Full Nation Name: Federal Republic of Central American States (República Federal de Centroamérica)

Short Nation Name: Central American States

National Symbols: Flag of the República Federal de Centroamérica

Capital: San Salvador Federal District

Territory: Territory of the Federal Republic of Central America

Form of Government: Federal Congressional Republic

Head of State/Government: President Ernesto Bolivar

Ideology: Central American Civic Nationalism

Population: 10,160,000

• Guatemala 2.1 Million
  
• El Salvador - 1.9 Million
  
• Nicaragua - 1.7 Million
  
• Honduras - 1.5 Million

Military Description: The Military of the Federal Republic of Central American States currently stands at 115,000 enlisted personnel and 60,000 reserve personnel. Its equipment is a mixture of domestically manufactured copies of German firearms and vehicles produced under licence as well as German equipment purchased outright from the German Empire. Attempts are being made to become develop home-grown designs, but the small manufacturing sector of the nation has stunted those efforts.

Its navy largely consists of a handful of light cruisers, coastal defence gunboats and torpedo boats. Its forces are split between two coastlines which requires traversing the Panama canal should either fleet need reinforcements, which comes at the discretion of occupying US forces.

Tech Tree: Militarily German, domestically Spanish.

Economic Description: The economy of the Federal Union of Central American States is largely agrarian, exporting several million tonnes of crops internationally, including rice, banana, sugar cane and coffee beans. The manufacturing industry is largely concentrated around the state of El Salvador, with 34% of its GDP coming from industries such as textiles, precious metals and petroleum. The remaining states see only 15-20% of its GDP coming from industries outside of agriculture. In the early years of the Federation the current member states pledged large portions of their treasuries towards improving the infrastructure of their nation, primarily its railroads which were necessary to cut through the mountainous terrain of the region in order bring shipments of produce to the nations ports for global export. The idea of a canal built to link both coastlines of Nicaragua is starting to gain traction, and several congressional meetings have been held to entertain the idea.

Goals: Secure its continued independence from its neighbouring powers of Mexico and Gran Colombia, to forge alliances with Europe to strengthen its position. Build its own alternative to the Panama canal.

Point of Divergence: July 1823

History: Almost three years after the Mexican War of Independence that overthrew the government of New Spain, the First Mexican Empire collapsed in on itself largely due to internal strife and multiple armed revolts against the monarchy which would eventually force the short lived monarchy to unwillingly abdicate the throne, handing over power to a provisional government that would eventually reorganise itself into the First Mexican Republic. During this tumultuous period of political upheaval, the southernmost Mexican States took this opportunity to declare their independence from the now defunct empire, having spent years feeling disconnected from the politics of its northern neighbours.

However, many in knew that Mexico would not stay dead for long, and fearing retaliation from the First Mexican Republic the newly independent states chose to form a defensive treaties of their own to rival its neighbour, which would eventually coalesce into the founding of the Federal Republic of Central American States.

Despite its newfound unity, there was no hiding many of these newly founded states possessed deep political divisions between conservative and liberal factions in government. Fearing that this would lead to a future civil war, the treaties that would go on to form the Federations constitution would considerably limit the power the Congress and the Senate possessed. The signatory states would only acknowledge the federal governments supreme authority over matters of military defence and international relations, although many branches of governments would be formed that the states would willingly heed the authority of.

The newest member of the Federal Republic of Central America is the nation of Belize, a former Spanish territory turned British crown colony which was granted independence from Great Britain shortly after the Great War. Sparsely populated and largely English speaking, Belize petitioned for membership within a short few months of its independence largely for its own protection. This led to English being recognised as a regional language and the addition of a large African minority to the nations populace.

I hope the Germany Player is OK with our nation being a keen importer of its wares.

Sorry for the long delay - overall the app looks great. One small mention - the Tech Tree section should simply contain "Spanish", as that's going to be your tech tree, that specific field in the app is meant to represent domestic tech only.

And the mentions of German licenses go in the military section, where they are - so with that little fix, accepted!

Edited, am I good to go?

Roger that.

Alright, with that, sorry about this, the pandemic situation here has been...well...slightly spinning out of control. Can we have another roll call as to who is still here?

I am still here. I am also currently collaborating with Intermountain States with a meeting between Americans and Colombians. It will be out soon once it has been completed.

Still here

When will France set up monument and cemetary for dead Colombian soldiers?

Still here, but I'm sort of dead in the water since the UK seems to have disappeared. Currently pondering on what to do with Canada.

Just curious, but is it possible to switch countries or no?

We'll probably send Traansval a message to check for certain whether he's gone or not

But it is indeed possible to switch countries

So what is it you would like to switch to?

If Transvaal really has left the RP then I'd like to switch to the British Empire.

Alright gents.

Not gonna lie, I had hoped some more people would report back in. Even waited another week because I knew that for some people it was exam time. But oh well. With essentially half of Europe gone and the Asian theatre returned to dust I am quite confident in saying that this is over.

It was a decent bit of fun while it lasted but got off to way too much of a rocky start due to circumstances that were sadly outside of my power. And my lack of involvement in the administration of the RP sadly badly hampered my willingness or ability to get more into it later which just kina sucks.

Ah well, hope you all have a merry Christmas with your families and a happy New Year!

I hope this RP gets a reboot soon.

We need to definitely reboot this RP. I would want to play a much bigger Gran Colombia that controls Bolivia and parts of Brazil.
