Ecuador
ECUADOR is a relatively small country situated in northwestern South America. Ecuador's bordering countries are Colombia and Peru. It also borders the Pacific Ocean at and near the Equator. The capital is Quito. According to Encyclopædia Britannica, Ecuador’s population in the year 2020 was about 17,537,000 and was ranked 68th among populations of the whole world’s countries, dependencies, and territories. The currency was the Ecuadorian Sucre, but since 2000 Ecuadorians are mostly using the United States Dollar. A great asset to Ecuador is the owning of the Galápagos Islands, which are home to many unique and rare species and offered Charles Darwin the chance to discover more about natural selection and species evolution. There are over 30,000 people living on the islands.
