The '''People's Republic of Puertego''' commonly called '''Puertego''', is a {{wp|unitary state|unitary}} {{wp|Marxist-Leninist}} {{wp|Presidential system|presidential}} {{wp|republic}} currently under the rule of President Matthias Torres the leader since 2008 though since the enacting of various capitalist policies the legitimacy of them calling themselves Marxist-Leninist has been questioned. It is bordered on the north by [[Pelaxia]], on the west by the Natiserve Bay, and in the east by [[Patraja]]. Puertego covers 1,002,931 square kilometers and has an estimated population of 65 million. Puertego comprises of 12 states and 1 federal district.

Puertego was first a collection of tribes that inhabited its modern-day borders and the land around it until the first empire of the region came to be. Puertego was originally colonized by [[Caphiria]] under the nickname of Puerto Negro by anti-slavery advocates for the port being corrupted or evil because of the large number of slaves moving through and that were in the colony, things got better slowly with the numbers of slaves slowly decreasing until the outlawing of slavery in 1798 where all of them were freed. However, after the abolition of slavery in the territory the rich landowner class who benefited from it were not happy with losing all their free labor along with the land reforms attempted to be put in place by Pelaxia made them begin to desire more autonomy over the region, this desire for autonomy kept growing and growing until they desired full independence from Pelaxia which they hoped to achieve by stoking fear of Pelaxia in the people of Puertego hoping they would revolt after provoking the Pelaxian government, they managed to achieve this after a civil war against Pelaxia letting them gain their independence in 1904. After independence the country fell into the sphere of influence of the Caphirians who installed multiple puppet dictators from among the landowners to run the country as a banana republic with conditions barely improving for the workers, corruption running rampant, and any industry that wasn't mining or agriculture going bankrupt. The country stayed like this until 1958 where multiple protests and revolts finally got the government to begin transitioning to democracy, however both Urcea and the Caphirians almost immediately became heavily dividing issues in the country's elections with the Puertegan Conservative Party and the Puertegan Labor Party cyclically taking power and cracking down on the other when they gained power until 1972 when the Caphirian government authorized a military coup where a fascist dictator took power, banning political parties until he was overthrown by a communist revolution in 1980 with the country being ruled as a one party state until 1992 where a civil war between the hardline Communist Red Flag party and the reformist Communist White Flag Party broke out ending in 1997 when the Communist White Flag party won and assumed control of the government. The Communist White Flag party is still the incumbent party in the nation's government and them having lost either their majority in parliament or a presidential election for one of their candidates, President Matthias Torres has served as the President of Puertego for 22 years since 2008 as a member of the party and has taken large measures to liberalize the country's economy preventing stagnation.

Puertego is a regional and middle power in international politics. Puertego is considered a developing, lower-middle income, and newly industrialized country, a large portion of their economy is made by natural resources and industry. The government of Puertego is considered an authoritarian regime which maintains elections that are regular and free though not fair while also having strong authoritarian powers such as the ability to crack down on freedoms such as speech, assembly, association, and the press with the country constantly being ranked one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists having at least 220 actively serving prison time for charges of trying to incite public disorder pressed on them by the government and having an extremely poor record with human rights including torture, arbitrary arrests, extrajudicial executions, and unfair trials among many others along with massive levels of corruption and censorship. The country tries to maintain a balanced policy in foreign affairs to try and keep trade good with all countries, making concessions to them without swinging too far to one side.

The name Puertego comes from a combination of the Spanish words Puerto Negro the countries former nickname by anti-slavery advocates to mean that the country war corrupted or evil due to the large number of slaves that came from it and were moved through it, however after the Puertegan Communist Red flag party gained power in 1980 they changed the name of the country to its current name in order to avoid any former implication the nation could have had with slavery.

The first evidence of civilization in the territory that makes up modern day Puertego has been dated back to the 14th century BC when the first Puertegan natives settled the regions first towns, Puertegan native society was primarily based on subsistence agriculture with food such as corn and potatoes though they also showed signs of growth after their civilizations were thought to have discovered irrigation with evidence of early currency and organized religion with various effigies found around certain sites though they have never had any signs of a written language at this point. Ancient Puertego was made up of several dozen native tribes but there were 4 main ones that inhabited the countries modern day borders with the first evidence of cities in the region being found around 8000 BC with it being built around modern day San Lina, being the first to build such a thing in the region provided a large benefit to the Utanah civilization with them using the cities economic and military advantages to conquer their neighboring tribes until their eventual collapse at which point one of the civilizations they conquered rose up and took San Lina from them repeating the cycle until eventually the first empire Puertego had seen rose up in 510 BC conquering all of the modern day territory.
