150 miles... :)
There are other countries thiner than Chile. However, Chile is the thiner country when compared his lenght/width ratio .
Chile is approximately 4,300 kilometers long and varies in width from 177 kilometers to 356 kilometers.
Chile has a length of about 4300 km and a width of about 180 km, which means its length is about 24 times its width.

Chile is the longest and narrowest country in the world, stretching over 4,300 kilometers in length but averaging only 177 kilometers in width.
Chile is 743,812 sq km including Easter Island.
760000 square kilometers
The average width of Chile from east to west is approximately 177 kilometers (about 110 miles). This narrow span is due to the country's long and elongated shape, stretching over 4,300 kilometers (about 2,670 miles) from north to south along the western edge of South America. The Andes Mountains run along the eastern border, contributing to this distinct width.
Chile is a long narrow country. If, by "left to right" you mean west to east, then you are measuring its WIDTH, not length. It is roughly 250 miles west to east, but over 2,000 north to south.

Chile is usually recognized as being the thinnest country in the world, however, there are many countries thinner simply due to their small size. It is also not the longest, as there too are several more longer than Chile.
