Union of Latin Nations

The Union of Latin Nations is a union of several dozen independent region-states throughout Latin and Central America. With the inundation and destruction of the north, Latin American nations were forced to band together to prevent chaos and economic collapse. What was formerly a loose and unsuccessful continental union modeled on the European Union became something far more akin to the previous United States of America, a strong federal government ruling over broadly autonomous states with large autonomy still.

A relative latecomer to the space-race, the Union of Latin Nations recently went through a divisive period of political instability which began with the breakup of Brazil as a federal sub-unit, consuming political and economic willpower for more than a decade. The government of the Union of Latin Nations eventually forced the break up formerly powerful national subunits into smaller, population and resource-based states, placing the people of the continent on a more equal footing and 'saving' the Latin Republic by this action. Tired of political conflict and gridlock, a broad conservative alliance has gained power which seems more interested in economic growth and conservatism than returning to the fights of the past generation or jingoism, and now looks to the stars to bolster its tremendous resources in service to economic growth.
