Quiz: How much do you know about Uruguay?

Uruguay is not a big country, but it has many cool things. It is the second smallest land in South America, yet most people can read and write, almost everyone. Long ago in 1877, the country made school free for kids, which was very rare at that time. Later, Uruguay gave laptops to all public school students, something no other country had done before. The capital city is Montevideo, and it is known as one of the safest places in Latin America. With over 600 kilometers of coast, Uruguay has wide beaches, and Punta del Este is the most famous one. People here love football a lot, and the country won the very first World Cup in 1930 and then again in 1950. Take this quiz and see how much you know about this small but special country.
