 Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Rosario is a major port that has suffered the effects of being forgotten for a long time and abandoned for the benefit of Buenos Aires.
Rosario is ruled by two governement bodies: the Executive, represented by the Intendente (Mayor), and the Legislative, represented by the Concejo Deliberante (Deliberative Council), with 42 members (which is too many; a recent project proposed to reduce the quantity to 12, but as you might have guessed, it wasn't well received).
Rosario has long had the misfortune of being the most populated centre in the province after the capital, which means it gathers 50% of the province's taxes, but they go north, to Santa Fe, and little comes back.
