My capital is Asunción, which lies east of a major river that is named just like me and is located in the south-central part of me! Paraná River, the second longest river in South America (hint!) after the mighty Amazon, runs along my borders that are south and east of the capital. I am comprised of a large area of swamps and marshes in the central and southern parts of me. All of the land west of the Paraná River is called Gran Chaco. This is one of the most 'inhospitable' areas in South America and is semi-arid, sparsely-populated, mainly flat, and usually extremely hot. However, forests and standing-alone trees are able to survive there, as well as thorny shrubs and cactus. What country am I? Find out below!Answer: PARAGUAY
