Ecuador is small country. Ecuador is situated in the continent of South America.

The origin of the name

‘ecuador’ is from the Spanish word ‘equator’. The independence of Ecuador is kind of complex as
different parts of Ecuador gained their independence separately.Ecuadorians celebrate independence
from Spain on August 10. On this day in 1809, Criollo rebels took over the Ecuadorian capital Quito.
Guayaquil, Ecuador’s main port and largest city, gained its independence on October 9, 1820. On July 13,
1822, the government of Guayaquil joined Quito in Gran Colombia which included present-
day Colombia and Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador, northern Peru, western Guyana and northwest Brazil.

and serve four-year terms. Individuals of the cabinet are designated by the
president. Administrative control is vested within the unicameral
National Gathering; individuals are famously chosen to four-year terms. Protected traditions got to be a

the mid-1990s to the early 21st century, when numerous people served as president and none
completed a four-year term. The president designates governors to manage each of
Ecuador’s territories. Territories are separated into cantones (cantons); these in turn are partitioned into
parroquias (areas). Ecuador’s government has ended up progressively decentralized.
