A large navy, and no access to the sea. Why would they spend so much money on a navy? I wonder if they have a big lake they can float around on. The Paraguayan Admirals can recreate the Battle of Midway on the lake in Paraguay. War games.
Next month, they will recreate the Battle of Trafalgar.
Paraguay or anywhere’s else, he’s pretty well fugged.
About the only place south of the border having anything close to resembling a democratic government would be Costa Rica and it’s changing rather fast.
The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.
What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.
The US sold/gave old ships to a lot of S. American countries, Paraguay included. We made UNITAS cruises (circumnavigated the continent),excersicing and training the Navies. Oh yeah, and visiting fun places

Or Jutland
Mebbe they have of overabundance of former Kreigsmarine officers just setting around with nothing to do.

Archaeologist son had a great time on a project in Ecuador. And, apparently they use our money. They were real close to one of the coastal towns where Papa Hemingway was trying to snag on of those record swordfish. Him being a bit of a foodie, he said he went to the market every day and grabbed up fresh seafood items he prepared for evening chow.
However he did say he didn’t want to live there. He also said getting there was a bit of a challenge. Had to do an over night stop in El Salvador which was worse than Indian country.

Paraguay has been a refuge for many through the years. It was the destination of choice for Anastazio Somoza after the U.S. denied him the right to enter.
Of course, he was assassinated there within the year... Assuncion is a pretty cool place, none the less...

Who has a stable representative democratic republic north of the border?
And you are incorrect about the government of Paraguay. They have issues (and we don't?) but their government seems to be modeled after ours
