppress. She's honest though, if you can gain her respect. If not, you will be summarily ignored. Hard-working, the strength of ten men, and very much vocal, it'll be very hard to forget about Belize.

Now if you annoy her or piss her off, whoo boy. When angry, Belize will kick your ass without a hint of regret. If you annoy her, be prepared for her to tell you to bugger off in a not so nice way. She's very witty and savvy with her environment, be it in the country side, city, jungle, or beach! Belize is known for having a great time. A bundle of energy, you'd find that hanging out with her will always be an interesting experience and even fun. Her laughter is infectious and her brazenness leaves many kind of awed of her. She'll remind you a bit of a pirate sometimes, especially with her sailor language but rest assured, Belize knows when exactly to behave and be polite. She's not stupid after all, just a little foolish sometimes. 

A surprisingly conservative girl, you will occasionally find Belize in moments of seriousness. She gets passionate about things very easily so don't be shocked when she persists and insists. She will respect you if you respect her and her opinions and take her seriously as a person and country, first and foremost. If she finds you an honest and friendly fellow, consider yourself golden. Belize loves making friends so don't be afraid to approach her! 

She senses your fear :XD:

Appearances:


Vanessa appears very young, almost 14-15-16, depending on her mood. This is mostly due to the fact that she has recently declared herself free from England while remaining a common wealth. She looks very mulatto except her hair is a lighter shade then her skin, leaning more towards the brown side. Its very long, having grown it out to appear more feminine, but almost afro-textured. Her eyes are almond shaped, nose a little flat, bottom lip just a tinge bigger then her the upper, cheekbones visible when tightening her jaw or smiling too much and lastly she sports a nice long neck. Vanessa has amber colored eyes which represents her Mayan heritage at its peak in history, right before they disappeared. Because of her commonwealth status and long entwining history with England, Vanessa has the infamous thick bushy eyebrows. Thankfully they are shaped in a very feminine way, looking very much so like a stretched out flat "z".

Vane's body is very slender, almost boyish; the exception being her bum. Her hips are slightly bigger but chest is definitely flat, an A-cup. Of course we can blame that on the lack of female equality and representation in Belize and low population density (if you want to be kind of course //slapped). Her limbs are toned due to her military and her own physical activities. Her height is 160 cm (5'3') making her small but still bigger then say Ana Sophia (Honduras), Raquel (Mexico) or Alejandra (Mexico).

Geography:


Belize is a small country but a lot bigger then El Salvador or Wales. It borders not only the Caribbean Sea but also Mexico via Yucatan and Guatemala. Its rectangle shaped of 22,960 square kilometres (8,865 sq mi), its coastline almost bordering its reef, the second-largest in the world. Its mainly divided between the Hondo and Sarstoon Rivers. The north side consists mostly of swampy coastal plains, some places being heavily forested. The south mostly has mountains due to the Maya Mountains. The highest point is Doyle's Delight at 1,124 m (3,688 ft).

Because of its rugged terrain and obscure jungle, Belize has made it to America's narcotraffic hotspot list.

History:


Bruh, its on...

Bullet; Red Pre-Colonial Belize - Before the European colonization even began, the Mayans were the most prominent tribe in the area. They mostly settled within the mountains and jungles, leaving the coast alone. Once apart of the Maya's epitome of greatness, Belize got more mayas once the empire started to decline. They got even more mayas once the Spanish started conquering Guatemala and massacring its indigenous tribe as well, more of them beginning to settle in the coast. But besides that, Belize was relatively peaceful, knowing little outside the Mayan influence. 

Dark Blue Bullet - F2U! Who's Conquering Who Exactly? - As the Spanish conquered Mexico and South America, they extended their influence and forces to subdue the resistance in Honduras and Guatemala. They attempted to do the same to the Belize area when they met stiff resistance from the Mayan provinces of Chetumal and Dzuluinicob. Belize soon became a place of refuge from the Spanish invasion, but the escaping Maya brought diseases with them that they contracted from the Spanish, thus causing a devastating decrease in the remaining Maya population. Then, in the middle of the 17th century, some British pirates settled among logwood forests on the coast of the Bay of Honduras which will later be called the Settlement of Belize. Various bands of ship-wrecked sailors, buccaneers, and pirates soon established permanent bases in Belize, harassing the Spanish for their valuables being shipped to Europe. Logging would later become the main dominant occupation for these rugged individuals who took to calling themselves "Baymen" after the Bay of Honduras (Belize's first former name). Spain continually attempted to get rid of the British buccaneers from their territory but in the end finally signed treaties in 1763 and 1786 allowing the British to continue to harvest the wood in exchange for protection against pirates preying on the Spain's galleons. 

Bullet; Red Colonial Belize - Due to the demanding wood cutting jobs and the little bit of population they had to do the job, the British began bringing in slaves from Jamaica and Bermuda during the 1724 to 1838's. It was around the 1840's that Britain finally declared British Honduras (Belize's second former name) one of its colonies. It became more organized and multi-ethnic through some cultural changes, allowing its European settlers to marry the freed slaves forming the Creole majority that to this day is still dominant in the population. Soon after the Garifunas from the Bay Islands of Honduras (Spanish Honduras) started to emigrate to Belize. In 1841 Dangriga, the Garifuna's largest settlement, was a village that flourished like no other. Unfortunately, they still weren't treated any better from the British as they were only considered as labor force.

Dark Blue Bullet - F2U! Independence - Believe it or not, like Canada, Belize gained its independence from Britain without bloodshed. On September 21 in 1981, Belize was finally its own nation. The lateness was mostly due to Guatemala's claim to Belize's territory when Britain had signed the treaty with them. The struggle to make it though was an intense and worrying one since not one of the main Spanish speaking countries had voted in Belize's favor. Even America was supporting Guatemala's claim by abstaining its participation. Belize was determined to sway votes with its Latin countries, particularly Central America whom shares historical and economical ties. The first country to have really saved Belize's keester was actually Panama, their General Omar Torrijos supporting Belize's claim. He will forever be endeared in every Belizean's heart. Because of Panama, Venezuela, even Nicaragua and soon Mexico started to vote for Belize. Guatemala's claim was cracking with each vote. The real deal breaker was America's vote. After international pressure kicked in and America voted for Belize, no one voted against.

Bullet; Red Modern Belize - Belize has come a long way from what it used to be, but its past roots and historical ties make up this great country. Never should you underestimate Belize for there is more to it then meets the eye. Today, though Belize suffers from violent crimes and drug trafficking, its still a relatively peaceful country determined to pave a bright future that will continue to incorporate its mixed heritage.

Since its Independence, relations with America have been close and cordial, thanks to America standing by Belize's claim. America is Belize's biggest trading partner, no surprise there, and also home to the largest community of Belizeans. Both are working together to address the faults of their citizens' security and transnational crimes.
