Republica de Magallanes y Tierra del Fuego

The Republic of Magallanes and Tierra del Fuego (República de Magallanes and Tierra del Fuego) is a small state located in the island of Tierra del Fuego and the northern shore of the Magellan Strait. The Republic is in reality ruled by a semi-dictatorial government formed by a Military Junta, although not a fully police state, the Junta has limited some rights of its citizens due to the constant threat of Frankish raids and attacks from other small states in the South American Region.

The Republic is not a member of the CDC, however it has offered some aid in the Canterlotian Conflict as a way to train and prepare its troops for the upcoming conflict near home.

The Magellanic economy is heavily based on agriculture, fishery and coal, oil is also a main resource and sustans a large part of the reconstruction process after the Strait is regained from raids. The limited resources, high living costs, mainly on fuel and repairs of infraestructure and the spending on defense elements stress out the budget, and most of the Magellanic cities are only a smoldering ruin, with most of the population staying in the fields and the cities being used as military bases.

Its population stands around the 750.000 people, and it tends to live around the Strait, however a large part of it is militarized, and migrates south when the Junta enacts a "Safety Migration Order" in the wake of a frankish raid. These raids often target the population, used for forced labours up north, as well as resources, and so the Junta is forced to migrate its assets and population south, to the mountainous areas of the Darwin Mountain Range.

Government
The RMTF, while taking the name of a Republic, is a military dictatorship. Its constitution states that "The Protection of the people of Tierra del Fuego and Magallanes is of the uttermost importance, and such need allows the Government to revoke basic rights such as freedom of movement, voting rights and other rights that may, under the opinion of the People´s Council, affect the security of the population from external threats," This is a clear effect of the Frankish Threat and the need of survival that occupies practically the whole effort of the Govenrment.
