Government
The República del Bexar is under the rule of a military governemnt. The Armed Forces took control at the behest of the people as a result in continued failures by a series of ineffectual civilian governments to control inflation and an economy spiralling out of control. All government positions are occupied by military leaders. The military's political power is supported by law and the society. There is still a civilian head of state in the form of the President, but the position is purely ceremonial and carries no political power.

The military government is known as the Junta Nacional de la Dirección which is also the highest legislative and judicial body in the republic.

Geography
The island of Bexar, from which the nation takes its name, is dominated by the mighty Rio Leon, which bisects the country in a roughly south/south-easterly direction. The navigable river dissects the rocky hills, springs and canyons of Marién province, the primary area for the quarrying of marble and then through the plains and rain forests of the Jaragua and Maguana regions. To the north-east of the country lies the mountainous Higüey region, which is the centre of the uranium mining industry.
