The Republic of Peru

The Republic of Peru is a nation in western South America, once home to the great Inca Empire before it was conquered by Spain. Blessed with an abundance of natural resources, in particular Gold and Silver, the Viceroyalty of Peru was the Spanish Empire’s principal source of wealth and power for its nearly 300 year existence. After independence from Spain was achieved in 1821 Peru was ruled by a series of Caudillos culminating in the disastrous rule of General Manuel Ignacio de Vivanco. The 2nd War of the Pacific in 1837 saw the invasion of Peru and annexation of its southern provinces by Chile. This loss was blamed on the instability of Peru’s revolving presidency amongst its officer corps. With Manuel Ignacio de Vivanco in exile Field Marshall Ramón Castilla seized power and declared himself the President for Life and Supreme Leader of the Peruvian people and he remains so to this day.

President Ramón Castilla y Marquesado

Born on the 31st August 1797 in Tarapacá (Viceroyalty of Peru) the President rose to prominence fighting alongside Simón Bolívar in Peru’s war of independence from Spain. After they won our independence he served as Minister of War and Minister of Finance under the different Presidencies until the 2nd War of the Pacific. The unprovoked Chilean attack shocked the nation but President Vivanco assured us of victory. However the Peruvian Army was destroyed in the battles of Iquique and Arica, the coward Vivanco fled to Bolivia and resistance against Chile collapsed. We were forced to sign and humiliating peace. Peru was rudderless, adrift and surrounded by sharks. Many in Lima questioned whether Peru would even continue to exist as a nation. But one man knew we must survive, we must thrive and we mustn’t allow those who sacrificed their lives for our independence to have done so in vain. That man was of course our Supreme Leader, President Ramón Castilla y Marquesado

President Castilla rule over the past 25 years has been widely celebrated for uniting the Peruvian people together as a nation for the first time and bringing an unprecedented era of stability and progress. The three pillars to his success have been God, Peace and Prosperity:

Being a devout, God-fearing Roman Catholic, our President has always put the interests of the Church first. For with the Lord protecting us we have little to fear from those that seek to do us harm. To this end he has generously donated a substantial portion of the State’s budget to help with the running cost of the Church. He has also run a nationwide campaign to encourage our young men to join the clergy. 3.4% of Peruvians are now out there every day doing God’s work, as opposed to a measly 1% when he took power. This has allowed our holy men to go out into the community and not only spread the word of God but to teach basic literacy skills so that everyone in Peru will be able to read the bible themselves. Literacy is now at 22%, more than double what it was. If the current trend continues we could see 100% literacy in Peru before the end of the century.

As a military man and veteran of several glorious wars our President is not adverse to conflict. But he has seen firsthand what military defeat has done to our nation in the past and we must be fully prepared for any conflict in future. He has spent time building up and modernising his military so as to be the most powerful in South America. He has been adamant that the 2nd War of the Pacific must never be repeated. To allow us time to achieved this he has negotiated a trade and protection agreement with the United States of America and their friendship has been his number one foreign policy objective.

The President has pushed for Peru to develop its own manufacturing industries and this has begun under his rule. Thus far profits have been good and they are expected to expand at an increasingly rapid rate. The trade agreement with the United States helps as it allows Peru access to Americas common market ensuring there has always been a customer for our produce. Also without tariffs the Peruvian people have always been ensured a wide selection of consumer goods at prices they can afford ensuring a greatly increased standard of living. Nowhere is this clearer than our capital Lima which is now internationally recognised, by The French Association for Research & Prosperity, as the wealthiest city in South America.

All Peruvians must pay thanks to the Supreme Leader of the Peruvian people, President Ramón Castilla y Marquesado and long may his rule continue.

Boletin Oficial de la Junta de Gobierno

We bring grave news from the Peruvian capital Lima. There have been rumours for weeks but until now they have only been met with denials by the Presidential Palace. Today however Peru changed forever. The day we have all been dreading is soon to be upon us. The Palace today has for the first time officially announced that our Great Leader, President Castilla has been taken ill.

At 66 years old we must have all known that this day was coming, for despite his greatness, President Castilla is but a man and as all men must leave this world, so our President must leave us. The best doctors in Peru are at his bedside as I write this but we hear that the President will be lucky to make his next birthday.

As he has told us many times, he is not Peru but it is all the people of our land that make our country what it is. So when the time comes, Peru must go on without our President. But the question remains. Who will be the next President of Peru?

Peruvian society has always recognized the great work of the President but it still remains deeply divided and without the unifying factor of beloved President Castilla these divisions could lead to an end to the stability we have enjoyed for so long. Unlike 25 years ago, Peru is a very different place now. The rapidly increasing literacy has led to new ideas from Europe to spread throughout Peru and unlike previously changing from one military leader to another some people actually think you can have a President who is not in the military at all. We’ve looked at the various groups vying for power and here is a report.

Prime Minister Juan Antonio Pezet

The 54 year old has been the Presidents Prime Minister for the past 9 years. An army officer, he saw action in our attempted defense against Chile and helped President Castilla attain power. His rise through the levels of government led to him being appointed Prime Minister 9 years ago. This positions main role is in having control over the State’s Finances and economic development. The fact that he is also owner of the Lima Clothing Corporation, the nation’s only manufacturing industry, has seen him heavily prioritise industry at the expense of other sectors of the economy. His cautious foreign policy has also caused grumbling amongst many in Peru as we have seen an increasingly aggressive Chile and little action to counter the threat. He is seen as a continuation of President Castilla’s policies.

Foreign Minister Mariano Ignacio Prado Ochoa

The 37 year old field officer has seen a meteoric rise in his career in recent times. The Chilean invasion of yet another country in the 3rd War of the Pacific caused great concern amongst the Peruvian people, especially Colonel Prado. After seeing complete inaction from the government he took it on himself to ride to Bogota and negotiate personally to allow passage of the Columbian Army through Peru so as to aide our Bolivian brothers. Upon his return to Lima he had won the affection of the nation, especially when they managed to turn back the Chilean attack and occupy large sections of their country. He was so impressed he appointed Colonel Prado to be Peru’s new Foreign Minister, a position he has held for 3 years now. He sees Peru as the rightful heirs to the Inca Empire and as such should unite the lands they held before the Spanish arrived and he is more than willing to use military force to achieve his aims. He dreams of a Peruvian Empire and not just in South America and his desire for a strong Peru has won him the hearts and minds of the soldiers. He is a political opportunist and is willing to ally with whomever as long as he gets his Empire.

The Peruvian Miners’ Federation

The trade union was setup in 1860 by a small number of Gold miners in Lima. They realized that whilst the mines were making them very wealthy, the 16 hour working days meant they had little time to enjoy their hard work. Despite trade unions being officially illegal word spread and soon nearly all the Gold miners in Lima had joined. However their petition to Prime Minister Pezet fell on deaf ears, rumour has it he feared a working hours law would reduce the profitability of his clothes factory. Their high literacy and abundance of luxury goods from America has resulted in the majority of miners following Liberal political ideas; however the new idea of Socialism is spreading very quickly. The longer their demands are ignored the more militant their members become and with 70000 of them they have both the money and wealth to force their demands on Peru.

Lima Artisans Guild

There has been a move by their 10000 members to call for the state to take over the running of schools. They are thought to favour a broader education for children involving the pursuit of scientific advance rather than simply religious studies provided by the Church. It is thought that as long as Peru keeps it’s free trade agreement with the United States that will be enough pacify them for the time being. However should action be necessary they are thought to favour liberal policies.

So who will be Peru’s next President? Only time will tell but change is coming and the longer the wait the more radical the change could be.

The days of Peruvian inaction are over. With my appointment as Foreign Minister by President Castilla Peru’s foreign policy is going to change. With that in mind we announce the following new policies:

- We demand an end to Chilean Imperialism and an end to all those who would support such barbarity.

- We claim all the lands of the former Inca Empire – in addition to current Peruvian lands that is additional land from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador.

The telegrams filled with lies that have for quite some time now been littering the foreign offices of European powers contain some of the most outrageous of accusations against the Republic of Chile. Peru claims that the Fourth War of the Pacific was an unjust one, and that Chile should be ashamed of it. Perhaps Peru forgot how they blatantly called for the annexation of Chile to Peru over a decade ago. Perhaps Peru also forgot how it called for the annexation of territory from another four South American nations to the abomination that is the "Kingdom" of Peru; a mere fiefdom with dellusions of Incan glory born out of the ruins of a failed military dictatorship.

And because Peru seems to also have delusions of superiority, apart from those of glory, let us remind Peru that while they claim to have been a defenceless nation attacked by Chile, Peru had no qualms attacking Bolivia for the region of La Paz, even though Bolivia's army had been obliterated by Chile a few years prior, and even though Chile's war against Bolivia was still ongoing. Peru feels it is unfair that it lost a war to Chile, yet Peru feels it is justifiable to attack Bolivia when its total manpower -fully mobilised!- is 0 brigades. Perhaps Peru ought to re-examine its double standards.

On the matter of your defeat in the Fourth War of the Pacific, you have no one to blame but yourselves. While "President" Castilla was busy assuring Peruvians that Chile will sooner of later be annexed to the Viceroyalty of Peru, from which Chile broke off during our War of Independence, your nation should have put more effort in its training of your army. If Peru does not care for a standing army, you cannot blame Chile for defeating an unorganised horde of conscripts.

If Peru feels the need to find a culprit for the miserable international position in which it has found itself lately, you need only look into a mirror. The years of mismanagement by "Presidents" and -recently- "Kings" have been the undoing of your nation. You care not for international relations with other nations, yet at the same time you whine about Chile's rightful conquest of internationallly-recognised Chilean core territories to Chile's allies.

Tread very carefully, for even though Chile does not wish for more conflict between Chile and Peru, we will do everything in our power to put Peru in its rightful place if our territorial integrity is jeopardised by a Peruvian invasion. If you think you can toy with Chile, you may have to re-think the situation.

Peru, the young rogue Kingdom that emerged from the ruins of Peru's numerous military dictatorships, has occupied sovereign land of Chile. Easter Island had been claimed by Chile as early as 1863, to which your government did not raise the slightest objection. Upon your annexation of the islands, you did not even notify the Chilean foreign office.

With this in mind, Chile has taken your actions as a direct provocation against the Chilean nation. We demand the immediate surrender of your garrissons in Easter Island and the return of the islands to Chile, accompanied by an official apology.
