In the US we have a set of aviation regulations all made up by the FAA.

No, but Transport Canada will consult w/ the FAA, and FAA ADs & similar
seem to be applied by TC as well.

There was a short article in the recent TC "Air Safety Letter" about
Canadian pilots busting the Washington, DC TFR - those lucky folks have
not one, but TWO regulatory agencies on their case for those busts...

When in Belize I walked through the capital to the general aviation airport
and talked to a pilot. It turns out that Belize uses the FAA regulations.

That makes sense, for a small country. Belize's Air Regs probably say
something like, "Follow the FAA Regs, except in certain cases as laid out
below..." or similar.
