Chile is about 4,300 km from top to bottom and rarely more than 200 across, so knowing you are in it says almost nothing about where: Arica and Punta Arenas are as far apart as Oslo and Tunis. The region is the unit that fixes it. Each is run by a regional governor, elected since 2021, and a regional council, and each has been known by a Roman numeral as much as by a name since the 1970s, which is still how many Chileans say it ("la Octava", for Biobío).
The map has the 16 regions in force since 2018, when Ñuble was split off the Biobío, which is the change most older maps miss. Arica y Parinacota and Los Ríos are from 2007, so a map from before that has 13.
Chile claims a sector of Antarctica as part of Magallanes, and owns Easter Island, the Juan Fernández archipelago and the Desventuradas Islands, all of which sit in Valparaíso. Only the last two are drawn where they really are. Easter Island is 3,500 km out in the Pacific, and drawn there it would more than double the width of the map, so it is moved into the empty sea off the north coast and fenced off with a dashed line. Because the regions are the provinces dissolved, the island is part of Valparaíso here and clicking the mainland answers for it. The Antarctic claim is not drawn.
The zones above the regions have no government and are older than all of them: the Norte Grande is the desert, the Norte Chico the semi-arid valleys below it, the Zona Central holds most of the population and the capital, the Zona Sur is the lakes and forest, and the Zona Austral is fjords, ice fields and Patagonia.
The Región Metropolitana is one of the smallest regions and holds around forty percent of the country's people. It is the one that is nearly landlocked, between Valparaíso on the coast and O'Higgins to the south.
Ñuble was the Biobío's northern third until 2018, and keeps the cities of Chillán and Chillán Viejo. A map older than that draws it as part of Biobío, with no border between them.
Magallanes is the southernmost and, with its Antarctic claim, the largest region, and holds Punta Arenas and Tierra del Fuego. It shares the island of Tierra del Fuego with Argentina.
16, since Ñuble was created in September 2018. There were 15 from 2007 and 13 before that.
They were numbered from north to south when they were created in 1974, from I (Tarapacá) to XII (Magallanes), with the Región Metropolitana as RM. Later regions got the numbers XIV, XV and XVI, so the order is no longer strictly north to south.
No. It is a province of the Valparaíso region, although it has had a special territory status since 2007. In this game it is drawn off the north coast so the map stays a usable shape.
Chile claims a sector of Antarctica as the Antártica Chilena province of Magallanes. The claim is not drawn in this game.
The macrozones, the five parts of the country Chileans use to say where something is. They are not administrative divisions, and they are the groups this game is cut by.
The tier below this one is Chile Provinces, and the 16 answers here are the 16 groups there, so it is the place to go once the regions come easily. For another long country at this level, see Argentina Provinces.
