Patagonia (Mapudungun: Puelmapo) is a country in South America. Located in the southern part of the continent, Patagonia is the largest Anglophone country in both South America and the Latin American region. Patagonia is bordered by Argentina to the north, Chile to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the waters of the Drake Passage to the south. Patagonia is a Commonwealth realm, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. Patagonia has the third-largest economy in Latin America and is a member of the Commonwealth Confederation
