Yes, Panama and the panama canal zone ARE the same!
The Panama Canal Zone is in North Dakota.
Panama Canal Zone was created in 1903.
Panama Canal Zone ended in 1979.
Panama Canal Zone's motto is 'The Land Divided, The World United'.
Panama gained ownership of the canal zone in 1999.
Panama is in the Eastern Standard Time Zone, same as Miami and New York. But Panama doesn't have (or need) daylight savings time, so in the summer, they are in Central time.
The Panama Canal Zone is a 553 sq mi area in Panama consisting of the Panama Canal and 5 miles on either side of it excluding the cities of Colon and Panama City. It was controlled by the United States from 1903-1979.
The canal zone is the area that includes the Panama Canal and a 5 mile radius on both sides. It is located in the central part of Panama.
