Chileball

Chileball is the Countryball representing the long and narrow nation of Chile.

This countryball lives in America, specifically in the southwestern part of South America. It's well-known for its taste for wine and frequent quakes. Chile's childhood friends are Ecuadorball and Brazilball. It is said that it has secret friendship with UKball, since Chileball helped him with the UK-Argentine conflict towards Falkland Islands, albeit Chileball denies this.

Chileball is the child of Spainball and one of its mistresses. It was born in 1818 with the assistance of Argentinaball as a nurse. As a child Chileball grew up in a tumultuous neighborhood developing a long-lasting rivalry with Peruball and Argentinaball. In fact, Chile defeated Peru in La Guerra del Pacífico, a war in wich the Peruvians lost part of their territory (from which Chile currently extracts copper, the base of its economy)

Chileball learned to swim by UKball and to do boxing from Franceball. When it became evident that Franceball was not a good boxer Chileball sought apprenticeship under the guidance of world-class boxer Reichtangle, and mastered war thanks to Prussiaball

Due to it's long topography, Chileball can sometimes take the shape of a worm/snake.

Personality and Features
He likes to work and looks down at Argentinaball calling him "lazy". Chileball prefer to build small modest houses and monuments while accusing Argentinaball of being a megalomaniac. In fact Chileball is obsessed with comparing to Argentinaball its brother and lifelong-rival.

Chileball copies a lot of things to Usaball and UKball like tea-time and Halloween. This considered as a lack of identity by his neighbour countries, which is in part true, since Chile tends to overlook and forget his Mapuche roots.

His favourite food include is empanadas, humitas, chilean hotdogs (known as "completos" locally), asado, cazuela, anticuchos (skewers) and ceviche. Peruball, who is a master chef, claims Chileball has stolen his recipes and pisco.

He likes to swear a lot and other countryballs think he doesn't speak Spanish properly. This last is true, because Chileball has deformed Spanish to it's limit, but has no problem when dealing with other countries.

Because of his broken and strange spanish, his laugh is deformed too; his laugh is like:

"jaksjaksjaksjaksjaksjaksjaksjaskjskaak"

USAball often confuses him with Texasball and vice versa.

Natural Disasters
Chileball has passed through all of them (except for tornadoes and tropical stuff like plagues, etc).

But Chile has had a lot of earthquakes (Specially EARTHQUAKES) tsunamis and volcano eruptions.

The most destructive earthquake ever happened in Chile, specifically in Valdivia in 1960 and 2010.

Argentinaball is the only ball who really helped Chileball in times of disasters despite being "the enemy", and geting no help at all of those balls that Chileball call "friends"
