Uruguay, officially the Eastern Republic of Uruguay or the Republic East of
the Uruguay (River) (Spanish: República Oriental del Uruguay), is a nation
located in the southeastern part of South America. Of the mere 3 million
people who inhabit the country, 1.7 million live in Montevideo. It is
bordered by Brazil to the northeast, the Uruguay River to the west, the
estuary of the Río de la Plata (literally "River of the Silver", but commonly
known in English as "River Plate") to the southwest, with Argentina on
the other bank of both, and finally the South Atlantic Ocean to the
southeast. It is is the second smallest independent country in South
America, larger only than Suriname -it is also larger than French Guiana,
which is an overseas department of France-. According to Transparency
International, it is the second least corrupt country in Latin America
(after Chile). |
