Uruguay South America
GEOGRAPHY Uruguay is one of the smallest of the South American republics. It is bounded to the north by Brazil, to the southeast by the Atlantic, and is separated from Argentina in the west and south by the River Uruguay, which widens out into the Rio de la Plata estuary. The landscape is made up of hilly meadows broken by streams and rivers. There is a string of beaches along the coast. Most of the country is grazing land for sheep and cattle. Montevideo, the most southern point of the nation, accommodates more than half of the population. About 90% of the land is suitable for agriculture, although only 12% is used in this way. Uruguay is known as the 'Oriental Republic' because it stands on the eastern bank of the Rio de la Plata. Location: Southern South America, bordering the South Atlantic Ocean, between Argentina and Brazil

Punta del Este se encuentra en el Departamento de Maldonado, a 130 km. al Este de Montevideo, la Capital Nacional y es el límite geográfico entre el Río de la Plata y el Océano Atlántico. Relieve El suelo uruguayo es suavemente ondulado, y su sistema orográfico, prolongación de las estribaciones del sur del Brasil, está limitado por una serie de elevaciones monótonas, de estructura cristalina, llamadas cuchillas, cuya altitud oscila entre 200 y 500 metros. Sobresalen la Cuchilla Grande, entre el Río Negro, el Río de la Plata y el Océano Atlántico, y la Cuchilla de Haedo, prolongada en el límite con el Brasil por la Negra y la Santa Ana. En la parte meridional del territorio se alzan serranías como la de las Animas , donde se halla el cerro del mismo nombre, que es el mas alto del país (501 metros). Existe un tapiz vegetal casi continuo de pasturas naturales, aptas para la cría de ganado bovino y ovino. Costas e Islas El país posee unos 450 km. de costas a lo largo del Río Uruguay y el Río de la Plata y 220Km de costas marítimas. Este litoral ofrece una sucesión de playas arenosas, de gran interés turístico (Pocitos, Atlántida, Piriapolis, Punta del Este, La Paloma, etc.), alternadas con puntas pedregosas. La costa del Atlántico, mas regular que la platense, es anegadiza en algunos sitios, y a lo largo de ella abundan las lagunas. Las principales islas, próximas al litoral, son las de Juncal, Flores, Gorriti y Lobos.

Uruguay - Geography Officially Eastern Republic of Uruguay, republic (1992 est. pop. 3,120,000), 68,536 sq mi (177,508 sq km), SE South America. The second smallest country in South America after Suriname, Uruguay extends from a short Atlantic coastline along the north bank of the Río de la Plata to the Uruguay River, which separates it on the west from Argentina. To the north is Brazil. The capital and largest city is Montevideo. The land is an area of topographical transition from the humid Argentine Pampa to the uplands of S Brazil. North of the alluvial plain, known as the Banda Oriental [Span.,=east bank, i.e., of the Uruguay and the Río de la Plata], Uruguay generally has long, sweeping slopes and grasslands, wooded valleys with slow-moving rivers, and long ranges of low hills, with some huge granite blocks that stand out against the horizon. Although Uruguay is within the temperate zone, climatic variations are moderate; generally the climate is warm, with rainfall evenly distributed through the seasons, but in some years there are severe droughts. The country is divided into 19 administrative departments.

[Countries] Uruguay
Background:
A violent Marxist urban guerrilla movement, the Tupamaros, launched in the late 1960s, led Uruguay's president to agree to military control of his administration in 1973. By the end of the year the rebels had been crushed, but the military continued to expand its hold throughout the government. Civilian rule was not restored until 1985. Uruguay has long had one of South America's highest standards of living; its political and labor conditions are among the freest on the continent.

ESRI President Meets With President of Uruguay to Discuss National Geographic Information System Technology Initiatives
Uruguay has been actively involved in the use of GIS technology on a national level for more than 10 years, having implemented in 1998 the first National Spatial Data Infrastructure on the continent. The program, known as the National Geographic Information System (SIGNAC), is operated by the National Spatial Data Clearinghouse ( http://cndg.clearinghouse.gub.uy ), a joint effort led by the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP) with the participation of the private sector. In addition to MTOP, other affiliates of the clearinghouse include the Ministries of Agriculture, Mining, Telephone, Environment, Municipal Council, Forestry, National Cadastre, Conservation, Water, and Pension Fund. In conjunction with his visit, Dangermond donated software to the country's developing GIS educational program for secondary school students and instructors, equipping 43 secondary education centers and 16 teacher training centers with the latest
