Ricardo Maduro
President

Honduras

(pronounced "ree-CAR-doh mah-DURE-oh")

"I won't just simply run the nation, but reform it with more democracy, transparency and equality for all, especially those with less."

The Republic of Honduras is bounded on the north by the

Caribbean Sea, on the west by Guatemala, on the southwest by El Salvador, and on the southeast by Nicaragua. The northern coast measures 820 km (509 mi). In the south there is limited access to the Pacific Ocean through the Choluteca River and the Gulf of Fonseca. More than 75% of the country is mountainous, with the highest mountain reaching 2,800 m (9,200 ft).
