¹The Congress is located in
Valparaíso, having been moved from Santiago de Chile
during the last years of the dictatorship of Augusto
Pinochet (s.a.). Although it was moved by an act of
1987, it was not until the first democratic government
of Patricio Aylwin in 1990 that i began to function as
the seat of the Congress.
Territorial Disputes: Chile and Peru
rebuff Bolivia's reactivated claim to restore the
Atacama corridor, ceded to Chile in 1884, but Chile has
offered instead unrestricted but not sovereign maritime
access through Chile to Bolivian natural gas; Chile
rejects Peru's unilateral legislation to change its
latitudinal maritime boundary with Chile to an
equidistance line with a southwestern axis favoring
Peru; in Oct 2007, Peru took its maritime complaint with
Chile to the ICJ; territorial claim in Antarctica
(Chilean Antarctic Territory) partially overlaps
Argentine and British claims; the joint boundary
commission, established by Chile and Argentina in 2001,
has yet to map and demarcate the delimited boundary in
the inhospitable Andean Southern Ice Field (Campo de
Hielo Sur).

Note: Easter Island had no
traditional name in the island language; although this
seems natural, given its isolation, it runs counter to
the Polynesian practice of transporting island names in
their migrations. Authors have tried to claim that Te
Pito 'o Te Henua, meaning the Navel of
the World in the island language, was the name brought
with the founding migration, but this has been
successfully disputed. The name Rapanui
(Great Rapa, as opposed to Rapaiti, the Rapa in French
Polynesia) was attributed in the 19th century and has
acquired official status. The island had a highly
tabooed paramount chief or king, the 'ariki
henua. The office was hereditary in the
Miru clan, and it appears that, in a similar fashion to
Tahitian custom, the first-born son of the 'ariki
henua succeeded to the position at birth
because the mana passed to him at that moment, his
father remaining in power as his regent until his
marriage. In 1862, when the population of the island had
already been severely depleted, Peruvian guano
collectors raided the island, killed a large part of the
population, and kidnapped almost all the rest, including
the two 'ariki henua (i.e.,
the nominal 'ariki henua
Maurata and his father and predecessor Kai Mako'i iti).
Of the kidnapped population, fewer than 200 survived to
be returned. Under these circumstances practically all
knowledge of the past was lost or thoroughly garbled. It
is therefore impossible to recover precise information.
There are about six or seven lists of 'ariki henua
that were provided to visitors and researchers, with
between 20 and 57 names. Here is a list that is perhaps
among the less unreliable ones (however, a recent
article has revived interest in the 57-name list because
carbon-dating has retrojected the human settlement of
the island to no later than the 5th century).
c.300/1200
AD
Polynesian migrants establish a state on modern day
Easter Island.
The earliest inhabitants call the island "Te Pito o
TeHenua"
(the Navel/End of the World), which by the 19th century
is
referred
to as "Rapanui."

¹The inclusion of Patagonia was purely
fictitious, and the claim to what arguably was already
Argentinian territory was never pursued; it was
supposedly based on theoretical considerations of ethnic
affinity and claims of support never documented.
²On 6 Nov 1903, the Council of Regency
met and chose Georges Sénéchal de la Grange to be the
new "king," but he declined. From that date on,
everything that has been written about the succession is
essentially a fabrication by Philippe Paul Alexandre
Henri Boiry (b. 1927 - d. 2014), who claimed to be
Philippe I, he died without an heir on 5 Jan 2014. His
account runs as follows: the sole heir, and hence
successor, of Antoine II was his daughter, Laure Thérèse
Cros, veuve Bernard (b. 1856 - d. 1916), who "was" Queen
Laure-Thérèse I from 6 Nov 1903 to her death 12 Mar
1916. There is no documentation of her acting as queen.
Upon his mother's death, Jacques Alexandre Antoine
Bernard (b. 1880 - d. 1952) became King Jacques-Antoine
III. On 12 May 1951, Philippe I claimed, Jacques-Antoine
III freely ceded the kingship to him, Philippe I, in the
same terms as Orllie-Antoine I's nephew had ceded his
claim to the future Achille I before his uncle's death.
The documentation of this cession is a card that does
not name to whom it is addressed. On 9 Jan 2014,
the Regency Council of the Kingdom elected Jean-Michel
Parasiliti di Para (b. 1942 - d. 2017), as the successor
to Philippe I, he took the name
Antoine IV, but died on 16 Dec 2017. On 24 Mar 2018, the
Regency Council of the Kingdom elected, as
the successor to Antoine
IV, essayist Frédéric Nicolas
Jacques Rodriguez-Luz (b. 1964) as Frédéric
I. On 12 Apr 2023, the Council of Regency
dismissed King Frédéric I and designated historian
Philippe Delorme (b. 1960) as King Philippe II, King
Frédéric I rejected this decision and on 23 Apr 2023
Delorme renounced the throne.
