Obviously.
no it cuts through Panama
Panama is the only country the canal passes through. There was initially interest (a bit of which remains to this day) of building the canal through Nicaragua - there are three proposals being 'floated' around in Nicaragua currently to build a new trans-oceanic passing, but the Panama Canal only goes through Panama.
Panama just completed a major upgrade to the Panama Canal. The 1,200-foot-long COSCO Development was the largest ship to go through the canal. Disney Cruise Line's Disney Wonderis now able to go through the canal.
