Chile is a country with a long and narrow territory that extends across the western tip of South America.

Vampire: The Masquerade

The Sabbat's control over Chile is a constant source of frustration to the Camarilla. Despite numerous attempts on the Camarilla's part to wrest control from the Sabbat, Chile remains beyond its grasp.

Chile is particularly annoying to the Ventrue because the Sabbat managed to beat them at their own game. Instead of merely using swarms of neonates and a blatant disregard for the Camarilla's Masquerade, Sabbat Lasombra purchased most of the industrial mines that make up most of Chile's natural resources and aided the kine in ousting Chile's Marxist government. Learning from its mistakes in Mexico, the Sabbat then began industrializing the country in ways that would not destroy the main population centers. In a matter of less than a decade, the Chilean people were introduced to the industrial age and educated on how best to avoid virtually every major setback plaguing Mexico. Despite numerous human-rights abuses committed under the Sabbat-supported Pinochet dictatorship, Chile's increasingly prosperous middle class has remained largely content with the status quo. Most importantly, national control of all the vital resources exported from Chile ensures that Camarilla-operated U.S. companies cannot come back into Chile and recapture the lands and mining operations that they sold to the Marxist government.

However, the Sabbat still cannot control the native population to the south, and they have not discovered a way to keep ecoterroristic Lupines from savaging their industrial complexes. Many Sabbat in Chile rumor that Camarilla or Autarkis Gangrel are working in unison with the Lupines to bring an end to the Sabbat's rule. Additionally, Setite-backed drug traffickers still operate in the region, though they are not so much of a threat as in Colombia or Central America. Chile's capital, Santiago, is a rapidly growing metropolis with over five million inhabitants. Due to loose regulations among the Sabbat, the area harbors a reputation for violence. Indeed, the very Sabbat packs that helped establish dominance in the region are beginning to threaten Santiago's stability. From afar, Camarilla vampires watch the growing chaos and fervently hope for Chile's continued implosion.
