Your nation's full name:
Your nations size:
-Total land area: ~ 234,000km2
-Territorial waters: ~ 1,712,159km2
(Optional but will help me) Overview of your nation: An island chain that takes up most of the Carribean; semi-arid Mediterranean weather due to climate change. Spanish colony from 1519 to 1900. Culturally influenced by Spain and native roots -neko (yes, like physically similar to anime cat girls even if we consider the comparison to be odious), unknown where they were from, if they were aliens, from Mu or Atlantis- and a population also racially mixed from Spain and these people. Tendentious to a hierarchical set of social rules and statuses due to the legacy of "late-medieval Catholic" corporatism, but also the vaguely Japonic neko, which also leads to a rather un-Western view of nature and ancestors.
All in all, a cultural oddball in Latin America whose idiosyncrasies have also put it at odds with the USA, but who is also able to adapt diplomatically and realistically...if only as a means to an end, which is our sovereignty.
Your nation's full population: +36,000,000 people
Your nation's type of government: Constitutional Monarchy
Your nations economic system: Mixed Economic System/Corporatism(?)
How stable is your nation on a scale of 1-10: 10
How economically-independent is your nation on a scale of 1-10: 6 to 7
How powerful is your nations army on a scale of 1-10: 5, probably boosted to 6 or 7 if NNs are involved. *see your WMD question.
What is the tech level of your nation: MT
What languages does YN speak: Spanish; dialect derived from Iberian Andaluz region
Does your nation have weapons of mass destruction? If so, how many weapons, and what are they?
Las Palmeras possesses no Biological weapons, nor does it have any desire to do so.
Las Palmeras used to possess VX and Sarin, but stockpiles have been destroyed per said in the UN 1993 accord on chemical weapons. We have the capacity to make more if we wanted.
Las Palmeras has no nuclear weapons; but has the capacity to develop them and already possesses potential delivery systems.
Las Palmeras loopholed the 1968 Tlatelolco Treaty however and made N2 warheads: super-refined thermobaric explosives, some of which have yields and effects similar to tactical nuclear warheads. The number of devices possibly range in the hundreds and are part of our defensive strategy.
Are there any issues with your nation internally? If so explain: No.
Are there any issues with your nation externally? If so explain:
Occasional but irrelevant economic friction over our investors in Africa.
Occasional disputes over territorial waters with Venezuela.
Are you a communist state or have been one? If the latter is true please go into more detail: Yes. 1959 to 1968. Questionably from 1968 to 1978.
The Movimiento 26 de Julio populist movement wrangled power from the 1st Palmeran Republic and its unpopular US-backed government; the revolt was more due to popular anger against the governments' lack of protection and welfare for ourselves, unfair treatment of local businesses and its corrupt links to US-based companies which overworked us than any real desire for "socialist revolution". And because of the exploitative sex tourism industry which catered to mostly American tourists, that hurt our pride. And in a very interesting detail, the mid and lower ranks of the army, permitted the revolt and later allied with it because they were the most Anti-American...but they were also descended from the impoverished military aristocrats that the USA deposed of power all the way back in 1899, when Las Palmeras was cut off from the Spanish Empire because of American intervention.
The new government accommodated itself to the USSR's socialist premises for protection until 1968. By then leftists from our country had disagreed and the closet-case military aristocrats pressured for more feasible economic reforms while also holding their grudge against the USA by supporting Chinese-style Third Worldism merely to spite them. Las Palmeras entered a practical alliance with the PRC since the 1970s, and then eventually made peace with the USA in 1978 by using China as an intermediary.
From then, LP's economy can be described as mixed, even after the re-instantiation to monarchy.
What are your opinions on commies: Occasionally somewhat-sympathetic college kids from the First World who have somewhat noble if unfeasible and unrealistic expectations; hardliners however have few redeeming qualities unless they'll buy things from us. In any case, they should be monitored and viewed with caution.
Have been in a state of hostility in the Kaiserriech before? If so explain:
N/A.
Any additional notes about your nation:
-Despite its end of an alliance to the USSR, Las Palmeras remained a favorable client of military hardware; and through unknown means, managed to obtain then-cutting edge military technology. Las Palmeras retains fairly amicable relations with the Russian Federation.
-Conspiracy kooks claim that the neko are descended from a long-lost technologically advanced civilization and that we reverse-engineer recovered archaeological artifacts; the government hasn't said anything about this claim, however. The Brujas Gemelas site is considered our "Area 51" in popular lore.
