Nicaragua is a [[democratic republic]] in Central America. It is the largest nation on the isthmus, but also the least densely populated; thus being similar in size to its smaller neighbours. The country is bordered to the north by the Honduras and to the south by Costa Rica. Its western coast is on the Pacific Ocean, while the east of the country borders on the Caribbean Sea. Nicaragua is one of three countries in the world where abortion is illegal with no exceptions, along with El Salvador and Chile.
