Where in the World is Montevideo?

[tartysuz]

Since I'm going to be obsessed with the Uruguay football team for next three days, I thought I should brush up on the country.

Things Wikipedia taught me:

• It's tiny, a bit smaller than Washington state.
  
• It has 3.5 million residents, about 1/3 more than the City of Toronto. About 88% are of European descent, compared to just over 50% in Toronto.
  
• It is considered the most secular of South American countries.
  
• It is the first Latin American country to legalize same-sex marriage. (This is probably related to the above factoid!)
  
• It's had a very colourful political history and is now headed by a leftist coalition.
  
• Its national sport is...you guessed it: football!

I also found an update on Diego Forlan, sounding gracious in defeat, but game for Saturday. Yep, Dean Winchesterly decent!
