Panama has a particular situation


Explanation:
Panama: March 11th is nowhere near the truth. This date has no significance in that country.

Panama became independent from Spain on November 28th, 1821 and shortly thereafter joined "La Gran Colombia". Years later, November 3rd, 1903 (with considerable gunboat diplomacy from the US) this country seceded form that oraganisation.

Independence November 28th, 1821
