Location of Panama

Panama is a country usually considered to be entirely in North America or Central America.[1] Panama's economy, because of its key geographic location, is mainly based on a well developed service sector especially commerce, tourism, and trading. The handover of the Canal and military installations by the United States has given rise to large construction projects.
