>>Apart from rich regions like Southeast and South, Paraguay is like any other place in Brazil.

That would be a problem, no offense. I get the sentiments, but Brazil is not a basket case by any measure. I'm in upstate São Paulo and have traveled to Paraguay many times, and have Guarany speaking [brazilian] friends with properties there. The ruling elite there is authoritarian in a way that is hard to convey. You just got to see for yourself.

Anyways, it's not a place for inquisitive and authority averse minds.
