Hannah - Try the country's rankings, both top and bottom, as well as the 'Popular Articles' sention at the end of this page.

Cody - apart from info sporting achievements here, try the links leading from: http://www.ezilon.com/world/countries/bolivia/bolivia_recreation/index.shtml

Sierra - See the encyclopedia section, which explains that La Paz is the seat of government and the administrative capital of Bolivia, Sucre is the legal capital.

Abdul - The history of Bolivia goes back to the 2nd century BC, with the records of the sophisticated Tiwanaku and Moxos societies, with their advanced agricultural practices and architecture.

The total population of Bolivia today (2003 census) is less than 9 million; for more, see: http://www.nationmaster.com/country/bl/People and try the links from there for country comparisons.
