The Federal Republic of Central America (Republica federal de Centroamérica) was short-lived: established in 1824 from the United Provinces of Central America, it was dissolved in November 1839 following the secession of its main constituent states. It comprised Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Chiapas (now part of Mexico), and Los Altos (in 1838).
