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.

Uruguay has 19 so called "Departamentos" which would be kind of "provinces" in other countries. 19 different self-governed "departamentos" which depends on the National government, it's not a federal country so Uruguay has only one constitution and the laws are the same for the whole country.

The 19 "departamentos" are: Montevideo (capital of the country, the smallest "departamento" in size but largest by far in population), San José, Canelones, Maldonado, Rocha, Colonia, Soriano, Río Negro, Paysandú, Salto, Artigas, Rivera, Treinta y Tres, Cerro Largo, Flores, Florida, Durazno, Tacuarembó (biggest in size) and Lavalleja.

The South American country of Uruguay has the distinction of being a possession of Portugal, Spain and Brazil. The region of Uruguay was first explored by Portuguese explorers in 1512-1513. Spanish explorers would arrive soon afterwards in 1516. The Spanish and Portuguese would clash over the area until it gained independence from Spain in 1814. In 1821 it was invaded by the Portuguese and annex as part of Brazil. Once Brazil split off from Portugal, Uruguay went with it and was part of the Brazilian Empire until 1828 when it re-gained its independence.

Dr. Tabaré Vázquez was the president of Uruguay at that time. He was the president from 2005 to 2010. Since 2010 the president of Uruguay is José Mujica. Both belong to the political party called "Frente Amplio" (Broad Front would be its name in English).

Ex President Dr. Tabaré Vázquez continued working as a cancer doctor and recently published a book about that subject.
