It looks like such a huge score for them, because coastline is generally more valuable than inland. I don't know if that's the case here though

The cold Humboldt Current runs along pretty much all of Chile. It contributes to a productive fishery, but is also why a lot of the land is desert. You win some, you lose some, I guess.

Yeah, coast is nice but I wonder if it's nice if you only got coast.

It must make it pretty hard to design transport infrastructure for example. But I guess the country is still fairly wide so maybe it doesn't matter much.
