Mixed Economy: Nicaragua officially the Republic of Nicaragua is a representative democratic republic and the largest nation in Central America, with the capital city Managu The name 'Nicaragua' seems to have meant 'surrounded by water' in an older, indigenous language that mixed with Spanish. Nicaragua is a country in Central America, bordering both the Caribbean Sea and the North Pacific Ocean, between Costa Rica and Honduras. Nicaragua is located at the intersection of N and W. One of the strongest influences on the culture of Nicaragua is the Spanish culture, which was infused into Nicaragua beginning in the 1500s when the Spanish Conquistadors came to the New World from Spain and conquered many lands, including what is now Nicaragu The Indian civilization was destroyed physically and culturally by the Spanish, and the Spanish culture became the dominant influence. In the recent years politics have been tumultuous in Nicaragu Violent opposition to governmental manipulation and corruption spread to all classes by 1978 and resulted in a short-lived civil war that brought the Marxist Sandinista guerrillas to power in Nicaraguan aid to leftist rebels in El Salvador caused the US to sponsor anti-sandinista contra guerrillas through much of the 1980s. Free elections in 1990, 1996, and 2001, saw the Sandinistas defeated, but voting in 2006 announced the return of former Sandinista President Daniel ORTEGA Saavedr Nicaragua's infrastructure and economy - hard hit by the earlier civil war and by Hurricane Mitch in are slowly being rebuilt. Nicaragua has widespread underemployment, one of the highest degrees of income inequality in the world, and the third lowest per capita income in the Western Hemisphere. While the country has progressed toward macroeconomic stability in the past few years, annual GDP growth has been far too low to meet the country's needs, forcing the country to rely on international economic assistance to meet fiscal and debt financing obligations. The US-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) has been in effect since April 2006 and has expanded export opportunities for many agricultural and manufactured goods. Tourism in Nicaragua is currently the second largest industry in the nation, over the last 7 years tourism has grown about 70% nationwide with rates of 10%-16% annually. The majority of tourists that visit Nicaragua are from the U.S., Central or South America, and Europe. Ecotourism and surfing attract many tourists to Nicaragu According to TV Noticias (news program) on Canal 2, a Nicaragua television station, the main attractions in Nicaragua for tourists are the beaches, scenic routes, the architecture of cities such as León and Granada and most recently ecotourism and agritourism, particularly in Northern Nicaragua 13.
