What this does not mean
Translations are this guide's own. The texts of Ley 19.885 and Ley 20.500 could not be retrieved from the Biblioteca del Congreso, so those two entries rely on official Servicio de Impuestos Internos rulings that describe them; the statutes themselves were not read directly, and Ley 20.500's participation provisions are not described. Article 494 is a minor-offense provision limited to unpopulated places. This is a plain-language summary of public sources, not legal advice, and it does not rank countries.
