"El 503 nada más es un código."

- El Salvador

El Salvadorball, officially the Republic of El Salvadorball (Cozcatlan in Nahuatl), is a countryball in Central America. He is bordered by Hondurasball to the North and East, the Pacific Ocean to the South, and  Guatemalaball to the West. The country is divided into 14 departments, with the capital San Salvadorball located in the middle of the Boquerón Volcano Valley, giving him a total of 8,124 sq mi (21,041 sq km), making him the 148th largest country in the world and the smallest country in Central America. As of 2016, he maintains a population of about 6.345 million inhabitants.

Being geographically in Central America already gives El Salvador the ability to join OASball and  SICAball, as well as the  UNball like almost every other country in the world.

Like most Central American countries, El Salvador is one of the poorest countries in Latin America, and he often seems tired because of this. He and his neighbour, Hondurasball, have the sad record of high homicide rate, gun violence, and gangs, which have led to many Salvadorans seeking refuge in countries like  USAball and  Canadaball.

During his independence, the name was called "Salvadorball" for 94 years, until on 7 June 1915 officially put the word "El" at the beginning of the name. Not many countryballs reorganize as the new name, until the Naming Act of 11 November 1958 was signed. Thus, the name was established "El Salvadorball" as official name of the republic countryball.

El SalvadorBall's national day is on September 15th, and his astrological sign is Virgo.

Personality
As a Latin American countryball, El Salvadorball is very poor with simple infrastructures, and intermediate experience to improve his clay. He is a survivor of natural disasters such as hurricane, earthquakes and volcano eruptions, but his defects are the economy crisis and loss population. He doesn't like violence because of his nostalgia from the rise of the dictatorships to the Salvadoran Civil War that makes vulnerable from the gun violence, and gang's crime. And as a smallest countryball in the Americas' mainland, he sights when Salvadorans flee in search of their lives from other countryballs such as USAball and  Canadaball for any problematic reasons. Though he does suffer from a few problems, he is still a very nice country and loves tourism, just don't do things that make you stand out, such as wear jewelry or expensive clothing.

El Salvadorball doesn't know at all over the world, but he is closer with his brothers in Latin America, and his best friend. He is a Soccer fan that wanted to qualify the FIFA World Cup, only two World Cups has been participated such as Mexico in 1970 and Spain in 1982. Al through El Salvadorball didn't achieve in World Cup tournament, he achieved the 2011 Beach World Cup tournament in 4th place.

Also he always watch from the weather to stay aware from electric storms, hurricanes, and tropical storms when it's wet season from May to October. Also, he is an artist when try to make a traditional painting and handicrafts since Precolonial Era. Even El Salvadorball is an tailor when he makes an Hamac for example. He takes religion seriously since he loves going to the Christian church, and this is because of his name that relates from Jesus Christ as "The Savior".

His favorite food are Pupusas, Shuco Soup, Sopa de Pata (Foot Soup), Crazy Corn, Minutas (Shaved Ice), Tamales, Fruit drinks such as horchata and coconut, Mango (green and sweetness), Sweet Breads, Crazy Mangos, and Yuca. His favorite music are Reggaeton, Cumbia, Salsa, Pop, and his typical music "Xuc".

Nowadays, El Salvadorball wants to expand his relationship, like Chinaball that he reorganize that his tide might be change to make an interrelationship between the countryballs in the world.

Pre-Columbian Era (Before 1525 AD)
El SalvadorBall was born as a  3Ball into the clay in 8000 BCE in the Pacific Coast. Between 1500 and 400 BCE, the tribes were establishing the early Mayans in the western region with  Guatemalaball's clay. From 400 BCE to 250 CE, it existed several tribes with Guatemalan highest clay. During the Classic period (250 - 900 CE), the Salvadoran clay was divided between Teotihuacan and Copán; In 535 CE, the Illopango supervolcano erupted, with direct and indirect victims of thousands of lives, and people left from the volcano, creating a Illopango Lake. After that, The Lenca tribeballs was established in Eastern Salvadoran clay. And finally, The Pipilballs, descendants of the Aztecballs, likely migrated to the region in the 11th century CE, with a Salvadoran establishment that the clay was named Cuzcatlanball.

Spanish Rule Era (1525 - 1821)
In 1524, Pedro de Alvarado, a lieutenant of Hernan Cortés from Spanish Empireball, anschlussing the El SalvadorBall's clay for nearly 300 years. Next year, the Salvadoran capital was established as San Salvadorball, and in 1530  San Miguelball was established as a eastern city, making the beginning of the Spanish rule era. El SalvadorBall was a part of  Spanish Guatemalaball on the Viceroyality of New Spainball, creating the kingdomball. In 1624, an Interracial convenience was interrupted by a bunch of 8balls that they wanted their rights in  San Salvadorball. Before the independence, the clay was established as an intendence from Sonsonateball and  San Salvadorball in 1786, making the Salvadoran Union. After the Napoleonic Wars in Spainball, and the weakening of the Spanish Crown's military power,  El SalvadorBall leads the independent movement; on 5th of November 1811, the Salvadoran priest José Matias Delgado rang the bells on La Merced Church on San Salvador, leading the Independent Movement that ends with arrest, and again occurred on 24th of January 1814.

Independence (1821 - 1931)
The Spanish authorization was capitulated and signed the Act of Independence, when  El Salvadorball and other countryballs of Central America declared its independence from the Spanish rule on September 15, 1821. But later, the First Mexican Empireball anschlusses most of the Central American countryballs, He fought back against the Mexican Authorization, and in 1823  El Salvadorball and his Central American brothers beat the  First Mexican Empireball, creating as  the Greater Republic of Central America until the balkanization of 1838. For decades after its independence,  El Salvadorball was experienced numerous revolutions and civil wars against other Central American republics, leaving the independent countryball since 2 of February 1841.

For ninety years, El Salvadorball was developed into a normal countryball as well such as major agriculture (especially coffee by President Gerardo Barrios), finances between the  USAball, building roads, and relationships with the allies. However, due to preoccupation of the indigenous working class for the injustices received, they ended in a conflict of great proportions. and a change in the way of governing thanks to The Great Depression of 1929.

Dictatorship Era (1931 - 1979)
El SalvadorBall was suffered various massacres in that era. In 1932, a group of farmers of Western El Salvador was massacred 30,000 indigenous people, making the rise of military dictatorships from Maximiliano Hernández Martínez to Humberto Romero for 48 years.

When World War II broke out in 1939, El Salvadorball helped  Judaismcube to protect against the  Nazi Germanyball, and helping with the allies from 1941.

When PCN (National Conciliation Party) gained power in 1961, it began to coup Salvadoran people. In 1969, El SalvadorBall invaded the  Hondurasball's clay after Honduran landowners deported several thousand Salvadorans. 5,000 people ultimately died in what is called “Football War” or "The 100-Hours War" because it broke out during a soccer game between the two countries on the 1970 World Cup's Semifinal Round Qualifiers. By threatening economic sanctions and military intervention, the OASBall induced  El SalvadorBall to withdraw. Fortunately for him, El SalvadorBall went on to play in the World Cup tournament, but he lost all three matches in the group stage.

By the time in 1972, the University of El Salvador (UES) was closed for one year by the military intervention, making the battle against students. On 30th of July 1975, The Student Movement was realized, causing a massacre by military army; hundreds of people were killed.

During the 1970s, discontent with societal inequalities, a poor economy, and the repressive measures of dictatorship led to civil war between the government, ruled since 1961 by the right-wing National Conciliation Party (PCN), and leftist antigovernment guerrilla units, whose leading group was the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN). The USAball ​intervened on the side of the military dictatorship, despite its scores of human rights violations.

Salvadoran Civil War Era (1979 - 1992)
Between 1979 and 1981, about 30,000 people had killed by right-wing death squads backed by the military, responding without mercy. One of the most terrible moment at the beginning the civil war, is the Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero's Assassination by the right-wing murder, on Monday 24 of March 1980. There were several offensives between military and guerrillas. In October of 1981, guerrillas blew up the Golden bridge that cause the economy crash, and in 1984 the Cuscatlan bridge blew up too. In December of 1981, tens of people killed on El Mozote Massacre.

During the Alvaro Magaña's provisional presidency, El SalvadorBall was established as a presidential republic from 20 of December 1983. José Napoleón Duarte—a moderate civilian who was president from 1984 to 1989—offered an alternative to the political extremes of right and left, but Duarte was unable to finish the war. But in 1987, Countryballs of Central America began the Peace plan to finish the Cold War with extraregional countryballs, especially the  USAball who began to receive Salvadorans from the civil war. Some Salvadorans who were criminals began to seattle the Salvadoran gang from Los Angelesball.

In 1989, Alfredo Cristiani of the right-wing party Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) was elected to resolve the civil war situations. But on 11 of November, the guerrilla forces declared "To the top offensive" for four weeks; nearly 12,000 people were killed, and six Jesuit priests. El SalvadorBall was tired of the civil war against revolutionists, and he made the Peace Treaty plan that was successful on 31 of December 1991 with the FMLN. On January 16, 1992, the government signed a peace treaty with the guerrilla forces, formally ending the 12-year civil war that had killed 75,000 people, and creation of the left-wing party after guerrilla forces.

Post-War Era (since 1992)
El SalvadorBall has been suffered and survived by natural disasters. In 1998, Hurricane Mitch devastated the country, leaving 200 dead and over 30,000 homeless. In Jan. and Feb. 2001, two major earthquakes struck the clay, damaging about 20% of the nation's housing. An even worse disaster befell the country in the summer when a severe drought destroyed 80% of the country's crops, causing famine in the countryside.

When Francisco Flores was elected in 1999, the Salvadoran Colon currency from 1892, was replaced into USAball's Monies in 2001; Also El Salvadorball began to enter the Iraq War from 2003 to 2009. And when Elias Antonio Saca was elected in 2004, the nation implemented a free-trade agreement (CAFTA) with the USAball in March 2006, making the first Central American countryball to do so.

After two decades of the conservative party (ARENA) presidential era, Mauricio Funes, a former journalist and member of the FMLN party, was elected President in March 2009. And in 2014, Sanchez Ceren, a member of FMLN Party, was elected for 5 years of presidency. El SalvadorBall has been suffered by the gang violence which has increased homicides since 2009, but as he survives, he's still alive.

On October 15, 2018, Oscar Arnulfo Romero was declared the first Salvadoran Saint ever in Vatican Cityball after 38 years of his death, and three years of his beatification.
