Nueva Granada (Avaro)

== The Republic of Nueva Granada==

A regional power of latin America that was established after Colombia reabsorbed most of Former Venezuela and the extinct republic of Ecuador. Before the the second great war. the POD to the creation of the new northern power house of south america is the early military intervention in Colombia that stopped the Violencia from happening and subsequently stabalizing the country before putting it on a path towards a democratic state. A very industrialized country which major production includes but is not limited to: high tech goods, fire arms, vehicules mainly tanks and war planes and 4 x 4's, heavy industrial products and cash crops (like tabacco, coca, corn, etc), oil and steel. it boosts a population of about 46,000,000 with an ever increasing number due to internal stability, lack of sever poverty, and general good living conditions and food distribution.Its a nucluer power but only has 3 bombs at the moment most resources in the nucluer program are going towards the creation of a civilian prigram, the nation relatively advanced.

Politics
it is a Federal Republic with a strong central presence and elections are held every 6 years with up to 3 possible re-elections in a row. the nation is devided into 23 departments or provinces along with the military territories of the Galapagos Islands and a few mountainous regions along the peruvian border. the country is a multi party system but power is held mainly by the military backed industrial party who have been in power since the late 1940"s and their recent Coliation government with the workers party, which considered centrist progressive and liberal but with strong interventionist tendencies at a economic level. it is one of the few latin american nations that doesnt allow the catholic church to have a say in the countries running.

Culture
A nation that is drawn strongly by its though "latin values" and since its formation Pan Granadan beliefs in the recreation of old republic from the XlX century, the catholic church has a strong hold on society like in all latin nations but the church has no say in the countries running but it does have a strong hold on the society and it's advocated values are taking to heart. Society is also influenced greatly by old native beliefs and the earth is considered sacred and is loved, family first is considered the greatest of all principles at an individual level. the military has a strong presence in society but it is seen as a good thing and the military upholds the nation's democratic tendencies in ompariso to neighboring brazil. most foods are from the traditional colonial era and some native recipes.

Military
the armed forces of Colombia are devided into 4 main branches: The Army, The Navy ,The Air force, and the Independent armed forces (independent forces)

the army takes up between 5% to 8% of the nations expendetures, and the army is well trained and well armed with the latest arms and armor. the air force while independent of the army is coordinated along with them very closely and the navy recieves the least attention of all the national armed agencies but is still respectable and looked after.

(will go into equipment and weapons later)

currently N.G. is involved in a 5 year long intervention in brazil that doesnt seem to be close to finishing do to the simple size of brazil and the slow approach Nueva Granada is taking to keep supplies in check, feed population under their control, prop up puppet regimes so not to annex the areas and secure the support of the populace and deal with insurgencies if the pop up. tons of funding and resources is going into this operation but the results and gains being made are considered well worth the efforts.
