History:
After years of political chaos due to the turmoil caused by the global economic collapse, Ignacio Mendez, leader of the fascist ANP, which had seen it's ranks swelled by many unemployed Argentinians, managed to get power in 2030 through a march by his supporters and army units on Buenos Aires. After this bloodless coup, Ignacio Mendez was declared Consul of Argentina.
In a referendum in 2032, the people approved by 78% a new constitution which made Ignacio Mendez Consul for life and banned all political parties except for the ANP. In 2033, the 'Great Purge' was launched which decimated the Argentinian military and police officers, thus eliminating any threat to the Consul. In 10nth August 2034, the 'Night of Death' took place, during which army units loyal to the Consul ambushed and exterminated the paramilitary forces of the ANP, thus destroying the last obstacle for total control of the country.
Now, Ignacio Mendez is supreme ruler of Argentina and ready to expand his Empire across the continent.
