Antarctica isn't a country.
Country: Hyrule
Government: Hierarchy / Monarchy
School: watz a skool?
Antarctica is a Country and a Continent, just like Australia (as I was taught).
Massachusetts, United States
Capital: Boston
Inhabitants: About 6.5M (in which the complete U.S. is 300M+ approx.)
Climate: Generally Cold Winters and Hot Summers, really in the middle.
School: You have to go to public Schools, from Grades 1-12. Luckily most public schools don't make you wear certain clothes; you can wear any clothes you want, with restrictions, like really short shorts. Pre-school is optional, and you then have Elementary School, Middle School, High School, and if you want, College. Optionally though, you can also go to private schools. But you actually have to pay to get into those :o
Form of Government: A Constitutional Republic and Representative Democracy (here I'm talking about U.S. though). In which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law. So basically, we all vote for what we want, while agreeing to the constition made in the late 19th Century. The government also has 3 branches to it. Legislative branch in which there is the Senate and House of Representatives. The House of Representatives has 435 people, in which each person represents a different district. The states that have the most people have more Representatives, while states with few people have the minimum of 1. Ex, 7 states have 1 rep, but California has 53 lol. At the same time, 2 senates represent each state, to make 50 members total, to form the senate. The next branch is the Executive Branch, which is the President. The last branch is the Judicial branch, which has the SUPREME COURT (LOLZ).
Typical American thing: Well it varies. Although I might say coffee for adults lol. And McDonalds.
Famouse People: Ooh boy theres a lot. Too many to say.

Chile:

Climate: Because of Chile's long shape it has various climates - hot on the north (near the Equatorial line) and cold on the south (near Antartica).
School system: First there's Pre-Basic education for kids 2-5, although it's not really mandatory - I've only been in the "Kinder" level for 5-year olds. Then there's elementary school from 1st to 8th Grade, the most important level of education. Then there's Middle School, with 1st to 4th Middle Grades (9th-12th in other countries). At last you may study in the University - from what I know this is the only level that is never free.
Form of government: Democracy
Popular Food: Chilean Wine.

-Bills: 1000 Pesos ("Luca"), 2000 Pesos (all 1000's are counted as "lucas" in our slang, so this would be "dos lucas"), 5000 Pesos, 10000 Pesos, 20000 Pesos.
Economy: We oftenly commerciate with USA, China, and other countries. Oh, and we have more than a third of world's copper.
Famous Chileans: Augusto Pinochet (Dictator that was president back in the 70s, now deceased), Salvador Allende (politician that was taken off his president job by Pinochet), Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda (Poets and Nobel Prize winners), Marcelo "Chino" Rios (ex-tennis player, that was the first Iberoamerican to be the N°1 player in the world, in 1998), Bernardo O'Higgins (played an important role in our independency, and he was also the first president, I think) and I can't think of more
