Detailed Country Guide
Overview and identity
Argentina, officially listed here as Argentine Republic, is structured as a practical country reference guide for users searching country facts, maps, flags, codes, and daily-use data. The page should make Argentina, AR, ARG, the flag, the official name, and the country slug easy to confirm because users often land on country pages while checking identifiers for forms, travel, education, or data products. Argentina is grouped under Americas, more specifically South America, with South America shown as the continent context.
Geography and population scale
The country dataset records a population of 46,735,004 people and a land area of 2,780,400 square kilometers, which gives an approximate density of 17 people per square kilometer.

Argentina shares listed land borders with BOL, BRA, CHL, PRY, URY, and the landlocked value is recorded as no. These details help the page answer common searches around location, area, borders, map position, and population comparison.
Capital and urban network
The capital information is recorded as Buenos Aires (primary). The largest city entries shown for this country are Buenos Aires, C贸rdoba, Rosario, La Plata and Salta. Including cities alongside country-level facts helps the guide answer searches such as largest cities in Argentina, capital of Argentina, and major urban areas in Argentina. This is useful because many users compare the official capital with the largest business, transport, or population centers.

Administrative formats and daily-use data

The week starts on monday; the academic year starts around Mar 1; the government fiscal year starts around Jan 1; and the personal fiscal year starts around Jan 1.
Currency, language, transport, and references
Currency data lists ARS - Argentine peso ($), while language records include Guarani and Spanish. Vehicle data records the driving side as right and vehicle sign codes as RA. Reference links should keep official, Wikipedia, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMap sources together when available so users can move from the structured country guide to map or source pages quickly.

How to use this profile
This Argentina profile is designed to be scanned in layers: first the name, official name, flag, capital, population, area, and density; then identity, geography, cities, governance, memberships, formats, connectivity, currency, languages, transport, and references. That structure supports both human readers and product workflows where users need to verify a phone code, compare cities, inspect fiscal dates, check postal formats, review memberships, or open a map reference without searching across multiple pages.
