Territories: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chili, Easter Island, Peru and the Falkland Island. 

Government Type: One Party Democracy, whilst general elections are held every 5 years every candidate come from the same party. The party is called ‘The Americas Front Party’ and has been in power since 2030, having just won their second general election. The country is ruled by a High Chancellor who then has a cabinet of ministers who deal with specific parts of the country. The current High Chancellor is Renaldo Silva.

Military: The military of the URSA is officially known as The United Republics of the Southern Americas Peacekeeping Forces, or the URPF (United Republics Peacekeeping Forces). The ground forces of the URPF is made up of a large quantity of men due to the fact every citizen of the URSA is required to serve 3 years in the army, ages 18 to 21, they can then be allowed to carry on serving or dropped out to find other work. During the mandatory service each man is armed as cheaply as possible whilst still being effective. This means they wear very basic flak armour and carry slightly outdated rifles as their main firearm. Those who carry on serving after national service are then refitted with stronger carapace armour as well as being given small implants that can boost strength, reactions and stamina. Their firearm is then replaced with a more up to date rifle. Those that become exemplars of battle are then given the opportunity to man some of the larger mechs that can work as mobile weapons platforms or mobile cover. Finally the other mechanised units used are APC half-tracks and large battle tanks that can also act as artillery. The URPF navy is certainly not as impressive as the ground forces though it is well trained and built and could stand its own against others. Whilst adequately armed with smaller vessels the URPF navy still lacks larger vessels and has very few battleships and no carriers at all. The navy takes all of its servicemen and women as volunteers but during times of crisis conscription takes place, as in all other branches. Finally the URPF aeronautic division is their least proud division. Whilst numbers are adequate most planes and gunships are now outdated and most require some work to be brought back to peak condition. Spending in the aeronautics division was cut vastly during and post WW3. 

Economy: Whilst many of the South American counties’ economies were shattered during WW3 the actual land itself is still very industrially strong. Industrially speaking, the years prior to WW3 much of the Amazonas and other rain forested areas were cleared in vast swathes, whilst this allowed the growth of many large industrial plants, huge factory farms and cheap space for a growing population it also meant a crash in the eco system and a spike in greenhouse gasses. To make up for this some of the land was repurposed as ‘CO2 Converter Fields’. These are basically fields filled with huge pods that draw in vast quantities of air and light, photosynthesise, and then emit the more oxygen rich air back into the environment. The energy produced is then converted into kinetic energy and that is then converted into electrical energy. Whilst not as beautiful, habitat providing or eco system friendly as rainforests these machines do help keep South America as pollution free as possible. There are still a few natural reserves left and they are deemed sacred ad protect the last of some indigenous species. Resources wise the URSA has plantations of many different cash crops that they trade and are big producers of finished goods, buying other raw materials in bulk and then refining them into products to sell on for a profit. Finally, the acquisition of the Falkland Island has meant that there is oil being drilled for as well. 

Foreign Policy: The URSA are open to diplomacy with almost every nation. Though they currently have a fiercely nationalist regime and may have angered some nations with certain atrocities that may (or may not) have been committed during WW3.
