Chile was not involved in the war, and although it was possible that Chile could join in with Argentina and Brazil should their be a round two in the coming years, the IEB’s strategic planners concluded that even with Chilean assistance, it was doubtful that the ABC powers could completely defeat the SAE armies stationed in Gran Uruguay before reinforcements arrived from Africa.

The Prince-Regent took this news with stride, and mentioned three powers with the necessary strength to defeat the SAE; the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Empire of Atlantis. Each of these nations had their strengths and weaknesses in the eyes of the IEB, the UK had the largest fleet in the world, yet likely no real interest for a showdown with the RSAN. The US due to its population had the greatest wartime potential, yet seemed to be heading for isolation. And finally, Atlantis was the closest to Brazil, and had a substantial fleet in the Atlantic Ocean, but was the weakest member of the three powers, although it could still take on the SAE on equal terms.

Unlikely to have much effect: from a purely strategic viewpoint, Chile is unlikely to send (many) troops to fight in an eastern SAmerican war versus the SAE. Chile has the smallest population of the three ABC powers and is mostly focused on creating a small but crack militia army to resist invasion: not the sort of force appropriate to challenging the SAE. The Navy, on the other hand, might have made a decent showing, and now that the Air Force is being kept up to date, then they would likely show against the SAE. The Army... not so much.
Quoted
Next, having fought two wars in the last decade, both forced upon them, the Chileans are a bit... well, isolationist themselves, and don't want to get involved in another war. They'll fight to support allies and resist invasion, but they'd rather not.
Quoted
Actually, I'd say that Atlantis is in the middle of the three. Navalwise, they'll be ahead of the US but behind Britain; in terms of non-warship production, behind the US but likely ahead of Britain

True, however I am presuming Britain has more potential than Atlantis for non-naval production.

Canada's population should be higher than historical; One of the rationales I've had for Canada's increased productivity and independance, was capitalizing on the US being less fortunate than IRL, and siphoning off some of the massive immigration waves.

The "lack of industrial output" is a consequence of how the sim was set up in the first place: focused ONLY on capital warship construction, over the period running up to and including WWI (but not counting historical vessels not completed before the WNT), and the US not being a player country at the start. It has nothing to do with the US overall industrial capacity overall, only with the capability of the US to produce ships.

1942 is a good year for the Dutch to fight in
