Obviously the number one problem is government full stop! Everywhere! But a poor developing country like Belize strives to be a 'real' country... by giving speeches at united nations, signs up to trendy UN no plastic charters but with no resources or skills to make it happen... the issues is trying to be a 'full service' government (trying to be like USA, UK or Australia etc) but with no resources or get up and go to enforce or do anything about it... It would be sooo much better if Belizian schools and society taught self reliance, pioneering spirit and a can do mentality... parasitic government would not even get a foothold... as individuals and communities had effective self sufficiency a joke government trying to be like UK would become totally irrelevant....
