how is Chile divided?
460527
Chile is divided into 13 regions, each of which is headed by an intendente appointed by the President. Every region is further divided into provinces with a Gobernador Provincial, also appointed by the President. Finally each province is divided into municipalities. which are sometimes referred to as comunas, each with its own mayor, and councilors, known as consejales elected by their inhabitants.\n\nEach region is designated by a name and a Roman numeral, assigned from north to south. In general, the Roman numeral is used, rather than the name. The only exception is the region where Santiago is situated, which is designated RM, that stands for Región Metropolitana, Metropolitan Region.\n\nIn 2005, the Chilean congress passed a reform to create two new regions, one in the north, around the city of Arica, and one in the south centered around Valdivia (aka Region of the Rivers). Being designated by numerals XIV and XV, both break the geographical numerical order from north to south. There is speculation that the numeral system will be dropped in favor of their formal names.

A water divide (also known in Commonwealth usage as a watershed) is the separation between neighbouring drainage basins, and lies along topographical peaks and ridges. Water divides are important geographical, and often also political, boundaries. A water divide is also sometimes called a water parting or a height of land (in North America, especially Canada).

yes, there is too much division and no discussion going on in this country.  democracy is about debate.  that means you have to listen as well as speak.

Progress anywhere depends on the overall degree of enlightenment, including spiritual enlightenment.  Also on the educational system or the lack thereof.  How fulsome it is....continuing education too.  Libraries, teachers, the respect for learning.\n\nYou can think about this yourself.  Too many details offend people and make enemies.  Never disparage, just show a little of the better way when you can, shining the light a bit higher than where they are.\n\nBlinding light does not work and may even get you killed.\n\nSmaller nations have less resources for everything.  Military dictatorships were very stunting.  They are making some progress, especially Chile.

There's no such thing.  The answer to this is in the eye of the beholder, besides they are equally divided over the country.

Today Chile’s social structure can be roughly divided into three classes. In the upper class are members of the old landed aristocracy as well as a more recently wealthy group of industrialists, merchants, politicians, and military men. Although these two segments of the upper class have power and prestige in common, they are often at odds politically and economically. Both groups supported the imposition of military rule, but by the end of the 1980s many backed the restoration of democratic politics.\n\nChile’s lower class consists of farm laborers, crafts workers, factory workers, and miners. This is the class that backed Salvador Allende’s coalition before 1973, that suffered the most from the policies of the military regime, and that again turned to left-wing parties after the end of military rule in 1990. Sharply falling real wages—wages calculated in terms of buying power—from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s increased the size of this group. Government policy in the 1990s and early 2000s endeavored to improve the health and education of this neglected part of the population.\n\nThe middle class, largely urban, is extremely varied in incomes, occupations, and interests. It is composed of professionals, teachers and university professors, civil servants, many private employers, and some small merchants, industrialists, and investors. Many members of the middle class benefited from Chile’s rapid economic growth in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s. Politically, members of the middle class participate in all parties.\n\nSocial mobility has been high in Chile, and upward social movement has been common. The period of military rule in the late 1900s at first appeared to be simply reactionary and traditionalist. But the free-market economic policies that it adopted ultimately led to increased social mobility.

Apparently it is legal,that does not make it fair or palatable.I think to destroy the glaciers would be a travesty.It is no surprise George is involved he is a republican,and they sacrifice anything in the name of the almighty dollar.As for the Chilean government well,lets see ,you have 12 million people,4 million of you support the rest of the population.The south and central portions of your country prosper,while the entire north suffers in poverty.Your government and businesses import most of your goods(except agriculture)and charge double tax on the goods so only those with money can buy them.Does it surprise me your government approved destruction of the glaciers and the people whose culture depends on them and the water flow,not really,after all in Chile to have is to have ,and to have is to have not.Those that have snub their noses at those that do not.

You are thinking of Korea - which is divided into North and South.  North being communist and South which is a Republic.\n\nVietnam has 5 municipalities (Can Tho, Da Nang, Hai Phong, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh) united as one Communist state.

I think it would be good to split the union especially now since its the 300th anniversary in 2007. I dont want to start arguments about countries which would survive outside of it or which countries support others. It is a myth that England supports the neighbouring countries though. Sure; Scotland for example is given a hefty supplemet every year to look after itself but only from money the UK (NOT England - contrary to popular belief) has earned ie from oil (which is actually Scottish anyway)and tourism - which all nations in the kingdom earn. Please dont continue flaming or anything. I havent said anything to insult anyone and everything I have said is fact. btw Robespierre made the classic fault assuming Wales and Scotland were in England. They are not and never have been, I strongly suggest you don't say that when you are in one of those smaller UK nations. You may be risking your health ;)

No. In the mid 19th century, the Italian states (seperate kingdoms) united to form what is now Italy. However, the Vatican state maintained it status and did not join Italy. To this day it is an autonomous nation and not governed by any laws of Italy.\n\nMonaco is in France and is also an independant nation (a Principate).
