'''El Salvador''', officially the '''Imperial Republic of El Salvador''' ([[Salvadoran language|Salvadoran]]: ''República Imperial d'El Salvador''), is a country located in [[Sur]]. It is a landlocked country, bordered by [[Creeperopolis]] to the south and east and by [[Salisford]] to the north and west. Additionally, the Salvadoran government recognizes the self-declared independent country of [[Free Republic of Noundures|Noundures]] as being located on its northern border. With a land area of 457,503 sq mi (1,184,926 km<sup>2</sup>) divided into [[Viceroyalties of El Salvador|9 viceroyalties]], El Salvador is the second smallest country in mainland Sur after the [[State of the Church]] (excluding Noundures). El Salvador's capital city is [[Ciutat dels Àngels]], and as of 2023, the country has a population of 12.5 million.

El Salvador is heavily dependent on Creeperopolis for military and financial support and has been characterized as a Creeperian [[client state]]. El Salvador is a member of the [[Cooperation and Development Coalition]] (CODECO), a global military and economic alliance of which Creeperopolis is the de facto leading member. The Salvadoran language is the country's official language, while [[Creeperian language|Creeperian]] is a nationally recognized language. [[Salvadorans]] compose 80 percent of the country's populations; [[Creeperans]] compose 18 percent, [[Castillianans]] compose 1.5 percent, and the remaining 0.5 percent is composed of other groups such as [[Hondurans]], [[Sabotans]], [[Salisfordians]], and [[Sequoyans]]. The country's GDP is [[Quebecshirite Credit|CQS₵]]33.9 billion and its currency is the [[Salvadoran peseta|peseta]], however, the [[Creeperian colón|Creeperian colón]] is also unofficially used.

== Etymology ==

El Salvador in the [[Salvadoran language]] means "The Savior", in reference to [[Yeshua|Jesus Christ]], the central figure of Christianity. The earliest mention of ''El Salvador'' in reference to the country appears on a 15th century Creeperian map. The exact date when the country began to refer to itself as El Salvador is unknown; prior to being known as El Salvador, it was known as ''Pasorgen'', meaning "homeland country".

During the late-19th and early-20th centuries, some left-wing Salvadoran politicians proposed renaming the country back to Pasorgen to remove the references to Jesus from the country's name. Other politicians, both left and right-wing, wanted to rename the country Granada after the [[Granada River]] which flows through the country. The origin of the name ''Granada'' is unknown. From 1933 to 1935, the country was briefly renamed to the [[State of Granada]].
