NAME: Incan Empire
CAPITAL: Cuzco
POPULATION: 78,490,000
LEADER: Emperor Gokashiwabara Capac
GOVERNMENT: Constitutional Monarchy
MILITARY:
Imperial Incan Navy
Imperial Incan Army
-Imperial Incan Army
-Imperial Incan Flying Corps
TECHNOLOGY: Late WW2-1960s. The civilian sector has 1960s electronics while the military ranges from late WW2 to the 1960s in technology itself. The military doctrines are similar to OTL's pre-World War 1 and airplanes, while similar to late WW2, are largely used for scouting though they have aerial combat capabilities. Battleships are still the main warship of the Incan navy, though they are designed with a small flight deck for a small amount of scouting aircraft and have technology similar to OTL's 1960s. The Army is also equal to OTL's 1960s with automatic rifles, helmets, etc, but all armor capability is in the form of armored vehicles bristling with machine guns and rockets for use mostly on roads and in cities.
HISTORY:
In Japan, the Kemmu Restoration led by Emperor Go-Daigo succeeded and all of Japan came under direct imperial rule by 1345. As a result, peace was established between the daimyo of the Home Islands and Japanese trade both domestically and in the waters of East Asia flourished. When the Portugese arrived in the Malay Archipelago in the early 16th century, open conflict broke out between Imperial Japan and the Portugese over control of Malacca and the Moluccas, or Spice Islands. Japan took over the Nanpou Islands (Philippines) in addition to Malacca and the Moluccas in an effort to lock out the European interlopers from their trade and, in 1521, encountered a Spanish vessel in the Nanpou Islands arriving from east across unknown waters, under the command of Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan was escorted to the Imperial court at Kyoto where he told of the New World that was discovered across what he called the Pacific Ocean. Magellan was sent home to Spain loaded down with silk, ceramics and spices and the Emperor decided to send expeditions across the Pacific to explore the New World themselves.

In 1524, a Japanese expedition arrived at the Incan coastline and met with Incan officials. They believed the Japanese to be demigods related to their peace-loving god Viracocha, who was described 'as a man with fair skin and white beard, attired in a long robe and sandals, carrying a staff with a cougar lying at his feet' and had left from the coast after being hounded by 'evil people in short clothes', promising one day to return. As it was late in the year, the Japanese expedition was taken to the nearest tambo, or hostel, and wintered there until spring when they made their way towards the Incan capital of Cuzco to meet with Emperor Huayna Capac. Unfortunately, the Incan Emperor died before the Japanese arrived but arrived just in time to intervene in the brewing civil war between his sons Atahuallpa and Huascar. Seen as demigods, the Japanese expedition was allowed to choose the successor. After some negotiations, the Japanese chose Atahuallpa and Huascar was executed as he tried to flee Cuzco to raise support elsewhere. Atahuallpa granted Japan trading bases along the coasts and a trading post in Cuzco itself. When the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizzarro arrived in Incan lands in 1532, they were seen as the 'evil people in short clothes', an image that Japanese traders and envoys played up, and Pizzarro and his band were defeated by Incan forces with Japanese advisors.

Over the following centuries, the Incan Empire became a client state of the Empire of Japan and both Shinto and Buddhism were introduced. Eventually, an Incan version of Shinto developed in which it was believed that Viracocha was somehow related to the Japanese goddess Amaterasu who is the divine ancestor of the Japanese Imperial family, making the Inca and Japanese practically family. The marriage of an Incan Emperor to a Princess of the Japanese Imperial line in the 17th century helped solidify the ties between the two empires. Today, the Inca are part of Japan's Pacific Co-Prosperity Zone, a military and economic alliance system, that controls most of the Pacific Rim and islands through colonies and client states. Tensions with the patchwork of European-descended nations and colonies in the rest of South America are high and Incan forces hold regular military exercises with Imperial Japanese forces from the Japanese colony of Shippou (Argentina).

Hopefully this works. This might seem a little wierd or unpollished mainly becasue it is. Be free to ask any questions due to confusion, and if anyone out there who has the time and the talent to replecate the flag not only get's my deepest appreciattion, but also some warm chocolate chip cookies and a cool glass of milk, not to mention their own Vexillology merrit bage.


Name: Amazonia
Capital: Thomasville Formerly Georgetown
Government: Representative Democracy
Leader: President Edward Heathcliffe
Flag: Similar to OTL Fiji blue background with union jack in upper left corner. In the middle is a jaguar on three legs the other paw in the air
History: In this ATL it was England not Portugal that was able to become the main colonizer of this region. What started as Guyana was expanded into and past the Amazon river.
As England moved further into the continent they found gold. This gold was able to fund scientists and inventors in England so that in this ATL the industrial revolution came much faster. In the final years as a Brittish Colony Amazonia was used as a feuling station for Darwin's ship the HMS Beagle. In 1845 Darwin donated a large amount of money into the creation of (Queen Anne's College, later Queen Anne's Univeristy and even later the Charles Darwin Scientific Institute where it is one of the biggest and most well recived institutions of scientific learning in the intire world.)
In 1872 A man by the name of Thomas Phillips who studied as an ecologist before entering the political field was inspired not only, by the people of United States and Canada as well as Jesus Christ and Buddah decided that it would be best for the people of Amazonia if they were a free independent nation. He began spreading his beliefs around and soon nearly the whole nation was behind him.
In 1878 with the Anglo-Amazonia Aliance or AAA. Amazonia become one of the only nations to achive it's independence in non-violent means. It wasn't until twentyyears after Phillips death in 1936, almost a century almost a hundred years after Darwin first stopped on his way to the Galapagos islands, the people of Amazonia chabged the capital city of Georgetown to Thomasville in honor of the father of the their country.
As a member of the Brittish Commonwealth Amazonia has sided with England in WWI and WWII and any many other militaristic conflicts. Amazonia has also kept the US in check with the number of gold medals it recives in the Olympics. They also do the same for Australia in the commonwealth games.
Politicly speaking Amazonia has always been on the liberal side of things. (Imagine a stereotypical Canada gone south for the winter) They have always been realy open to forigners in need. this can be seen by the supprizingly large numbers of Easter European Jews in some of the larger cities

NAME: Dominion of Chile-Argentina,
CAPITAL: Wellington [Dominion of Chile-Argentina]
POPULATION: 20,541,000
LEADER: Queen Elizabeth II, Governor-General Stanley Kebbol [Falklands], Prime Minister Hans Wellington y Sanchez [DCA*]
GOVERNMENT: Constitutional Monarchy
MILITARY

TECHNOLOGY: Fall 1983

For many years, the Dominion of Chile-Argentina was subject to an on-going rebellion by various insurrectionists aiming for the expulsion of all non-Hispanic peoples within Argentina. Sadly, from 1960 to 1983, the level of violence soon increased due to heavy US support to these groups in order to destablize the DCA's power within South America. This soon resulted in the Red Faction Invasion and key assassinations of governmental officials in 1983. That action quickly spurred the DCA to formally declare war on the insurrectionists, quickly pulverizing any rebel stronghold that they encountered. Two years passed with the insurrectionists soon encased within the city of Cordoba, subject to constant artillery and aerial bombardment by the DCA military. In early 1985 the action stopped with the introduction of the 'Buster Bomb'- the first explosive to carry biological viruses specifically designed for humans.

As a result of that action, all insurrectionist activity within Northern Argentina ended. In the following years from '85 to '00, the DCA soon focused their attention on their northern border, quickly ending the Brazilian Civil War, and ushering a new era of peace within that era. In the present date, North Argentina is currently experiencing a new wave of immigrants from Brazil and other countries seeking a new life. As for those sites that were privy to the intense fighting of the Red Faction War, they have been decreed as a "national monument", and are currently staffed by Park Rangers.

(However, it should be noted that the border between North Argentina and Brazil are heavily guarded due to the constant threat of guerillas within DCA occupied territories)

TECHNOLOGY: 1993/2004

The Outer Territories (for a lack of a better term) consists of all Southern Brazil and much of the outer coasts. The reason why this came to be is partly from the USA's fault, whom deemed it necessary to install a pro-American regieme within South America that would deter the political and military power that the SCF had [read: DCA]. This support quickly lead to the destabilization of that country, thereby causing a massive civil war that caused the DCA to get involved. In 2004, the Outer Territories are being moved towards self-governance and incorporation within the DCA. However, there has been a constant threat of guerillas within the northern boundaries that agitate for a more...independent stance rather than part of the DCA. This movement has been met with brutal force by the DCA troops (due to the usage of the 'Red Faction' symbol) and is currently being dealt with by the UN in order to broker peace between the two groups.

HISTORY:

Scholars today have posed the question on the possibility of this island being the only remaining colony of the UK in South America. Of course this idea has been posed as "idiotic" due to the success that the Falkland Islands have had for the past 20 years due to the upsurgence of tourism in the UK's dominions. The most popular site of attraction of tourism is the Port Stanley Memorial Park where the "Red Fist" seperatist faction from Northern Argentina attempted a surgical strike in order to ward off continuing UK aid to the Argentinian and Chilean government. Sadly this ended with a high civilian casulty rate as well as the elimination of the members of the Red Faction group.

The Falkland Islands is part of the "Southern Circle" of nations under UK jurisdiction due to the historical intervention during the Independence Wars in the early 19th century. This intervention has lead to both Argentina as well as Chile adopting the Jacobian type government whereas a Parlimentary type government was established on the federal level with a state house of rep/senators established on the provincial level. In 1960 this type of government had brought much success to both Argentina and Chile that both helped to establish the Southern Circle Federation, including countries such as the breakaway provience of Urguary, Paraguay, and Southern Peru. But due to the heavy anti-Western seperatist movement funded by the Brazilian junta, the headquarters of the SCF was moved to the Falkland Islands, which by this time, showed a movement to becoming a 'Dominion" in the United Kingdoms, and was considering to join the SCF as an independent entity.

The "Red Fist" Invasion stopped this trend in 1962, with British forces sent to properly put down a 'seperatist takeover of sovereign UK territory'. This retaliation strike soon lead to the euphoria of success leading to the revival of the British economy. Both the SCF and the Falkland Islands benefited by this success with an enforced military presence near the Brazilian border and the 'built up' of Port Stanley as the basis of a joint SCF/UK operations in economy and military. By 1968 the junta in Brazil had been overthrown by internal conflicts and properly accepted in the SCF.

The Falkland Islands is now a self-soveriegn dominion in the United Kingdoms as well as a member of the SCF. Port Stanley has benefited from this dual role with the city expanding twice fold it's size in pre-1950's. This success has also managed to 'shift' the economy of the Falkland Islands to a more tourism role, easing the transportation from the SCF members to the Antartic "Territories". Recently there has been a movement in the Falkland Parliment to fully nationalize it's transportation companies as well as renaming itself from the Falkland Islands to the Marianas, in recognition of the Argentinian aid that has been shown so far.

Additional bits:
-> Much of the Dominon of Chile-Argentina are heavily militarized due to a history of fighting seperatists to the north. This has resulted in much of it's military based on the "air-cavarly" idea from Vietnam in addition to more heavy artillery based pieces.
-> Although the Dominion of the Falklands is a different nation than the Dominion of Chile-Argentina, it is on good terms and functions more or less as a 'little brother' to it's neighbor.

=========================================
SA 1

Name Columbian Republic, OSA
Capital Bogota
Leader President Fatima Guiterrez, Chief Consul Gomez Zapatista Mestza (head of the OSA)
Government Republic; special designated seats reserved for "residential districts"
Military
Columbian Army
Columbian Navy (including Marines/Coast Guard)
Columbian Air Force
Population 20,360,775

In this TL, the Mexican Revolution did not occur due to Zapata being not refused in reclaiming land as occupied by another party. There was also the added POD that Diaz being more liberal towards the end of his last presidential term, thereby helping to usher Mexico into first world status in the late 1910's and early 1920's. This really threw off US foreign policy as other Latin American countries began to follow Mexico's path and trying to find their own road to first world status. In 1925 the Organization of American States was founded amongst Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico in order to help to safeguard their fragile economic status. [which was in full swing due to World War 1 and it's aftermath] This success quickly attracted attention by other nations, namely the struggling Republic of Columbia, who was given enough aid by the OAS to make it less of a target of US "imperialism"

By the year 2004, much of the OAS has become a respected international organization with huge financial/agricultural/commercial reserves. In response to this, the US has become a shadow of it's former self, and mainly depends on the OAS and Canada in solving it's increasing spat of economic crises. Europe is mainly either socialist democracies or consitutional monarchies. This is the same to Africa and Asia, which is being assisted by the OAS to help gain first world status. There has been some talk of actually founding a United Nations, but most people regard the OAS as the main group to solve their problems.

SA 3

Name: Guyanuan Federated Republic, OSA
Capital: Linden
Leader: President Guaran Pelen, Lt. General Yoesph Iaccom [military]
Government: Republic, although in transition
Military:
OSA Peacekeepers (mainly hailing from the Carribbean, Mexico, and Brazil)
Guyanuan Militia
Population: 15,000,000 (last count was in '92)

The Guyanuan Federated Republic is a mess. Due to constant US interference within the Guyanas (the last stronghold they had in South America), much of the population was orientated in aiding missions that would "deter the OSA dominance along our Southern borders". This intereference soon waned with the US slowly falling into economic recession in the '40's and '50's, leaving the Guyana's in a very messy situation. Thus, the OSA stepped in to help the Guyana's to get on their feet, and hopefully have them achieve first world status. This venture has gone on for about 50 years now with no end in sight. The reason behind this dismal failure mainly lies within Mexico being involved with the America Crisis [AZ, CA, NM left the Union and became Mexican territory] and the constant threat of pro-US milita forces hiding in the jungle. Much of the population within the GFR mostly consists of OSA personnel and "pioneers" from other countries that have come to aid the beleaguered Guyanan population.

Name: The Dominion of Australia
Capital: Avalon
Population: 214,340,000
Leader: Head of State: King Robert VII of Britannia. Prime Minister Sir James Simonson.
Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Military:
Royal Australian Army: 605,000
Royal Australian Navy: 275,000
Royal Australian Marines: 35,000
Royal Australian Aero Force: 184,000
Federal Force: 95,000
Technology: Equivalent to modern day OTL.

History:

The territory now known as the Dominion of Australia was ceded to the Kingdom of Britannia in 1635 at the Third Congress of Reme. The congress was convened by Pope Mary V in an attempt to defuse the tensions that had arisen between the Western European Reman successor states over the colonisation of the new world.

Over the next 200 years the various chartered colonies of Australia were along with Arcadia in North Oceania the destination of 90% of Britannia’s migrant population. During the Arcadian Rebellion of the 1820’s Australia remained loyal to the Britannic Crown despite strong public sympathy for the ideals of the rebels. Both these factors were addressed in 1840 when the individual colonies were united as a federal, self governing dominion within the Britannic Empire.

During the 19th century Australia’s political and economic growth were rapid and by 1900 it was the second richest country of the Empire surpassed only by Britannia itself. When the new, federal Britannic Union began to replace the old empire during the 1920’s Australia was among the charter members along with Britannia, the Republic of Arcadia, Nova Scotia, Oregon and Britannic East Africa. As a member of the Union Australian forces fought in both World Wars showing particular courage during the unsuccessful defence of Reme during the Central European Pact’s invasion of the Kingdom of Italia.

Since the end of the Second World War in 1966 and the beginning of the cold war with the Euro-Asiatic Alliance Australia, like the majority of the world’s democracies, has been a member of the Oceanic League.
