This is what the survival ranking in Latin America would look like in the event of a world war
In Uruguay’s case, the AI emphasized that over 99% of the country’s electricity comes from renewable sources, mainly wind and hydro power. Photo: Sebastián Astorga An analysis conducted by the artificial intelligence ChatGPT ranked Uruguay as the Latin American country most likely to survive a potential Third World War, highlighting its political stability, energy self-sufficiency, and geographic location.
The study assessed national resilience in the face of a global conflict and placed Uruguay first, followed by Costa Rica and Chile. According to the analysis, countries with greater energy independence, institutional stability, and distance from major global conflict zones would be the most resilient in a worldwide crisis.
In Uruguay’s case, the AI emphasized that over 99% of the country’s electricity comes from renewable sources, mainly wind and hydro power, making it one of the most self-sufficient nations in the region. It also pointed to its low population density, moderate foreign policy, and long-standing democratic stability as factors that would enhance its survival prospects.
“Uruguay combines clean energy, institutional stability, and a privileged geographic position that keeps it distant from major centers of conflict,” the analysis stated.
Costa Rica ranked second due to its historic neutrality and the absence of armed forces since 1948, while Chile came third thanks to its natural protection between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains, as well as its access to strategic resources.
The report concludes that in a world marked by uncertainty and conflict, Uruguay’s unique combination of sustainability, good governance, and geographic security would make it one of the countries best prepared to withstand a large-scale global crisis.

Read all commentsEnergy self-sufficiency alone is not a parameter for developing this survival ranking. I would even go so far as to say that energy wouldn't even be among the three most important things to have at the “end of the world”:
Oct 11th, 2025 - 10:44 am 01. Drinking water
2. Food
3. Tools
4. Weapons and ammunition for self-protection
5. Solid and safe housing
6. Pack animals
7. Vegetation that filters radiation
8. Agriculture
9. Craftsmanship
....
N. Energy
Being an unarmed country is not synonymous with security at the “end of the world.” Being a pacifist is a better criterion.
Institutional stability in a nuclear catastrophe? Forget it.
In my opinion, the best place to be is on the edge of the Amazon rainforest. Stable climate, abundant vegetation, access to water and food, good hiding places for protection, and negligible temperature range.
Reading a little Diogenes of Sinope would be beneficial.
