The
Phrygian cap
is a  soft conical
cap
with the top pulled forward, associated in
antiquity
with the inhabitants of
Phrygia
, a region of central
Anatolia
. In early modern Europe it came to  signify freedom and the pursuit of liberty, through a confusion with the
pileus
, the felt cap of
manumitted
(emancipated) slaves of ancient  Rome. Accordingly, the Phrygian cap is sometimes called a
liberty cap
; in  artistic representations it signifies freedom and the pursuit of liberty.
Peru
,  officially the
Republic of Peru
(
Spanish
:
República del Perú
, is a country in western
South America
. It is bordered in the north by
Ecuador
and
Colombia
, in the east by
Brazil
, in the southeast by
Bolivia
, in the south by
Chile
, and in the west by the
Pacific Ocean
. Peru is an extremely
biodiverse
country with habitats ranging from  the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the
Andes mountains
vertically extending from the  north to the southeast of the country to the tropical
Amazon Basin
rainforest in the east with the
Amazon river
.
Peruvian territory was home to
ancient cultures
spanning from the
Norte Chico civilization
in
Caral
, one of the oldest in the world, to the
Inca Empire
, the largest state in
Pre-Columbian America
. The
Spanish Empire
conquered the region in the 16th  century and
established a Viceroyalty
with its capital in
Lima
, which included most of its South American colonies. Ideas of  political autonomy later spread throughout Spanish America and Peru gained its  independence, which was formally proclaimed in 1821. After the
battle of Ayacucho
, three years after  proclamation, Peru ensured its independence. After
achieving independence
, the country remained in  recession and kept a low military profile until an economic rise based on the  extraction of raw and maritime materials struck the country, which ended shortly  before the
war of the Pacific
. Subsequently, the country  has undergone changes in government from oligarchic to democratic systems. Peru  has gone through periods of political unrest and
internal conflict
as well as periods of  stability and economic upswing.
Peru is a
representative democratic
republic divided into
25 regions
. It is a
developing country
with a high
Human Development Index
score and a poverty  level around 25.8 percent. Its main economic activities include mining,  manufacturing, agriculture and fishing.
The Peruvian population, estimated at 30.4 million, is
multiethnic
, including
Amerindians
,
Europeans
,
Africans
and
Asians
. The main spoken language is Spanish,  although a significant number of Peruvians speak
Quechua
or other
native languages
. This mixture of cultural  traditions has resulted in a wide diversity of expressions in fields such as  art, cuisine, literature, and music.
