The roots of the Democrático Latino Federación can be traced back to two revolutions: one in Cuba, the other in Panama.
When the Cuban leader Donat Castro finally kicked the bucket at age 112, his son Celso was greeted in his acceptance of his new job with a bomb sent to him by General Cande Santana as one part one of the general’s scheme to coup the government. Part two involved a quick series of additional assassinations to remove any military rivals to power. Part three, the marching of the general’s forces into Havana, did not repeat the success of the for a rebel leader in waiting by the name of Itxaso Ruiz leaded her Free Cuban Front to engage with the army of General Santana. The battle actually was a loss to both sides, especially with the deaths of both Santana and Ruiz in the heart of the battle. Attempts were made by both the Free Cuban Front and the remains of the army of Santana to win but they faced a third opposition; the revolutionary guard of the Castro government took down both armies. However the lasts of the Castro family had fled with no desire of returning to the chaotic situation. The result was that Ion Rojo installed himself as “caretaker” of the government, in reality installing him as the new leader. His rule only lasted a month and a half: on the 3rd day of the New Year a massive passive demonstration occurred, leaded by the Movement of the Cuban Voice, leaded by Guadalupe Menendez. Guns were fired but it only caused the protests to increase in number, eventually leading Ion Rojo in panic to flee to Switzerland. One of the few military generals remaining after the chaos of Santana, General Jordi Ramirez, surrendered the army to the protesters. A election was then held that saw the Movement of the Cuban Voice win by a landslide. Hence the Second Revolution in Cuba ended.
In Panama an economic recession saw the wages of workers at the cannel dropped. In protest the workers at the cannel went on strike, closing the trade route. Another series of strikes occurred. The democratic government was unable to uphold the chaos. One of the movements that was taking chance of the chaos was the Order Movement, a ultra-authoritarian movement leaded by Cornel Idoya Delgado. Idoya eventually with use of the army’s support of the Order Movement and from the division of the opposition manage to claim control of the Panama government. Now the Republic of Panama was leaded by a dictator. The Cornel’s Revolution as it came to be known signalled authoritarian years for Panama.
Why are these revolutions important when they are but 2 countries that make up the Democrático Latino Federación? The Caribbean War and the Latin War of Union are the answer.
Panama under Idoya Delgado began a series of expanding borders, beginning with the takeover of Costa Rica in what was the Costa Rican Conflict, the other nations turning a blind eye due to respected domestic of the countries. Delgado then began expanding the borders in Columbia, taking advantage of a fierce civil war that was touring Columbia apart. Meanwhile the Cubans and the government of Haiti had a dispute over sea borders, resulting in a skirmish. Jamaica having set an alliance with Haiti set forth to honour their defence pact. Delgado took advantage and set forth the conquest of Jamaica. The war became full blown: Cuba and Haiti seemed to make a temporal peace as they fought against the genius but lone fleets of Panama. The Dominion Republic entered the war… on Panama’s favour, attacking Haiti. Meanwhile Nicaragu entered into Costa Rica with Hondurus aid against Panama, while Columbian rebel groups starting pouring around the Panama Cannel itself. The chaos leaded to eventually the downfall of Idoya but not before Cuba decided to full scale annex Panama and Jamacia, followed by Haiti and the Dominion Republic. This act of a democracy turning to expansion was set by the emergency powers that the Cuban President Atilo Castellano declared himself for the war.
The Pact of Port-au-Prince was set forth to set the status quo by ending the war and allowing Cuba its gains in hope of ensuring this new formed Caribbean Federation that Atilo formed would not expand further.
Alas the hint of a second war shows what happens.
After betrayed the revolution he took oath to protect Atilo Castellano then decided to turn his Caribbean Federation into a Latin American Federation. Earning the services of the Panama veteran General Blas De La Fuente the Cuban President-for-life first took Puerto Rico before invading Columbia to expand the borders: the collapsing Columbia signed a peace treaty to allow Castellano his new land, just before Columbia totally collapsed due to another civil war. Then Costa Rica got annexed once more, not before Nicaragu was invaded.
That was enough: the Latin War of Union began, also known as the War of Latin Subjection.
Castellano found fortune as the alliance of Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador and Gautama and Belize was founded too slow, allowing the Cubans to annex Nicaragua and begin a slow takeover of Belize. However Haiti and the Columbian regions revolted against Castellan. General Blas De La Fuente, the man who served as the genius of the Caribbean Federation’s successes, was assassinated by a cable of the former existent Order Movement, having regarded De La Funte as “a traitor to the memory of the Cornel.” However the successes the alliance faced was ironically going to the control over the region by a single power but not in the tyranny that Castellano, who is still in jail to this day serving his (literal) life imprisonment, dreamed of. The chaos that caused nations to wither away outside central America and the Caribbean had leaded to the Las Tablas Conference, which the Peace Pact of Las Tablas had been signed to signal the end of the Latin War of Union. It was decided that by peaceful means the nations that had been subjected to the chaos should unite under one flag.
The Democrático Latino Federación was formed.
First it was a federation in name only; the idea was more of a union to protect the national interests. Its first President Cande Rana was more a figurehead. The Peoples Council that was forged was limited in power. However this changed in the second presidency of the Democrático Latino Federación. President Joseba Vives would find his figurehead rule met with what became known as the Esperanza Manantial or Hope Spring as a series of revolt occurred in anger of ecomonic crises and failures to see the repairs of the wars. Two movements known as the Socialist Society for Salvation and the Federal Liberation Force both took off; the former saw its power in Honduras, the Caribean and parts of the Columbian land that had remain as part of Panama, while the later movement… had the rest. They decided after claiming viva their revolution to unite to forge the Democratic Latin Federation as a single, united power.
The third president of the DLF came to be Socialist Society for Salvation’s, now known as the Socialist Party for Salvation, Haitian leader Flavie Roux. After her came Esti Zapatero but her rule came sort viva an assassination by the Order Movement (having reformed itself as a authoritarian rebellion group) a few days before the election that was to signal her second term. Her successor was her vice: Quim Ortiz, an owner of electronics company in Honduras and had been proud aider of the Socialist Society for Salvation during the Esperanza Manantial. As a symbol of “a new era of democracy” Quim Ortiz declared the construction of a new city to serve as capital of the DLF to replace the joint capitals of San Jose and Havana: Esperanza Manantial, named after the DLF’s revolution, placed in central Hondures so happen near both Julticalpa and Catacamas, both home to the H.Qs of Quim’s Ortiz Electronic Industries. He managed to take in lands of what was Mexico into the DLF and set economic reforms to create his “Scarlet Market.” The presidential laws however set his short time after Zapatero’s assassination as his first term: the Socialist Party for Salvation’s nominee became Zuzen Zavala, who lost to the Federal Liberation Force’s nomine and then set to be filth president of the DLF, Xoana Tos.
Tos first act was to revert to the original capitals in her Counter Centralisation Act, although Esperanza Manantial continued to constructed in size by method of its mayor, Quim’s brother Vito Ortiz. Tos managed to pacify the DLF’s Columbian lands and gave a ecomonic boom for the DLF. After her two terms came the second DLF president that was of the Federal Liberation Force (renamed Liberal Federalist Party) Ruy Silva. His two terms were reasonable but then came a ecomonic crisis in the end. His successor was his younger brother Xuan. This especialy with the threatening rise of the Order Movement saw the return of the Socialist Party for Salvation back into power, leaded by Vito Ortiz’s second eldest son Eloy Ortiz.
Eloy began his rule by returning Esperanza Manantial its status as capital, completing the new building for the People’s Council and setting a new series of railways in Honduras. He maintained popular support especially with maintaining the reconstruction efforts. However as he approach the election for his second term Eloy Ortiz began to consider that his powers as president was limited by the Peoples Council and that the two term limit was “unjust for the Ortiz family’s leadership skills, as seen by what happened to my poor uncle!”
So after beating his key opposition Yago Olmos that Eloy began his “steps for greater action making!”
Now in the minds of his second term Eloy Ortiz has begun a series of attempts to increase the power of the president and the term limit, from making it that the leading party had an additional 10 votes in the Peoples Council to giving him the power of appointing constitutional judges. These have so far failed but Eloy is still determined to be a three term or more president. This has come to the annoyance of his vice Roc Espino and to the joy of Liberal Federalist Party leader Rebeca Cardona, as well as the leader of a third rising party that is the Catholic Democrat Party: Vitor Rojo. This combined with the sinister plans of the Order Movement’s leader Vicent Sanchez and the rise of a the anti-federation movement known as the Alliance of Free Nationalists leaded by Doctor Nicolas Plamondon means that Eloy Ortiz’s new “Glorious Federal Province Recruitment Plan of the Scarlet Memories of the Glorious Revolutions” will face internal challenges along with external challenges
Edit: OOC: due to a call of attention the correct name of the nation gramatically would be the Federacion Democratic Latina, set as FDL. From now on I will call my power the Federación Democraticá Latina. Just pretend my past statements were of the FDL than the DLF.

History of the Third Reich
June 6, 1944 - This was the day the Reich was to be destroyed. The Allied powers had prepared to launch a full scale invasion of Occupied France, and additionally continue to crush combined Germany and Austria itself. Troops would land on various beaches and throughout the coastline of France, and airborne troops would float in from the sky. Victory was assured, they said.
Well, that was how it was supposed to happen. What actually occurred during the landings was relayed back to the Allied powers from what few survivors managed to escape. The Nazis had invented a type of Wunderwaffe. The whirr of strange machines was heard, the high pitched whistling of landing bombs and screaming torpedoes. Many Allied forces were unprepared for a large scale gas attack - a strange mist exploded over the beaches and against the invading forces. Shortly after, they collapsed, coughing up blood and bleeding from their ears, never to move again.
The invasion was a complete and utter failure. However, the Nazi forces could not compete with continued support from the United States, as well as the Russian invasion from the East.
In the end, the original Reich preserved, with surrounding occupied territories seceding or declaring independence, although being nothing more than puppet states for the Greater Powers. The Reich remained, with Hitler as its leader, and began consolidating its resources.
The Holocaust never happened, all traces of a supposed event were merely Communist propaganda against the State, and most Jews officially fled the country. Officially.

Do oversea claims need navies to carry the armies or can a navy simply claim a oversea province on its own?
Anyrate: here is the turn claiments. 12 will go into armies: the rest into 38 navies.
Edit: revision notes that my method was incorrect. Here is the correct cliaments and point usage this turn.

Just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding the means of claiming new provinces - I put some of my income (130) into armies and navies, and then claim a corresponding amount of provinces?
