      Most of south America with some exceptions like weed in Uruguay and coca leaves in some regions.

            I meant the culture in uruguay. From what i read they are really progressive and have a pretty good economy.

              Yes but even being mostly from the same ancestry Argentinians are super loud to declare themselves the Europe of the Americas.
              To be fair Uruguay, like you said is more European than them.
