[b][u][size=150][anchor=Ety]Etymology[/anchor][/b][/u][/size]
The nation name refers to the river mouth of Riachuelo. The standard way to refer to a citizen of the Republic of La Boca is as a "Boquense."
[b][u][size=150][anchor=Hist]History[/anchor][/b][/u][/size] The history of the Republic of La Boca, begins in 2011, being founded thanks to the discontent of Argentine and Italian settlers. The Republic of La Boca was founded on Friday, August 20, 2011, as marked by the Gregorian calendar. The previous day there had been a referendum in which 97% of the population voted "yes" to independence. On September 24, 2011, the Republic of La Boca suffered its first coup d'etat, led by the fascist Franco Suárez, who then held the title of Generalissimo. On October 18 of that fateful 2011, democracy returned to the Republic of La Boca and proclaimed a socialist state, open to the market economy. The parliamentary regime was established, because it was considered that the rest of presidential America "failed and will continue to fail", and an important socio-economic reform was made. After a new popular referendum, the First General Constituent Congress was held on November 19, 2011, in the city of Quilmes, whose majority was obtained by the formed Communist Party. The Republic of La Boca proclaimed itself "socialist, federal, parliamentary, egalitarian and internationalist" in the preamble of the first Constitution. In 2012, a civil war begins between Christians, Atheists, Muslims and Jews for supremacy as the official religion. The war ended with the Muslim victory, mainly Twelver Shiite, which took Avellaneda and Lanus, bastions belonging to the Sunnis. The Republic of La Boca reformed the Constitution for the second time in 2013, to declare itself a Lay State. Everything has been peace and prosperity since then for all the Boquenses, because with the passing of time the democratic regime has been consolidated, socioeconomic instabilities have been resolved, and men and women have been declared on an equal footing. With the arrival of Christianity in power in 2016, the Republic of La Boca forgot its atheist regimes, and constitutionally declared Eastern Orthodox Christianity as an "official" religion, based on respect for other religions.
[b][u][size=150][anchor=Geo]Geography[/anchor][/b][/u][/size]
The Boquense relief is mostly plain. In the northwest of the country the relief is of mountain, standing out Monte Palermo that measures 925 meters on the level of the sea. In the north of the country is the jungle, bathed by the Riachuelo and Tigre rivers, the longest in the country. The climate of the Republic of La Boca has a wide variety of climatic conditions in a large region with a varied topography, although it can be considered that most of the country has a tropical climate. According to the Köppen system, La Boca has six main climatic subtypes: equatorial, tropical, semi-arid, tropical at altitude, temperate and subtropical. The different climatic conditions produce environments that vary from the tropical forest in the north and the semi-arid regions of the northeast, to the temperate coniferous forest in the south and the central tropical savannas. Many other regions have totally different microclimates.
The equatorial climate is the one that predominates in a large part of the north of Boca. There is no dry season as such, although there are some variations in the amount of rainfall between each period of the year. The average temperature is 31.5 ° C, which has a greater variation between day and night than between seasons. The rains in the center of the Republic of La Boca are scarce, characteristic of a savanna climate. This region is as extensive as the Tigre basin but with a very different climate, since it is located further to the south and in a lower altitude. In the northeast, the difference in precipitation between the seasons is even more extreme, since this region of semi-arid climate generally receives less than 800 mm rainfall, most of it falls in a period that covers one to four months each year and, when there is less rain, there are long periods of drought. The "Great Drought" of 2016-2017 was the most severe in the country and caused the death of nearly half a million people. The absolute highest temperature is 52.3ºC, and the absolute lowest temperature is -7ºC.
The rich wildlife of the Republic of La Boca reflects the variety of natural habitats. Scientists estimate that the total number of plant and animal species in the country is approximately four million. Within the large mammals of Boquenses include pumas, jaguars, ocelots, vinegar foxes, foxes, coyamels, tapirs, anteaters, sloths, opossums and armadillos. Deer are abundant in the south and many species of platyrrhini can be found in the tropical rainforest of the North. According to data from 1993, the Republic of La Boca harbored then 69 of the 244 species of primates known on the planet. The concern for the environment grew in response to the global interest in environmental issues.
The natural heritage of the Republic of La Boca is seriously threatened by livestock, agriculture, forestry, mining, resettlement, extraction of oil and natural gas, overfishing, wildlife trade, dams and infrastructure , water pollution, climate change, fire and invasive species. In many areas of the country, the natural environment is threatened by urban development. The construction of roads in the middle of vegetation, such as LB-230 and LB-163, opened previously isolated areas to agriculture and commerce; the dams flooded valleys and wild habitats and the mines created scars on the land that altered the landscape.

The Boquense population increased significantly between 2014 and 2016, due to a decline in the mortality rate, at the same time that the birth rate also showed a slight decrease in the same period. In the decade of 2010, the annual demographic growth rate was 2.4%, rising to 3.0% in 2012 and remaining at 2.9% in 2015; life expectancy rose from 44 to 54 years and up to 72.6 years in the decade of 2010. The rate of population growth tended to decrease from 2016, from 3.04% between the years 2011-2014 to 1.13% in 2011, and will probably fall to a negative value of -0.29% in 2050, thus completing the demographic transition.
The largest metropolitan areas are those of Quilmes, Lanús, Avellaneda and Florencio Varela -all in the Southeast region- with 58.2; 45.9; 34.2 and 42.6 million inhabitants, respectively.

The legislative power is in charge of the Parliament and the Council of Ministers. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. In addition, it is a multiparty system.

[b][u][anchor=FRM]Foreign Relations and Military[/anchor][/b][/u]
The Republic of La Boca since its independence maintains diplomatic relations with almost all countries in the world, except the US, Saudi Arabia, and Spain. It also maintains a solid bilateral relationship with the countries of the Common Market of the South (MERCOSUR). The Republic of La Boca has never declared war on any foreign power, because it sees in the bilateral dialogue the solution to diplomatic conflicts. As for the Army, military service is mandatory for all men who do not attend secondary school, or for those who do not work. This is a government plan to combat the parasitism of the masses. Currently, the government allocates less and less budget to the military.

[size=150][b][u][anchor=Infra]Infrastructure[/anchor][/size][/b][/u]
In the Republic of La Boca, the construction of public works, that is, those works intended for common use, such as schools, hospitals, bridges, and roads, are partly financed by the State or by the Government itself. Lately, governments are betting on private labor, in search of "flexibilizing" communist policies. In large cities, especially in the capital Quilmes, hospitals are of very good quality in terms of infrastructure and medical care. There are only 4 private hospitals throughout the Boquense territory. Rail networks and trains were expropriated by the government in 2013, and since then there has been a severe improvement in terms of passenger comfort and the safety of railways, among others. The most important railway line is the one that connects the southern city of Florencio Varela with the central Colegiales, covering 37 kilometers away. The red, white or blue double-decker buses are very typical throughout the Republic of La Boca, following the British model as an example. They are all of very good quality, and are under private labor. A bus trip costs no more than 200 Boquense dracmas (NS $325).
