Abstract: Abstract Argentina has a total population of 36,260,130, a total surface area of 3,761,274 square kilometers (continental Argentina: 2,791,310 square kilometers and Antarctic Argentina: 969,464 square kilometers), and a density of 13 inhabitants per square kilometer. It is surrounded by Chile to the west; the Atlantic Ocean to the east; and Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil to the north (see Figure 3.1). Argentines’ ancestors mostly came from Europe, and were mainly Spaniards and Italians. There were also, in smaller numbers, German, French, and English immigrants. In 2004–2005 a national survey revealed that a total of 600,329 people recognized themselves as being pure aboriginals or descendents of the first generation. There is freedom of religion but Argentines are for the most part Roman Catholic. However, Jews, Protestants, Muslims, and many other religions live together peacefully. Since the adoption of the 1853 National Constitution the form of government has been representative, republican, and federal. The country is divided into 23 provinces and the federal capital, which has been an autonomous city since a modification of the Constitution in 1994.
