Central America is the central geographic region of the Americas. It is variably defined either as being a region of the Americas in its own right or as the southern portion of North America. Physiographically, Central America is a tropical isthmus that connects North and South America. It includes 7 countries and many small offshore islands. Overall, the land is fertile and rugged, and dominated through its heart by a string of volcanic mountain ranges with a few active volcanos.
Santiago is a commune of Chile and is located at the center of the province of Santiago, in the Santiago Metropolitan region. It encompasses the oldest part of the city, including downtown, and houses all major government infrastructure, including the government palace La Moneda. It has an area of 22.4 square kilometers with a population of 200,792 in 2002.
