The Eastern Republic of Uruguay (translated from the Spanish República Oriental del Uruguay), is a country in southern South America, bordered by Brazil to the north, the Uruguay River to the west, the estuary of the Rio de la Plata (River Plate) to the southwest, with Argentina on the other bank of both, and finally the South Atlantic Ocean to the southeast.

The name "Uruguay" comes from the language of the Guarani of Paraguay, "Uru" meaning "other side" and "guay" meaning "river."
