'''Puramape''' (<small>Gaullican pronunciation:</small> {{wp|Help:IPA/French|[puʁamape] }}; {{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''Pouramape''), officially '''Republic of Puramape''' ({{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''République de Pouramape'') is a republic in [[Asteria Inferior]]. It shares borders with [[Satucin]] to the west, the [[Arucian Sea|East Arucian Sea]] to the north, and [[Keppland]] and [[Gapolania]] to the east; the south of the territory is covered by the [[Sierra Bianca]] {{wp|mountain range}}. Its capital and largest city is [[Saint Ferdinand de la Vallée de la Providence]], located in the country's central plateau.

The territory was inhabited by indigenous peoples for many years before colonization by [[Euclea|Eucleans]]. During its initial years, Puramape was discovered by [[Vespasia]]n merchants and colonisers, who settled a small port colony on what was later called [[Montsinéry-Tonnegrande]]; the closeness between the [[Gapolania|Viceroyalty of New Povelia]] and the [[Satucin|Viceroyalty General of Satucin]] soon made of Puramape a {{wp|zone of contention}} between the colonial empires with limited Euclean settlements. Fearing Vespasian's expansion to Satucin, [[Gaullica]]ns led the incursion in the territory of Puramape, expelling Vespasians through subsequent battles which concluded with the territory being handed to Gaullican authorities, remaining during most of its colonial period as a province of the Viceroyalty General of Satucin. The power in the island, however, saw the particularity of being shared between the Gaullican crown and the [[Solarian Catholic Church]]. Between the 17th and the 18th centuries, ecclesial orders would capitalise their power through the creation of "{{wp|indian reductions}}", missions established inland that gathered native communities to live in relative freedom. Priests were in charge of the education and labour of the local population, and reductions served as independent economic units that diminished the crown's influence in the island. The communities proved crucial for those escaping from enslavement and the encomiendas labour system; with the establishment of slavery market, reductions would also provide protection to freed slaves.

During the 18th and early 19th centuries, the territory of Puramape remained lagged behind the more prosperous Satucin; the isolation from the rest of the Viceroyalty and different power and labour dynamics were crucial in the development of a sense of own idiosyncrasy, soon leading to differences between the two provinces. An independence struggle commenced during the 19th century, first against Gaullican and Vespasian domination, concluding with the Gaullican surrender after the Great War and later against Satucine {{wp|centralism}}.

Following independence, Puramape saw a growing tension between newborn political forces ([[Party of National Integration]] and the [[Civic Radical Union]]), which, after a short period of civil conflicts, were solved by several political reforms under the governments of [[Jean-Pascal Chagnon]] (UCR). Under successive UCR governments, the country saw a level of development, with the expansion of labour, healthcare and education across the nation. However, it was also the period of an increase in the use of an export based economic model, which boosted the influence of major Asterian companies in the country; this situation saw an algid moment when, entering a financial crisis in the 1970s, the population lived under a {{wp|red scare}} promoted from the political establishment aimed to oppose to [[Chistovodia]]n influence in the region. In 1974, the three main political parties, PDIN-UCR-USC, joined in the Accord of Camp-Perrin to grant governability and stability, as well as political participation, isolating the recently founded and popular SRAE and PVP. During the 1980s and 1990s, governments were forced to implement several {{wp|neoliberal reforms}} under the {{wp|Washington Consensus|Morwall Consensus}}, of which Puramape rapidly became a strong advocate until the early 2000s. Puramape was hit by the 2005 financial crisis, following that event, the left-wing coalition, FPP reached power for the first time, arising current political dynamics between urban centres and the agribusiness elites.

Puramape is a {{wp|Unitary}} {{wp|parliamentary}} {{wp|constitutional}} {{wp|republic}}; it is considered a {{wp|full democracy}} in the region and has performed favourably in metrics such as {{wp|Human Development Index}} and {{wp|press freedom}}. However, the country deals with a high inequality and a growing problem of {{wp|insecurity}}. Puramape is a full member of the [[Community of Nations]], the [[Arucian Cooperation Organization]], the [[Organization of Asterian Nations]], the [[International Council for Democracy]], the [[Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs]] and the [[International Trade Organisation]].
==Etymology==
[[File:Amanhecer nos Pampas do Sul.jpg|230px|thumb|left|Strong winds in the plains of Puramape have historically given name to the territory]]
The name "Puramape" is the {{wp|English language|Estmerish}} derivation from the {{wp|French language|Gaullican}} name,''Pouramapè''. The original name of the territory is believed to be a colonial modification from the original name, "Purapamapu" of {{wp|Mapuche people|Chanuche}} origin meant to define the {{wp|pampas}} of the north of the territory. A popular interpretation from the original name "Purapamapu" refers to the composition of the two Chanuche words, ''"Purapa"'' (winds from the sea) and ''"Mapu"'' (land, country or plains), with the two meaning "land" or "plains" of  "strong winds of the sea", in direct relation to the plain territory north of the [[Sierra Bianca]] mountain range, where winds tend to be strong, bending trees and marking life in the territory.

During most of the colonial period, the territory of Puramape was named "Prefecture of Saint Ferdinand", answering to the name of the capital of the province and now capital city of the country, [[Saint Ferdinand de la Vallée de la Providence]]. However, in many records and maps of the time, the name "Puramape" exists in relation to the plains that occupy a large portion of the territory in the border with [[Satucin]], and was a common toponym to the country and people of said geography; in texts of the [[Gaullica]]n {{wp|conquérant}} [[Pierre-Antoine Courvoisier du Suberscaseux]], the term is found as "men of the Pouramape" as one of the earliest evidences of the toponym. Following independence, it was named "Republic of Puramape" (''République de Pouramape'').

[[File:Rojas_pinilla.jpg|180px|thumb|[[General Jean-Pascal Chagnon]] shaped the early political panorama of Puramape. ]]
Shortly after independence, the [[General Jean-Pascal Chagnon]] was elected premier from the [[Civic Radical Union]]. Amid growing tensions between the two main political forces, Chagnon conducted a number of political reforms to avoid the course of a {{wp|civil conflict}}; during his 15 year long term, Chagnon impulsed {{wp|universal suffrage}}, {{wp|representative}} {{wp|parliamentarism}}, {{wp|social security}} and a number of {{wp|labour reforms}} that included broad {{wp|unemployment compensation}}s. 

[[File:Saladero Liebig's - Fray Bentos - Río Negro.tif|230px|left|thumb|Meat Industry, somewhere in Puramape. ]]
Assuming the office of the premiership after independence, Jean-Pascal Chagnon conducted a number of {{wp|nationalisations}} aimed to impulse productivity and public investment in key areas of the economy. During the first half of the 1930s, Puramape was able to expand its network of railways and motorways, and granted {{wp|state-owned}} {{wp|monopolies}} to the dairy cooperative [[name]], the oil and concrete producer, the water distribution company, the electricity and telecommunications company and others. Under Chagnon, the state was conceived with an active role in the economy as a competitor and regulator; {{wp|labour organisation}} was actively promoted, generating a major mass of unionised workers in the country. 

Chagnon's successive terms in office shaped Radicalism in Puramape and the country's political system during a period called [[UCR|Radical spring]], in which power was dominated by the UCR through its {{wp|progressive}} wing, counting with a predominantly urban support. Politically, constitutional reforms made by Chagnon to grant political participation of the opposition in diverse nationalised companies and numerous administrative offices, allowed a long period of political peace and open discussion. Puramape became a leading exporter of meat, dairy and wheat, rapidly becoming known as the {{wp|breadbasket|breadbasket of the world}}; beneficial prices of commodities, a model of {{wp|import substitution industrialization}} and political stability were crucial in the development of the country and an increasement in the general {{wp|standards of life}}.

===CONAPRO years (late 20th century)===
{{main|Programmatic National Coalition}}
[[File:Fernando_Belaúnde_Terry_1980.jpg|200px|thumb|[[Louis Geiger Maitre]], premier between 1967 and 1976 became a political strategist in Puramape. ]]
During the late 1950s, economic downturns and a regional fall in commodities prices affected the Puramapese economy. The model of state promoted until then was starting to be perceived as inefficient by several political actors, with a large mass of public workers and an industry largely subsidised, which was unable to compete against international prices. In 1958, the country plains were heavily affected by floods, destroying crops and resulting in an increase in {{wp|inflation}}; by the end of the decade, Puramape was living record {{wp|unemployment}} figures, while an exodus from rural populations to the cities provoked the expansion of {{wp|informal slums}}.

[[File:Mexico City-Platz der Schreiber-02-Schuhputzer-1980-gje.jpg|200px|thumb|left|View of a square in [[Saint Ferdinand de la Vallée de la Providence]], 1980. ]]
During most of the decade of the 1960s, [[Jean-Joël Lecerf-Boudon]] led the country as a direct successor of Chagnon. However, the economic difficulties, forced Lecerf-Boudon to redirect the UCR and government policy towards liberal and orthodox lines. Lecerf-Boudon's ideological closeness with the {{wp|conservative}} factions of the UCR were accused of traition by the senators from its {{wp|progressive}} wing, forcing his renounce. [[Louis Geiger Maitre]] assumed the leadership of the party, although consolidating the conservative turn of the party marking the distance from the progressive predecessors. The terms were marked by stability programs aimed to reduce inflation, a growing {{wp|deindustrialisation}} and an environment of political tension, which prompted clashes between {{wp|trade unions}}, students and the police. Fearing losing power, the UCR made several agreements with the [[Party of National Integration|PDIN]] and the [[Social Catholic Union|USC]], while promoted a {{wp|red scare}} over the [[People's Socialist Party]] and the [[East Arucian Revolutionary Section]], the main political arms of the left, which were accused of being [[Chistovodia]]n-allies. In the 1976, for the first time, the PDIN overtook the UCR and was able to form government, although in minority and for a few years before its collapse.

In order to isolate the political left, UCR, PDIN and USC, formed the [[Programmatic National Coalition|CONAPRO]], an organ of political coordination between the main political parties and social organisations, which aimed to form an axis of minimum programmatic guidelines and establish stable governments with the support of the three parties, which were given several positions in the administration. The CONAPRO functioned for over 27 years and consolidated UCR's political dominance over the rest of the century, a political dynamic of agreement and consensus between the main forces and a large {{wp|middle class}} often associated with the {{wp|public administration}}.

===21st century===
{{see also|Front for People's Participation}} 
[[File:Zelaya_en_Brasil_Agosto_2009.jpg|180px|thumb|Gérard Rigal, leader of the [[FPP]], became the first {{wp|left}} premier of Puramape in 2006, starting a major change in Puramapese politics and society. ]]
The 21st century in Puramape meant the end of the {{wp|bipartidist}} political system that had ruled the country since independence. [[Daniel La Rue]] was elected premier in 2000 after a general election that produced, for the first time, a majority for the {{wp|leftist}} coalition [[Front for People's Participation]]. However, La Rue was able to form the last government of the UCR within the [[Programmatic National Coalition]]. The six-year government was marked by several {{wp|neoliberal}} reforms and intense confrontation with {{wp|trade unions}}, exemplified by the referendums for the {{wp|privatisation}} of public companies and the conclusion of an {{wp|FTA}} with [[Senria]]. 

Hit by the consequences of the {{wp|financial crisis|2005 financial crisis}}, CONAPRO was broken and without political support. La Rue was forced to dismiss the government and announce a snap general election. In 2006, after being in {{wp|opposition}} since 1981, the FPP became the largest coalition in the Senate and [[Gérard Rigal]] became the first premier from the left in the country's history. The government enjoyed broad social support, although it also faced animosity from economic chambers and rural societies, which held a months-long strike against the imposition of a tax increase on {{wp|agro-exports}} in 2010. During their term, Puramape was able to reduce {{wp|poverty rates}} to record lows, decrease {{wp|unemployment}} and increase {{wp|foreign investment}}. In 2015, Rigal was succeeded by [[Benjamin Durand]] as leader of the FPP and later premier of Puramape. For the first time, the left coalition was supported by a former Alliance member, the [[Social Catholic Union]]. The Durand government continued the implementation of most of Rigal's social policies with positive effects on wages and general quality of life. However, during the second half of the term, the government suffered a dramatic increase in social violence and delinquency related to {{wp|drug trafficking}} and abuse. 

In recent years, Puramape has undergone a process of reconfiguration of its {{wp|two-party system}}. The political system has realigned under two coalitions —the FPP on the left and the PDIN-led coalition on the centre-right— with small groups often representing a {{wp|third option}} in minority. In the 2023 general elections, [[Edouard Lecoubarry]] of the {{wp|liberal conservative}} [[Party of National Integration]] was invested premier, breaking a trend of more than 15 years of leftist administration.

==Geography==
[[File:Aerial Foz de Iguaçu 21 Nov 2005.jpg|230px|thumb|Maipo Falls in the department of Maipo, bordering [[Satucin]]; falls are a common geographical accident in the tropical forest of Puramape and the Chaîne region.]]
Puramape extends over a total area of approximately 998,000 km<sup>2</sup> (385,000 sq mi), which fall in the {{wp|southern hemisphere}}, on the eastern portion of [[Asteria Inferior]] and with coasts bathed by the [[Arucian Sea|East Arucian]]. The country is geographically divided into four terrestrial {{wp|ecoregions}}: the pre-''Chaîne'', the ''Chaîne'', the Pampa Littoral and the Coast. Geographically, the four regions comprise different terrains and climates, which have historically conditioned human settlement and economic-productive methods and logics. 

Although more than 60% of the territory is covered in grassy plains, a large portion of these are subscribed to the [[Satucin]]e-[[Arucian Sea|Aurican]] {{wp|tropical moist forests biome|tropical forests}} of abundant and dense vegetation, making agricole production highly expensive. Most of the productive engine of the country is centred in the north and west of the country; the region of the Pampa Littoral and the Coast is known for its high fertility and is home to large extensions of grass dedicated to {{wp|stockbreeding}} and different agricultural productions. 

The rest of the territory is covered by the pre-''Chaîne'' and the ''Chaîne'' (or {{wp|mountain range}}) along the southern portions of the country; the first, allows agriculture and stockbreeding in different areas, where it provides a lower altitude with {{wp|rolling hills}}, often covered in grass or part of the abundant vegetation of the tropical forest. The second, covers a larger area and makes agricultural production almost impossible. The Chaîne is part of the [[Sierra Blanca]], which spans along the east of Asteria Inferior and exposes a particular topography on its Puramapese portions, where intense rainfalls have produced large {{wp|flat-topped mountain}}s and high {{wp|cliffs}}; the Chaîne counts with a difficult access across the forest, and thus is has remained  largely uninhabited and unexplored ; the highest point in the Puramapese territory, the Mount of the Incarnation, is found at 2,810 m (9,220 ft) and is part of the Sierra Blanca Chaîne.

The current {{wp|constitution}} of Puramape defines the country as a {{wp|unitary}} {{wp|parliamentary}} {{wp|constitutional}} {{wp|republic}}, with power being separated in the three branches of the {{wp|Executive}}, {{wp|Legislative}} and {{wp|Judiciary}}. As a parliamentary republic, the executive is formed by the [[President of Puramape]], who exercises the role of {{wp|Head of State}} as a representative of the country overseas and {{wp|Commander-in-chief}} of the [[Puramapese Armed Forces]], and the [[Premier of Puramape]], who occupies the role of {{wp|Head of Government}} and is the ''de facto'' leading office of the [[Cabinet of Puramape|Cabinet]]. 

[[File:Congreso Colombia.png|230px|thumb|left|Palace of the Senate in Providence, is home of the legislative power in Puramape. ]]
The President is, constitutionally, elected every by {{wp|universal suffrage}} every six years, and occupies the office in a merely ceremonial role; presidents can be re-elected twice and after a second term are banned from occupying any other office in the State. Presidents are in charge of commanding party's leaders to form government after a general election; Premiers are elected through an indirect election, in which the [[Senate of Puramape]] grants the {{wp|legislative confidence}} to the party leader with the most votes. After coalitions are formed and a leader receives the confidence of the legislature, Presidents are in charge of appointing them as Head of Government, allowing the formation of a {{wp|cabinet}}. Confidence can be retired from the Senate, forcing the President to set a new {{wp|general election}} and the dismissal of the Premier. Legislative power is vested on the [[Senate of Puramape]] and occupies an important role in the daily politics of the country; the legislature is {{wp|unicameral}} and composed by 130 members elected for a term of 5 years with the possibility of being renewable. The Judiciary has been historically influenced by [[Gaullica]]n {{wp|civil law}}. 

The {{wp|political system}} of Puramape coutns with a long traditional of representation of {{wp|political parties}} that occupy a broad {{wp|ideological spectrum}}, granting {{wp|governability}} and high levels of {{wp|institutional representation}} and {{wp|democratic discussion}}. The system is historically rooted in a {{wp|two-party system}}, which has suffered a mutation in the 1990s and onwards.

Since its independence, Puramapese foreign relations have been dominated by close ties with [[Euclea]]n powers, specially [[Gaullica]] and [[Estmere]], as well as by regional dynamics with the {{wp|hegemonic}} [[Satucin]]. During the 20th century, the country undergone a process of depoliticisation of its foreign affairs policy, consolidating an international axis under the logics of {{wp|free trade}}, {{wp|international cooperation}} and {{wp|regional and international security}}; under this, the country has become an active player during {{wp|Free Trade Agreements}} across the [[Asterias|Asterian continents]] and the [[Vehemens Ocean]].

Regionally, Puramape has historically tried to counter [[Satucin]]e hegemony; although the two count with friendly relations and are crucial economic partners to each other, Puramape-Satucin relations have been difficult at times over {{wp|maritime boundaries}}, nowadays, the two cooperate over the jungle to prevent {{wp|drug trafficking and production}}. Although the country has historically promoted {{wp|non-militaristic relations}}, Puramape is considered a strategic security ally of the [[North Vehemens Organization]] in the [[Arucian Sea]], and of the [[Sangang Mutual Security Organization]] in [[Asteria Inferior]]. Over the last years, Puramape has also signed military agreements with [[Estmere]] to strengthen regional security in areas prone to {{wp|drug trafficking}}; due to this, relations with the {{wp|socialist world}}, in particular with [[Chistovodia]], have remained tense. 

Puramape is a member-state of the [[Community of Nations]], the [[Asteria Inferior Common Market]],  the [[International Council for Democracy]], the [[Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs]] and the [[Organization of Asterian Nations]].  In 2010, the country became a full member of the [[Association for Economic Development and Cooperation]] owing to its economic success and fiscal responsibility. Puramape is an observer of the [[Arucian Cooperation Organization]].

{{main|Military Forces of Puramape}}
The [[Military Forces of Puramape]] —''Forces militaires de Puramape''— are the unified {{wp|armed forces}} of Puramape. Its control is exercised by the President {{wp|commander-in-chief}}, followed by the Minister of Defence and the {{wp|General Commander}}. The armed forces are comprised of the [[National Army of Puramape]] (ANP), the [[National Navy of Puramape]] (ARP) and the [[National Air Force of Puramape]] (FAP).

Due to its smaller size in population terms, the Military Forces of Puramape is one of the smaller sized armed forces of the Asterias; as of 2023, it counts with nearly 24,500 {{wp|active personnel}} and 9,900 as {{wp|reserve military}}. In 2020, the country spent nearly 2.5% of the country's {{wp|GDP}} in military expenditure. The armed forces' role is defined in the Constitution of Puramape as to safeguard independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Puramape; however, the armed forces have been attributed with the role of keeping civil order during catastrophes and when asked by the {{wp|Executive branch}}; political efforts have been made to create a fourth branch that could act as a {{wp|gendarmerie}}. Under the sphere of the Ministry of Defence is also the [[Administrative Department of Security (Puramape)|Administrative Department of Security]], the Puramapese {{wp|intelligence service}}; the DAS has been under the public eye for allegations of spy on political figures, trade unions and journalists. In recent years, Puramape has played a key role during {{wp|peace international missions}} led by the [[Community of Nations]] in [[Rahelia]] and [[Bahia]]; the country's armed forces are usually considered an ally of [[Euclean Common Defence Treaty Organisation|ECDTO]] and [[North Vehemens Organization|NVO]], and it regularly plays a role in {{wp|joint exercises}} and missions.

Puramape aims to exercise influence in the [[Arucian Sea|Eastern Arucian]] and its inland regions; it is considered a {{wp|middle power|middle}} to {{wp|small power}}, and over the decades, it has projected its military presence in the region through {{wp|alliances}} with Asterian and Euclean powers. The country's military forces are provided mostly by [[Estmere]], [[Werania]], [[Senria]], [[Soravia]] and [[North Vehemens Organization|NVO nations]].
