Paraguay has a recorded area of 406,752 square kilometres. Among the 12 countries assigned to South America in this dataset, it ranks 8 by area, from largest to smallest. Chile is immediately above it in that ordering, at 756,102 km². Ecuador is immediately below it, at 276,841 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 7,013,078 people for Paraguay 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 17 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Guaraní and Spanish. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Paraguayan Guarani (PYG). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
