' | The People's Republic of Puertego commonly called Puertego, is a Unitary Marxist-Leninist Presidential Republic currently under the rule of President Matthias Torres the leader since 2001 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 Ostar, and Asna on the south by T'rirwin, by the east by Oflistan and on the west by the Sea of Moringeo. Puertego covers 1,185,182 square kilometers and has an estimated population of 65 million making it the 22nd most populous country in the world. Puertego comprises of 12 states and 1 territory. | ||
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 the Spanish in the mid 1500's under the name of Puerto Negro 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 1811 where all of them were freed. However, Puertego was still largely impoverished and ruled over my oppressive colonial overlords who brutally repressed the people when they demanded change and treated their newly freed workers almost the same as they did when they were slaves causing multiple large-scale revolts until the country finally gained its independence in a war against Spain in 1904 with one of the last things the Spanish did when they still had control was build a canal which has been a vital part of Puertego's economy ever since. After independence the country fell into the sphere of influence of the Americans who installed multiple puppet dictators 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 the end of WW2 where multiple protests and revolts finally got the government to begin transitioning to democracy, however both the Soviets and the Americans almost immediately began to meddle 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 American 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 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 taxing trade that comes through the Puertego canal which runs through the nation. The government of Puertego is considered a hybrid 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 400 actively serving prison time for defemation charges 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 neutral policy in foreign affairs to try and keep trade good with all countries though they have shown a preference towards the eastern world when push comes to shove. | |||
Puertego is a member of the [[League of Nations]]. | |||
