    You ****ed with pretty much the entire western hemisphere (exept for canada (otherwise Asher will throw a fit)), and an interesting chunk of the eastern.

    You did not, however, 'step into' Chile.

        We almost did.

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Crisis

        After the Itata left Iquique to return to the U.S., the crew of the Baltimore took shore leave at Valparaiso. During the US sailors' shore leave on October 16, 1891, a mob of enraged Chileans angry about the Itata's capture (among other possible motives), attacked the sailors from the Baltimore. Two sailors were killed and several were wounded seriously. That Valparaiso riot prompted saber-rattling from enraged US officials, threatening war against Chile, which by now was controlled by victorious Congressional forces. War between the U.S. and Chile was ultimately averted when the Chilean government bowed, and while maintaining that the seamen were to blame for the riot offered to pay an indemnity of $75,000 to the victims' families.

              How underdeveloped would you say is the Philippines when compared to its neighbours? (Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malasia)

                Why would anyone here invest the sovereign debt of a specific country? Do any posters here really have the expertise to do better than buying some kind of developing nation index?

                        I don't think I'll be able to find a map with the country of Tongo on it, genius.

                          Tonga is in the south Pacific, very roughly half way between Chile and New Zealand.

                          It seems a dirt poor third world country. Stable but without much hope for better.
                          Puts tongue in cheek: their main exports seem to be rugby players and night club bouncers to Australia and New Zealand. Their biggest import being foreign aid.

                              Surprisingly, maps have things on them other than just countries. Armed with this new revelation perhaps you can now find this Tongo you seek?
