Bolivias

The term Bolivias is not a standard demonym for the country. English usage typically uses Bolivians to refer to people, and Bolivia to refer to the nation. Bolivias may appear in informal or mistaken contexts, but it is not common in formal writing.

Bolivia is a landlocked country in central South America, bordered by Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, and Peru. It features diverse terrains, from the Andean highlands and the Altiplano to portions of the Amazon basin. Sucre is the constitutional capital, while La Paz hosts the government.

With around 12 million residents, Bolivia has a large Indigenous population. Quechua and Aymara are major Indigenous groups, and official languages include Spanish and several Indigenous languages. The country is culturally diverse, reflecting its mix of Andean, Amazonian, and European influences.

Bolivia's economy combines mining, hydrocarbons, agriculture, and growing services and tourism. Tin and lithium are notable mineral resources, while natural gas contributes to government revenue. The currency is the Boliviano (BOB).

Historically, the region was home to Tiwanaku and later experienced Inca influence before Spanish colonization. Bolivia gained independence in 1825. Since the mid-20th century it has pursued social and political reforms within a constitutional framework.
