Of course, since Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras all were the same country. That's also why their flags are so similar: a white strip of land between two blue oceans. The Federal Republic of Central America declared their "absolute independence from Spain, Mexico, and any other foreign nation". It's quite interesting that in the years between 1821 and 1823 both Spain and the recently independent Mexican Empire laid claims to Central America. The 15th of September is just a curious coincidence, as Mexico celebrates the September of 1810, and Central American countries the September of 1821.
