Belmopan is the capital of Belize, a Central American nation and the only one with English as its official language, home to approximately 17,000 residents — one of the world's smallest national capitals by population. It operates on Central Standard Time (CST, UTC-6), a fixed year-round offset. Belmopan replaced Belize City as the capital in 1970, after Hurricane Hattie (1961) devastated the coastal city — it became one of the world's first cities designed specifically to be safe from hurricanes, set inland and elevated. Belize is uniquely positioned in Central America — it has British colonial heritage (formerly British Honduras), English-speaking population, the second-largest coral reef system in the world (the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, second only to Australia's Great Barrier Reef), and extraordinary Maya ruins (Caracol, Lamanai, Xunantunich). The Great Blue Hole — a perfect circular ocean sinkhole 300 metres across and 125 metres deep — made famous by Jacques Cousteau, is one of the world's premier diving sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
