Acre (Immune Americas)

Acre, officially the Republic of Acre, is a parliamentary democracy in south america. It is one of the only countries to have Esperanto as its first recognized language. Before colonial times, Acre was inhabited by Nazca and Amazonic people. When europeans first arrived, the lands of Acre were competed over by Portuguese and Spanish colonists. During the American Wars of Independence, Acre was originally incorporated into the Empire of Brazil. Acre developed a very unique culture, a mix of portuguese, spanish, creole, nazca, amazon, and various others. Acre became a large producer of rubber for brazil, which helped the nation win many wars. However, this meant that the native Acreans were treated more or less as slaves. Acre also hosted the largest number of Esperanto speakers in South America due to the setting up of a large club in modern day Blanko Riviero. The Esperantists as they were known shared a similar internationalist thought to the Brazilian socialists and they teamed up to launch a large rebellion against the empire in 1925. The Esperantists established their own state in Acre with the help of Acrean nationalists and socialists that was recognized by the world in 1936. Acre became more profitable as it began making use of its rubber supplies. It also attracted esperantists from all over the world, leading to a very diverse populace. Acre, Altenberg, and Catalonia, are the only countries with Esperanto as an official language, although Catalonia doesn't have it as the major language, only a recognized one.
