South Andes (republic)

South Andes /saʊθ ˈændiːz/, also known as the Republic of South Andes was a sovereign country located in South America situated between the Southern Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. 
== Etymology ==
South Andes was named after its geographical situation. Meaning that the republic is located in the southern portions of the Andes Mountain Range, the longest mountain range not just in South America, but in the world.
== Main History ==
=== Unification of Argentina and Chile (2020) ===
In the year 2020, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is expanding its proliferation in the world as getting ready for the possible threat of the two eastern superpowers China and Russia. They expanded their influence on Argentina but not in Chile. 
On the same year, the BRICS nations assembledthemselves and Brazil attacked Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Guyana, Suriname and France via French Guiana. As Brazil invades, Venezuela and Cuba, who has the feeling that Brazil will invade them, joined the BRICS alliance. Brazil has successfully invaded and annexed all its targets, bringing tensions between Argentina and Brazil. Chile brought support. 
In the year 2023, NATO made its Eighth Expansion in the Americas as a counter against the countries of Brazil, Venezuela and Cuba. 
On July 23, under the order of the United States of America and NATO, the countries of Chile and Argentina united into one presidential republic, the Republic of South Andes, which will serve as a counter against the strong and powerful Brazil. 
=== Assault on Brazil (2033-2040) ===
Things have been peaceful in the Americas from 2025 to 2033 until the country called America to make another move. The United States chatted to the Philippines instead, making South Andes a bit disappointed until America declared its plan to invade the country's neighbor, Brazil. South Andes, along with the United States, Peru, the West Indies, Colombia and Mexico declared war on Brazil.
The first years of the Assault is not going very well, as Brazil took the country's capital, Buenos Aires. However, in the good side of the war, Cuba surrendered to the West Indies and the United States, making their step to Venezuela and Brazil.
As the American forces arrive, the Brazilian and the Venezuelan forces were being pulled back. The other NATO countries cut the communications of South America from the rest of the BRICS. When South Andes captured Montevideo, Brazil decided to contact the Chinese government, but the communication were unavailable, forcing Brazil and Venezuela to surrender.
The Treaty of Montevideo made South Andes gain a big chunk of land from Brazil. Making the country on its greatest extent.
=== The Movements Across South Andes (2067-2072) ===
On 2056, Brazil switched sides and joined NATO. Making South America BRICS-free until 2067, where Socialist Revolutions and Movements rose in the country. It was followed by the Brazilian Nationalist Movement, that wants to join the Brazilian government again. Then, followed by the Bolivian Nationalist Movement, who wants independence from the country.
On 2070, the island of Tierra del Fuego was cut down from the rest of the republic due to the advance of the Socialists, making the island declare its independence. On 16 November 2071, the Northeastern Provinces of the country surrendered to the Brazilian Nationalist Movement, followed by the abdication of the Northernmost Provinces to the Bolivian Nationalist Movement on 30 January 2072, making the country surrender to the socialist on 6 March 2072.
=== Dissolution of the Republic (2072) ===
According to the treaty of Valparaiso:
* South Andes will cede its northeastern provinces to Brazil.
* Bolivia will gain independence by taking South Andes' northernmost provinces.
* The island of Tierra del Fuego will gain independence. South Andes will also cede Easter Island and the South Andesian territory in Antarctica to Tierra del Fuego.
* A new government system will be installed to the remaining lands of the country which will be led by the Socialist Movent.
The new government system renamed the country to the Socialist Republic of South Andes.
== Elements ==
=== Flag ===
The flag can be described as two rectangles, one being light blue and one being medium blue, under a white stripe, and further down, a big red plain field, with two stars with each side of the two rectangles. 
==== Two Blue Rectangles ====
The two shades of rectangles have four (or five) different meanings.
1. The fact that South Andes is surrounded with two oceans, the blue is the Pacific Ocean, and the light blue is the Atlantic Ocean.
2. The light blue may represent the sky, representing the fact that South Andes has high altitudes and the blue can represent the sea, representing the fact that South Andes is surrounded by water on it's east and west side.
3. It can also represent both Chile and Argentina, the two nations who established the republic. The blue shade is comparable to Chile's blue part of its flag, same with Argentina's light blue part of its flag, which is comparable to the light blue shade.
4. The blue shades represent Communication, Peace, Calmness, Honesty, Authority, Religion, Wisdom, Conservation, Predictability, Orderliness and Rigidness of people. 
5. Some say that it is comparable to the Yin and Yang because it has the lighter and darker shade, stating the fact that the South Andean people have good and bad attitudes.
The government states that the third reason is the major reason of the two different shades.
Plus, the fact that the rectangles are even, states equality between each and every South Andean citizen. Some even say it's about equality between men and women, between Christians and other religion, between the rich and the poor, between the natives and immigrants and between the LGBT and the society.
==== White Stripe ====
The white stripe has five different meanings:
1. The fact that the blue can represent the sky and sea, the white represents the snowy land, or the mountains of the area.
2. It can mean the Andes mountains under South Andes, which is snowmy compared on those mountains in Peru and Colombia, which is grassy or sandy.
 
3. Since Chile and Argentina have representations on the flag, Antarctica may be the white field on the flag. However, this is a bit controversial to the fact that people actually dislike the fact because Antarctica is just in a territorial/colonial status under South Andes and should be gone or make it smaller on the flag.
4. It could also mean the clouds and the snow during winter.
5. It could also mean the cities, because of the two white stars.
The government states that the first reason is the major reason of the white stripe being present in the flag.
Since it also divides the blue and the red fields, it can mean the wall between peace and war. Religiously, it can mean the land, which divides heaven and hell. It can also mean the wall between men and women, but a bit controversial because of the ratio of the blue field to the red field and some say that it could mean the LGBT. The government states it can also mean neutrality because of its position in the flag being between the blue and the red. It can also mean the wall between the good and the bad. It can also mean the wall between the Capitalists and the Communists.
==== Red Field ====
The red field has two meanings.
1. The blood of those who fought for the independence of Chile and Argentina back then.
2. The shade of the flag of Spain, stating influence from Spain.
3. Red also means the Energy, Action, Desire, Passion of the people. 
The first reason is the major reason.
When the revolutionary war came, bad rumors came that the fact that the Red field is bigger than the blue is the fact that since back then, the Communists/Socialists have controlled the nation, and they're hiding under the Capitalist government, which is the blue and the white parts of the flag.
==== White Stars ====
The white stars has three meanings:
1. Buenos Aires and Santiago, the South Andes' major cities. That's why the white stripes can be the other cities.
2. The government in the light blue field, and the people in the blue field. The light blue field can be the sky, means the government is higher.
3. Community and political peace.
