That's an awful lot to put together for 7th grade!
It looks like a human appendix. It has a canal.
A friend of mine was born in a military hospital on a US base in Panama. He is thereby a dual US-Panamanian citizen. (He's more like a Panamaniac.)
What are "human characteristics" in the context of a country? Population demographics? Man-made landmarks? Cultural stereotypes?

Anyway, down in that area is a country that has no army.
Imagine that.
