The Union of Central American Republics (Spanish: Unión de Republicas Centroamericanas), more commonly known as Central America (Spanish: Centroamerica) and UCAR is a federal republic comprised of seven states, located in the southern tip of continental North America. It is bathed by the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, while bordering Mexico to the north and Granada to the south. Central America is a federal union of states with confederal traits, and the only directorate in the Western Hemisphere.

In the Pre-Columbian era, Central America was inhabited by the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica to the north and west and the Isthmo-Colombian peoples to the south and east. Following the Spanish expedition of Christopher Columbus' voyages to the Americas, Spain began to colonize the Americas. From 1609 to 1821, the majority of Central American territories (except for Panama) were governed by the viceroyalty of New Spain from Mexico City as the Captaincy General of Guatemala. On 15 September 1821, the Act of Independence of Central America was enacted to announce Central America's separation from the Spanish Empire, then peacefully separating from the First Mexican Empire. The first union was deemed unstable, as the country collapsed between 1838 and 1841.

During the Dissolution era, the republics, mostly led by Honduras, tried several times to reunify the countries peacefully. However, in 1855, an Columbian filibuster named William Walker set himself up as President of Nicaragua after conducting a farcical election in 1856, with his presidency lasting less than a year. The coalition of Central American countries sparked new conversations about a reunification, which was eventually led by the military of each country and supported by the Liberals into a confederal-directorial model to represent the interest of the republics equally and diminish political tensions. Great Britain also conceded the Mosquito Coast territory under the Treaty of Belmopan, which heavily favored them.

The alliance between the Armed Forces and the Liberal sectors facilitated the economic development from Central America throughout the 20th century, which was known as the Liberal Union period, responding it to the hegemonic dominion in the political, ideological and economic aspects of liberal philosophy. It would be succeeded by the Reformist Union, which led the union into a more economically progressive Welfare State.

A confederation and a representative democracy, Central America enjoys a favorable position in the Human Development Index, also ranking high on levels of political stability, democratic process and standards of life. It is the fourth most-visited nation in North America, being economically stable. The country is also known by its pacifism, as since 1949, three out of seven republics abolished their military forces, a goal to abolish it entirely until 2050. Central America is also a founding member of the Society of Nations, the North American Union and the Pan American League.
