It is unclear if you are asking about characteristics of Chile, the pepper, or Chile, the country. Since chile is not capitalized in the question, then, this answer will consider the hot pepper: we Chileheads do believe there are many cultural characteristics! For the most comprehensive information on the web about chiles IMO, I recommend the Graeme Castelton web pages, see related links below.

There is a culture of people who love hot chiles and grow, display, dry, eat, photograph, talk about, share, have "hot luck" dinners, make recipes for, share tips on growing and cooking, and, in the past before there was ready access to some of the more exotic types, there was seed sharing and discussion about where to find them in common locations. They are discussed by these Chileheads similarly to how oenophiles discuss and describe wines with fragrance, flavor, heat levels and complimentary foods for the different varietals.
