More about Panama
Panama borders Costa Rica to the west and Colombia to the east.
Panama comprises the southeastern part of the Central American land bridge including the Archipiélago de las Perlas and other offshore islands. An average 2,000–3,000 m high central mountain range, in which the extinct volcano Barú (at 3,475 m above sea level the highest mountain in the country) lies, divides western Panama into a Pacific and an Atlantic to the Península de Azuero – Caribbean-style room. Beyond the depression traversed by the Panama Canal, it continues in the 400–700 m high Cordillera de San Blas, which runs near the Caribbean coast, while a wider lowland is formed on the Pacific side, especially in the east (Darién landscape).
Administration
Panama is divided into 10 provinces and 5 territories. The territories are autonomous administrative areas of the indigenous peoples. Three of them have provincial status.

Law
At the head of the judiciary is the Supreme Court (Corte Suprema de Justicia), whose 9 judges are appointed by the Cabinet for 10 years and confirmed by Parliament. It is divided into 4 chambers and also takes on the function of a constitutional court. Subordinate to it are higher, district and local courts; In addition to civil and criminal matters, these have their own responsibilities, including: for work, family and competition matters. The 1916 Civil Code is largely Spanish.
Education
Attendance at preschool is compulsory for four to five year olds. There is general compulsory schooling for ages 6 to 15 with free tuition in all pre-university areas of education. The six-year primary school is followed by the two-stage secondary school (3 years each). Successful completion of the first phase (Ciclo común) entitles you to attend vocational and business schools and to train as a primary school teacher. The Ciclo académico is completed with the Bachillerato (university entrance qualification) in the natural sciences, humanities or business. In addition to state schools, there are also private schools at all levels, some of which are organized according to the US school system. However, there are major differences in access to education between urban and rural areas.
Media
The media landscape is determined by private companies. Independent reporting is limited in part by close ties to political parties and stakeholders.
Press: The largest daily newspapers are »La Prensa« (founded in 1980), »El Siglo« (founded in 1985) and »La Crítica libre« (founded in 1925). The oldest daily newspaper is »La Estrella de Panama« (founded in 1853).
News agency: Panama does not have its own news agency.
Broadcasting: There are around 130, mostly commercial, radio stations. The largest of the eleven commercial television stations are Televisora Nacional (TVN, Canal 2) and Telemetro (Canal 13) from Medcom, which also operates the oldest private television station in Panama (founded in 1962) with RPC-TV (Canal 4). The Catholic Fundación para la Educación en la Televisión (FETV, Canal 5) and the state Sistema Estatal de Radio y Televisión (SERTV, Canal 11) have their own TV stations.
Climate
Panama has a tropical climate. While the Caribbean area is always humid under the influence of the trade winds (2,500–4,000 mm precipitation per year), most precipitation falls on the Pacific side in the summer months from May to November (zenith rain from the inner-tropical convergence shifted to the north). In the lowlands they are 1,000–2,000, and above 700 m above sea level they are around 2,500 mm per year; Only the south-east (Darién) is always humid due to monsoon-like westerly winds. The average annual temperature is between 25 and 28 ° C.
Vegetation
The lowland (Tierra caliente) of the Caribbean side including the entire Darién (with a national park as a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is covered by ever-humid tropical rainforest, partly also by mangroves and swamp areas; In the alternately humid Pacific region, on the other hand, there are rain-green wet and dry forests as well as wet savannas.
In the Tierra templada, above 600–700 m above sea level, there is a rain- or evergreen mountain forest, which changes into cloud forest from 2,500 m above sea level. The highest peak regions are occupied by bushes and grass corridors.
