Question

What is the most higly industrialized country?

Answer 1

Brazil. Argentina is 2nd. Chile is 3rd.

See The Wikipedia entires on Brazil, and List of Countries by GDP to see some hard evidence by the numbers.

Brazil is huge; it is much larger than any other South American country. So, it has that advantage from just sheer size. Furthermore, even without looking up the GDP, I knew it had to be Brazil. Why? I live in Buenos Aires, and while most of our stuff is made locally, there are still plenty of imported products. This is anecdotal evidence, but I can tell you that the majority of imported products are made in Brazil.

On top of that, when I was looking for jobs, I found that lots of American companies have facilities in Brazil. Far fewer have anything in Argentina.
