At the beginning of Max Frisch's Homo Faber, a man identified only as a "ruin-lover" procures a Land Rover so the main character can visit this nation. This country gave its title to a journalistic work subtitled "Occupied Country," by Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano, whose essay "The Government Decides that Reality Doesn't Exist," concerns a declaration by this nation's president regarding a dormant volcano. In another work set in this country, Celestino Yumi sells his wife Catalina Zabala to the demon Tazol while in yet another work, the guerilla leader Gaspar Ilom, believing himself to be a descendant of the title group, wages war against the Mounted Patrol. The author of those aforementioned works, which includes the novel Mulatta, also authored a collection of legends of this country, and another work by that author centers of Miguel Angel Face, an advisor to the titular politician. The setting of such works as The Eyes of the Interred and Men of Maize, as well as El Senor Presidente, for ten points, identify this Central American nation whose most famous native writer is Miguel Asturias.
