All the mugs I have, sold, or handled I have always seen "made in china" on the bottom.\n\nI would start off with China Wholesalers first.\n\nDollar store wholesalers I never find much with them past bubble gum machine junk.\n\nYou might try just shopping at the stores and try to find an address, dot com or something on a mug and go from there.  Many times I have found products by going backwards up the tree.

The history of the Panama Canal goes back to 16th century. After realizing the riches of Peru, Ecuador, and Asia, and counting the time it took the gold to reach the ports of Spain, it was suggested c.1524 to Charles V, that by cutting out a piece of land somewhere in Panama, the trips would be made shorter and the risk of taking the treasures through the isthmus would justify such an enterprise. A survey of the isthmus was ordered and subsequently a working plan for a canal was drawn up in 1529. The wars in Europe and the thirsts for the control of kingdoms in the Mediterranean Sea simply put the project on permanent hold.

Panama is definitely considered a Central American nation.  Anything below Panama is considered South America.  The country of Panama was once owned by its' South American neighbor of Colombia until the United States helped this territory break away from Colombia for economic reasons that benefited both the US and Panamanians (so we could build the Panama Canal)in the early 1900's.  As for both Turkey and Russia, both these countries are considered (East) European nations but, in fact, do span both continents Europe and Asia.

Oil workers (pipeline, refinery workers)\nfarmers (bananas)\nshrimp boat fishermen (like Forrest Gump)\nEcuador is also famous for Panama Hats - so hat making\n\nThe following is from Wikipedia:\nThe economy of Ecuador is based on petroleum production, money transfers from nearly a million ecuadorian emigrants employed abroad, and exports of bananas, shrimp, and other primary agricultural products. In 2002, oil accounted for about one-third of public sector revenue and 40% of export earnings. Ecuador is the world's largest exporter of bananas ($936.5 million in 2002) and a major exporter of shrimp ($251 million in 2002). Exports of nontraditional products such as flowers ($291 million in 2002) and canned fish ($333 million in 2002) have grown in recent years. Industry is largely oriented to servicing the domestic market.
