    Paraguay and Uruguay
    Or officially the Republic of Paraguay and the Oriental Republic of Uruguay
    No way. Yes way
    The two South American countries that outsiders often get mixed up that are both between Brazil and Argentina. The way I’ve always remembered where each is located is P U, and the P is always over the U. Yeah, I’m a weird guy, what can I say.
    But while folks confuse the two, they are actually both quite different.
    For starters, Paraguay is about twice as big as Uruguay. It also has about twice the population of Uruguay. (P- 7,152,703, U- 3,449,285) 90% of Paraguay lives east of the Paraguay river. Paraguay is also growing at a faster rate.
    Paraguay is landlocked, Uruguay borders the Atlantic Ocean, for crying out loud. But hold up, despite being landlocked, the country has coasts and ports on the Paraguay and Paraná rivers, and the Paraná-Paraguay Waterway does exit to the Atlantic Ocean. See those beaches? They are in Paraguay, yo. Oh and Paraguay has the largest navy of any landlocked country in the world.
    Paraguay and Uruguay don’t even border each other. Paraguay borders another landlocked country, actually...Bolivia.
    Being further south and by the ocean, Uruguay has a more temperate climate. He never gets too hot or cold there, but in Paraguay it's much more varied. This map sums it up. Southeast Paraguay has a climate more similar to Uruguay, but the more north and west you go the more tropical it gets. Paraguay actually has two distinct geographic regions, divided by the Paraguay River. The eastern region, which is mostly grassy plains and wooded hills, and the western region, also known as the Chaco, which is mostly marshy plains with random big hills in certain spots. Paraguay also has a wet and dry season. Uruguay, for the most part, does not.
    The median age is younger in Paraguay. (P- 26.3, U- 35.8) The life expectancy is higher in Uruguay. (P- 74.6, U- 78.4) And the infant mortality rate is also much lower there.

      Dispite their similar names, flags and being somewhat small countries that used to be part of Austria-Hungary, they're completely different.

    Having lived in both countries, I can confirm that this is nearly all accurate, although the pronunciation made me wince approximately 47 times. President Hayes didn't arbitrate the territorial dispute over the Chaco until 1878, eight years after the end of the Triple Alliance War, but he is absolutely a national hero in Paraguay and far better remembered there than in his own country. Religion is far more prevalent in Paraguay; most Uruguayans take pride in being a secular nation and don't maintain religious ties. There is a much broader variety of cuisine available in Paraguay, since they have their own traditional foods (comidas típicas such as mbeju, chipa, sopa paraguaya, etc) as well as more Asian and other ethnic options. There is good food in Uruguay too, but about 80% of it is steak, pizza, and pasta. Despite being landlocked, Paraguayans also eat more fish than Uruguayans, oddly enough. But I think one of the most notable differences is the friendliness of the people. Uruguayans are typically polite but reserved, and less likely to branch out by making a friend outside of their established circle of family and close friends. However, Paraguayans are among the most welcoming and hospitable people I have ever encountered anywhere. Especially if you are outside of the capital, it's not uncommon to strike up a conversation with a local and be invited over for merienda (late afternoon snack) or a meal.

    Oriental means “eastern” or “to the east” in Spanish, and since the country is named after the River Uruguay, “Republica Oriental del Uruguay” translates to “Republic to the east of the Uruguay (River)”. “Oriental Republic of Uruguay” is a bad translation

      No, it's actually call Oriental cause it originated from the Banda Oriental from the Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata, called that because it was the easternmost part of the colony. It lost most of it's territory due to Portuguese's Brazil expansion.

      Its official name _República Oriental del Uruguay_ alludes to its geographical location, it 'might' also be nodding to that historical name as well. But it isn't necessarily true that it does. As to why the English translation uses it so badly, I'm not sure.

      True, but the usual translation of the official name Oriental Republic of Uruguay doesn't really do a good job of indicating that the republic is 'east' of the river ‘called’ Uruguay, the name in Spanish isn't trying to be artsy, it is being literal.
      If you translate back the English name you get _República de Uruguay del Oriente_ “Eastern Republic of Uruguay” or “Republic of Uruguay of the East”, as if there was a _Western_ Republic of Uruguay out there.

    All education is free in Uruguay, including all the careers at university, you can choose private education but you don´t need to as you can study any career absolutely free. It´s not like there are only 2 free universities, 15 faculties in the country are part of UDELAR which means University of the Republic, it covers all the country and it is by far the country's largest university, as well as the second largest public university in South America. It has a student body of 137,757 undergraduate students and 6,351 postgraduate students. It was founded on 18 July 1849 and it is an amazing place to study, I study there myself (I am Uruguayan). Almost nobody attends private education as public education is really good and inclusive.

      2011 COPA America Champions
      2014 World Cup Round of 16
      2018 World Cup Quarterfinals
      2019 COPA America Quarterfinals (lost to Peru in a shootout who eventually made the Final)
      For Paraguay ⚽️ , the 2010s weren’t kind to them. Other then the 2010 World Cup Quarterfinals, Paraguay weren’t very good in the last decade:
      Remember, they’re 10 nations in the South American Qualifying.
      2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying: Finished Dead Last in South America Qualifying with only 3 wins out of 16 games.
      2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying: Finished 7th in Qualifying. However, they were just 2 PTS out of an international playoff spot.

    I'm from Uruguay, great video! Just some small corrections. 1st of all, our national hero, Artigas, is more of a regional hero. He did not fight for Uruguay's independence, but for the "Liga de los Pueblos Libres" (League of Free Peoples), which was a proposed Confederation of the Provincia Oriental (current Uruguay, "Oriental Province"), and several argentinan provinces, with a capital that would NOT be Buenos Aires, which angered their elite and among other things (like his proposed redistribution of land) made the elites of Buenos Aires and Montevideo ally with the Portuguese to oppose Artigas, who was defeated and fled to Paraguay in 1820. So he never supported the idea of an independent uruguayan state. Neither did the 33 orientals, the plan was joining the United Provinces, our independence came as a result of British mediation with Argentina and Brazil. 2nd of all, our poverty data yeah is closer to 9%, but several independent economists and journalists here estimate it's much higher than that, because the way we measure our poverty is very heavily "income based" and doesn't factor in access to education, housing, unemployment (another one that's poorly measured), etc. And 3rd, about Paraguay, Francia was a "dictator" in the Roman sense, basically a leader that exercises power in a time of emergency; not like we use the term today for a leader who turns their back on the Constitution and governs arbitrarily. Sorry if it got too long, it was a great video, but as it's not that common that someone from abroad makes a video about us I got excited! Cheers!
    P.S.: Oh and one more thing, we got involved in the Guerra de la Triple Alianza (The Paraguayan War) because there was a coup d'etat. Our nationalist "blanco" President Berro was allied with Paraguay, which neither Brazil, Argentina nor Britain liked, so the liberal "colorados" led by military leader ("caudillo") Venancio Flores helped mostly by the Brazilians led an armed takeover of the government to align us with the politics of the leading empire of the time and our bigger neighbors. The Partido Nacional (the nationalists) have Colonel Leandro Gomez, who led the defense of Paysandu, one of our bigger cities, against the traitors as one of their biggest heroes, and really his memory should be more recognized by the whole country. Sadly, party politics makes that difficult. For anyone who undestands Spanish there's a great folk song that talks about the Siege of Paysandu, it's called "Paysandu" by Tabare Etcheverry. And Flores' name should live in infamy in this country but sadly not a lot of people know of this or care. One of the biggest stains on our nation's history and a debt we'll never be able to repay Paraguay.

    Fun fact: the Itaipú Dam was a joint venture built by Brazil and Paraguay.

As you mentioned in the video, even with the agreement, Paraguay ends up with over 5x the energy they need, which they sell back to Brazil because, with its >200 million citizens, all that energy is still not enough to supply even half the country’s needs!

    One correction about Paraguay: Nearly everyone also has access to abundant, clean drinking water, as the country sits on top of one of the world's largest aquifers. Even very rural farming communities, like the one I lived in, can easily sink wells to access potable water. (A notable exception being the urban poor, however.)
