how come the Panama flag is missing from your click a flag?

Please excuse the tardiness of this ask! And as for Panama not being included: although geographically Panama is part of Central America, historically Panama is actually part of South America. Cartographers generally include Panama geographically within Central America (because of its location), but historians will (correctly) argue that Panama's history is more closely aligned with South America. As such, Panama is not included.

We want to tell all the people of El Salvador that it is certain that we live in uncertain times. What awaits us in 1980?  Will this be a time of civil war?  Will this be a year of total destruction? Have we not merited the mercy of God with so much bloodshed —- blood that has been shed as the result of hatred, repression and violence?  In light of the uncertainty of the uture, may God have  mercy on us.

Nicaragua Pacific coast

If it’s natural beauty you are after, Nicaragua is the jewel of this stretch of coast. Along Central America’s Pacific coast you’ll find rocky outcrops, world-class surf, and some of the most jaw-dropping views in the world. The blue seas, white sand beaches and alluring winter sun of the Caribbean don’ t have to cost the earth. The Pacific coastline in Nicaragua holds some beautiful beaches with a variety of characteristics; from sandy to rocky, from calm current to strong and several high feet waves. Other beaches is untouched by men while others are popular.
