The Latin American Country Most Similar to Europe

Determining the Latin American country most similar to Europe requires considering various social, cultural, economic, and political factors. One way to answer this complex question is by analyzing the data from the Country Similarity Index. The index attempts to quantify how similar countries are to each other relative to other countries, using a variety of statistics from five broad categories: demographics, culture, politics, infrastructure, and geography.

very interesting

It appears whoever wrote the script just looked at the numbers - and assumed that nothing of what Uruguay has exists in the rest of the continent. Every country has European influence in everything from language to laws, everyone has public healthcare systems, infrastructure, etc. Argentina has had more crisis, but is way more European than Chile, which has an economy larger than Uruguay - etc. Venezuela was for a long time an economic powerhouse, Peru/Bolivia were the capital of the most important Spanish colony in South America. Colombia never has had a military dictatorship. Numbers and indexes, a 3 min. video do not give the full picture.

Uruguay is more likely to use robot voices like European countries.

I would say that Argentina, Brazil, and Chile also have significant European influence, even Paraguay to some extent. Essentially, the countries in the Southern cone of the South American continent,

Every country in the continent has significant, definitive European influence. We speak Spanish, Portuguese, French, English, and Creole. Christianity in all its versions is the main religion. All our constitutions and legal systems are derived from European laws. All of us (mostly the former Spanish colonies) have a strong native cultural influence and living native cultures, but still the majority of the people do not consider themselves as natives. Many get pretty confused when they go to the States, and find out they are not considered there as "white."

I thought the South American country with the largest Muslim population would be most like Europe.
