Ecuador is a very geographically varied country. It is about the same area as the US state of Nevada, or New Zealand and it is a bit larger than the United Kingdom. It straddles the equator (for which it was named) on the west (Pacific Ocean) coast of South America.
Ecuador also includes the GalÃ¡pagos Islands in the Pacific, about 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) west of the mainland. What is now Ecuador was home to a variety of Amerindian groups that were gradually incorporated into the Inca Empire during the 15th century. The territory was colonized by Spain during the 16th century, achieving independence in 1820 as part of Gran Colombia, from which it emerged as its own sovereign state in 1830.
