Chile is divided into 16 regions, and below them into 56 provinces: the tier a presidential delegate heads each one, and Chileans use its name for the stretch of country around a city. The communes under them, 346 in all, are what the elected mayors run, and a province is mostly a group of them. This page is the whole list of provinces, grouped by region the way the game groups it.
The map has the provinces as they stood after Ñuble was made a region in 2018, which is when its three provinces (Diguillín, Itata and Punilla) were drawn. Most regions have between two and four, and the exceptions are the Región Metropolitana with six and Valparaíso with eight. A handful, like Santiago and Valparaíso, share their name with their region's capital.
Scale varies enormously. The provinces of the far south are each the size of a small European country, while those around Santiago and Valparaíso are a few kilometres across. Easter Island is a province in its own right, 3,500 km out in the Pacific: it is moved into the empty sea off the north coast and fenced with a dashed line, rather than letting it more than double the width of the map. The Juan Fernández and Desventuradas islands belong to the Valparaíso province and are drawn where they are, as is the stretch of the southern fjords.
Each region can be switched on and off in the start dialog, which is the only sane way through a list this long. Arica y Parinacota is two questions, Valparaíso is eight.
Santiago province is the heart of the capital region and about a seventh of the area of the Región Metropolitana. The other five provinces ring it: Cordillera to the east, Maipo to the south, Talagante and Melipilla to the west and Chacabuco to the north.
Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, is a province of Valparaíso with a single commune. In reality it is 3,500 km from the coast. The game draws it off Tarapacá, in a corner fenced by a dashed line.
Antártica Chilena covers the islands south of the Beagle Channel, including Cape Horn and Puerto Williams, which is the southernmost town in the world. Its Antarctic claim is not drawn.
56, since the three provinces of Ñuble were created in 2018. Before that there were 54.
It is headed by a delegate appointed by the president, and groups several communes. It is the middle of three tiers: region, province and commune.
Ñuble became a region in 2018 and was split off the Biobío, taking its provinces with it, and one province became three in the process.
Yes. Isla de Pascua is one of the eight provinces of Valparaíso, and in this game it is drawn off the north coast so the map stays a usable shape.
The tier below the province, run by an elected mayor and council. There are 346, and they are what a Chilean address is in.
The tier above this one is Chile Regions, and the 16 groups here are its 16 answers, so it is the place to start. For another country at this level, see Spain Provinces.
