## Information

The Cape Horn Federation (formerly the South Argentine Republic) is a totalitarian federation of the territories of Tierra Del Fuego, Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, the South Orkney Islands, and the South Shetland Islands. The country has suffered from underdevelopment and mismanagement in it's past, with the country falling behind in economic growth and development. The countries capital city is Punta Tierras.

## History

The country was founded after revolutionaries from the Republic of Santa Cruz declared independence as the Republic of the Cape Horn, and started a war to push them out of Tierra Del Fuego. More about the countries history prior to The War that Never Happened is explained under the Republic of the Cape Horn wiki page. After The War that Never Happened, the country established a democratic government and officially remaned itself to the Cape Horn Federation.

From there, the country began focusing on developing Punto Tierras, and they started by renaming the city to Punta Tierras to highlight the fact that the city is at the very end of Cape Horn. After this influx of development, the country halted all projects as they began sending workers abroad to assist with infrastructure developments. This soon led to Cape Horn becoming vastly underdeveloped, and they began to fall behind the rest of the world.

As a result of this, protests started as a result of continued government failure. The increasing strain of protests and uprisings cuopled with the killing of the President resulted in a power vaccuum, and a coup d'etat. The coup was successful, and a totalitarian regime was put in place of the former government. So far, infrastructure development is top of the Cape Horn Government's agenda. They implemented the Mass Development Plan, with focuses on better air, road and rail connections and growing the economy.

## Transport

Transportation in the Cape Horn Federation is managed by the Department of Transport. Getting around Cape Horn is primarily performed via road, as the country has a sizeable road network, of which 100% of it is paved. Due to the countries very finite lava reserves, petrol engined vehicles (which run on Lava) are very uncommon, as the average cost at a pump is UN$67.50/bucket. Instead, the country uses primarily diesel powered engines (which run on cool oil) as the average cost at the pumps is just UN$12.50/bucket, due to the countries large oil reserves. This reliance on diesel powered vehicles is somewhat of a hindrance on the country, as diesel powered vehicles tend to produce more toxic emissions to humans, and older diesels produce a large amount of smoke, which can harm the air quality in the country. See more about the road network here.

Cape Horn's rail network is still in early stages of development, and is currently quite small, only running from Punta Tierras Central to San Pablo
