Both are giant countries, each dominating its half of the Americas, each amply endowed with people, land and natural resources. Each has remained united, with a strong sense of nationhood, after gaining independence from former colonial masters in Europe. But whereas the United States has become the world's economic superpower, its South American sibling is a social and economic under-achiever, the eternal 'country of the future' (as it calls itself ironically) whose future never arrives."
