About Nicaragua
Nicaragua is a republic that gained its independence from Spain in 1821. Over 5.3 million people live in Nicaragua. Spanish is the official language, but English and Amerindian-speaking minorities may be found along the Atlantic coast. The two main religious groups are Roman Catholic (85%) and Protestant (5%). The west coast region, containing 90% of the population, is Mestizo, Catholic and Latino, while the east coast has a smaller, scattered population and multiplicity of Indian, Creole and Latino groups.
