Nicaragua

   Nicaragua’s type of government is Republic. The current leader of Nicaragua is president Daniel Ortega. The President of Nicaragua is both head of state and head of government. Daniel Ortega was born on November 11, 1945, in the mining and ranching town of La Libertad, Nicaragua. Daniel Ortega has been Nicaragua's most internationally famous political figure since the 1980s. He has twice been elected the country's president. In 1984 and again in 2006. From an early age Ortega was a political aspirant with revolutionary leanings, ditching college in 1963 to work with the underground political group called Frente Sandinista de Liberacion Nacional.

    As both the largest country in Central America and the least populated, Nicaragua has the opportunity to enforce environmental protection laws and conserve a relatively large amount of natural resources. However, a variety of forces are driving deforestation and rapidly increasing pollution. Also around 75 percent of Nicaraguan forests have already been transformed into crop and pasture land, and at least 50 percent of that deforestation has occurred since 1950. I don't think I would want to live under this government and also because they have much more economic issues than we have.
