Federation of the Americas (Hell's Gone Loose Timeline)

The Federation of the Americas (Spanish: Federación de las Américas), or just simply the "Federation", was a nation primarily located in both South and Central America that was formed after the Third Gulf War along with the Great Oil Famine. Originally Founded by Manolo Rivera on September 15, 2032, The Federation was a union of all Latin American Nations (with Panama, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina as Exceptions). On September 15, 2065, the Federation was reformed from a Military Dictatorship into a Federal Semi-Presidential Constitutional Republic. Federation City is the Capital (and Largest City) of the Federation of the Americas. It Shares borders with The United States of America, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Panama (which was surrounded by the Federation's Influence until The Second Fed-American War).

Creation of the Federation
During the Iran-Israel War and the Great Oil Famine, Manolo Rivera (from the Vivi-Mania Party) had won the 2030 Venezuelan Presidential Election and made immediately economic reforms. Despite reforms, Venezuela would go into default after the losing all of their oil reserves. Manolo Rivera, would later turn Venezuela from a Socialist-Planned Command Economy into a Mixed Economy State. With the discovery of Red Oil, Venezuela was able to climb out of it's depression and make a fortune from the new substance. Although it is more combustible than Regular Oil and more costly than Green Spice, Venezuela was able make various profits from it's buyers and allies (Mostly from the Union of Islamic Nations and the People's Republic of China). Manolo Rivera was made a hero by majority and the minority of Venezuela, due to his successful "New Plan" Act. Manolo Rivera would later reform relations with Cuba and Mexico and all three nations would unite under one banner... On September 15, 2032, The Federation of the Americas was formed.

Manolo's Peaceful Offers / Manolo's Untimely Death
Whilst having their unification unchecked by the Allegiance Coalition Treaty, the Federation of the Americas would later form Non-Aggression Admission Acts with various Nations in Central America and South America. Manolo Rivera was going to offer the nations of Brazil, Argentina, and Chile into the Federation, but with Brazil being a member of the Allegiance Coalition Treaty, other ACT nations would notice Brazil's Sudden Disappearance, so he decided to leave his southern neighbors alone. Nicaragua, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic accepted and were admitted into the Nation, while Guatemala, Honduras, El-Salvador, Belize, Haiti, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Guyana, Suriname, and Peru refused... Manolo accepted the nations refusal and left them alone as well.

Manolo would later become the Federation's "Flawless President", thinking that their leader would last another six years; however, Manolo Rivera was diagnosed with Lung Cancer, due to a severe addiction to cigarettes. Manolo was last seen siting next to General. Ross Rivera (his son) back in July 15, 2041. One Day Later on July 16th. Manolo Rivera (at an exact age of 60) had succumbed to his illness and passed away. Millions of Fedams had mourned his death, and called for Joss Rivera to become leader, in honor of his father. General Joss Rivera was sworn into office July 17, 2041.

The Joss Rivera Dictatorship
Although Joss Rivera received criticism from his Father's Supporters, everyone else praised him. Joss Rivera had turned the Federation of the Americas from a mixed economy into a Socialist Authoritarian State. He guaranteed to have the Central American Nations to admit themselves into the federation... Guatemala, Honduras, El-Salvador, Belize, Haiti, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Guyana, Suriname, and Peru still refused, and the unexpecting had happened.



Joss Rivera fulfilled his father's dream by threatening Guatemala, Honduras, El-Salvador, Belize, Haiti, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Guyana, Suriname, and Peru into the admission, or face consequences by military force. Political Dissidents scorned Joss for his violent actions but were censored by the state and sentenced to life imprisonment. One Political Dissident escaped the Federation and illegally immigrated into the United States. Despite illegal immigration, the dissident was allowed in and was allowed to explain why he illegally crossed the border. After hearing the Truth out of the Unknown FedAm, The Federation had unintentionally caused United States interest on the nation. After this incident, the United States of America would later discover the Existence of the United Latin-American Nation, and U.S. President, Tulsi Gabbard would later condemn The Federation of the Americas for forcefully annexing its allies and non-allies. General. Joss Rivera was angered that he was called out on his violent intention and started to carry out the torch of hate towards the United States of America and it's civilians. Joss had authorized every Federation Soldier to locate and kill every American Civilian either touring or residing in the Federation. With over 100,000 Dead Bodies (Most were American, while others were Canadian), being returned to the United States and Canada via boats, The United States was put into shock and horror after witnessing this horrific scene. U.S. Congress gave the Green Light of War Declaration to President Gabbard, which sparked the First Fed-American War... Four Phases of the war occurred so far.

Phase One
U.S. President, Tulsi Gabbard would authorize Task Force: Black-Ops to initiate "Operation: Mail", which was the Invasion of Federation City. Although the damage from Black-Ops and the U.S. Military, along with a deadly flood (cause by the Rivera Dam's destruction) would nearly hurt The Federation's Economy, The Federation Defense Force was able to push out the Invading Forces out of their Home City, July 15, 2042, resulting in a no clear victory, hence the fact that both sides suffered severe casualties.

The Federation of the Americas would later attack various U.S. Territories such as; Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Despite having a large number of troops, the United States had a larger class and Satellite: THOR in it's use, causing the Federation to cancel the attacks. Phase One is over.

Phase Two to Phase Three
Phases Two was mostly a Secretive Cold War between the Two Nations, but phase three was the Federation's all-out invasion against the nations of Guatemala, Honduras, El-Salvador, Belize, Haiti, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Guyana, Suriname, and Peru. The Federation would try to capture and annex the nation of Panama, but due to a massive U.S. Presence in the Area along with the Dangerous Darién Gap, the Federation was unable to take over Panama.

Phase Four
The Fourth Phase was the Final Phase of the War and saw various events unfolding throughout the process. On August 12, 2061, The Federation had emerged victorious at defeating the Belize Accords by capturing all of it's capitals by military force. The Belize Accords had no choice but to surrender to their enemies and admit themselves into the Latin American Union. September 1, 2061, U.S. President Lucas Price was shot and killed by a member of the Save Latinx Movement, Siona Aldoa. After Price's unfortunate demise, James Munson was sworn in U.S. Presidential Office. President Munson, eventually gave the green light to Task Force: Black Ops to initiate "Operation: Bluehouse"... The Assassination of Joss Rivera. Despite perfect planing, Joss Rivera was aware of the Assassination, thanks to his spies and scouts in the United States... Operation: Bluehouse had failed.

On September 14, 2065, 15 Soldiers (one of them being Carlos Rodriguez) had enough of General, Joss Rivera's greed and corruption... Joss Rivera was captured and then executed. Despite, Joss Rivera's execution and the removal of the Joss Regime, the War between the Federation and the United States was still existent.



The Fed-American Peace
On July 20, 2068, Federation and American Leaders have agreed to establish an armistice, but President James Munson had refused the offer of peace and decided to keep fighting, costing his election to Harry Gold. After the 2068 U.S. Presidential Elections, Harry Gold was inaugurated as 57th President of the United States, January 20, 2069. Harry Gold guaranteed and promised to establish relations with the Federation of the Americas, which eventually became inevitable. Relations between the United States of American and the Federation of the Americas had skyrocketed in 2070 and in 2071, after their cooperation in the War on Al-Qasim.

On November 14, 2072, the United States and the Federation had agreed to establish a truce, ending the First Fed-American War.

Economy
The Federation's rise began with the building of a massive economy. Due to the destructive conflict in the Middle East triggering a massive energy crisis, the Federation offered their massive oil reserves to the global market. Venezuela especially profited from the shortage, Mexico grew from it's unfortunate cartel war, and Cuba became a large supplier for mineral resources. Sometime before 2035, the Federation began putting a portion of their revenue into military spending. Fellow nations in South America, the Caribbean, and Central America began joining the Federation in hopes of contributing to the new supranational superpower. Other countries that were skeptical of the prospects of the alliance were eventually invaded and subjugated by the Federation's military.

By the 2050s, the Federation stood on equal economic, political, and military power as the United States. With its own massive oil, mineral, and agricultural resources, the United States managed to stay out of the Federation's influence, despite being able to prevent the country's further expansion. The Federation developed large financial, trade, manufacturing and corporate institutions to remain competitive against the United States. Vast new infrastructure programs revolutionized the country.

Since the 2070s, the Federation undisputedly tied with the United States as the world's largest economies. While the Western World was relying on the U.S. and Israel's Green Spice Products, The rest of the world remained dependent on the Federation's resources. Numerous complexes such as the Freeport Industrial Center (FIC), the Yzma Oil Drilling platform, and the Shop Development Facility were erected. Beyond capital, the Federation developed a significant technological prowess. Additionally, major cities like Federation City (formerly known as Caracas), Tenochia (Formerly known as Mexico City), and Havana completely rebuilt themselves.

Culture
Being composed of 21 nations, the Federation has a diverse, vibrant culture. The primary official language is Spanish with English, Creole, French, and indigenous languages also present. Traditional Latin American culture defines much of the nation.

The Federation is very dedicated to their military as it is a major political force. General Joss Rivera initiated this cultural attribute through dominance of nations that opposed him. The Federation has multiple national holidays, one of them being Federation Day, September 15th.

The Federation's Government prides itself on having close relations with their native tribes. This may come out of necessity to get local support for the construction of infrastructure throughout the interior. It could also be a method to make the Federation appear morally superior to the United States which relocated their indigenous populations into reservations.

Politics
The political-spectrum of the Federation of the Americas would vary between left and right politics. Its current type of government is a Federal Semi-Presidential Constitutional Republic, but The Federation was a former Military Dictatorship under General. Joss Rivera (until his imprisonment in 2065), as they've shown to share atrocities with other corrupt nations, such as; disregards for human rights, acts of aggression, and the unjustified execution of civilians.

The Federation of the Americas was a Command Economy, controlled by State Capitalists and Authoritarian Socialists, until 2084.

Military
As the rise of their power grew in the early years of its creation, the Federation's military expanded in terms of weaponry and equipment which made them formidable for the once dominant U.S. military. Their arsenal of weaponry came from weapon manufacturers of Russia, the Former NATO, Korea, Israel, and even the United States and Brazil. Prior to the First Fed-American War, Federation troops looked like a typical South American military, wearing jungle camouflage patterned BDUs, simple low-bearing gear, and a mixture of Soviet-style combat helmets and ballcaps. After the First Fed-American War and during the height of their power, Federation troops look like a well uniformed streamline opponent to the beleaguered U.S. forces wearing combat shirts and combat pants in different camouflage patterns (either in urban, woodland, snow colored, navy, and all-black camouflage). All Federation soldiers also are equipped with the most state-of-the-art military-grade protective plate carriers and Kevlar helmets (many with ballistic face shields attached to rail adapters on the sides of the helmets). Some Federation soldiers wear red berets instead, most likely to signify NCOs and senior leadership.

There’s also different parts of sections of the Federation Army. Different like the regular army wearing gear like the modern US military utilizes, while the Security forces wears the body armor front of their jacket loaded with light equipment. Back in the mid-2030s, the Federation soldiers or PMC of their helmets wearing the Russian uniform, equipment, and as well their own camouflage. Loaded with South American rifles, and the Russian Submachine Guns for close range combat. While the years goes on, they have new modern technology same like the United States. The Federation Special Forces or the PMC Elite is not a company but an elite faction with their eagle on the side arm cover alongside with newer equipment they held which is identical to the US Special Forces but are equip the same weapons as the Army but have access to the K7 Submachine Guns for stealth operations. The Federation forces have different camouflage appearances to blend in the environment for better purposes. The camouflage are base from USA and Russia when they're are more helpful for the environment better.

Foreign Relations
Despite being the world's second economic, political, technological, and military superpower, the Federation would mostly vary from being benign or mundane to violent approaches to global affairs. American negotiators sent to the Federation were removed and deported, while American Tourists were either imprisoned or Executed. It's Government justified this action by claiming that America had directed global affairs in its own destructive interests for too long. During the First Fed-American War, the United States of America and the Federation of the Americas were at each others throats, with the war having 4 phases. After successfully declaring a ceasefire, Federation President, Georgeo Avasto eventually made a peace treaty with U.S. President. Lucas Price. After the First Fed-American War, the United States and the Federation became economic partners. Unfortunately, this would not last when the Circle of Blood framed the United States as the Perpetrators of the Rivera International Airport Massacre... it worked somehow, but President, Carlos Rodriguez never pressed charges against the United States. Tensions further expanded, when Joaquin Rivera snuffed his leader's (Carlos Rodriguez') life without hesitation or remorse, established the return for Marxism in the Federation (which he fulfilled his father's destiny for the Federation), and invaded the United States. Despite several political differences between the two, The Ultra-Federalists and the Benign Americas Party formed a coalition against Joaquin Rivera and started the Federation Civil War. After hearing the death of Joaquin Rivera whilst winning the Federation Civil War, the Ultra-Federalists would agree on terms merge with the Benign Americas Party and create the "United Federation of the Americas", ending the Federation Civil War.
