Faction: The Democratic Army of Nueva Leon (ADNL)
Leader: Antonio Vicente Caldera/UNpatriot
Class: Politician
Credits: 5,000 (-4500)
Army: 100 Farmers
Navy: none
Government: (Direct) Democracy
Base: In the jungle, north-northeast of El Cerrito
Backstory:
A minor political figure during Mendez's presidency and always just on the border of being removed because of his opinions, Caldera managed to gain widespread support in the short democratic period. His centrist economical views, combining both Chicago school neoliberalism and socialist support of the poorest satisfied slightly both the left and the right of the political spectrum, but his real strength lied in his shamelessly populist charisma he had always possessed, although well hidden. After the coup he fled to the jungles, knowing that a demagog would not live long. Even there the people cherished the idea of ruling themselves, but will his, some call it naïve, softness and reluctancy to be cruel even to the worst of enemies be an asset or an obstacle?

I support the idea of small airplanes. Jets might be not fit for this but
a propeller plane with guns/rockets/something fitted to it would be nice and realistic. However, to buy and use those one would have to have some sort of an airstrip. Helicopters would be nice too.
May I suggest:
1 Prop Plane: 5000 Credits (weak firepower- machine guns, rockets)
1 Small Transport 'Copter: 4000 Credits (minimal firepower, can carry [~10?] foot soldiers)
1 Large Transport 'Copter: 10000 Credits (minimal firepower, can carry [~30?] foot soldiers)
1 Battle 'Copter: 8000 Credits (moderate firepower- machine guns)

From: The Democratic Army of Nueva Leon
To: everyone holding the principles of democracy important
We in the ADNL propose that everyone who wants Nueva Leon to be a democratic nation join forces now to overthrow the enemies of democracy, both the junta and those villains who wish to become nothing better than the current leadership. Even though you might not agree on policies if you agree on the principle that the people should rule Nueva Leon and not some dictator we will consider you a friend, not a foe.
After the enemies of the people have been destroyed, our ideal is to hold an election and let the people choose who will build a new, free Nueva Leon where the people may rule themselves and prosper.
After all, that is what we all want.
