->Like those of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua, the Honduran flag reuses the design and colors of the flag of the Federal Republic of Central America, to which they once belonged, albeit in this case the colors also had unique symbolism -- the blue upper and lower stripes symbolize both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, while the white stripe in the middle stands for the country straddling between both oceans. The colors can also symbolize fraternity and peace, respectively. At the center are five blue stars, symbolizing the former components of the Central American federation as well as the hope for its rebirth.

Right now, Honduras has stabilized most of its economy and adopted a more efficent structure to bring investors. However, due to the presence of regional criminal gangs and South American drug cartels, many of its poorest neighborhoods have become [[WretchedHive crime-ridden slums where finding a fresh corpse has become common occurence]]. Also, their political scene is full of corruption, nepotism and censored repression that has been tolerated by the United States for one reason or another. This has led to a bigger economic gap between the rich and the poor that it's not helped with their bigger population and urban-to-rural ratio in comparison with it's neighbors (excluding UsefulNotes/{{Nicaragua}}).
