Chile is a Tier IV nation located in South America 
. Despite being a fairly strong country with it being one of the only nations to produce 
Titanium, Chile is largely overshadowed by its neighbor 
Argentina as well as Brazil.
Background
|
Chile was first settled as many as 10,000 years ago. Tribal people gathered in Chile's fertile valleys and on the country's long Pacific Coast. For a short period of time, the Incan civilization entered Chile, but the north was too barren and they did not expand into Chile for long. In 1536 the Europeans discovered Chile. The first to arrive were the Spanish led by Diego de Almagro. There were already hundreds of thousands of native peoples living in Chile at the time. Soon the Spanish began to conquer Chile and Pedro de Valdivia founded the city of Santiago in February 1541. Unlike Peru, Chile was not rich with gold and silver, but its central valley held the riches of agriculture. Soon Chile was part of the Spanish Empire. In 1810, the Chileans decided to fight for their independence from Spain. The war that followed was called the Reconquista. In 1817 armies led by famed Chilean patriot Bernardo O'Higgins and the hero of Argentina, Jose de San Martin defeated the Spanish. They crossed over the Andes to attack. Chile declared independence on February 12, 1818. Bernardo O'Higgins was the first leader of independent Chile. One of the most famous recent events to occur in Chile was when 33 miners were trapped deep within a gold mine in San Jose. Rescuers searched for the miners for 17 days and finally found them trapped 2,300 feet below the ground. All 33 men were eventually brought to the surface. The rescue was shown on live television and viewed by people all around the world. |

Threats
- Argentina requires Chile to form the
Rio de la Plata. 
Peru may colonize for the 
Inca Empire.
Brazil expands through Chile for the titanium deposits.
Strategy
Chile is one of the only countries with titanium reserves, making tank production much more easier. Chile is also almost entirely covered with rough mountainous terrain, which grants a solid advantage.
While Brazil may be an overwhelming threat, you don't have to worry about them. Your largest threat is actually Argentina. Build a suitable amount of Electronic Factories then sell five 
Electronics to AI nations for income. Either conquer or trade with 
Bolivia to receive tungsten, and buy 7.5 units of iron. Build two steel factories and one motor factory, for the production of tanks. Line the divisions on the Argentine-Chilean border; it is also advised not to move them upwards towards the north, as they move slow when mobilizing through the mountains.
If Argentina and/or Brazil are not players, declare war! Get 1,000 tanks and 100,000 infantry. Use the A.I. Luring strategy by moving the division towards an Argentine city and eliminate their home guard. It is not guaranteed to work, but ask other countries for manpower if needed but if it will not AID to you use Fascim it for manpower and make leaders to create groups so that you can do more damage or defense. Split your tanks into groups of 200 and buy enough oil to recruit another 1,000 tanks. Use them to take Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital. After that, split the remaining tanks and troops into groups of 30,000 troops and 200 tanks, and take the rest of Argentina. Then dominate South America!
Trivia
- Chile has a city called Los Angeles, despite the average person thinking of
California when they hear Los Angeles. - Chile is the only nation-as of the 3/4/2025 or the 4/3/2025 Update-to have 2 missions.
