How the hell did THIS become a country?

It is literally all coasts

It has a WALL protecting them from Argentina.

Most people live at least an hour away from the sea, if that's coast to you then I guess you are right

would def have the most powerful navy in the world

why no one lives here? too cold? looks like a plain suitable for nomads at least

the chilean side at least is the total opposite of plain, there is barely any flat ground to build anything with the exception of the southernmost area

We exist to keep communism away from the Pacific

haha funny snake country

I don't understand what is the problem with this being a country. Can you be more specific?

interesting
>southernmost area
can you see antartica from there?

Based

God, I wish

nah, its still like 1000km away

It's just like Norway but less gay

hello, fellow patagonian here. Reasons:
1- cold (-ish) desert
2- this was nomad indigenous territory until the end of the XIX century, there wasnt many of them to begin with and others were killed/imprisoned in buenos aires
3-now we have some internal inmigrants but there isnt a large economy to attract them

>Most people live at least an hour away from the sea
>Iquique
>Valparaiso
>Lota
>Talcahuano
>many more that have the sea literally next door
No jeez, I live 15 minutes away from it. Santiago is the one and only hole without sea.

There are people living there, but not in large numbers, just small towns or villages.
Except maybe Punta Arenas, in Tierra del Fuego, with some 130.000 hueones.
But yes, it is cold.

The tallest mountains outside of the Himalayas are in Chile/Argentina. Isn't that neat?

no

40% of the populatation lives in the Metropolitan region alone, which is entirely landlocked. The big majority of the Maule (4°), Araucanía (5°) and O'Higgins (6°) regions live inland as well. Don't come to a thread and spread misinformation

The Argentinian Patagonia is suitable for ranching, but so is most of the rest the country, where climate conditions are less harsh. They have a lot of sheep ranches but it's not as big of an industry compared to Cattle.
Patagonia is cold but not brutally so. The thing is that in Argentina it's very dry, and in Chile very mountainous, and also it rarely gets warm, they barely have summers.

Need I keep going?

commie

ok, step out of your bubble the next time you try to be smart

There's still a 60% who DOESN'T live in Santiago.
I'm not spreading any false information, all those cities have a lot of chileans living in them.

I didn't say Chimbarongo. Talca and Rancagua are large enough cities.
Also,
>lota

sheep fuck up grass because they often pull them from the root, making the desertification issues even worse, you can jump on google street and see the few sad shrubs covering the ground on a good 70% of our Patagonia, and the greener parts are already owned and exploited
not the best livestock feed material
besides, lots of population is the exact opposite of what you want with agrarian production, livestock and crops are profitable if the land is plenty and cheap, you wouldn't start a farm in the middle of new york city, and you also don't need a ton of people to support that kind of activity either, so even if sheep culture was to be subsidized to force it to grow ten fold you'd still only see a small set of people moving there for work

Mining history, very important, do not underestimate big Lota
