The economy is largely based on agriculture (making up 10% of GDP and the most substantial export) and the state sector. According to Transparency International, Uruguay is rated as the least corrupt country in Latin America (along with Chile), with its political and labor conditions being among the freest on the continent.

Uruguay is one of the most economically developed countries in Latin America, with a high GDP per capita and the 47th highest quality of life in the world. It was the first Latin American country to legalize same and different sex civil unions at a national level in the year 2007.

So based on the above, I would say that Uruguay is a relatively wealthy country.

There are many traditional foods in Uruguay. However, some of them are rosted meat, cooked in a barbaque along with sausages and "morcilla". Other traditional foods are milked rice ("arroz con leche") that you cook pouring half cup of rice in 1 litre of boiling milk, and cook it until the rice is ready to be eaten. Then you add 2 eggs and 1 cup of sugar (previously mixed) and wait 2 minutes.

No, Uruguay does not have jungles. It's mostly made up of low hills and rolling plains with a large portion of the country devoted to farmland.

As of December 29th, 2009 one Uruguayan Peso is 0.05 US Dollars.
