A New Beginning For South America

For years and years, even before the catastrophic Recession of 2017, South America has been the arena of terrifying warfare, as despots rallying both under the flag of the Internationale or underneath the swastika have waged war one another, or in many case, against their very own peoples, whether to cleanse the inferior, or to cleanse the opposition and the traitors that are surely lying in wait to demolish the Established Order.
From this bloody mess, two states emerged alive - the fascists in Argentina, who, through one or another way have eliminated all who have opposed them...or made them flee for their lives. Consul Ignacio Mendez now rules with an iron fist, free of fear from anyone - be they military or not.
And the so-so called "Imperio de Brazil", as it's official title is. Rather ironically, in comparison to the various short-lived statelings that have formed through the turbulent years from 2017 to 2035 in different parts of the country, this monarchy is what one could call "moderate". Political repressions are on a rather sharp decline, peace and security is...relatively guaranteed, but in any case, everything is in a much better state than the previous years.
A rather enigmatic figure is "Dom Pedro II". He's the current ruler of Imperio de Brazil, and his origins are rather unclear. Obviously, he isn't a heir to the actual Dom Pedro, that is an impossibility in any case. Some, especially the more leftist-oriented columnists are spiting him as a mere despot who will inevitably fail to the glorious cause, while the far-right call him an inefficient buffon who can't deal with the threat of the Reds who are just around this corner, waiting to prey on the innocent Brazillian trying to make his wage.
It cannot be denied however that what he's doing is good for the stability of Brazil. Today,
Foreign Relations, alongside the entire world has been informed of the Treaty of Montevideo, purposefully signed on neutral (for now) ground.
The contents are as of follows:
Treaty of Montevideo
The belligerents of this Treaty, or the states of Argentina and Brazil, have agreed to the following:
- That the Continent of South America will be split in two spheres. The Argentinian Sphere will consist of the current states of Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia. The Brazil Sphere will consist of the nationstates of Peru, Columbia, the numerous states in Guyana, and Venezuela, alongside Ecuador.
- Any attempts of intervention by any states, be they the belligerents of this treaty or foreign imperialists seeking to take land will be retaliated upon.
- Peace shall reign among the rulers of both nations for as long as they're alive. After that, it is up to the belligerents to determine whether to re-sign the treaty or not.
It's a new period for South America. Hopefully, full of peace and prosperity.
