Panama makes some sense, because of the loch system.

It helps to know the history of Panama. Namely, how it exists because an independence group was sponsored by the US to break away from Honduras, because that group would then give the US better terms for using the soon-to-be-constructed canal.

Each ship that passes takes a lot of their drinking water, and they don’t need to bomb ships to stop them passing.

Ask Noriega about that.
