El Salvador (in Nahuat, Kuskatan), officially the Republic of El Salvador, is a sovereign country in Central America located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, with a territorial area of 21,041 km². In 2021, it had an estimated population of 6 803,023 inhabitants according to an estimate made by the General Directorate of Statistics and Censuses in the company of ECLAC, and had an approximate demographic density of 323 inhabitants/km², which makes it the most densely populated country on the American continent, without include some islands in the Caribbean Sea. Its climate is warm tropical, but due to the geographical contrast the climate can vary. El Salvador borders Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the north and east, to the southeast the Gulf of Fonseca separates it from Nicaragua, and is flanked to the south by the Pacific Ocean. Its territory is organized into 14 departments, 262 districts and 44 municipalities. San Salvador is the capital and the most populated city in the country; Its metropolitan area includes 14 nearby districts, and concentrates the political and economic activity of the republic. The cities of San Miguel and Santa Ana are other important centers of the country.
The current territory of El Salvador includes what was formerly the Mayor's Office of Sonsonate and what was the Mayor's Office of San Salvador, which made up most of the territory. Both provinces acquired their independence from Spain in 1821 together with the Captaincy General of Guatemala and in 1824 they joined to form the "State of Salvador", as part of the Federal Republic of Central America. In pre-Columbian times, there was an important indigenous group known as the Señorío de Kuskatan (which in the Nahuat language means 'place of necklaces'). The Nahuat language continues to be spoken in El Salvador; This, along with Salvadoran Lenca or Potón, are the only indigenous languages spoken in El Salvador.
From its independence until the late 1920s, El Salvador was governed by conservatives and liberals. However, it would not be until the 1930s that the Armed Forces would concentrate political power with the support of the local oligarchy, until the end of the 1970s, when a coup d'état ended that stage of national history. A civil war, which took place between 1980 and 1992, resulted in the death of approximately 75,000 inhabitants. This war culminated when the government and the guerrillas signed peace agreements in 1992, which gave way to military, social and political reforms in the country.
Subsequently, for 30 years, political power was exercised by the ARENA and FMLN parties, who as the years passed would lose popular support due to their involvement in strong cases of corruption. This led to Nayib Bukele assuming the presidency in 2019, breaking with the bipartisan system.
