Detailed Country Guide
Overview and identity
Honduras, officially listed here as Republic of Honduras, is structured as a practical country reference guide for users searching country facts, maps, flags, codes, and daily-use data. The page should make Honduras, HN, HND, the flag, the official name, and the country slug easy to confirm because users often land on country pages while checking identifiers for forms, travel, education, or data products. Honduras is grouped under Americas, more specifically Central America, with North America shown as the continent context.
Geography and population scale
The country dataset records a population of 9,571,352 people and a land area of 112,492 square kilometers, which gives an approximate density of 85 people per square kilometer. The main coordinate reference is 15, -86.5, while the capital coordinate reference is 14.1, -87.22. Honduras shares listed land borders with GTM, SLV, NIC, and the landlocked value is recorded as no. These details help the page answer common searches around location, area, borders, map position, and population comparison.
Capital and urban network
The capital information is recorded as Tegucigalpa (primary). The largest city entries shown for this country are Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula, Choloma, La Ceiba and Ciudad Choluteca. Including cities alongside country-level facts helps the guide answer searches such as largest cities in Honduras, capital of Honduras, and major urban areas in Honduras. This is useful because many users compare the official capital with the largest business, transport, or population centers.
Government, classification, and memberships
The government type is listed as Unitary presidential republic. The classification fields mark sovereignty as yes, United Nations membership as yes, observer status as no, and disputed status as no. International memberships shown for this page include United Nations. These fields support search intent around political status, country classification, and international organization membership.
Administrative formats and daily-use data
Honduras uses calling code +504, postal format @@####, and time zone data listed as UTC-06:00. The number format uses . as the thousands separator and , as the decimal separator. The week starts on monday; the academic year starts around Feb 1; the government fiscal year starts around Jan 1; and the personal fiscal year starts around Jan 1.
Currency, language, transport, and references
Currency data lists HNL - Honduran lempira (L), while language records include Spanish. Vehicle data records the driving side as right and vehicle sign codes as HN. Reference links should keep official, Wikipedia, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMap sources together when available so users can move from the structured country guide to map or source pages quickly. The latest Gini entry in the dataset is 45.7 for 2024.
How to use this profile
This Honduras profile is designed to be scanned in layers: first the name, official name, flag, capital, population, area, and density; then identity, geography, cities, governance, memberships, formats, connectivity, currency, languages, transport, and references. That structure supports both human readers and product workflows where users need to verify a phone code, compare cities, inspect fiscal dates, check postal formats, review memberships, or open a map reference without searching across multiple pages.
