Located in northwest South America, Ecuador is bordered by the Amazon forest in the east, the Andean mountain range in the center, and the fertile plains on the Pacific coast.

Ecuador has an ethnically diverse population, the largest group being descendants of Spanish colonists who mixed with indigenous Amerindians. Quechua Indians account for more than 40% of the population. Spanish is the official language with another 22 spoken languages. The majority of Ecuadorians identify themselves as Roman Catholic.

The past 25 years of civilian governance has been marred by political and economic instability.
