Hello and good evening! I hope you night is going terrific! I am excited to learn about Nicaragua. I have heard about it, but I have no knowledge about it and that is why I need you! What can you tell me about Nicaragua? 
 Well, hello there! Nicaragua has the two largest fresh water lakes in Central America--Lake Managua and Lake Nicaragua. 
 Good facts! Great way to start! Let's chat more about the geography. What else can you tell me? 
 The southwest side of Lake Nicaragua is only 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean. 
 Well that's not too far. What else do you know about the geography? 
 There are talks to build a canal that would link the Pacific and Atlantic in Nicaragua. 
 Is there a reason for this link? 
 Yes, to give the country economic 'independence.' 
 Very nice! Since we are talking about economics, what else can you tell me about the economy? 
 Out of 29 countries in the Americas, it is ranked 14th for the freest economy. 
 Has it always been a free economy? 
 Sorry, I don't know that exact answer, but the Heritage Foundation rated Nicaragua as 62.7% free in 2007 citing there was high levels of fiscal, government, labor, investment, financial and trade freedom. 
 Very nice! Any other information about the economics or the geography and climate? 
 In 2007, Poland wrote off $30.6 million in debt that Nicaragua incurred during the 80s. 
 Well, you have been most helpful tonight! Thank you! 
 My pleasure.
