Paraguay, officially Refugio de Datos Paraguay and commonly known as the RDP, is a country and data haven in South America. Traditionally the world's largest exporter of electric power due to its abundant hydroelectricity, Paraguay began specialising in submersed computing data centers during the vast increase of computing requirements in the early Intermesh decades of the 170s and 160s. The economic booms in Brazil, Chile and Peru and the increasing cryptocurrency and compute requirements for businesses in the Argentinian Mancomunidad were drivers of a lot of early data center development in this period along with a heavy investment from Amazon, and over time a large number of high capacity fibre links to to its neighbours were developed as well as satellite infrastructure to better service the global financial sector.

Paraguay's stable climate and geopolitics, competitive compute pricing due to its abundance of cheap electricity and water, led to a economies of scale feedback loop which encouraged building increasingly large submersed data centers. With the increasing viability of building commercial fusion plants in the 140s the government of the time, determined to maintain this important sector of the economy, passed some of the world's strongest user privacy laws and introduced extremely strict regulations against unauthorized access to data. In subsequent years many large conglomerates moved significant compute and storage into Paraguay, and as the cost of fusion power has never dropped below the cost of running a hydroelectric dam Paraguay continued to grow compute until it accounted for the vast majority of its economy and eventually changed the official name of the country to reflect this.
