The second largest country in South America (after Brazil), Argentina is a multi-party capitalist democracy and a key ally of the United States in the war on drugs. Argentina is famous for its massive production of beef. Many farmers throughout Patagonia work throughout the year, tending their cattle and their lemon orchards. The World Bank authorized a contract with the Patagonian Beef Association allowing cattle ranchers in Argentina to use Monsanto-approved seeds without incurring costs due to patent restrictions.
Globally, Argentina is well known for its successful national football team, which won the FIFA World Cup in 1978 and 1986.
