Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean is a special territory of what South American country?

Though it's over 2,000 miles away from mainland South America, Easter Island is technically a special territory of Chile. The relatively small island has a population of just under 8,000 inhabitants, but is world famous for its hundreds of moai giant head statues, which appear all over the island. The moai were created by the early Rapa Nui people, who likely built them about 800 years ago.
