Where it is
Argentina is grouped in South America, within Roam’s South America region. Its land-border list includes 5 countries in this atlas: Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Argentina has a recorded area of 2,780,400 square kilometres. Among the 12 countries assigned to South America in this dataset, it ranks 2 by area, from largest to smallest. Brazil is immediately above it in that ordering, at 8,515,767 km². Peru is immediately below it, at 1,285,216 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 45,851,378 people for Argentina in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 16 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Guaraní and Spanish. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Argentine Peso (ARS). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
