Gran Colombia (Cthulhu Sleeps)

Gran-Colombia is a nation-state originally made up of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Chile (the northern section that was saved.). It officially came into being in 1872 following a period of mass Monster incursions in which multiple nations began to fall apart as the Onslaught of the Monsters began to take its Toll.

Colombia was the Main proponent of recreating it and with major influences in Venezuela and Ecuador the Colombian government newly powerful and centralized proposed the reunification of these areas once again into Gran-Colombia. Following this proposal Ecuador and Venezuela Agreed and with Colombia and Chile brought about the recreation which was met with major fanfare and thanks as a unified and concerted effort was being brought to bear to fight off the monsters.

The Existence of Gran-Colombia is owed in fact to the Efforts in Ecuador, and various nearby nations by the Colombians to prevent the expansion of a monster threat. By 1870 Colombia had spilled its blood to defend itself, Ecuador, Chile, and Peru and had succeeded in securing open trade with the British Empire in an attempt to support its every growing war effort.

Origins.
Gran-Colombia is an association of unified states and is a Federal republic. It stems from Colombias open interventionist policy when it came to Monster Incursions. These Incursions led to colombia deploying thousands of its troops to Ecuador, Peru and Chile, which with support of an extremely supernationalist party began to integrate many of these nations into Gran-colombia peacefully however unintended consequences of this much sought after party were groups that were pro Federalist, and were against their own government. One such group is in Peru which essentially has a majority of its populace fighting for its lives and is barely supported by its own government and sees Gran-Colombia as their next step.

Along with this Colombia proper has undergone a huge shift as its populace becomes much more well prepared, knowledgeable and ready to fight monsters at a moments notice. To support this the Colombians implemented the Serrano Doctrine which brought most threats to a clear and decisive end.

Government.
The federal government of Gran-Colombia, is the national central government of the Federative Republic of Gran-Colombia established by the Federal Constitution to share sovereignty over the national territory with the other federating units – the States, the Federal District and the Municipalities. Gran-Colombia is a federal presidential constitutional republic, based on representative democracy. The federal government has three independent branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. Executive power is exercised by the executive branch, headed by the President, advised by a Cabinet. The President is both the head of state and the head of government. Legislative power is vested upon the National Congress, a two-chamber legislature comprising the Federal Senate and the House of Representatives. Judicial power is exercised by the judiciary, consisting of the Supreme Federal Court, the Superior Court of Justice and other Superior Courts, the National Justice Council and the regional federal courts. The Federal Constitution is the supreme law of the nation. It is the foundation and source of the legal authority underlying the existence of Gran-Colombia and the federal government. It provides the framework for the organization of the government and for the relationship of the federal government to the states, to citizens, and to all people within Gran-Colombia. The seats of the federal government is located in Bogota and Caracas respectively and alternate between the two Locations throughout the Year at 6 month intervals.

Military
The Military of Gran-Colombia is a focus on Quality over Quantity and since the Emergence of the Monsters has seen combat in multiple theaters. The Navy however remains the most well versed and prepared due to its forced constant state of readiness for coastal attacks. The Military is a force of about 350,000 which is made up of people from all states. The men are drilled for their quality and only possess the best equipment that can be procured. Since the beginning of Trade with the British, Gran-Colombian troops have been acquiring the top notch british rifles and artillery to use in their armed forces.

The Gran-Colombian armed forces has seen a great deal of Success (carried over from Colombian successes as well) and has high morale, and a newly emerging prestige which has earned them the respect of nations like Britain, and Peru in their ongoing attempts to prevent Monsters to overrun the Continent.

The Military Industry of the Nation is currently a work in progress and thanks to Colombian help the Industry has developed considerably to the point that it can manufacture some of its own weaponry, even though British weaponry is preferred.
