Santiago is the Capital of the Republic of Chile.
In-Game Description[edit | edit source]
From the tree-trunk neoclassical pillars of the Palacio de La Moneda to the sacred summit of El Plomo, Santiago is a city of flame and hope. It is the political, cultural, and economic center of Chile, and as such, it is at the center of the growing extremism of the Chilean psyche. Protesters sport armbands of every color and slogans of every persuasion, and their fiery passion seems ready to spark the city into an unstoppable blaze.
Whether Santigo is turned to ash or saved from the heat of extremism does not matter much to the soul of the city; Santiago has been razed and had its earth salted many times, and each time it has rebuilt itself grander than the last, with an undying defiance towards nihilism and death.
It has been said that Chile has found stability in misery. If this is true, then no one informed the people of Santiago-- they are too obsessed with ideology to be stable, and protest too often to find time to be miserable. From atop San Cristóbal Hill, a gleaming white statue of the Virgin Mary watches over her beloved city with pride and faith.
