El Salvador

Narrow Central American coffee farm who once invaded neighbouring Honduras over a football match. A cheap place to go surfing and hire death squads. In political and military terms, a shining example of how America got involved without actually getting involved, and then denied getting involved when everybody knew they were involved before finally being told to shag off by everybody else involved.

Likely to invade Honduras again, over football again, this time over who loves FC Barcelona and especially Leo Messi the most.

Belize

Tiny Central American crack addiction masquerading as a country. At odds with its Mexican and Guatemalan neighbours due to profound cultural difference, notably that it is English-speaking and that it has a belligerent and lazy population. Lays claim to the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world, almost none of which is in its territorial waters. Not famous for anything else except for not having a hotel suitable for Harrison Ford in the whole country.

Chile

Stringy South American republic with delusions of European-ness and a penchant for prosperity-ending coups. Has been at sniping-skirmish, if not all-out-war, with all of its neighbours for much of its history, embarrassingly annexing a southern Peruvian town with then democratically voted itself back to Peru. Like Iceland, regularly shuts down global air travel with novel use of volcanoes. Should be better at rugby.

French Polynesia

Geographically spread group of islands more homosexually French than any country except, well, France. Not known as a conveyor belt for New Zealand rugby talent, unlike just about everywhere else in the Pacific. Postcard beautiful atolls popular with manta rays. honeymooners and rich older Frenchmen with their teenage mistresses. Like all parts of the world currently and formerly French, has an unexplained and annoying love affair with Bob Marley.
