( Argentina)
Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic (Spanish República Argentina, Spanish pronunciation [re'pußlika a?xen'tina]), is a country in South America, constituted as a federation of 23 provinces and an autonomous city. It is the second largest country in South America by land area, and eighth in the world. Its continental area is 2,766,890&_160;km² (1,068,302&_160;sq&_160;mi), between the Andes mountain range in the west and the southern Atlantic Ocean in the east and south. Argentina borders Paraguay and Bolivia to the north, Brazil and Uruguay to the northeast, and Chile to the west and south. Argentina also claimed 969,464&_160;km² (374,312&_160;sq&_160;mi) of Antarctica, known as Argentine Antarctica, overlapping other claims made by Chile (Chilean Antarctic Territory) and the United Kingdom (British Antarctic Territory); all such claims have been suspended by the Antarctic Treaty of 1961. Argentina has the second highest Human Development Index level[5] and the third highest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in purchasing power parity in Latin America.[6] Argentina's nominal GDP is the 31st largest in the world;[7] but when purchasing power is taken into account, its total GDP makes it the 23rd largest economy in the world.[8][9] The country is currently classified as an Upper-Middle Income Country[10] or as a secondary emerging market by the World Bank.[11][12] The name Argentina (from Latin argentum silver) was first used extensively in the 1612 book Historia del descubrimiento, población, y conquista del Río de la Plata (History of the discovery, population, and conquest of the Río de la Plata) by Ruy Díaz de Guzmán, naming the territory Tierra Argentina (Land of Silver).[13][14]
