El Salvador is a small nation in Central America. It is bordered by 
Honduras to the north and 
Guatemala to the west. Its two provinces are hills.
El Salvador had a fascist dictatorship ruled by Maximiliano Hernandez Martínez since 1931 which repressed minorities in his country such as Chinese, Indian and black peoples among other groups. In 1932 there was a revolt done by indigenous peoples that were culturally repressed. The uprising failed and that group would continue suffering even more over time. El Salvador was neutral during the first world war. In the 1936 Olympic games, El Salvador didn't compete because the Olympic team wasn't recognized by the committee of the Olympic games until 1938. In the 1938 football (or soccer) world cup, El Salvador didn't participate. Before the United States of America entered the second world war, El Salvador was improving relations with all the fascist countries in the world. Soon after the American declaration of war on the Axis powers, El Salvador has joined the Allies. El Salvador has sent money and equipment to the Allied powers, also supplying the USA with manpower on a promise of American citizenship should they survive. Salvadoran troops have supported American troops during the D-day landings. At the time, El Salvador based its economy around farming, primarily in the elements of coffee, sugar, and corn.

El Salvador is guaranteed by the 
United States via Monroe Doctrine. El Salvador may form the 
United States of Central America if it controls all other independent Central American countries excluding 
Panama. Doing so will give it cores on the required territories plus British Honduras (311).
El Salvador has slightly bad relations −10 with all countries that aren't fascist.

The below is one of many player suggested strategies for El Salvador. Bear in mind, due to the dynamic nature of the game, it may unfold differently for other players.Although the country has insignificant manpower, industry, and resources, it is the only fascist country and second most populous in Central America, as well as having a well-equipped army. Thus, it's the recommended choice to form the Central American Union.
Recommended starting moves are focusing on Political Effort, justifying a wargoal on Guatemala in the meantime. Afterwards, follow the generic fascist tree for a much-needed manpower boost. After the justification on Guatemala finishes, the next choice is Honduras. After annexing Nicaragua and Costa Rica, Central America can be formed, providing cores on conquered land, making the country's power base comparable to Nepal.
The largest threat for united Central America is Mexico, as its focus tree allows to declare war on Central American countries. However, if the army is well-led, it can be possible to refute the Mexican attacks and win the war. Either puppeting Mexico, allowing a larger army, or annexing it, allowing access to the state resources, are possible options. The USA can still easily overpower the most skilled Central American army at this point, so justifying on the US should be avoided. Focus instead on South America, which naturally requires a navy. With South America brought under the heel, notably Brazil and Argentina, Central America will have decent industry and manpower, allowing for a more powerful airforce and army. If avoiding a war with the USA, a large navy can be the main focus.
