Life Expectancy- The life expectancy for Panama is 75 years. That isnt to long but not to short. Its around the same as America's life expectancy (69). I guess you could say some of this is because there isnt a whole lot of crime in Panama. Which probably means that the people in Panama are pretty nice.

Language- The main language that is spoken in Panama is Spanish. They have a little bit of English and Bilingual. This probably means that there is a lot of hespanic people and a little bit of whites there. If i went there i would probobly have to learn some more spanish.

The industries are made up of construction, brewery, cement materials, and sugar milling. The natural recources that they use is copper mahogany forests, shrimp, and hydropower.

Religion- The main religion is Roman Catholic. But there is quite a lot of Protestant. So most of the people in Panama believe in god and celebrate christmas in December.
