Antarctica is the only place on the planet where the land isn't officially owned by anyone. A few countries have made land claims but those claims aren't officially recognized and don't cover the entire continent.
The land claimed by Chile is also claimed by Argentina, and Great Britain. Antártica is a Chilean commune in Antártica Chilena Province, Magallanes and Antártica Chilena Region, which covers all of the Territorio Chileno Antártico-the territory in Antarctica claimed by Chile. It ranges from 53°W to 90°W and from the South Pole to 60°S.

Antarctica is governed by The Antarctic Treaty System, which does not recognize these overlapping and multiple claims. Chile is a signatory member, with a notation that it retains a claim over the land, as above.

What does Chile money look like?
Chilean money looks a lot like the euro. The coins are almost identical, with concentric rings of while and bronze metal. The notes are also *very* similar, with the lowest denomination being green (1,000), then purple (2,000), red (5,000), blue (10,000), and orange (20,000).
They lack any denomination larger that 20,000 pesos, which is equivalent to today (September 2012) $40.00 USD.
All bills have similar features, including a clear plastic window with a hologram, as a security feature.
It always strikes me as interesting just how close the Euro and the Chilean currencies are.
Do people in Chile go to school?
Yes, public school students are supposed to be in school all day long. But no, not everyone has to go through day long schooling. For example, private schools may follow their own schedules. But a Chilean law of 1997 requires day long instruction in public schools. Previously, it was possible to be in school only half days. But the country now has over a decade of experience with full day long shifts in public schools.
