Paraguay

Why it sticks

1. 1

   Paraguay is one of only two landlocked countries in South America, together with Bolivia.

2. 2

   Most people speak the indigenous language Guaraní, which is official alongside Spanish.

3. 3

   Its flag has a different emblem on each side: the national coat of arms on the front and the treasury seal on the back.

4. 4

   The War of the Triple Alliance (1864–1870) killed a huge share of its population. The Itaipú Dam, shared with Brazil, is one of the largest hydroelectric plants in the world.

• No official Street View: only user photospheres, so it does not appear in standard GeoGuessr maps.
• Spanish signage alongside Guaraní, and Guaraní place names such as Itauguá, Ypacaraí and Caacupé.
• Red soil and ladder-like concrete poles similar to southern Brazil. The Chaco in the west is flat dry scrubland.
