I was overcome by a wave of nostalgia when reading over my old stuff, so I had to.

Nation: The Federative Republic of Brazil

Leader: President Adriano Claro

History: Brazil suffered a rocky history until 1950, after its limited participation in the First World War. The battle between rising corporate interests and the government shook the nation to its core, with the influence of these powerful magnates finally removed in the early 1950s. Since then, Brazil has integrated and formed closer ties with its South American neighbors, culminating in the South American Confederacy formed by President Claro during his first term, an organization formed for joint South American military assistance and trade management. In 1970, there was a major rebellion of so-called "Brazilian patriots" who opposed integration with the other South American countries, which was inevitably crushed.

Brazil, like the rest of South America, has long been focused inward, but with the beginning of Adriano Claro's first term in 1976, he sought to foster ties with like-minded nations such as Ethiopia and the rising Armenian nation. Military collaboration and trade agreements were created with the Slavic Union of Poland and Ukraine. Though wary of overextension, Claro desires to help combat the great powers of Spain and China, as well as keeping a wary eye on its northern Anglo neighbor.

Brazil during Adriano Claro's first term has sought a middle way between the rabid capitalism that characterizes Spain and the staunch communism professed by China and its allies. The economy is mixed between state control and private enterprise, with the core industries managed by the state and smaller businesses and industries left in private hands. This path is opposed both by the Liberals and Communists in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, but for now Claro's Brazilian People's Party holds a majority with the Liberals a close second.

Edit: I was reading over the IC regarding the destruction of the Ottoman Empire, but Evan's storyline is just way too constricting for me to be able to operate creatively there.
