Manta, like Panamá City, felt like a BIG city, but where Panama City seemed to be full of skyscrapers lining the coast as far as the eye could see, Manta had more of a sprawl to it. (Then again, Panama City has 4 times the population.)

República del Ecuador, A Presidential Republic

Flat Hal and Flat Stanley have learned a LOT as they travel. As they arrive in each country they look up what the Capital is to see if they are going to have a chance to visit it — do you know the Capital of Ecuador?
The flat fellas also try to look up what the flag is so they can look for it while touring, and what type of government the country has as they understand the government at home isn’t the only type there is.


Ecuador is divided into 24 provinces. The federal government has more authority than in the United States or Canada, so these provinces seem to be more administrative that legislative.
