Preston Manning

Role: Head of State

Party: Progressive Conservative Party of Canada

Ideology: Paternalistic Conservatism^note National Conservatism

In-Game Biography:^{Click to Show}Preston Manning, a champion of the conservative and populist values common in Western Canada, founded and led the Reform Party of Canada to many victories in both provincial and federal elections in the decade following the Great American Collapse. For a time it appeared that his party was on course to usurp the Progressive Conservatives as the major right-wing force in the country after Brian Mulroney's disastrous premiership resulted in a landslide victory for the New Democratic Party in 1989. However, the stabilization period after America's demise and NATO's collapse led to mainstream parties experiencing an enormous resurgence, especially the revitalized PCs. After a devastating loss in the 2000 election, Manning resigned as party leader and subsequently dissolved Reform. For many years he remained retired from politics to become simply a footnote in Canada's history, failing to gain enough seats to govern even at his party's height. However, when the Liberal Party became mired by the biggest corruption scandal in Canadian history, Manning was inspired to once again rejoin the political arena and take down the corrupt establishment. In 2003 Manning officially joined the PCs, and after the conservative MacKay government fell to the NDP in 2006 he was seen as a clear candidate to restore a true conservative vision to the country. Less than a month later PC members elected him as their next party leader, and in 2008 Manning rode the back of a populist wave to finally become prime minister of Canada. The aging leader has a clear vision for the country but the question remains; does he have the time and influence to achieve it?

Manning was once the leader of the Reform Party during the late 1980s through the 1990s. He led successful campaigns which brought victories at both the provincial and federal level. However, by 1998, the mainstream parties began to surge in popularity again, leading to a decline in Reform support. Following the loss of the 2000 election, Manning resigned as party leader and retired from politics. However, following a corruption scandal involving the ruling Liberal Party, Manning returned to politics when the New Democratic Party won the 2006 elections. Joining the Progressive Conservative Party and becoming its leader, Manning won a landslide victory in the 2008 snap election, becoming Prime Minister, and entering a coalition with the nationalist One Canada.

Stockwell Day

Role: Head of State (Released by a Fascist country)

Party: Party of Action

• Historical Villain Upgrade: IRL, Stockwell Day was leader of the short lived Canadian Alliance, a right-wing federal party. He garnered significant controversy after he wrote an open letter criticizing an attorney for defending someone accused of possessing child pornography, going so far as to accuse the man of supporting child porn. Day was sued for libel, and settled out of court. However, his legal fees were paid by the Alberta government with up to $800,000 of public funds. He also hired a private detective to follow Liberal candidates to find smear tactics against them. The mounting controversies led to his party turning against him, resulting in his defeat in the leadership election. In Red World, he is amplified to leader of the fascist Party of Action.

Alaska

Official Name: Republic of Alaska, Alaskan Democratic State (Revolutionary Socialist), Socialist Republic of Alaska (Communist), Union of Alaska (National Bolshevik), Principality of Alaska (Monarchist), Alaskan Aryan Republic (Fascist)

Ruling Party: Conservative Party

Ideology: National Conservatism

Alaska’s politics are dominated by Canada and have been since its creation. It is viewed as not much more than a puppet government of Preston Manning’s Administration.

---

• Puppet State: Alaska is a puppet to Canada, as the state's economy was too weak to keep life going on its own.

Jimmy Dore

Role: Head of State (Released by a Revolutionary Socialist country)

Party: Workers' Party of Alaska

Ideology: Revolutionary Socialism

---

• Took a Level in Kindness: A genuine revolutionary socialist rather than a reactionary populist in democratic socialist clothing. That said, many of the events that drove his rightwards turn in the real world(ie: opposition to Bernie Sanders' compromising with the democrats and being enamored at the reactionary anti-establishment rhetoric of Trump and the anti-COVID mandate protestors) are not going to happen in Red World and the mod's starting date was before many of these right-wing shifts became apparent.

Caleb Maupin

Role: Head of State (Released by a Communist country)

Party: New Soviet Front

Ideology: Stalinism^note Communism

---

• Took a Level in Kindness: Downplayed, the real Caleb Maupin's politics are borderline National Bolshevist and hyper-reactionary due to his sympathies for both Aleksandr Dugin and Donald Trump along with his attempts to synthetize American Ultranationalism with Marxism-Leninist ideology. Here however he is just a bog standard Communist and likely has yet to have been embroiled in the sexual abuse scandals that wholly destroyed his reputation on the Marxist-Leninist left in the real world. That said, he is still very much an adherent to a brutal form of Communism as a Stalinist.
• Unwitting Pawn: Went to Alaska with hopes of starting a Communist movement there, ultimately ends up turning into a pawn of CSIS^note the Canadian Security Intelligence Service asset, essentially the Canadian equivalent of the CIA to contain any left wing and pro-Soviet sentiments in Alaska.

Daniel Ortega

Role: President^note Head of State

Party: National Liberation Front of Central America - Loyalists

Ideology: Neoauthoritarianism^note Communism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show}Initially 'Coordinator of the Junta of National Reconstruction', Daniel Ortega has led Nicaragua since 1975, and subsequently Central America since its establishment in 1997. After training with Cuban forces in guerilla warfare, the revolutionary returned to his home nation to fight against the Somoza presidential dynasty. By 1974 the tide had turned against the dictatorship, and Ortega's forces seized complete control in late 1975. When the constitutional convention was cancelled, the international community expressed dismay, believing that the Sandinista National Liberation Front would restore real democracy in Nicaragua. Despite their grievances, the socialist junta continued until a suitable civilian administration could be put in place. After fighting against a right wing rebellion in the mid-1980s, President Ortega finally made concessions and dissolved the Junta to officially become President. From that day forward he worked tirelessly to unite Central America under one government, leading resistance forces in neighbouring nations to victory against their respective right-wing dictatorships. In 1997, the Socialist Republic of Central America was established with Ortega as its sole head of state, advocating for a centralised government rather than the federal alternatives of the past. Since then, no opposition against the President has gained any power, and the various rebels that remain across the country are weakening by the day. It seems Ortega will rule until he dies.

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show}Brother of former president Fidel Castro, Raul Castro's revolutionary history is as long as his brother's. Being a commander in the M-26-7, Raul Castro participated in the revolution against Batista, where he led the 'Frank País Eastern Front' in the Oriente province. After the revolution, Raul Castro was appointed Minister of Defense, a post he held until 2006. For the duration of his tenure, he silently carried out his duties, being overshadowed by his more boisturous brother. Raul Castro's claim to leadership came in 2006, as Fidel Castro stepped down after 49 years of leadership because of declining health. As second secretary of the Politburo, it seemed a given that Castro would succeed his brother, an assumption that came true when the National Assembly of People's Power unanimously elected him president after the 2006 elections. Raul Castro's presidency has seen a more moderate line than his brother, bringing an end to the military adventurism that characterised Cuban foreign policy since the seventies, as well as small-scale political reforms. His short tenure has however also seen military personnel expand their reach throughout Cuban society, particularly in the growing oil and tourism sectors, in response to the return of American-sponsered terrorism courtesy of President Rumsfeld. At the same time, the growing middle class's calls for liberalisation do not appear to be sated by his minor reforms, and the desire for constitutional reform only seems to be growing. Fidel Castro may have created the modern Cuba, but it increasingly appears that it'll be Raul who defines it.

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show}Juan Manuel Santos has been an influential politician in Colombia for decades, holding key positions within various governments. A member of the wealthy Santos family, which is alleged to illegally run almost all of Colombia's major media sectors, Juan Manuel worked his way up the ladder during the 1990s. His ability to create 'impossible deals' endeared him to many in the Colombian political sphere, but also made him a lot of enemies. By 2002, President Alvaro Uribe appointed him Vice President, hoping for the older man to succeed him in later years. However, in 2006 their relationship had soured and Santos secretly leaked incriminating evidence against his former friend and the head of state. The President however refused to accept fault, resulting in a stunning move from the Vice President. In 2007 he resigned from his post and formed a new party, taking three quarters of the leader's party with him. With the Congress of Colombia now firmly against President Uribe, he was impeached in a historic vote, and a snap election was held to decide a successor to Acting President Roy Barreras. The people subsequently voted overwhelmingly for Santos, who became President not long after. Since then he has remained a controversial figure in Colombian politics, from his betrayal of a former ally and close friend, to the deep connections his family has with money and media.

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show}Keiko Fujimori is the oldest child of Alberto Fujimori, a teacher and TV-host who rose to become President of Peru in 1990, during the fallout from the collapse of the United States. She was only 17 years old when her father led a self-coup against the government, forcibly dissolving congress and assuming emergency powers. The country was economically devasted and plagued by terrorism, and Keiko was sent to study in Japan as her father began a brutal war against communist guerillas. The violence of the conflict shocked Keiko’s mother, Susana Higuchi, who split from his father after publicly condemning him. Keiko returned home and was appointed First Lady of Peru in her mother’s place, becoming the youngest in the history of South America. She took an active role in the politics of the country, becoming increasingly influential after her father’s unprecedented third election victory in 2000, often appearing alongside him in official capacity. Her status as successor was confirmed in 2005, when she was chosen as her father’s running mate. At this point opposition to Fujimori’s rule had been virtually stamped out and the two were elected in a landslide, though with much less enthusiasm than expected. In truth, resistance has been growing outside of Fujimori’s puppet parliament. Support for guerillas swelled in rural areas and public protests became increasingly common. Her father soon chose to step down, citing ill health, and was succeeded by Keiko, though this only served to exacerbate the situation. Now, with hundreds joining the resistance by the day, the legacy of Fujimori rests on the edge of a knife.

Party: Democratic Movement

Ideology: Social Liberalism^note Liberalism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show}President Romero Jucá was once an unknown politician in the state of Roraima, as both socialist governments and right wing dictatorships ruled Brazil for countless decades. However, when the Democratic Movement toppled the last military junta in 1987, Jucá quickly rose to the top of the state's food chain, being elected Governor in 1989. His career there would not last long, being ousted by his leftist opponents in 1993. On the other hand, his failure in his home state proved to be the greatest opportunity of Jucá's life, being called to the capital for a personal meeting with Itamar Franco. This exchange solidified his growing powerbase within national politics, as prominent figures grew to like his populist tone and the fiery debates he had conducted in Roraima. By 2006 he was elected leader of the Democratic Movement, and in 2007 won his first nationwide election to become the President of Brazil. After ending more than a decade of leftist national government, Jucá is seen as the savior of centrist politics, but has gradually leaned to the left in recent years to appease disgruntled voters across Brazil.

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show}Originally a member of the Bolivian Communist Party and even founder of the Communist Youth organisation, Oscar Zamora Medinaceli split from the party in 1964. His growing connections with Chinese officials and devoted Maoists had angered many within the highest levels of party administration, and his expulsion was met by an outcry from fellow Bolivian Maoists. In 1965 he formed the Socialist Party, which eventually became the Revolutionary Left Front after another catastrophic split. However, despite the worsening situation for far left politics in Bolivia, the tide was about to turn. The recently formed socialist governments of Argentina, Peru, Paraguay and Uruguay invaded Bolivia to topple the right wing dictatorship of Rene Barrientos. Their operation was successful, and Medinaceli was appointed by the occupying forces as Bolivian President. Just three years later in 1973, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru would mount another successful offensive against Pinochet's regime in Chile. Since then, President Medinaceli has ruled with an iron fist over Bolivia, demanding total allegiance from both the military and populace. However, after revolutions toppled socialist governments in Argentina, Peru and Uruguay, the situation is growing dire every year, and Bolivia could be the next to go.

Party: United Socialist Party

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show}Revolution, whether it be bloody or peaceful, has always been present in the life of Najeeb Amado. Born in Asuncion during the turbulent sixties, a young Najeeb witnessed the violent collapse of the brutal regime of Alfredo Stroessner, even almost losing his life to a grenade during the vicious urban fighting that plagued the capital. After the revolution, Amado joined the United Socialist Party in his twenties, being loyal to party structure and rising through the ranks in Julio Rojas' administration, where he painted himself as a moderate. Amado’s loyalty paid off when he was appointed interior minister in 1983 by the new president, the reformist Ananías Maidana Palacios. There, he used his influence to mediate disputes between the remaining landowners and the indigenous Guarani people, as well as facilitate Ananías' legalization of opposition parties, the modernization of the electoral process and the introduction of multi-party regional elections. When Palacios' health began to decline in 2006, Amado seized the opportunity and, rallying support from the Paraguayan congress, solidified control the following year. He now guides Paraguay on a clear path towards democracy. But with the first free election in the country's history just over the horizon, opponents from both the left and right are rallying support across the nation, and the ultimate fate of Paraguay seems increasingly outside of Amado's hands.

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show}Sergio Massa was unknown to many in the country, until at the age of just 25 he led a revived democratic movement to bringing down a brutal socialist regime. Peronists at the time thought little of the man, but by the drafting of a new constitution in 1999, Massa had solidified his powerbase and gained powerful allies throughout the political sphere. In 2004, he won his first election to become President of Argentina, presenting himself as the savior of a new Argentina that was still lagging behind its neighbours in South America. Initially the economy improved and the people were content with their revolutionary leader remaining head of state for as long as possible, but a short-lived military coup in 2006 ended his leadership. The following year, the ruling junta collapsed due to a devastating economic crisis unfolding across the continent, leading to another restoration of true democracy. In the 2009 election, Massa won to enter his second non-consecutive term as President of Argentina.

Isabel Allende

Role: Head of State

Party: Socialist Party of Chile - Loyalists

Ideology: Revolutionary Socialism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show}In 1970, Salvador Allende was elected President of Chile, adopting a policy of nationalisation and collectivisation. His national leadership however was short-lived, when a military coup led by Augusto Pinochet removed him from office and exiled his family to Mexico. Advised by the Soviet Union and other socialist parties in the Americas, the radical left regimes of Argentina, Bolivia and Peru successfully invaded Pinochet's Chile and executed him upon the surrender of his capital forces. Only a month after the initial military coup, Allende's family had returned to the country, with former First Lady Hortensia Bussi appointed head of state by the occupying powers. She would remain leader of the Socialist Party for fourteen years, gradually reconstructing the country and restoring the people's faith in their government. When she was assassinated in 1987, Chile was breifly governed by four different Presidents over the space of just three years. The chaos resulting from this party instability led to a military intervention. Once the dust had settled and allies of the former President had been arrested, the daughter of Salvador, Isabel Allende was elected President by the recently convened Emergency National Assembly. Since 1990, she has ruled Chile democratically, winning every election since, but many in the international community have begun to question the legitimacy of many of these electoral results.
