United Republics (Night of the Living Alternate History Map Game)

The United Republics is a OTL United Kingdom style sovereign state in South America where each country will still maintain autonomous powers. However, the Union of these countries provides regional co-operation and streamlining for military action, research, trade, industrialization,and exploration. "National" Laws of the UR do exist, however, some nations still have stricter laws and enforcement similar to the state-federal relationship of the OTL United States.

The goal at the formation of this Union was to eradicate Zombies within the Republics and surrounding areas, create an exploratory/militia to push into the northern border of this union and relieve the border countries of zombies. The UR continues to attempt to liberate Catholic and neighboring countries of the infection.

Proposal
At the beginning of the year 1973 the Providences of Argentina approved a proposal to create the United Republics of Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. They also approved the same measures as the United Republics of Argentina and Chile, United Republics of Argentina and Uruguay, and approved with reservation the United Republics of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay. The leaders in border Providences have campaigned to create a union of these nations. Ideally these united republics would like to occupy what is known as the Southern Cone or Cono Sur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Cone

In this proposal each country is understand as:

Chile - Democratic government of The Republic of Chile

Brazil - the displaced Federative Republic of Brazil

Uruguay - the displaced Oreintal Republic of Uruguay

On July 1st, 1973 the Republic of Chile accepted the proposal of Argentina to form the United Republics

In the middle 1973 a invitation was sent to the Falklands Islands (Islas Malvinas), who declared their independence from England and the United Kingdom. This invitation was accepted on November 25th, 1973 Just before on November 1, 1973, Argentina and Chile's Antarctic Claims to create the dependency of Antártida. Antártida was established as a research and exploratory state in Antarctica, and will be administered by Argentina and the United Republics.

On March 26th, 1974 the Eastern Republic of Uruguay accept their invitation, however, theirr state is currently in a moderate to severe state of infection north of Duranzo. Then the state of infection is light in the area to the south. The cities of Montevido, Maldonado, Santa Lucia, San Carlos, and San Jose are clear of infection, as of the end of 1974. As of September 1975 nearly all of Uruguay is scare to low in infection status.

On September 1st, 1975, The United Republics claimed the Antarctic region between 90W and 150W, the territory will be listed as a dependency and is to be administered by Argentina, Chile, and the UR. It is established as a research and exploratory state bordering Antartida.

On October 19th, 1978 Paraguay applied and accepted an invitation to join the United Republics. This marked the succesfull liberation of Paraguay from infection and the rise of a rebuilt and robust nation.

In 1980 Boliva was proposed to be split into many nations, but in 1981 under the Treaty of Surce Bolvia was granted Independence on the condition that the UR got to keep its base in Santa Cruz.

Government
See government structure page for now

Argentina
The Republica Argentina claims the history and to be the successor state of the Republica Argentina which broke away in 1853 from Spain. During the Z-Day, Argentina was broken into several factions. One was a communist guerilla group and another the Anticommunist Argentine Alliance. This group was led by Jose Lopez Rega. Due to the zombie outbreak in Northern Chile, Northern Argentina, and other neighboring countries Argentina has sealed its borders and even some providences to contain the outbreak in other nations and to handle internal disputes led by communist gorilla groups. As of 1973 the tide began to turn in battle and Argentina has begun to drive out the communist gorillas and create more habitable space in Southern and the Mountainous Regions of Argentina.

Chile
On July 1, 1973 the UR was founded in Commodra Rividara by representives from the Democratic Government of Chile, exilled from the country earlier, and immediatly Argentine Alliance forces began to invade central and northern Chile, and by 1980 completed pushing militants into Northern Peru.

Islas Malvinas (Falklands)
The Islas Malvinas were relatively unaffected by the zombie horde due to their isolation as an island, but through a miscommunication, and no knowledge of the then current situation in the UK, they were lead to believe that a foreign power had invaded the UK when it was the UK lead destruction of the rebel state of London. They saw this as their chance, after a short period of independence, they realised they could not hope to defend themselves, and after a short period of negotiation they joined the UR. Also included under the Falklands leadership is the South Georgia and Sandwich Islands.

Paraguay
Paraguay joined the UR on October 19th, 1978. Paraguay became the fifth member of the UR. They joined after the UR rebuilt Ascenscion and helped liberate the region from infection. Paraguay after joining redesigned its flag with Chilean, Incan, and Argentine influence seen in the symbolism

Uruguay
On March 26th, 1974 the Eastern Republic of Uruguay accept their invitation, however, their state was in a moderate to severe state of infection north of Duranzo. Then the state of infection is light in the area to the south. The cities of Montevido, Maldonado, Santa Lucia, San Carlos, and San Jose are clear of infection, as of the end of 1974. As of September 1975 nearly all of Uruguay is scare to clear in infection status. In 1975 Uruguay was given back the territory of Montevideo, with limited UR troops in the city to protect from infection, but rather have been reasigned as a coastal defense and have begun to rebuild up the commerce, industrial, and infastructure of Uruguay

Portugal
In 1975 UR decided to assist other catholic nations by freeing them from Infection. Thus the UR sent a scout team to Libson and Southwest Portugal and established control and order over the region of OTL Portugal by the end of 1982. Because of the time and precautions spent in Liberating Portugal, Portugal has become a UR Vassal State as of 1982. Portugal underwent massive rebuilding efforts and even more have been planned by the UR and by Portugese Government.

Murcia
In Summer (European) of 1982 UR forces left Portugal to help clear out the province of Murcia. After a few weeks they made contact with former Spainish government officals. After giving Spain supplies and clearing out the area of Cartegena, Murcia is gifted back to the Spanish government (now administering over Northern and Eastern Spain, and the city of Madrid), in good faith of letting Granada control itself.

Flag
The current provisional flag was designed by Chilean child Adrian Remario, 16. The circle representing a never ending Union, and within it a White Mountain - representing the Chile and Andes Mountains, a Blue Hill - representing Argentina, a dark blue plato representin Uruguay, and two islands representing the Islas Malvinas (Falkland Islands).

In 1982 the UR started another flag design competition.

1978 World Cup
The 1978 World Cup was awarded to Argentina. After Z-Day, sport was suspended, but Argentina demanded the event continue as it will bring development to Argentina as well as peace and a sense of normalcy to the rest of the world. Due to the outbreak though, the qualifying process was replaced with an invitation only tournament to clear regions of the world. In addition because of the infection status of northern Argentina, games will also be hosted in Chile and the rest of the United Republics. Argentina will also host an Summit to establish a OTL UN style Organization. This has also led to the Argentina investing in hotels, a state of the art stadium, and commerce areas.
