1. Vee:<\/strong>\u00a0Uruguay heeft 3,8 runderen per hoofd van de bevolking en is daarmee het land met de hoogste concentratie runderen ter wereld. Er zijn ongeveer 12 miljoen runderen in totaal<\/p>\n

2. Laptops voor iedereen:<\/strong>\u00a0In het 'E\u00e9n laptop per kind'-programma was Uruguay het eerste land dat laptops aanschafte voor alle schoolkinderen. Aangezien er in Uruguay ongeveer 362.000 schoolkinderen zijn, werden er meer dan 360.000 computers aangeschaft (ongeveer 100.000 in 2007, meer dan 200.000 in 2008 en meer dan 160.000 in 2009).<\/p>\n

3. Volkslied:<\/strong>\u00a0Uruguay heeft het langste volkslied ter wereld (Orientales, la Patria o la Tumba), dat ongeveer 6 minuten duurt. Overigens is het lied geschreven door dezelfde man (Francisco Acu\u00f1a de Figueroa) die het Paraguayaanse volkslied schreef.<\/p>\n

4. McHuevo:<\/strong>\u00a0Bij McDonald's in Uruguay kun je een McHuevo krijgen, dat is een hamburger met gepocheerd ei.<\/p>\n

5. Voetbal:<\/strong>\u00a0Uruguay heeft de wereldbeker twee keer gewonnen; de eerste keer in 1930 tijdens de eerste wereldbeker en de tweede keer in 1950 toen ze gastland Brazili\u00eb versloegen in de finale. Daarnaast heeft Uruguay de Copa Am\u00e9rica vaker gewonnen dan welk ander land dan ook.<\/p>\n

Feit: Uruguay heeft de Wereldbeker twee keer gewonnen (in 1930 en 1950). In de jaren 2000 - 2010 exporteerde Uruguay 1.414 voetballers (bijna net zoveel spelers als de buurlanden Brazili\u00eb en Argentini\u00eb).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Voetballers:<\/strong>\u00a0In de periode 2000 - 2010 exporteerde Uruguay 1.414 voetballers naar het buitenland (dat zijn 128 voetbalteams!). In totaal exporteerde Uruguay bijna net zoveel voetballers als Brazili\u00eb en Argentini\u00eb, ook al zijn deze twee landen 58 en 12 keer groter dan Uruguay in termen van bevolking.<\/p>\n

7. Cannabis:<\/strong>\u00a0Uruguay legaliseerde het gebruik van cannabis in 2013. In tegenstelling tot de meeste andere landen waar de drug gelegaliseerd is, heeft Uruguay ervoor gekozen om het publiek toe te staan cannabis te produceren om zo de drugskartels te ondermijnen.<\/p>\n

8. Corruptie:<\/strong>\u00a0Uruguay is het op \u00e9\u00e9n na minst corrupte land in Zuid-Amerika (alleen overtroffen door Chili)<\/p>\n

9. Huwelijk:<\/strong>\u00a0Het homohuwelijk is sinds 2013 toegestaan in Uruguay.<\/p>\n

10. Naam:<\/strong>\u00a0De offici\u00eble naam van Uruguay is: La Rep\u00fablica Oriental del Uruguay, wat eigenlijk de republiek ten oosten van Uruguay (de rivier) betekent, maar vandaag de dag vertaalt de naam zich naar de offici\u00eble titel van het land 'Ori\u00ebntaalse Republiek van Uruguay'. De naam 'Uruguay' komt van de rivier de Uruguay, maar de oorsprong van de naam is onzeker. Het is echter bekend dat de naam afkomstig is uit de Guaran\u00ed-taal en \"rivier van de geschilderde vogels\" betekent.<\/p>\n
