Group Information
Membership Size: 21 million
Nationality: Han Chinese, Uyghurs, Manchu Chinese
Resources: Backing from Japan, India, as well as the USSR and other European powers who seek to check Chinese expansionism. Mostly armed with WWII era rifles and hand-me-downs from sympathetic governments. Has ~ 100 tanks and three times that in armored vehicles. Well-funded and well trained
Militia: Yellow Bandanas (Monarchists-Right Wing), Red Bandanas (Socialist-Left Wing), East Turkestan Liberation Organization/ETLO/Blue Turbans (Xanjing separatist organization) , regional armies
(1.8 million total troops)
Other information:The May 12th Movement was initiated as backlash against central government polices during the war and the perceived corruption of the regime in Beijing. Originally planned as a democratic revolution by Warlord era politicians who disliked the totalitarian policies of the KMT as well as communist sympathisers, the Movement grew to become a loose coalition of antigovernment forces who wish to see China go down a different path. The largest group within the Movement are the monarchist reactionaries who wish to see China revert to a dynastic monarchy.
The movement promises greater autonomy for the outlying provinces as well as the enactment populist policies once in power. The movement grew rapidly in size from government defections during the war and gained widespread populist support in the wake of the post-war famines. It has many sympathizers within the military itself and a coup was originally planned to enact the revolution. This plan was scrapped in the wake of the Indo-Chinese war as the Movements leaders sought to take advantage of the public anger generated during the war. With the slogan “Bread before glory!”, the Movement openly rebelled in the city of Tianjin and spread on from there.
Sympathetic to the Mongolian separatist and neutral to PLA and other Maoist insurgencies
Im doing this after looking at the China app-which is way too strong for its time. There needs to be a balance in the region and aggressive expansionism need to have consequences

NS Name: Pimps Inc
Nation Name: United Mexican States
Head of State: Lazaro Cardenas de Rio
Head of Government: See Above
Flag:
Claims: Current Mexico, California Channel Islands, Peten Department of Guatemala(Will have to enter negotiations with Central American player)
Capital City: Mexico Federal District
Government Form: Constitutional Federal Republic
Ideology: Slightly Zapatista, mostly Socialist slight capitalist
Foreign Policy: Lazaro Cardenas has maintained a strong anti-American stance since his first election, resulting in the souring of Mexican-US-UK relations with the nationalization of the oil industry but later benefitted Mexico once the Hitler blitzkrieg end across Europe and the Allied effort began to look for sources to fuel their war machines. During the course of the war, Cardenas began to further strengthen relations with the Soviet Union, following the exile of Trotsky to Mexico, and by the Battle of Berlin, Cardena's government had fully supported Stalin's goals and had even sent a Mexican battalion to fight in Berlin. The rising tensions of the new "Cold War" and Mexico's alignment to the USSR has brought in considerable Soviet aid, with Mexico’s proximity to the United States, Cardena's Mexico has become an important Cold War ally for the Soviets. The relationship is for the most part an economic one, with the Soviet Union providing military, economic and political assistance to Mexico. In 1948, Mexico gained membership into the Council of Mutual Economic Aid (CMEA), which enhanced strong cooperation in the realm of national economic planning. From 1948 to 1950, the Soviets invested $11.7 billion (USD) on the construction and remodeling of Mexican factories and industry and especially oil production. Additionally, between 1948 and 1950 Mexico received approximately $750 billion (USD) a year in Soviet military assistance.
Domestic Policy: Cárdenas's first action after taking office late in 1934 was to have his presidential salary cut in half. He became the first occupant of the official presidential residence of Los Pinos. He had the previous residence, the ostentatious Chapultepec Castle, which became the National Museum of History. In a move that struck at the financial interests of his patron Calles's cronies, Cárdenas closed down their gambling casinos and brothels, where "prominent Callistas had invested their profits from bribery and industrial activities."
Cárdenas did not use armored cars or bodyguards to protect himself. In the presidential campaign of 1934, he travelled through much of the rural areas by auto and horseback, accompanied only by Rafael M Pedrajo, a chauffeur and an aide-de-camp. His fearlessness generated widespread respect for Cárdenas, who had demonstrated his bravery and leadership as a revolutionary general.
A key sector of reform was for industrial labor. Article 123 of the 1917 Constitution had empowered labor in an unprecedented way, guaranteeing worker rights such as the eight-hour day and the right to strike, but in a more comprehensive fashion, Article 123 signaled that the Mexican state was on the side of labor.Cárdenas nationalized the railway system creating the Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México in 1938 and put under a "workers' administration." But his most sweeping nationalization was that of the petroleum industry in 1938. Central to Cárdenas' economic project was the nationalization of Mexico's vast oil production in order to secure both more revenues and national control over natural wealth. An oil boom had taken place following strikes in 1920 in the area known as the "Golden Lane" or "Golden Belt", near Tampico. Oil drilling in such areas resulted in Mexico becoming the world's second-largest oil producer by 1939, and supplying approximately 20 percent of domestic demand in the United States. But the Tampico fields decline markedly after 1923, and much US oil investment went to Venezuela. Mexico was eventually able to restart the oil fields and refineries, but production did not rise to pre-nationalization levels until 1942, after the entry of the United States into World War II. The US, and later the Soviets, sent technical advisers to Mexico to ensure production could support the overall Allied war effort.
In 1938 the British severed diplomatic relations with Cárdenas' government, and boycotted Mexican oil and other goods. An international court ruled that Mexico had the authority for nationalization. With the outbreak of World War II, oil became a highly sought-after commodity.The company that Cárdenas founded, Petróleos Mexicanos (or Pemex), later served as a model for other nations seeking greater control over their own oil and natural gas resources. In the early 21st century, its revenues continued to be the most important source of income for the country, despite weakening finances. Cárdenas founded the National Polytechnic Institute in order to ensure the education and training of people to run the oil industry.At first, the oil nationalization expropriation of 1938 earned Cárdenas great respect among Mexicans and in many other Latin America countries.

Military Description: In 1948, Mexico gained membership into the Council of Mutual Economic Aid (CMEA), which enhanced strong cooperation in the realm of national economic planning. From 1948 to 1950, the Soviets invested $6.7 billion (USD) on the construction and remodeling of Mexican factories and industry. Additionally, between 1948 and 1950 Mexico received approximately $750 billion (USD) a year in Soviet military assistance. Soviet equipment makes up a big part of the Mexican Army, but with occasional local designed and made weaponry.
Overall, the supplies and equipment of communist units were adequate, and their infantry small-arms were a match for its northern counterpart. Mexican soldiers are well equipped with modern arms either from Soviet bloc or Chinese sources. In the early years of the Soviet alignment a larger variety of weapons were used, ranging from World War I-era bolt-action rifles to World War II-era weapons, with procurement via a wide range of methods. Such variation and diversity continued throughout the conflict. By 1950 however, the inventory was increasingly standardized, turning Mexico's military into one of the best in the Americas.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Good overall against insurgencies following experience in the Mexican Revolution, and able to fend off most American armies except for the United States.
Law Enforcement: Mexico maintains two primary Federal Police agencies; the Policia Federal, the uniformed force, and an Investigative force called the Policía Federal Ministerial.
On account of its heavily armed agents, its culture, and its origins, the Federal Police as a whole may be considered a gendarmerie. However two of the seven "divisions" (i.e. branches of service) of the Federal Police have particularly military characteristics.
The Federal Ministerial Police (in Spanish: Policía Federal Ministerial, PFM) is a Mexican federal agency tasked with fighting corruption and organized crime, through an executive order by President Cardenas. The agency is directed by the Attorney General's Office (PGR) and may have been partly modeled on the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States and Soviet KGB. PFM agents in action often wear masks to prevent themselves from being identified. PFM agents are uniformed when carrying out raids.
The Secretariat of Public Security of the Federal District (Spanish: Secretaría de Seguridad Pública del Distrito Federal; SSP) is the law enforcement agency of Mexico City, headquartered in Venustiano Carranza. It manages a combined force of over 100,000 officers in the Federal District (DF).The Federal District Police (Policial Distrito Federal) is the police department of the Federal District of Mexico. The Federal District (the DF or Distrito Federal) contains the heart of Mexico City and the seat of federal Mexican government. There are 8.84 million residents of the DF, according to 1945 estimates, and another 21.1 million people in the metropolitan region.
Each of the country's thirty-one states maintain both preventive and judicial police called the State Judicial Police. State police are under the direction of the state's governor. The distinction between crimes investigated by State and Federal Judicial Police is not always clear. Most offenses come under the state authorities. Drug dealing, crimes against the government, and offenses involving several jurisdictions are the responsibility of the federal police. The state-level preventive police forces are together perhaps 90,000-strong, and the state-level judicial police perhaps 25,000-strong.
Intelligence agencies(Domestic and Foreign):
The Centro de Investigación y Seguridad Nacional (English: Center for Research and National Security (CISEN) is a Mexican intelligence agency controlled by the Secretary of Interior (Secretario de Gobernación). CISEN was established in 1945 after its predecessors ceased to operate. Although the National Security Act considers the Center as the main security agency, the Navy, Army, Air Force and the Office of the Attorney General maintain intelligence bodies dedicated to assists the functions of each one.
Formally, CISEN has the function of articulating the national intelligence, and mistakenly has been compared to the current CIA or the Soviet-era KGB (today's FSB (domestic) and SVR (external)). Its functions include espionage, counter-espionage, analysis of intelligence, proposing to the National Security Council the National Agenda for Risks, among others.
Description of Your Nation's Economy: Key areas of the economy, such as energy, and agriculture are state run, with small parts of it still capitalist.
Description of Your Nation's Government: Cardenas's government has proved Western critics of the communist ideology, which see the word communist as a synonym to dictatorship and oppression. His first executive order, actually, as president was to have his and the Congress's salary halved and ordered the PGR(Attorney General of the Republic) to investigate congress for corruption, as well as the military. While free speech and press is commonplace, actual taking up arms against the government is immediately punished with death, as is any sort of corruption in the ruling party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party(PRI).
History of your Nation:
1919: The Mexican Revolution that has ravaged Mexico for nine years officially comes an end as the insurgent forces of Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa take the capital and sweep away the last remnants of the Porfiriato under a blood-red carpet. However, true peace will not reach Mexico for another decade, as later in the year Zapata is killed by some Porfirians still carrying out his orders from his place of exile in France, causing a massive gap in leadership, which was filled only shortly by Villa. The new constitution to replace the flawed Constitution of 1857 and held free elections for the first time in decades. While it is impossible to really prove wether or not Villa was elected president, it is a fact that Villa refused to take part in politics, and instead his most respected general Alvaro Obregon was elected as the 39th President of Mexico. However, as a true politician, President's Obregon would make sure to remain in power no matter what and to gain more of that power. The Obregon administration really started with a bang as Villa was gunned down in his car two weeks into the new presidency. His friends and family remember him saying a week prior he would consider joining Mexican politics........
1920-1925: The Roaring Twenties begin Mexico with fireworks and gunshots as the Obregon administration still fights the last fractured and conflicting factions of the Revolution. One of the major issues that faced Alvaro Obregón’s early post-revolution government was stabilizing Mexico. The populace was demanding reforms, promised by the 1919 constitution. Many issues faced the working poor, such as debt peonage and company stores that kept the populace poor. The military had generals who wanted to overthrow the regime and take power for themselves. There were also foreign governments, primarily the United States, who feared Mexico would take a communist turn such as Russia had in 1918. Obregón was in a difficult position; he had to appeal to both the left and the right to ensure Mexico would not fall back into civil war.With regard to the masses, Obregón, who was conservative but still a reformer, started listening to demands to appease the populace. Obregón’s first focus, in 1920, was land reform. He had governors in various states push forward the reforms promised in the 1917 constitution. These were, however, quite limited. Former Zapatistas still had strong influence in the post-revolutionary government, so most of the reforms began in Morelos, the birthplace of the Zapatista movement. Despite pressures from the U.S., Obregón flirted with the newly formed USSR. To appeal to intellectuals and left-leaning peasants, official Mexican propaganda began having a very Marxist spin. Murals with Lenin and Trotsky began to appear in government buildings. Despite the sympathy towards socialism, the government began to ferment nationalism amongst the peasantry. This was accomplished by memorializing revolutionary figures and creating anti-western murals. Among the artists employed was Diego Rivera, who had a Mexican nationalist and Marxist tinge to his government murals. Despite these moves towards an anti-western and pro-socialist regime, Obregón did not separate the Mexican economy from foreign capitalists, allowing free trade with some restrictions. As for the military, Obregon saw that veteran irregulars of the Revolution be incorporated. He attempted to remove power from the former-revolutionaries and their heroes Villa and Zapata, who had much influence in every level of class, with most influence near the bottom of that pyramid and less near the top. This unpopular move saw a small coup led by the senior generals to overthrow Obregon, and after a small battle in the Federal District which ended in a status quo. Seeing a direct attack on some of the most powerful men in Mexico would prove in his regime's demise, he instead concentrated on a less direct front, which would later have historians debate on who created the first Great Purge, the Stalin regime or the Obregon presidency........
1926-1932: Shortly after the start of the purge, Obregón’s term ended and Sonoran revolutionary Plutarco Elias Calles took power. In an attempt to buffer his regime against further coups, Calles began arming peasants and factory workers with surplus weapons. He continued other reforms pushed by his predecessor, such as land reform and anti-clerical laws to prevent the Catholic Church from influencing the state. One such move, in regard to land reform, was to nationalize most farmland and give it to the peasants across Mexico, in a way appealing to the beliefs of Zapata. He also put into effect a national school system that was largely secular to combat church influence in late 1927. After two years the church protested the movement by refusing to give the blessed sacrament to the populace. Some peasants also joined in the protests, adding greater land reforms to the list of demands by the rebelling priests. The rebellion was openly supported by the Catholic Church and received funding, beginning the Cristero War, a period of terrorization of Catholics concluding in the Masacre de Viernes Santo(Good Friday Massacre), where somewhere between 50-230 Catholic men, women and children were killed at the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral. Bringing serious international condemnation and media coverage, the Church and State were forced to broker a settlement using Great Britain as a medium, resulting in Recognition of certain rights and the reopening of the Catholic Church in Mexico by 1933 during the first term of Cardenas. Before the end of Calles's term, he and his base of supporters seek to unite the factions of the revolution and prevent civil strife by creating the Party of the Mexican Revolution(Now the PRI), which would dominate Mexican politics to the present day.......
(Cardenas Takes the Silla del Aguila)1932-1950:
After a series of interim presidents controlled by the party, Lazaro Cardenas took power in 1932. Cárdenas was a socialist and began to base government policy on class struggle and empowering the masses. However, not all of his reforms were completely socialist, making him somewhat more centrist than purely socialist. Regardless, his rule was the most radical phase of the post revolution, social revolution, true revolution.
After the border clashes with Guatemala during the Cristero War, which resulted in Guatemala losing the Peten administrative division, (their largest yet least populated and therefore less investment), his first acts of reform in 1933 were aimed towards peasants. Former strongmen within the land owning community were losing political power, so he began to side with the peasants more and more. He also tried to further centralize the government’s power by removing regional caciques, allowing him to push reforms easier. To fill the political vacuum, Cárdenas helped the formation of Party sponsored peasant leagues, empowering both peasants and the government. Other reforms included nationalization of key industries such as petroleum, land, and the railroads. To appease workers, Cárdenas furthered provisions to end debt peonage and company stores, which were largely eliminated under his rule, except in the most backwater areas of Mexico. But his most sweeping nationalization was that of the petroleum industry in 1938. Central to Cárdenas' economic project was the nationalization of Mexico's vast oil production in order to secure both more revenues and national control over natural wealth. An oil boom had taken place following strikes in 1920 in the area known as the "Golden Lane" or "Golden Belt", near Tampico. Oil drilling in such areas resulted in Mexico becoming the world's second-largest oil producer by 1939, and supplying approximately 20 percent of domestic demand in the United States. But the Tampico fields decline markedly after 1923, and much US oil investment went to Venezuela. Mexico was eventually able to restart the oil fields and refineries, but production did not rise to pre-nationalization levels until 1942, after the entry of the United States into World War II. The US, and later the Soviets, sent technical advisers to Mexico to ensure production could support the overall Allied war effort.
In 1938 the British severed diplomatic relations with Cárdenas' government, and boycotted Mexican oil and other goods. An international court ruled that Mexico had the authority for nationalization. With the outbreak of World War II, oil became a highly sought-after commodity.The company that Cárdenas founded, Petróleos Mexicanos (or Pemex), later served as a model for other nations seeking greater control over their own oil and natural gas resources. In the early 21st century, its revenues continued to be the most important source of income for the country, despite weakening finances. Cárdenas founded the National Polytechnic Institute in order to ensure the education and training of people to run the oil industry. At first, the oil nationalization expropriation of 1938 earned Cárdenas great respect among Mexicans and in many other Latin America countries. To prevent conservative factions in the military from plotting and to put idle soldiers to work, Cárdenas mobilized the military to build public works projects. That same year another Cristero revolt occurred. This was partially caused by Cárdena’s mandate for secular education early in his presidency in 1934. The revolt was quickly put down due to lack of official support from the Catholic Church, who told rebels to surrender themselves to the government. The state dropped all charges against them except for the orchestrators, who the government had sent to labor camps. The next year, 1935, to further stabilize his rule, Cárdenas further armed the peasants and workers and begins to organize them into formal militias. This proved to be useful later in his presidency as the militias came to his aid in the final military coup in revolutionary Mexico in 1938. By the time the attack on Pearl Harbor brought in the U.S., and with it the rest of the world into the Second World War, Mexico had already been supporting the Red Army's defense of Moscow with oil, food, medical aid, and munitions. However, escalation of the war due primarily to US involvement brought in American and Soviet aid to boost Mexico's oil producing capabilities to fuel the Red Army's T34's cutting the Nazi serpent's head off and grease up Allied P-51 Mustangs cutting down the belly of the Fascist beast. This growth was sustained by the government's increasing commitment to primary education for the general population from the late 1920s through the 1940s. The enrollment rates of the country's youth increased threefold during this period;consequently when this generation was employed by the 1940s their economic output was more productive.
Additionally, the government fostered the development of consumer goods industries directed toward domestic market by imposing high protective tariffs and other barriers to imports. The share of imports subject to licensing requirements rose from 28 percent in 1940 to 38 percent in 1950. Industry accounted for 22 percent of total output in 1950. The share of total output arising from agriculture and other primary activities declined during the same period, while services stayed constant. The government promoted industrial expansion through public investment in agricultural, energy, and transportation infrastructure. Cities grew rapidly during these years, reflecting the shift of employment from agriculture to industry and services. The urban population increased at a high rate after 1940. Growth of the urban labor force exceeded even the growth rate of industrial employment, with surplus workers taking low-paying service jobs. In the years following World War 2 , President Cardenas's full-scale import-substitution program stimulated output by boosting internal demand. The government raised import controls on consumer goods but relaxed them on capital goods, which it purchased with international reserves accumulated during the war. The government spent it heavily on infrastructure. By 1950 Mexico's road network had expanded to 41,000 kilometers, of which some 25,600 were paved. Mexico's strong economic performance is expected to continue into the 1960s, when GDP growth will average about 7 percent overall and about 3 percent per capita. Consumer price inflation has averaged only 3 percent annually. Manufacturing has remained the country's dominant growth sector, expanding 7 percent annually and attracting considerable foreign investment. Mining has grown at an annual rate of nearly 4 percent, trade at 6 percent, and agriculture at 3 percent. By 1960, Mexico will have diversified its export base and become largely self-sufficient in food crops, steel, and most consumer goods. Although its imports remained high, most were capital goods used to expand domestic production, though these later are expected to be locally made and designed later on.
Following the end of the war, the Cold War begun, with the Soviets taking huge chunks of East Europe, while the West attempted to blocks Communism from spreading. As revolutions began across the world supported by Soviet aid, Latin America saw itself involved with Che Guevara's campaigns throughout Ibero America. Mexico has turned fully Soviet aligned, and supported Red Revolutions in Central and South America, though not officially as it seeks to keep the U.S. in a small sense of false security to keep them from prodding into Mexican affairs.

Government Form: Federal One Party Representative Republic
Ideology: Mix of Christian-Communism and Stalinism. (Basically Stalinism without the anti-religious/ secularist mindset.)
Foreign Policy: The U.S.R.C.A generally views the outside world with contempt and paranoia, generally refusing to most interactions with outside countries that differ in ideology. However, they attempt to retain close economical and diplomatic ties with fellow Communist nations, and will trade and interact with nations that are "on the fence" and just require a solid push to get onto the side of the Commies. They make a few exceptions, however. Mainly in the form of warm-ish feelings towards officially Christian/Catholic nations, namely the papacy.
Domestic Policy: The citizens of the U.S.R.C.A are generally kept in line with a mix of terror programs meant to install a respect and healthy fear in the state and religious propaganda lined up with the views of Christian-Communism, such as how the Bible advocated Communism, and Jesus's teachings in their purest form are those of the Communists. Most illegal activities (Whether official or unofficial.), ranging from acts of terrorism to petty theft are met with either the death penalty or life in the labor camps. Minor offences, such as insulting Comrade Leader or being late on your Heathen Tax result in what equates to a slap on the wrist, i.e being banished from whichever Republic you were then residing in, or having your tongue ripped out with hot pincers. A repeat of these offenses usually results in a few decades of imprisonment or labor, and a third repeat is met with death. Surveillance by officials is common, and any perceived threat will be watched 24/7 by the authorities. When a citizen rats out a fellow civilian for illegal activities, the snitch is rewarded greatly, generally with high positions and cash-moneys.

Military Size: 1,149,540
Military Description: The Blue Army is armed well enough, generally equipped with your standard run of the mill AK-47 or Kalashnikov AKS, and their standard uniform. All weapons and ammunition are imported from Russia. Other weapons used included:
Simonov SKS (Used by some conscript forces.)
RPG-2
RP-46 (For when things get really shooty.)
M1943 160mm (For when you gotsa make stuff go BOOM.)
M1943 120mm (120-PM 43)
Goryunov SG-43 HMG (For when things get REALLY REALLY shooty.)
Military focus in generally put into the training of their infantry forces and further development of their navy, the army is conscription based, and each able bodied citizen must serve a minimum of 3 years in the military. Military doctrine is focused striking quickly and winning decisive victories in hit and run attacks when battling a superior force or a minor campaign, striking deep into enemy territory whether or not the war is defensive. When battling a force of greater or equal size, the military generally pulls back into more thickly forested land, fighting drawn out and brutal conflict deep in the jungle, putting emphasis on ambushes and other such tricksy tactics. Heavy armour is used rarely by Central American forces due to generally impassable terrain and the fact that their own models are pitifully out of date. Similarly, aircraft are used rarely due to a general lack of viable airfields outside of the major cities, and though the state of the air force is slightly better than that of their armoured forces it could never hope to combat that of most other major powers.
Strengths and Weaknesses: The military of Central America excels at combat in tough to reach areas and generally inhospitable terrain, where their extensive training, experience and leadership really comes through. However, open, even battles are difficult due to limited firepower and a general lack of heavy weapons, such as mobile artillery, main battle tanks and many other such modern weapons of war. Though such equipment does exist, it is rare in the Blue Army, and generally is limited to the few roads that meander their way across the nation. Another general weakness is a lack of aircraft.
Law Enforcement: The strict, all seeing Enforcers are the Central American's take on a police officer. They are a massive beast indeed, and due to policies regarding the powers placed in the common citizens hands regarding the detainment of law breakers some claim that everyone in the nation not committing a crime is basically Enforcing. However, generally the official Enforcers patrol the streets of most cities constantly, and their cameras are spread across the nation. Any crime, no matter how small, is met with extreme force, and the Enforcers have almost limitless power over the average civilian. However, oddly enough, the force is surprisingly uncorrupt, likely due to the rigorous personality and loyalty tests applicants go through, and the extreme amount of discipline instilled in their poor, weak minds by the State. In fact, Enforcers are generally more adapt at combat, discipline and tactics than your average low tier soldier in most nations, and they are feared throughout the nation, rolling about in their heavily armored Viper I.F.Vs. The other branch of law enforcement is much more shady, known as the Inquisition, they deal directly in crimes of thought and religion, as opposed to the more legal and physical offences dealt with by the Enforcers. Inquisitors are small in number, and deal with crimes regarding slandering of the state and refusal to comply with laws regarding Heathens activities.

Description of Your Nation's Economy: Strong and state run, the economy of Central America is based largely on the production and export of crude oil, coffee and sugar to other socialist nations. However, the country prides itself in it's general self sufficiency, and dislikes trade in general. Though a largely agricultural based economy, heavy and light industry still thrives in the major cities.
Description of Your Nation's Government: An odd mix between holy state, republic and autocracy, the government is an odd hybrid of different forms of governance. Elections for the Council members occurs every 25 years, and is what you could expect from an election. Anyone who is a member of the Party can be elected into the Council, where they will serve their term co-governing with the 199 other Council members. However, the Council holds little power, only voting on a handful of minor issues and advising Comrade Leader. However, to become a member of Comrade Leader's cabinet, one must have first been a Councilor, and thus the members of the Council have, at least, the possibility of a higher, influential possession. On the other hand, there exists the Men of Christ. Selected by Comrade Leader from the clergy of the nation, the Men of Christ number 50, and they hold power over all religious matters, including those of the Inquisition. Then there is Comrade Leader. Comrade Leader holds absolute and limitless power over his people, and is selected by the leaders of the Party, who in turn are chosen by former leaders of the Party. They generally number around 120. The Party leaders select from their ranks the top 5 potential candidates for the title of Comrade Leader, and then allow the People to vote for the next Comrade Leader. Once in office, Comrade Leader has limitless power and a never ending term.

1929: A Soviet backed Communist revolution in Guatemala seizes the capital after months of fighting. The surrender of the Guatemalan government results in revolutionary leader Manuel José Arce declaring himself leader of the People's Republic of Guatemala, immediately declaring war on his neighbor, Honduras. After six long months of conflict, the remaining Honduran soldiers drop their weapons and surrender.
1930: El Salvador's people peacefully elect a leader from the Communist Party. Immediately afterwards, their Presidente negotiates a deal with Manuel regarding a peaceful joining of the two nations, so long as El Salvador retained some semblance of autonomy. Thus the United Socialist Republics of Central America is formed, and Honduras is given autonomy under it's new Administrator hand picked by Comrade Leader. Rebellions begin popping up around the new nation, and for the next few years the government will be devoted to beating their people into line.
1936: After the brutal secessionist and capitalist rebellions are finally crushed after 6 long years of war, the United Socialist Republics waits a few months before beginning their invasion of Nicaragua. However, the nation is better armed and organized than anticipated, and with Capitalist aide the opposing state begins to push into Honduras. After the Capitalists take the capital of the administrative zone, executing Comrade Administrator, the Socialist army is able to hold them at the borders with El Salvador and Guatemala.
1939: After years of stagnation, with neither nation making any progress in the conflict, the tide begins to turn in the favor of the Socialist. Capitalist worries about the expanding Third Reich cause most of the nations aiding the conflict against Communist forces to turn their attention towards stopping the Fascist movements, meaning less support for fighting the war hungry and generally minor Latin American state. As a result, the Nicaraguans were swept back, and without capitalist support their nation fell within a few months. Their leader's hands and feet were cut off before he was throne off of the balcony of his palace. An Administrator rose to take his place, and the handful of rebellions that sprouted up afterwards were swiftly crushed by the newly founded Enforcers.
1940: Costa Rica peacefully elects a member of the Communist Party into power, who then joins the Unified Socialists in exchange for high levels of autonomy.
1941: The United Socialist Republics are crippled by a massive and brutal Catholic rebellion, catching the Socialist military (Stationed on the Northern Border for fear of a Mexican invasion.) by surprise.. The Catholics, after securing almost half of the nation from their capital in San Jose, negotiate with the government on their terms of surrender. At the threat of being deposed, Comrade Leader agrees to give the church much more power, declare Catholicism as the state religion and institute a tax on those people of foreign religions. The name of the nation is officially changed to the United Socialist Republics of Holy Central America, and laws are passed requiring citizens to be catholic to retain certain rights and receive many state benefits. Though Manuel is unhappy with the rise of the church to power, and the tainting of his ideologically pure nation, he is largely just glade to have gotten through the ordeal with his head still on his shoulders.
1948: The Great Famine (Caused by a rare and severe drought.) claims millions of lives throughout the Republics, and the riots and revolutions that follow are difficult to put down. However, the state survives the ordeal, and emerges with a bombardment of new policies regarding food production and water conservation to make sure such an event never happens again.
1949: The long, brutal campaign against Panama ends with victory when the Socialist forces capture Panama City itself at the end of the year. Around this time the modification and censorship of history enters wide practice, and the Department of Truth is founded.

Then there are those who have no allegiance such as India, Egypt, Pakistan and Indonesia and sees it as an opportunity to establish alliance with non-bloc nations.
Domestic Policy: Still stabilizing from recent independence war with Netherlands, so stabilizing the political condition and military are the first on the list since there are still few rebels organizations from the smaller ones like APRA to the bigger and more dangerous one like Darul Islam, an organization that wanting to make Indonesia an Islamic nation.

I'm thinking that realistically, the Republic could probably manage only one or two colonies, as they wold probably need a lot of effort on the peninsula. And Morocco was very important to the falangist cause, without it they would've lost.
I'm thinking you guys could have Angola(revolutionaries join your cause there), and maybe Equatorial Africa?
