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!)
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.
