PARAGUAY T-Shirt

Paraguay is one of two landlocked countries which lie entirely within the Western Hemisphere (the other being Bolivia), both in South America. Paraguay lies on both banks of the Paraguay River, which runs through the center of the country, from north to south. The country is bordered by Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the east and northeast, and Bolivia to the northwest. Because of its central location in South America, the country is sometimes referred to as Corazón de América — Heart of America.[6] As of 2009 the population was estimated at 6.3 million. The capital and largest city is Asunción. There are at least four versions for the origin of the name Paraguay. The literal translation from Guaraní is Para = of many varieties; Gua = from, belonging to or place; Y = water, river or lake.
