Uruguay

Uruguay, officially the Eastern Republic of Uruguay or the Republic East of the Uruguay (River) (Spanish: Republica Oriental del Uruguay), is a nation located in the southeastern part of South America. Home to 3 million people, 1.7 million of which live in Montevideo. It is bordered by Brazil to the northeast, the Uruguay River to the west, the estuary of the R’o 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 the second smallest independent country in South America, larger only than Suriname and French Guiana, which is an overseas department of France.
