Government

• Chile has a representative democratic republic, which is just like us! Or the U.S. Either way it works!

• This means they elect someone who is both head of state and head of government.

• They have three branches of government as well.

• Their legal system is civil law-based.

Cities

• SANITAGO! THE CAPITAL!

• Concepcion, which Alec giggled at.

• Antofagasta, which is also a sweet name.

Culture

• Many foods are influenced by Spanish cuisine.

• Soccer is the national sport, very popular.

• Polka is the national dance. Sometimes Alec listens to polka alone.

Tourists

• EASTER ISLAND! Which has very large heads. Like Alec-sized.

• Lake Villarica, close to the Villarica volcano. BOOM!

• San Marcos Cathedral, designed by Gustav Eiffel. The Eiffel Tower dude.
