The Republic of Bolivia, named after independence fighter [Simon Bolivar]
?, broke away from
Spanish rule in
1825; much of its subsequent history has consisted of a series of nearly 200 coup
?s and counter-coups. Comparatively democratic civilian rule was established in the
1980s, but leaders have faced difficult problems of deep-seated poverty, social unrest, and drug production. Current goals include attracting foreign investment, strengthening the educational system, continuing the privatization program, and waging an anti-corruption campaign. The country has two capital cities: [La Paz]
? (seat of government) and Sucre
? (legal capital and seat of the judiciary).
