Uruguay is a country fo South America between Argentina and Brasil. Nearly the entire Uruguayan population is of European origin, mainly from Spanish and Italian descent. Therefore the overwhelming majority of Uruguayans are light skinned with light hair and blue eyes. Uruguayans are also very warm, kind, friendly, and extremely hospitable. Uruguayan culture has been heavily influenced by the Western Europeans that immigrated here. It is also very similar to that of Argentina. Both countries share: the tango, milonga, gaucho, mate, bandoneon, the same dialect, and the same food.
Montevideo is the capital and largest city in Uruguay. Its wide avenues and boulevards, open parks, old European styled buildings, beautiful beaches, great museums and theatres, sophisticated restaurants and clubs, and its warm, friendly people attract many tourists to this city.
Uruguay is probably most famous for its meat, soccer, and most of all its beaches. Known to have some of the best beaches in the world the Uruguayan Riviera, stretching from Montevideo to Rocha, houses notable beach resorts such as Cuchilla Alta, Solimar, and Piriapolis. The most famous and internationally known of these resorts is Punta del Este.

Get the Uruguayan’ed mug.Country determined by God himself to have a right to play in the world cup (despite finishing a measley fifth in their zone), and that no-one in the Oceanic zone should ever be allowed to play even if they never lose a match.
Uruguay is thusly famous for it's unique concept of sportsmanship and fairness, and also how well they handle being losers.

Joe Dingbat: Yay! Australia finished top of their zone without ever losing a single match! We're going to the world cup!
Rodney Sensible: Hold on there Joe, Australia will be the only country top of a zone to actually have to play a play-off to secure thier place. Uruguay finished fifth in their zone so we'd have to play them, and God said they deserve to go to the world cup and it's unfair for them, so I guess you're not allowed to compete.
Joe Dingbat: Oh, of course. How selfish of me.
