Bolivia is located in central South America, it is bordered by Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile and Peru. Bolivia's economy is dependent on foreign assistance, but they have significant natural resources that are waiting to be extracted. However, since the prime minister is generally unfriendly to countries like the United States, this will dissuade foreign companies from making serious long-term investments in Bolivia.
