Introduction

The Republic of Colombia is located in the north part of South America. It is also believed that the northern borders separate Central America from Southern America. In terms of neighbours, the republic has such neighbors as Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, and Peru. 

In 2020, the population of Colombia was at around 50 million. Thanks to its large total land coverage, its density is only 42 people per square kilometer. The total GDP (PPP included) is $827 billion. However, because of its considerate population, its GDP per capita is only $16,000. It is quite high for the region, but in terms of worldwide prosperity, it's below average.
