Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America. Its land borders are Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south. Its sea borders are the Caribbean in the east and the Pacific Ocean in the west. Its capital is Managua. Formerly part of Spain (it was claimed by Christopher Columbus in 1502), the country became a republic in 1854. There have been long periods of unrest in the last 200 years, but today Nicaragua has a stable democratic government.
Nicaragua issued its first stamps in 1862.
