Guatemala is the most populous nation of Central America with 13 million inhabitiants. Interestingly enough, it held this same honor in the early pre-Colombian period over 2,000 years ago. At that time, the state of El Mirador was the most populous area in all of the Americas, and had a pyramid that was the largest in the world, with a cubic volume greater than the Great Pyramid of Giza, in Egypt.
