Grenada, officially the People's Democratic Federation of Grenada (Spanish: Federación Democrática Popular de Colombia) is a sovereign nation in northern South America, bordered by Trinidad to the east, the Caribbean Sea to the north, Panama to the northwest, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and Peru and Amazaon to the south. The nation was formed out of former Spanish colonies, which gradually gained independence over the course of the 19th century.
The process of obtaining independence was a turbulent one, and uniting the several different colonies into a single country was even more complicated, taking several decades of civil strife and guerrilla, which ended well into the 19th century with Spain being forced to formally recognize the independence of its former colonies; however, the two countries have always been tied together by commercial and political pacts. The population of Granada is diverse, with several indigenous groups and mixed race people, as well as descendants of African slaves and European immigrants and colonists.
Grenada's territory is likewise diversified: the south is occupied by northernmost reaches of the Amazonas river, while the western part is characterized by the first peaks of the Andes, which begin in Ecuador and run southwards towards Peru. The northernmost part of the country consists of the isthmus of Panama, which connects the North American and South American continents. The economy of Grenada revolves on agriculture, with only the areas around the major cities being heavily industrialized. Administratively, Grenada is divided into fourteen federated republics (Spanish: repúblicas):

Government
Grenada is constitutionally established as a directorial republic, with joint executive power held by a body known as the Presidium of Nine, whose membership is to be elected by the DNC following a general election, or as needed in case of an unexpected vacancy. In practice, however, Grenada operates under a presidential system, with the President of Colombia - selected by and from the Presidium- serving as the head of state, with a Prime Minister's head of government, and commander-in-chief of the armed forces; the Presidium of Nine, meanwhile, functions as a cabinet. The current members of the Presidium is
