Paraguay
Paraguay, officially the Republic of Paraguay, is a landlocked country in 
South America. He is bordered by 
Brazil to the North and Northeast, 
Argentina to the South and Southwest, and 
Bolivia to the North and Northwest. He is also the only South American country to recognize the 
Republic of China as the real 
China.
Paraguay’s flag has a front and back, and they both look different. His national days are May 14 and May 15 (Paraguay into getting independence over the night!)
Paraguay was very confident in his early years as an independent country, he believed that he could conquer all South America! But then... The Paraguayan War happened, and he got totally humiliated. He got trauma, very depressing, and is still always saying negative things, he still has PTSD. Today, Paraguay looks like very normal nonexistent buffer state, but if vos into triggering his dark side nde could see the fury of the lion.
History
In 1810 Argentina rebelled against 
Spain and tried to liberate Paraguay, however, he lost and retreated, but Paraguay got independence by himself later. Paraguay's first 
dictator, 
José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, ruled with an iron fist from 1814 to 1840, 
isolating the country from the world and enforcing his own harsh vision of a leftist 
socialist-leaning utopian society, which was more about control than 
Rousseau's ideals (which he claimed to be following), earning him the nickname "El Supremo" for his 
authoritarian grip on power. Rodríguez de Francia weakened the 
Catholic Church and 
colonial elites by imposing new laws, forced mixed-race marriages, isolated Paraguay from South America, and brutally crushed a coup in 1820 by executing or imprisoning its leaders.
After Francia’s death in 1840, Paraguay was ruled by military officers until 
Carlos Antonio López, allegedly Francia’s nephew, took power in 1841. López modernized the country, opened it to foreign trade, signed a non-aggression pact with Argentina, and officially declared Paraguay’s independence in 1842. After his death in 1862, his son, 
Francisco Solano López, continued his father's policies, 
centralizing power and controlling all aspects of public life. The López regime promoted economic self-sufficiency through protectionism, developed the military, and expanded infrastructure. Despite portraying Paraguay as 
democratic, the López family held near-total control. They ruled Paraguay like it’s their personal estate, blurring the lines between public and private life.
