Federacion Iberiana

BACKGROUND
The Federacion Iberiana emerged from the continuous negotiations between the Basque people and the government of Spain. In return for recognition as citizens and the guarantee of all the rights and liberties thereof, the Basques disbanded such groups as the Euskadi Ta Askatasuna and entered into Iberian society as equals.

HISTORY
Despite an early dearth of technology and infrastructure, the Iberian people continued to work diligently, producing mainly wheat and spices for export. The entrance of the Federacion into the North Atlantic Defense Coalition brought with it a wealth of resources, including vast influxes of capital.

NADC membership suited the Federacion people well, and the government, despite a few changes in form, never failed to keep the people informed and happy. As a member of the NADC Tech Market, the nation's military began to grow, soon reaching elite status. After two Rogue Responses, the Federacion now stands as a member of the Cyprian Multi-National Division, and is prepared to fend off any foe... if there would ever be rogue in its strength range. The current range doesn't seem to include any idiots.

MILITARY
As a Colonel in the Coalition military, spaero2011 is in command of the Omega Division. With the Defense Department now operational, his duties have expanded greatly. The people of Federacion Iberiana are extremely proud of their leader, and fully support him in his endeavors.

GOVERNMENT
spaero2011 has been a fairly benevolent and competent ruler for the Federacion, leading them through Global War IV without incident and representing them to the NADC as a fair, reasonable people who will nevertheless not stand for oppression or intolerance. He has worked tirelessly within the NADC to increase participation by member nations in even the most basic of Coalition governance, and has led by example in this regard, as an apprentice within the Azure Mantle Graphics College, an active member of the Coalition military, a member of the Polar Bear Club, and an unofficial advocate of reason and security in the open forums of the Coalition.

DIPLOMACY
The Federacion has close ties diplomatically with two nations outside of the NADC: Jotenheim, led by Wishmaster and a member of the Sparta alliance, and Federación Atlántica, led by Jeff Miller and a member of the Allied Defense Network. Both rulers have proven themselves to be worthy allies, and despite the assertion that, "Nations do not have friends, they have interests," these nations have proven otherwise.
