Iberian Wasteland

The Iberian Wasteland is what it once was, the nations of Spain, Portugal, Andorra and the British colony of Gibraltar. Like many other European nations, it was affected by the Resources Wars and later, due to the presence of American military bases in the territory, it was also directly affected by the Great War.
For many years, it was a desolate wasteland, where the remnants of the Spanish, Portuguese and Anglo-Hispanic Gibraltarians, along with the Americans who would become part of the Enclave, struggled to survive and prosper.
But over the centuries, that wasteland would recover, giving rise to all kinds of factions that fought for control of at least part of the Iberian Peninsula, and even beyond.
== Major factions ==
The Iberian wasteland, gave rise to many types of factions, with unique world views, some of the most relevant are : 
* Barcino´s Empire : With its capital in Barcelona, currently known as Barcino. Its empire is one of the most important Spanish and European powers in the post-war world. It is characterized by a return to the values and culture of the Greek-Latin world with the use of high technology. Unlike its counterpart in America, the Caesar's Legion and also it does resemble more closely what once was the Roman Empire on which it is based.
* Second Spanish Empire : With capital in Seville. The Second Spanish Empire, also known as the New Spanish Empire, arose after a group of people rediscovered the Archivo de Indias. where they read all the documents preserved from the time of the First Spanish Empire. Fascinated by their discovery, they quickly took the vanished empire as a model, and declaring themselves its direct heirs, chosen by God, they began to build it up again, step by step. Until, over the centuries, they became the powerhouse they are today. Its major breakthrough came after its conflict with one of the bases of the Iberian Enclave, which was more precisely located in Rota, Cádiz. After a long conflict, took control of it, and its technologies. Replicating and using them, they gradually began a rapid expansion, which in just a couple of decades, would turn them into the first European transatlantic power of the post-war period. Being in charge, for example. Of much of the trade, commerce, and immigration of the world after the apocalypse. 
* New Portugal : Formed by nostalgics of the Portuguese monarchy and empire in Lisbon and thought of as a conservative political party for the country. After the fall of civilization, it became a small micronation, which like others, gradually transformed into another power that would compete not only for this region, but to regain Portugal's lost glory of the past. 
* Principality of Andorra and Alt Urgell : One of the few nations that survived the fall of civilization. Eventually, it evolved into an extensive principality, which would occupy a large part of the northern Iberian Peninsula. Initiating after that, a " Reconquista " to unify the entire peninsula under the Andorran flag.
== Minor factions ==
* Tribes
* Raiders
*Iberian Enclave : The remains of the US military forces that were in the bases of Torrejón de Ardoz, Rota and Morón de la Frontera. After the defeat of the Enclave in America on both coasts, they became isolated and began to radicalize, trying to begin a conquest of Europe and Asia in the name of the organization. This failed miserably, following their long war with the Second Spanish Empire in the south and later, their conflict with the Iberian Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel in Madrid.
* Free Balearic Islands : The largest nation of raiders in the Mediterranean. A headache for the Barcino´s Empire, the Second Spanish Empire and other regional powers, like New Atlantis in north Africa with the capacity to dominate the radioactive Mediterranean.
* Brotherhood of Steel ( Iberian Chapter ) : Recently arrived from America in search of technology and knowledge, they only have a small area of influence outside Torrejón de Ardoz and have made pacts and treaties with the different governments to avoid conflicts and fulfill their mission. Respected, hated and feared are taken into account, solely because of their technological capabilities and the fear of a full-scale invasion by the entire Brotherhood from America.
* The Liberators of Aragon : Anarchist organization, who only want no one to take control of Aragon. They usually have more conflicts with the Barcino´s Empire, but guerrilla warfare and attacks by fake raiders orchestrated by them from time to time, keep the situation in a stalemate.
*Valumar : A small principality, which at the beginning, was a micronation without any power, like the New Republic of Dave in America. But after the fall of civilization and the peaceful integration of various tribes that inhabited Castilla y León, they gained some territory and power.
*Remnants of the Basque Independence movement : Remnants of the independence movement in this region of Spain. After the fall of civilization, they had declared the emergence of the Basque Country as a nation, but only controlled a few settlements. After their war with Principality of Andorra and Alt Urgell were forced to escape inland to avoid extermination.
*Botonia : A duchy emerged in an almost abandoned village in the middle of Castilla La Mancha. Due to being in a territory with little interest it has not been conquered by any major faction.
*Remnants of the Catalonian Independence movement : The same fate and situation as the Basques, after the emergence of Barcino as a power, were forced to move inland to avoid extermination.
*Cartignia : Small coastal nation, which emerged in what was once Murcia. They are dedicated to trade with the rest of the powers, especially agricultural products, taking advantage of the famous "Huerta murciana" but post - apocalyptic version. Probably the only democracy on the peninsula and the closest to what was Spain after the transition to democracy in the Old World.
*Remnants of the Galician Independence movement : The most minority of the pro-independence groups, but the luckiest. They were expelled by the tribals of the area, to the interior of Portugal. Dominating quite effectively some areas of the north of what was that country.
