Our Timeline Equivalent Buenos Aires City and Province, Argentina

Argentina is located in southeastern Pacha. Its climate is temperate. Originally inhabited by various Pachan Aboriginal groups, it came under Spanish, and then British colonialism. Argentina is famous for its official language, Argentinian, which started off as a creole language with major Spanish, English and Italian influences, but was modified intentionally to become the language currently spoken by a majority of the populace. As is illustrated by its official language and its three co-official languages (with the synthetic Interlingua being a fourth), Argentina is a linguistically diverse nation. Largely temperate, Argentina has a large ethnically European population. Its capital, Buenos Aires, is sometimes termed the "New York City of Pacha" or the "New York of the South", as it is known for its large size and its European-influenced yet multicultural nature.
