 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 when they were placed under Pelaxian control 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 never 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.

 ===Climate and environment===
-The climate of Puertego is largely tropical with the countries environment being made up of many rain forests in the south and central regions of the country and prairies in the northern parts of the country which eventually fade into small temperate forests which turn into the nations hot and humid rain forests, the eastern parts of the country are very mountainous and hilly. The country gets an average of 1132.84 millimeters (44.6 inches) of rain annually with the southern areas getting as much as 1574.8 millimeters (62 inches) of rain annually, temperatures across the country reach a high of 33.3 degrees Celsius (92 degrees Fahrenheit) with the southern parts of the country getting temperatures as high as 43.3 degrees Celsius (110 degrees Fahrenheit) in the summer. The country has had many natural disasters over its history with the most common one being floods, flooding has been thought to have caused as much as 710 million dollars in damage to Puertegan civilians and infrastructure. Puertego's environmental policy has also been extremely controversial with the country being regarded as very callous to environmental destruction including water pollution, air pollution, and deforestation, it has been hypothesized by researchers that many species native only to Puertego could go extinct in the next 20 years due to widespread destruction of their habitats if nothing is done about the countries deforestation and pollution.
