A Capital Built After a Hurricane

Belize moved its capital inland to Belmopan after Hurricane Hattie flattened Belize City in 1961. The new city, begun in 1970, sits about 80 km from the coast and holds around 20,000 people — one of the smallest national capitals in the world.

The clock: Belize keeps UTC−6 and is the only country in Central America where English is the official language.
