The Republic of Peru, or simply known as Peru, is a country located in South America. The Republic of Peru has borders with the Republic of Ecuador and the Republic of Colombia in the North, with the United States of Brazil in the east, with the Pacific Ocean in the west and with the Republic of Chile and the Republic of Bolivia in the south.

Peru is a National Democratic Conservative Republic, with a system of regional governments, with a total of 24 or 25 (If you count Callao) different departments. Its head of state and government is the president, elected for a five-year term without the possibility of immediate re-election. The president in 1962 is Manuel Prado Ugarteche, a member of the Peruvian Democratic Movement, who is in the last year of his mandate. The second in command in Peru is the vice president who generally serves the same amount of time as the president. The vice president in 1962 is Luis Gallo Porras, presumably from the same party, although there is no official confirmation (And there probably never will be).
