Uruguay's land area is approximately 85% the size of Minnesota, making it the world's 91st-largest country.
Uruguay, located in the southern temperate zone, has a pleasant and consistent climate. The mixed terrain includes gently sloping plains to the south and an extension of Argentina's flat pampas in the west. The northern territory is a continuation of southern Brazil's lowlands and broad valleys.
The eclectic culture comes from a diverse population with a long history of creative and literary traditions.
