The Confederation of the Andine People (Spanish: Confederación de Los Pueblos Andinos), shortly, the Andine Confederation is a republic localized in the Andean Mountains. It is bordered to the north by Granada, to the east by Brazil, to the south by Argentina and Chile, and to the west by the Pacific Ocean. The Andine Confederation is considered a megadiverse country, due to the diversification of habitats, such as the Pacific coastal region, the Atacama desert, the Andes mountains, and the Amazon rainforest.

Inside the confederation, there are the four major constituent republics of Bolivia, Contisuyo, Peru and Santa Cruz. The Confederation was unified under Bolivian President Andrés de Santa Cruz, who was declared the Supreme Protector of the Confederation, and who firmed the union after winning the War of the Confederation. The federal capital is Arequipa, where the President and the Congress resides. Lima is the largest city and capital of Peru, while La Paz is the capital of Bolivia, Cuzco is the capital of the Contisuyo, and Santa Cruz de la Sierra is the capital of Santa Cruz.

The 19th century is generally regarded as the century of wars for the Andine Confederation, mostly due to border conflicts. In the 1850s, the Andine Confederation engaged in a war against Granada over the Maynas region. Throughout the 1870s, the country formed a coalition with the United Kingdom against Chile and Argentina during the War of the Deserts, ensuring the Andine influence in the region of Arica and Tarapacá. At the turn of the century, the Andine Confederation and Brazil engaged in a war for the current Brazilian state of Acre territory.

Until the 20th century, the Andine Confederation was considered an authoritarian state in South America. The office of Supreme Protector existed until the 1950s when sparkled the movements called Social revolutions in the country calling for social and political reforms. The revolutions ultimately ended with the Fall of Arequipa, with the overthrow of the Supreme Protector Manuel Odría. A new constitution was drafted, abolishing the office of Supreme Protector and replacing it with the office of President as the head of state of the Confederation (limited to a term of six years), while the people elected the Council, formed by a Minister from each republic, along with the Congress.
