> NOTABLE_
- »It has two capitals: Sucre is constitutional, La Paz holds the government.
- »Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, and when a film of water covers it, the largest natural mirror.
- »Bolivia lost its coastline to Chile in 1879 and still maintains a navy on Lake Titicaca.
> BORDERS_
Bolivia touches five neighbours: Argentina to the south, Brazil to the northeast, Chile to the south, Paraguay to the southeast and Peru to the northwest. Directions run from one centre to the other.
> THE CAPITAL_
La Paz is the highest seat of government in the world at around 3,600 m, in a canyon below the El Alto plateau. Sucre remains the constitutional capital and holds the supreme court.
> SCALE_
1,091,017 km² (421,244 sq mi), 27th largest of 198 countries and territories on file, almost exactly the size of Ethiopia.
Population 12,413,315, 79th of 198 on file. That averages 11 per km² (29 per sq mi).
> THE FLAG_
Red for the blood of heroes, yellow for mineral wealth, green for fertility. Bolivia also flies a second official flag, the Wiphala, a 49-square rainbow representing Andean indigenous peoples.
Close enough to Ghana's flag to cost you a guess.
