poor medical care also make this South American country unsuitable for our purposes.

      Venezuela:

      Positive. Oil resources: Venezuela has huge oil reserves, which can provide access to important resources in times of crisis. The country has a relatively strong military structure, which can help ensure order and security in times of crisis. Large woodlands and a warm climate can be attributed to the advantages of this country.

      Minuses. Venezuela is suffering from serious economic problems and political instability, resulting in limited access to basic goods and services, as well as reduced security. This is a very poor country with high crime. Venezuela faces a lack of critical infrastructure and humanitarian assistance, which makes it vulnerable in times of crisis, and poor health care also makes it an unattractive place of refuge in times of disaster.

      What do we come to after this small analysis? South American countries have their own unique advantages and disadvantages in the context of preparing for extreme situations, such as a world war or a pandemic. More developed countries with more stable economies, strong military and law enforcement structures, and well-developed infrastructure, such as Chile and Argentina, usually have more capacity to respond effectively to crisis situations. However, they also face their own challenges, such as natural disasters and social problems. Let’s add Uruguay and Costa Rica to the list to assess their preparedness for extreme situations, such as a global war or a pandemic:

      Uruguay:

      Positive. Uruguay is known for its political stability and peaceful situation. This can help to better manage crisis situations and prevent internal conflicts. Uruguay has significant agricultural land, which provides access to food and can mitigate the impact of the food crisis. Uruguay has low access to coping with other South American countries and high-quality medical care.

      Minuses. The first is the small size of the country. This can make it more difficult to provide the population with the necessary resources in the event of a crisis. Uruguay’s economy is limited and depends on the export of agricultural products. This can make the country more vulnerable to economic shocks during a crisis. Country has no natural resources and is also dependent on supplies from other countries.

      Costa Rica:

      Positive. Costa Rica has a rich biodiversity and ecological resources that provide access to various types of food and natural materials. Costa Rica is one of the most stable and peaceful countries in Central America, although recently criminal elements have been actively infiltrating the country, so the criminal situation has worsened and kidnapping and looting have begun to flourish there.

      Cons: Costa Rica may have limited resources to effectively prepare for extreme situations, such as a pandemic or war. Insufficient funding for public services and infrastructure can complicate the response to the crisis. Costa Rica is exposed to various geographical risks, including earthquakes, volcanic activity, and hurricanes. This can increase the complexity of crisis management and increase the level of vulnerability of the population.

      Puerto Rico

      Positive. One of the main advantages of Puerto Rico is its warm tropical climate. This makes the island very attractive. Puerto Rico provides various tax and economic benefits for investors and entrepreneurs, making it an attractive place for business. The island is rich in diverse nature, including picturesque beaches, mountains, jungles and crystal-clear rivers. This makes Puerto Rico attractive for outdoor and nature lovers. US citizens do not need a visa to visit Puerto Rico, since the island is a US territory, everyone else needs an American visa plus separately-permission to enter this country.

      Minuses. One of the main disadvantages of Puerto Rico is its serious economic problems. The island suffers from high unemployment, low incomes and extensive public debt. Puerto Rico sometimes experiences political instability and uncertainty about its status, including the question of independence from the United States. The island is subject to various natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. This can lead to destruction of infrastructure, loss of lives and economic losses. Some areas of Puerto Rico suffer from crime problems, including street crime, robberies, and drug trafficking. Despite the fact that Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, the level of education and access to quality medical care on the island is significantly lower than on the continental United States.

      In general, Uruguay and Costa Rica have their own strengths and weaknesses in the context of emergency preparedness. It is important that these countries continue to improve their civil protection systems, develop infrastructure, and prepare their populations for possible crises in order to ensure the safety and well-being of their citizens.

      RATING OF SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES

      To sum up, it seems to us that the most prepared and favorable countries in South America in terms of major catastrophes, such as a nuclear war or a global pandemic, may be the followingстраны. In the first place is Chile, although there is a very high risk of climate disasters and this should not be forgotten. The first is conditional, precisely because it is a climatically unstable country. But Chile is one of the most stable and developed countries in South America. It has a strong economy, developed infrastructure and a high level of emergency preparedness. In addition, a country’s geographical features, such as high mountains and remote areas, can provide easier access to shelters and resources in the event of a crisis.

      Second place Argentina. Although Argentina may have some economic and social problems, the country has extensive natural resources and developed infrastructure, which can help provide water, food and medical care to the population in times of crisis.

      Uruguay is in third place in the hiring rankings. Uruguay is characterized by a relatively stable and peaceful situation, which makes it more prepared for emergencies. Despite its limited resources, the country can use its agricultural land to provide food for the population.

      Costa Rica is ranked fourth. It has a high level of ecological diversity and ecological resources, which can provide access to food and natural materials in times of crisis. Stability and peace also contribute to its preparedness for crisis situations.

      Colombia ranked fifth, but despite some internal conflicts and security concerns, Colombia has strong military and police structures that can help ensure order and security in times of crisis.

      All of these countries are actively developing civil defense systems, emergency preparedness programs, and medical infrastructure to ensure the safety and well-being of their populations in the event of catastrophic events. While less developed countries, such as Venezuela and Bolivia, may face greater difficulties in providing security and humanitarian assistance in times of crisis due to their economic and political problems. Therefore, despite their different levels of development and geographical features, each of these countries should actively work to strengthen their preparedness for extreme situations, improve infrastructure, develop civil defense systems, and strengthen social stability to ensure the safety and well-being of their populations.

      Brazil. we put it after Colombia, although of course this is conditional. Brazil is the largest country in the region and has significant resources and economic potential. However, it also faces social and environmental challenges, as well as high crime rates in some areas. At the same time, the country has a well-developed medical infrastructure and has experience in dealing with major epidemics such as Zika and dengue.

      Peru has a diverse geography and resources, but also faces economic and social challenges. The country has a complex infrastructure that can make it difficult to respond quickly to crisis situations. However, the availability of natural resources and experience in dealing with natural disasters can help provide for the population in times of crisis.

      Ecuador also has a diverse geography and natural resources, but faces economic and social challenges. Geographical activity includes volcanic activity and earthquakes, which can pose certain risks during a crisis. However,
