The tiny Central American country is home to around 12,000 of the world's most conservative Mennonites, a group of Christians that live in closed communities and shun modern technology including, in some cases, electricity. Dating back to 16th-century Europe, the Protestant sect's members have since moved around the world in search of isolated farmland, and to escape persecution or attempts to integrate them into wider society. Belize's colonies date back to the late 1950s when a group of Canadian Mennonites immigrated there from Mexico. Their arrival followed an agreement with the Belizean government, which offered them land, religious freedom, and exemption from certain taxes (and, as committed pacifists, from military service). In return, the country has enjoyed the fruits of its agriculture. Today, Mennonites dominate Belize's domestic poultry and dairy markets, despite representing less than 4% of the population.
