Chile comprende una larga y estrecha franja de tierra conocida como Chile continental, entre el Océano Pacífico y la Cordillera de los Andes, que se extiende entre los 17º29'57'S y los 56º32'S de latitud (Islas Diego Ramírez), limitando al norte con Perú, al este con Bolivia y Argentina, y al sur con el Paso Drake. Además, posee territorios insulares en el Océano Pacífico, como el Archipiélago Juan Fernández, Sala y Gómez, Islas Desventuradas y la Isla de Pascua (ubicada en la Polinesia), totalizando una superficie de 755.838,7 km².
Por otra parte, Chile reclama soberanía sobre una zona de la Antártida de 1.250.257,6 km², denominada Territorio Chileno Antártico y comprendida entre los meridianos 90º y 53º Oeste prolongando su límite meridional hasta el Polo Sur. Esta reclamación está congelada de acuerdo a lo establecido por el Tratado Antártico, sin que su firma constituya una renuncia. Debido a su presencia en Sudamérica, Oceanía y la Antártida, Chile se define a sí mismo como un país tricontinental.
Sus cerca de 17 millones de habitantes promedian índices de desarrollo humano, porcentaje de globalización, PIB per cápita, nivel de crecimiento económico y calidad de vida, que se encuentran entre los más altos de América Latina.

Did you know?
Chile is politically divided into 15 regiones, which are both named and numbered (designated by a Roman Numeral). Additionally each region is divided into several provinces. Understanding political divisions is essential to doing family history, because these divisions determine where records are recorded and archived. To learn more about Chile's political division.
