"Thin strip of land"
(gregtech.eu)
Full country for those interested
It is, undoubtedly, a thin strip of land.

Looking at a map, Chile is a thin strip of land compared to all other South American countries, which is what makes sense to do because it makes it easily identifiable to everyone when they also look at a map.
Exactly! Just like on the map of Scandinavia, you could call Sweden and Norway the shaft and Demark the ejaculate.
If Scandinavia looks like a cock to you, then yes. But you might want to see a doctor it your cock looks like the outline of Norway and Sweden...
Sweden is clearly the cock and Finland the balls. Norway is only for Klingons.
Finland is not part of the traditional definition of Scandinavia
Fennoscandia then
I saw a doctor in Amsterdam about it and he slid me €20 and kept saying, "I'm a real doctor". They really do things differently in Europe!
Sweden and Finland. Sweden is the shaft, Finland are the balls
Brazil is a samosa balancing itself on its tip
Brazil is delicious
Looks like a fried chicken thigh. Though a lot of things could look like fried chicken pieces.
Brazil is south America shaped, which is Africa shaped. The other way is Rio Grande do Sul that is Brazil shaped and a Brazilian state
And the BBC is headquartered on a damp rock.
As a Brit… … yeah actually
You mean the media outlet from the insignificant island in the North Sea?
John Oliver on The Bugle podcast had the best description of its shape. “Chile. The country most likely to crack if baked into a biscuit.”
Maybe narrow would be better wording, given that it's about proportions rather than absolute size
I think both narrow and thin are relative, rather than absolute terms. It’s a country, not a pipe.
I'm not sure this is malintended
High aspect ratio just doesn't roll off the tongue does it?
It is a relatively thin strip of land. I drove down the Carretera Austral a few years ago, you even have to drive through Argentina, because there are the sea and mountains and not enough space to "fit" a highway (alternatively you could take the ferry).
