Chile
This other South American country, Chile, is now at No. 35 in our ranking of wealthiest nations. Regarded for its enormous coastline, but not really for its average earnings, which is $14,670.0 at No. 78. At No 43, its GDP of $298.2 billion is indeed significantly lower. However, its No. 34 SPI ranking gives it the shot it requires to achieve its path to the bottom half of our list. The SPI of Chile is boosted by a high rating in water and sanitation, access to medical care, and individual rights, but that is brought down by its 43.69 points in access to the best education.

Argentina
The big South American country of Argentina is No. 34 on our world’s richest countries list. With all its $12,370 average salary ringing in at No. 84 in the globe, it fails to amuse. However, its $518.5 billion GDP is currently ranked No. 24 and helps to give it a bump up. Its No. 42 ranking in the SPI is leveling all out. Access to water and sanitation in Argentina and great proper healthcare give a huge boost to its SPI score. However, its 40.82 points for access to the best education as well as 58.37 points for personal safety are dragging down its total rating.
