Canto Haven

**Canto Haven**, formally known as the **République de Canto**, is a corporate single party state situated on the coast of Lake Victoria and is managed by the Security Coalition private security corporation as a puppet state for tax haven and money laundering purposes, governed by Security Coalition CEO Vanessa de Rouge, who acts as governor of the state. Canto Haven is a completely enclaved state surrounded by Ducist; Canto Haven also lies within the Nile basin and has a varied but generally a modified equatorial climate. It has a population of over 42 million, of which 8.5 million live in the capital and largest city of Kampala.

Established following the bankruptcy and collapse of the Ugandan state in 2028 following the 2027 Global Banking Crisis, Canto Haven was created as a private corporate state akin to the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen and was officially created on September 16, 2028, adopting the flag and logo of the Security Coalition and opening the boarders of the nation up to the rich and wealthy of the world as a tax haven and millionaire's paradise, investing billions into rebuilding the collapsing infrastructure of the nation to become one of the richest countries on Earth by the 2030s.

Backed and bankrolled by the Libirachi Empire and it's Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, Canto Haven quickly became a refuge for deposed leaders and those with dictatorial intent, with the likes of Loxenian Generalissimo Jax Esposita making regular stays in Canto Haven, leading to an international incident when Esposita was arrested by members of the Security Coalition and handed over to the Libirachi Imperial Security Bureau.

Operating as an one party state, Canto Haven is governed by the Security Coalition Politburo, a sitting council of former Ugandan civil servants, Security Coalition directors, lawyers and political scientists and is chaired by Security Coalition CEO Vanessa de Rouge. Controlling every aspect of government in Canto Haven, the Politburo makes efficiency and revenue the two highest operational priorities of the nation, allowing them to focus on deregulating vast parts of the corporate industries to promote as much business involvement in the nation.

As a financial centre for central Africa, Canto Haven is treated as if it were a product of Security Coalition, with the business strategy for the corporation revolving around using taxpayer and government funds from Canto Haven to fund lucrative security and protection contracts for the nation; by offering all citizens of the country the chance to buy shares and stocks in Security Coalition for reduced prices, Governor de Rouge and the company succeeded in motivating much of the population into a form of corporate patriotism, with the prosperity of SC being in the best interests of all thanks to frequent and high yield dividend payments which have been used to massively increase the quality of life for many across the nation.

As a result of the ensuing prosperity, SC has become a vital part of the daily operations of the nation, with the vast private army wing of the corporation by law being the only standing army allowed to exist in the nation; despite not having large levels of manpower following the 2028 Ugandan Coup d'état, Security Coalition's expansion model is based upon training up members of the local population to join their army ranks and the expedition in Canto Haven provided no different, enlisting members of the former Ugandan armed forces to join the armed wing of Security Coalition.

## History

Following a challenging decade of international war, civil unrest and protest in the landlocked African nation of Uganda, the 2027 Global Banking Crisis forced the government to lay off almost the entirety of it's security forces and resort to contracting their security needs, employing the services of the Dunsteenian private security corporation Security Coalition to take over both policing and army roles to maintain order within the troubled nation, granting Security Coalition vast amounts of power within the country, manning every government office and their security.

As the Great Crash continued to impact the economic prospects of the nation's government, Security Coalition launched the 2028 Ugandan Coup d'état and overthrew the government of President Yoweri\_Museveni with ease following the bankruptcy of the central banks on September 15, 2028, placing Security Coalition CEO Vanessa de Rouge as the Governor of the newly established state of Canto Haven, replacing the nearly century old nation of Uganda. Privatising all of the nation's state owned industries, such as the mining, broadband and airlines, Governor de Rouge brought in much needed money to the state coffers and through relaxations in competition and wealth laws in the months that followed, the nation soon became home to cores of plutocrats, the elite and exiles, all ensnared by the promise of freedoms, luxury and security to make their home in the coast of Lake Victoria. Re-investing back into the nation's failing infrastructure projects, de Rouge secured Libirachi loans from the government of Damien Salamander and later Karyn Voor, both of whom being keen to keep a foothold in the African continent; with these loans and grants, the internal operations of Canto Haven received a full makeover and using both Libirachi and investor money to rebuild, de Rouge had completed an overhaul of the coastal cities by 2032 and transformed the nation into an oasis for the worlds richest and most powerful players, using high stakes casinos to bring in much needed funds for the upkeep of the cities and the private army which Security Coalition had trained up and employed from the population of the former nation of Uganda.
