Republic of Peru

The Republic of Peru, or simply known as Peru, is a country located in South America. It has borders with the Republic of Ecuador and the Republic of Colombia in the North, with the United States of Brazil in the east, with the Pacific Ocean in the west and with the Republic of Chile and the Republic of Bolivia in the south. Peru is a liberal democratic republic, with a system of regional governments, with a total of 24 or 25 different departments. Its head of state and government is the president, elected for a five-year term without the possibility of immediate re-election. The president in 1962 is Manuel Prado Ugarteche, a member of the Peruvian Democratic Movement, who is in the last year of his mandate.

National Focus

The Republic of Peru does not have a focus tree as of version 1.6.0a.

National Spirit

The False Dream Daily Political Power Gain: -0.25 Stability: -10.00% War Support: -5.00% On the surface, Peru appears to have a strong and healthy democracy. Of course, the truth's far more complex once you dig deeper. Democracy was restored in 1939 with the election of President Prado, only to face its hardest challenge with the Battle for Lima. Peruvian democracy triumphed, and the people believed it was finally strong enough... but rumors of electoral fraud in the 1950s under the Odría government hurt its image again, with accusations of a guiding hand always manipulating the voting polls. Can Peru achieve the long lasting dream of democracy, or will history repeat itself again? We must be careful attending this issue. If we fail, the dream dies, and the people's faith in democracy with it. But if we succeed, democracy will be finally realized.

The Silent Liberation Political Power Gain: -25% Recruitable Population Factor: -5.00% After the Battle for Lima, the pro-APRA northern regions continued to rebel against the Bustamante and Odría governments, until one day they stopped... and there was only silence. Our soldiers report no firefights, our policemen confidently tell us that everything is under control, and the citizens continue as if nothing happened. But to Lima, this silence is a bad omen. We need to keep the north in check, because we know that the Aprists are still there, hiding...

Two Superpowers, One Economy Stability: -5.00% Annual GDP Growth Factor: +5.00% Needed Consumer Goods: +5.00% Since the signing of the Akagi Accords and Prado opening up the economy to Japanese investment, there has been an economic investment war between America and Japan in Peru. Peru, in many political theorists' eyes, can be Japan's entry point into South America; accordingly, both nations have been heavily investing in Peru to achieve their objectives. Investment from both the Rising Sun and the American Eagle was courted by various Presidents of Peru throughout the 50s, with President Odría attracting millions of yen of investment into Peru from Japan. American investment remains strong however as they are unwilling to let a single nation drift into Japan's sphere without a fight. There are frequent American-Japanese economic clashes, especially in the Northwestern Industrial and Oil Refinery zones in Talara. If Peru can continue courting investment from both superpowers, they can expect riches to flow into the country. However with riches comes problems: inequality has risen with rich Japanese and American families taking large swaths of wealth from this investment and becoming as rich as Peru's upper class. While Peru is benefiting economically, there is a backlash amidst the working class of Peru which, if not dealt with effectively, could result in a return of violence in Peru.

A Diverse Country with Diverse Problems Stability: -15.00% War Support: -10.00% Once the heart of the Incan Empire, our beautiful country is filled with different cultures and traditions, from our mestizos, to the foreign migrants, to the natives. But with just as many peoples comes just as many problems. The last governments and those before them have neglected agrarian reform, integration of the jungle, development of the Andean regions, and many more. Even the people protesting over all of these issues couldn't sway them to do something. We won't repeat their mistakes! Sooner or later, we'll address these problems once and for all. And if we succeed, we will earn the people's lasting trust.
