**Central America** Officially the **Central American Federation** is a relatively new country in Central America of course. Central America is a Federal Represental Republic with a government structure similar but not exactly like the old United States of America, it is comprised of 5 major states. Central America despite the tension between Guatemela and Nicaragua was formed peacfully and thus it has not participated in any wars. Central America was formed on May 17th 1938 after the success of the Belize City Conference in former British Honduras. Central America did not participate in the Second Weltkrieg however it, like most of central america, became a place for former Syndicalist leaders to flee too. Central America is a member of Mexico's Alliance, and thus it aligns with the Entente on the wider global stage.

## History

In 1936 Central America was simply a concept in the minds of the Nicaraguan and the Guatemalan governments as both wished to establish a central america underneath their own ideals. After Black monday the nations of central america where hit with a wave of instability. Guatemala would end up undergoing a short lived Civil War in witch the Partido del Progreso Nacional would win and soon democracy would be restored with the establishment of a mostly conservative government. Honduras meanwhile would undergo a syndicalist revolution becoming allies with Nicaragua. El Salvador would also undergo a civil war and the Market liberals would win causing them and Guatemala to become allies. It seemed that Central America was heading towards a massive conflict with Nicaragua and Honduras on one side and Guatemala and El Salvador on the other. But then as an effort to try and at least secure some sort of peace a conference was held in former British Honduras in Belize city. And it was here that an amazing deal was struck. Silverio Ortiz was a popular leader of the labor party within Guatemala and he would flesh out a compromise deal with the Syndicalists and soon was able to take it a step further by negotiating a peaceful unification of Central America. This deal was ratified by all of the participating governments and a few months later on May 17th 1938 Central America officially came into existence. This shocked latin america and it proved that co-operation was possible with the Syndicalists leading to shock of Liberalism across latin america. In 1940 the start of the second Weltkrieg would see disruption of trade all across Latin America but it would not effect Central America directly. Central America would end up being split on who to support as the conservative wing supported the Reichspakt and Entente while the left supported the Internationale. Then Ortiz would come up with another amazing solution to support both getting money from both. This would enrich Central America along with the strengthening of the banana trade with the rest of the world. This would all culminate in Ortiz successfully running and winning the presidency in the election of 1944. One of his first actions was to participate in the negotiating of an alliance with Cuba and Mexico causing the creation of the Caribbean alliance. Central America now serves as a shining light of compromise and democracy across latin america and is a major success story. And should its path continue Central America may become a developed country and move out of being developing.

## Military

Central America has a small mostly inconsequential military that has not had to fight in any wars recently. Despite this Central America maintains a good sized army, mostly for the purposes of stability keeping operations, especially in Haiti. Central America also maintains a good enough navy to conduct these operations. Central America has a burgeoning air force but will require some time to build it up.
