I think South America is the Queen...
Oh? How so?
I've often wondered what role SA plays exactly on such a Grand Chessboard. It always seems to appear excluded from everything. Not involved much in WWs, barely even in the discussion for all kinds of things. Most countries are poor/irrelevant, Brazil a perpetual mess, etc. From my experiences with Brazilians they are for the most part intellectually isolated, anywhere outside Brazil may as well be on Mars, the rest of the world is just not part of their reality.
In what ways do you see it as a 'Queen'? That's a major piece if you play chess
