Sovereign Countries of South America

They've all had dreadful, corrupt, violent, authoritarian and repressive governments in the recent past, but a few of them have improved somewhat lately, just a bit. Voted for Uruguay on that basis.

wonder if any of those dreadful corrupt violent authoritarian repressive governments got any outside help

Jose Marti to thread

yeah, NV, all their base are belong to US

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Uruguay is the one whose President we offended when searching for Snowden y/n?

That was Bolivia iirc.

Bolivia plane was diverted to an European airport.

I've been to all but four, the ones I liked best were Colombia and Bolivia.

i love south america, definitely the area i've traveled the most apart from central america. voted peru for rich history, wildly varied landscapes and environments, best cuisine by a long shot - there is really no contest there, overwhelming presence of archeological sites (e.g. machu picchu, saqsayhuaman, choquiquero, ollantaytambo, choquequirao, and those are all inca - just ONE of the dozens and dozens and dozens of rich pre-columbian indigenous cultures), sophisticated weaving and textile practices, and also since my dad was born there.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
