Argentinian Colonies on the Moon

== Tierra de Abaangui (2036-2309): ==
Tierra de Abaangui is a fairly large colony established by Argentina and part of the "ring of dictators"; a region that contains a disproportionate amount of dictatorship when compared to the rest of Luna. It has a stable industry and its main trading partner is the "Turkish" state of Xīn Shìyě.
In its early history, the governorship established was rather quickly overthrown by Diego Leiva and his workers' army. On September 9th, 2201, two workers' militias from the mining towns of Nova Rosario and Oliva rebelled and declared a revolution against the state. After years of strikes, riots, and guerilla warfare, those down-trodden by society rose against their oppressors. By June of the following year, a third of the nation had fallen to Leiva's commune. The government alongside any remaining loyalists were exiled out of Tierra de Abaangui by the end of the year. 
The new commune was a short-lived experiment, for 5 months, Leiva consolidated power and put into place a policy known as "Nueva Economía", but his policies and reforms would never bear fruit as the governor's army; equipped and strengthend by arms and mercenaries givern to them by a local Chinese wildstate, entered the fledgling commune. The unorganized and poorly armed militias were unable to stand against their better equipped and trained foe. Massive encirclements resulted in equally massive gains, and graves. A mere three days after the army's return (June 12th), the commune fell, with an estimated 170,000 casualties during the conflict.
