Flag of Bolivia
The flag of Bolivia is composed of three equal horizontal bands of red, yellow and green, with the national coat of arms centered in the yellow band.
Where it is
Bolivia is grouped in South America, within Roam’s South America region. Its land-border list includes 5 countries in this atlas: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru. It is landlocked.
Bolivia has a recorded area of 1,098,581 square kilometres. Among the 12 countries assigned to South America in this dataset, it ranks 5 by area, from largest to smallest. Colombia is immediately above it in that ordering, at 1,141,748 km². Venezuela is immediately below it, at 916,445 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 12,581,843 people for Bolivia in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 11 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Aymara, Guaraní, Quechua, and Spanish. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Bolivian Boliviano (BOB). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
