Piura (1983: Doomsday)

The Republic of Piura (Spanish: Republica de Piura, Chinese: 皮烏拉共和國, commonly referred to as Piura or 皮國 in Chinese) was a short-lived unrecognized puppet state of during the Andean Conflict, from March 1997 to January 2000. Before and after that period, it was part of Peru. With its largely Chinese population, which arrived before Doomsday, it supported Ecuador against the Peru, and the spread of Marxism-Leninism. It had secret ties to the Ecuadorian president Abdalá Bucaram, who was later dismissed from office due to mental incapacity. During its time in existence, the state was mostly unstable, and did not have full control over its claimed area, leading to its eventual annexation by Peru, and the imprisonment of the president Juan Fernando Chia Wong.
