Gran Colombia

La Bandera Nacional

**La Republica Nacional de la Gran Colombia**, often known as **Gran Colombia** or **Colombia**, is a nation in South America. It is bordered by **Mexico** to the Northwest, **Peru** and **Brazil** to the South, and **British Guyana** on the North Coast. Aside from territorial claims that span across much of Central America and Northern South America, Colombia also claims disputed "Sacred Domains" with Peru (**Altos Andes**), Brazil (**Amazonas**), and Mexico (**Maya-Yucatan**).

Gran Colombia is a **totalitarian** **Ariocriollo** **dictatorship**. It is infamous for being one of, if not the most militaristic, totalitarian, and brutal countries on Earth, with it’s hawkishness and zeal for atrocity a cruel bedtime fable for bad children the world over. The capitol of Bogota is regarded also as one of the most restrictive and dangerous cities on the planet. Isolated from the rest of the world due to its barbarity, most countries have so far proven unwilling to establish foreign relations with Colombia.

## Background

### Colombia before WW2

Prior to **World War 2**, Colombia was a fairly stable democracy in South America, enjoying good relations with its neighbors, free trade with most of the world, and a strong political duopoly. The **Liberal** and **Conservative** parties of the country likewise held a balance of power all throughout the era, maintaining the Presidency for roughly equal amounts of time.

### Colombia during WW2, 1943 "Camisa Azul" Coup

Throughout World War 2, Colombia, although maintaining a course of neutrality throughout the first few years, faced significant pressure from both internal and external sources to choose a side in the war. Of particular note were several Axis-sympathizing **German-Colombians**, like **Adolf Held, Klaus William Lehder,** and **Heriberto Schwartau**, as well as pro-Fascist citizens and organizations in Colombia, like **Jose Camacho Carreno, Gilberto Alzate Avendano, Luis Lopez de Mesa Gomez,** and **Leon Maria Lozano**, who all wished for Colombia to join the war on the Axis side, or at least maintain a pro-Axis neutrality.

## Politics of Gran Colombia

### Overview

Politics in Colombia is dominated by the **Nationalist Action Party (PAN)**, the country's sole legal party. Executive power, while de jure held by the **Supreme Chancellor**, falls under the de facto authority of the **Jefe of Colombia**, the nation's absolute ruler. Legislative affairs are handled by the **National Congress of Gran Colombia**, although their role is extremely symbolic compared to that of the Jefe. The judiciary, meanwhile, is under the purview of the **National Court**, tasked with implementing Colombia's laws, including the doctrine of Ariocriollismo and its racial caste hierarchy system. Aside from the courts, the judiciary system is also handled through state-sanctioned paramilitary units, most infamously the **Pajaros**, a Catholic fundamentalist militia tasked with handling "immoral" and "degenerate" activities against dissidents. Economic affairs are handled by the **Supreme Economic Council**, an organization made up of friendly oligarchs, businessmen, economists, engineers, and companies (e.g. the **Helda Company**, **SCADTA**), tasked with developing the economy of Gran Colombia through agricultural, industrial, and import-export trade deals.

Racism, eugenics, and anti-Semitism are central ideological pillars of the regime. Per the **Ariocriollo Manifesto** of **Alfonso Uribe Misas**, Criollos (Creoles) of European and/or mestizo (white) ancestry are considered to be the Master Race of not just Colombia, but of all the Americas - on equal footing with the Aryan master race in Europe. Discrimination and persecution of perceived "**Enemy Races**" (e.g. Jews) were highly accelerated and encouraged by the government. Usage of mass tortures and killings, sterilization, and concentration camps against political opponents, Enemy Races, and enemies of the regime have become common and a source for infamy, making Colombia known as the "Slaughterhouse of the South" and the "Black Spot of South America". Likewise, Christian churches and clergy who do not abide by the fundamentalist Catholicism encouraged by the Government and its' religious wing, the **National Catholic Union**, are likewise persecuted and destroyed, whether by government action or through paramilitary units like the Pajaros.
