El Salvador is a Central American country officially known as the Republic of El Salvador. It is bordered by Honduras to the northeast, Guatemala to the northwest, and the Pacific Ocean to the south. The nation's capital and largest city is San Salvador, and its population is estimated to be approximately 6 million people.
The country is notable for being the smallest and most densely populated nation in Central America. It has a significant cultural and economic influence in the region, with an economy historically driven by agriculture, remittances, and manufacturing.
Recently, El Salvador has gained international attention for its pioneering national policy on cryptocurrency. It made history as the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, a move that continues to shape its financial strategy and global profile.
This policy has kept El Salvador in the news, with recent reports indicating the government has made further substantial purchases of Bitcoin during a period of market volatility. Concurrently, the country's national football team has also been featured in sports coverage for its participation in World Cup qualifying matches.
