Belize is a small country on the Caribbean coast of Central America, between Mexico and Guatemala, and its six districts are the units its government, its census and its elections are organised around. They run in a row from the Mexican border in the north to the Guatemalan border in the south, and cover the country without a gap.
The districts of today, named as Belize names them. Corozal and Orange Walk fill the north: Corozal is the corner against Mexico and the Bay of Chetumal, and Orange Walk is the larger district beside it, reaching west to Guatemala. Belize District is the coastal middle, with Belize City and the largest of the cayes off the shore. Cayo is the big western district, against Guatemala and the highest ground in the country. Stann Creek and Toledo take the south, Stann Creek along the coast and Toledo in the far south-west corner.
The groups are not an official classification. They are three pairs, taken from north to south, a way to learn the map a piece at a time.
Belize District holds Belize City, the largest city, and the barrier reef cayes, in a district far smaller than the inland ones beside it.
Cayo is the largest district, the whole of the western border with Guatemala, with the capital Belmopan inside it.
Toledo is the last district at the bottom of the country, with the Sarstoon river as its border with Guatemala.
Six, and together they cover the whole of the country, so the game has no territory outside them. The six have been the same since 1970.
Not officially. The three groups here are pairs from north to south, and they are only a way to learn the map.
Belmopan, in Cayo District. Belize City, the largest city and the old capital, is in Belize District.
