To begin my report, I will give you some brief history. The first inhabitants of Nicaragua were the Nicaro Indians. This way of life was blended with Spanish settlers when they first came. The name of this tribe was from a great Indian chief, whose name was also Nicaro. This chief was so famous that the country of Nicaragua was also gotten from his name.

Next, I will tell you about the land of Nicaragua. It is located in Central America, and is the largest country there. It is on the continent of North America. Nicaragua is 50,193 square miles (130,000 square kilometers). Honduras borders Nicaragua in the north, and it is bordered by Costa Rica on the south. There are two oceans that border Nicaragua. On the east, there is the Carribean Sea and on the west is the Pacific Ocean.

Nicaragua has many different types of land forms. There are mostly volcanoes, some active, behind the co

Nicaraguans love many of the same sports and eat and do many of the things we do. The national sport in Nicaragua is baseball, and it is the most popular one, followed by soccer, basketball and football. There are some professional teams, but they are not famous in the United States. Another favorite sport is bullfighting. These sports are a few of the many favorite pastimes of Nicaraguans. Other favorite pastimes include cultural activities like pottery, painting, dance, and theater. Nicaraguans also like to listen to music and write short stories. (These are my kind of people!!!) Nicaraguans also love to eat. They mainly enjoy the foods that are grown in their country. Mostly they like fish, coffee, and even pizza! To buy the foods they love, they use a form of money called cordoba, which is divided into 100 centavos. For transportation, most people use mules or oxcarts, carts carried and led by oxen. Most people use the mules because many of the places in Nicaragua cannot be reached by an automobile. The good roads are mostly found in the Pacific region of Nicaragua. The Pan American Highway is the main highway in Nicaragua. Approximately 1 out of every 100 people own an automobile. That is why you don't see any Nicaraguan made cars driving down the highway. Railways are very common, again, in the Pacific Region. There is also a large international airport. Nicaraguans communicate in different ways. One way is by reading the newspaper. There aren't many newspapers, though. The largest and most popular newspaper is the La Presusa. Government operated telephone, telegraph, and postal systems only serve cities and town.

There are lots of people who were famous who live in Nicaragua and people who were only visiting for a short period of time. One American politician helped Nicaragua become independent and helped it survive the Cold War. This man was U.S. president, Ronald Reagan. He did many things and played an honored role. Without President Regan, Nicaragua would not be anywhere near what it is today.
