Federation

Federation Spawn Theme 
The Federation, officially the Federation of the Americas (FA) (Spanish: Federacion de las Américas, Portuguese: Federação das Américas), is a sociopolitical, economic, and military union of north, central and south American nations that have risen to power in Call of Duty: Ghosts, where it serves as the game's main antagonist faction. The Federation's capital is Caracas, . While it is unknown who leads the Federation itself after Almagro's death, Gabriel T. Rorke is one of their top agents. The Federation itself is mentioned in the comics of Call of Duty: Mobile, while some of their personnel makes appearances in-game.
==History==
===Rise to Power===
In an early 21st century, the Federation was established in the wake of multiple conflicts in the Middle East that culminated in the Tel Aviv War, which devastated the entire region and the oil supply, triggering a global energy crisis. First World countries around the globe were crippled, like the United States and their allies, as well as Russia, China, and India. With these nations spread thin trying to maintain order, the remaining oil-rich South American nations of Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile united on June 2nd, 2014, to form the Federation of the Americas to monopolize their own resources and consolidate power over their neighbors.
Under the military leadership of the strongly anti-American General Diego Almagro, the Federation spread unchecked throughout the rest of South America. As Almagro intensified his rhetoric while demanding the arrest or execution of every US-born individual living within Federation territory, he drew the wrath of the United States of America. A Ghost-led military operation was mounted in mid-2015 to assassinate Almagro in Caracas, Venezuela. The general's death, however, failed to halt the Federation's aggressive expansion, and animosity between the two superpowers deepened. Also, Gabriel T. Rorke was lost in a flood in Caracas. This later resulted in him being captured by the Federation and brainwashed. Over the next two years, the Federation flourished economically and moved northward, invading and conquering the countries of Central America and the Caribbean.
===War===
In the near future, the US had deployed the Orbital Defense Initiative (ODIN) as its ultimate deterrent against any foreign attack, seemingly securing its safety against further Federation aggression. The Federation countered this weapon on July 10th, 2017, by smuggling a strike team in a routine supply shuttle to ODIN's command station, which then hijacked ODIN and turned the weapon against its makers. While surviving US personnel aboard the command station managed to scuttle it before all of ODIN's projectiles could be fired, the US south and southwest were decimated, most notably Southern California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana. The Federation immediately followed their surprise attack on ODIN with a massive land invasion.
A decade later, the war between the Federation and the US had been fought to a stalemate. The front lines stabilized among the ruins of southwestern US cities. As the US prepared to renew its campaign to expel the invaders, increased Federation activity in the No Man's Land resulted in the city of Dallas falling virtually overnight, thanks to intelligence gathered from captured civilians within the ruins. A large Federation invasion force assaulted Fort Santa Monica days later.
Unbeknownst to the US, these offensives were a prelude to "Operation Homecoming," the Federation's final push to win the war. Over the previous decade, the Federation Science Division had devoted itself to reverse-engineering ODIN from the wreckage and information provided by former Ghost leader Gabriel T. Rorke. The result was the Federation satellite array, code named "LOKI" and "FEDSAT" by the US, a more streamlined version of ODIN designed to fire tungsten rods of varying sizes for precision strikes. Once operational, the array would be used to destroy the remaining US major cities and its military.
Before the array was activated, the Ghosts learned of its existence after witnessing the launch of two rockets from the Yucatan Peninsula and raiding "The Shop," the array's manufacturing facility in Rio de Janeiro. The US marshaled the last of its naval forces to launch an incursion to capture LOKI's primary control center in Chile's Atacama Desert. Despite being heavily defended, the facility was breached and destroyed, allowing a US Air Force squad to attack the array's command station in space and redirect LOKI's fire against Federation ground and naval forces. Despite the Ghosts' failure to kill Rorke and Logan's capture, much of the Federation's forces were destroyed and LOKI was captured, weakening it to the point where they no longer had a military advantage over the US.
== Economy ==
The Federation's rise began with the building of a massive economy. Due to the destructive conflict in the Middle East triggering a massive energy crisis, the Federation offered their massive oil reserves to the global market. Venezuela especially profited from the shortage. Brazil grew from their proficient agricultural capabilities while Chile became a large supplier for mineral resources. Sometime before 2015 the Federation began putting a portion of their revenue into military spending. Fellow nations in South America, the Caribbean, and Central America began joining the Federation in hopes of contributing to the supranational superpower. Other countries that were skeptical of the prospects of the alliance were eventually invaded and subjugated by the Federation's military.
By 2017, the Federation stood on equal economic, political, and military power to the United States. With its own massive oil, mineral, agricultural, and military resources, as well as a vast array of international political connections, the United States managed to stay out of the Federation's influence, despite not being able to destroy the country. The Federation developed large financial, trade, manufacturing and corporate institutions to remain competitive against failing powers. Vast new infrastructure programs revolutionized the continent.
By 2027, the Federation undisputedly had the world's largest economy. The rest of the world remained dependent on the Western Hemisphere's resources and products. Numerous complexes such as the Freeport industrial center, the Atlas oil drilling platform, and the Shop development facility were erected. Beyond capital, the Federation developed a significant technological prowess. Additionally, major cities like Caracas in Venezuela, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and Santiago in Chile completely rebuilt themselves.
One known corporation operating in the Federation is FedOil, which controlled the Atlas platform. Other known corporations include: Sabin Aviacion, Reymundo Interactivo, Hervas-Zamaco, Tiran, AgoC Holding, Hartmann-Zuk, Banco A.Stevenson, Sine Fabricaciones and Carrani Sistemas. Many of these established themselves in Caracas' prominent central business district.
Their economy was eventually hit hard due to the Ghost's action in destroying their largest oil platform and their LOKI space station was captured by the US and used to destroy multiple Federation fleets.
== Culture ==
Being composed of a variety of nations, the Federation has a diverse and vibrant culture. The primary official language is Spanish with Portuguese, French and indigenous languages also present. Traditional Latin American culture defines much of the nation. The Federation is very dedicated to their military as it is a major political force. General Diego Almagro initiated this cultural attribute through dominance of nations that opposed him. The Federation's national holiday is June 15th, the day the Federation repelled the United States from its territory in 2015.
The Federation's Government prides itself on having close relations with their native tribes. This may come out of necessity to get local support for the construction of infrastructure throughout the interior. It could also be a method to make the Federation appear morally superior to the United States which destroyed their indigenous populations. However, this is internationally debated as the Federation also took over other countries in the same way or with even worse methods than the US ever did during its own expansion.
== Foreign relations ==
In spite of being the world's economic, political, technological and military superpower, the Federation had a very hostile and jingoistic approach to global affairs. The UN negotiators sent to the Federation were unceremoniously murdered. The government justified this action by claiming that the United States had directed global affairs in its own destructive interests for too long. After the ODIN strikes, the remaining NATO nations turned against the Federation to support the United States. However, the rest of the world was forced to continue working with the Federation or fight against them.
== Politics ==
The Federation's political structure appears to be a totalitarian dictatorship with elements of ultranationalism and fascism. The Federation shows an utter disregard for human rights, including using its own soldiers as test subjects. It persecutes foreign civilians and has engaged in multiple acts of aggression, as well as the murder of UN peacekeepers. 
It is unclear as to the relationship between the member states and the federation as a whole; the three original states apparently unified voluntarily and Federation's ideology strongly emphasizes South American nationalism, yet the Federation is also described as using its military power to conquer South America, with the United States regarding Argentina as being under occupation, leaving the legitimacy of the Federation's unification ambiguous.
==Federation Military Forces==
The Federation Armed Forces appears to consists of the Federation Army, Federation Navy, Federation Air Force and the Federation Special Forces. 
==Military Equipment and Arsenals==
As the rise of their power grew in the early years of its creation, the Federation's military expanded in terms of weaponry and equipment which made them formidable for the once dominant US military. Their arsenal of weaponry came from weapon manufacturers in Russia, NATO, South Korea, Israel, and even the United States, as well as from two of their member states, Brazil (.44 Magnum) and Peru (SC-2010, FAD). Prior to the ODIN strikes, Federation troops looked like a typical South American military, wearing jungle camouflage patterned BDUs, simple low-bearing gear, and a mixture of Soviet-style combat helmets and ball caps. After the ODIN strikes and during the height of their power, Federation troops look like a well uniformed streamline opponent to the beleaguered US forces wearing combat shirts and combat pants in different camouflage patterns (either in urban, woodland, snow colored, navy, and all-black camouflage) which according to the gear they're wearing is from U-Tech. All Federation soldiers also are equipped with the most state-of-the-art military-grade protective plate carriers and Kevlar helmets (many with ballistic face shields attached to rail adapters on the sides of the helmets). Some Federation soldiers wear red or black berets instead, most likely to signify NCOs and senior leadership.
There’s also different parts of sections of the Federation Army. Different like the regular army wearing gear like the modern US military utilizes, while the Security forces wears the body armor front of their jacket loaded with light equipment. Back at 2015, the Federation soldiers wearing is leftover from the former Venezuelan military in Caracus, with most the equipment brought from Russia such as helmets, and tanks while the others came from Europe. Equipped with South American rifles made by Peru, and Russian submachine guns imported from Russia. While the years goes on, they have new modern technology same like the United States by either buying from foreign countries, locally produced or reversed engineered. The South American Federation Special Forces such as the PMC Elite for example is either or not a company alongside with newer equipment they held which is almost identical to the US Special Forces but are equip the same weapons as the Armed Forces, but have access to the K7 submachine guns for stealth operations. The Federation forces have different camouflage appearances to blend in the environment for different operations. The camouflages are mainly based from the US and Russian patterns, while making their own adjustments of different camouflage they're using for their forces.
