薩爾瓦多共和國

中美洲面積最小的國家，該國的年輕總統納伊布·布格磊驕傲地稱自己為「世界上最酷的獨裁者」。獨裁者一詞相當貼切，因為布格磊為了壓制全世界最高的犯罪率，於2022年展開「打擊幫派戰爭」，短短兩個多月就逮捕超過4萬多人，其中包含與幫派無關的婦女和未成年兒童，甚至有未被定罪的人莫名死在監獄中，引發人權組織和西方國家關切。布格磊在2021年批准把比特幣設為法定貨幣之一（全球首創），還推出比特幣ATM和匯款軟體，據估計全國投入至少2億美元在比特幣相關開發。但2022年虛擬貨幣市場崩跌，雖然影響層面僅佔國家總預算的 0.5%，仍動搖了薩爾瓦多民眾的信心，大多繼續使用美元交易。看來要當最酷的獨裁者，風險是滿高的。
看2022Year Founded: 1841
El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America. It has a population of 6.52 million and a GDP per capita of a lower-middle-income country. El Salvador was colonized by Spain in the 16th century. After its independence in 1841, a civil war broke out between the military government and insurgent guerrilla groups. More than 750,000 civilians died or went missing, leaving the country socially divided. In 2018, El Salvador severed diplomatic relations with Taiwan and established ties with China after Taiwan refused to foot the bill for the Port of La Union project. El Salvador consistently ranks as having the highest murder rate in Central America, mainly due to a ruthless network of drug dealing street gangs.
