Continental North America

Canada became increasingly reliant on the United States of America after the United Kingdom capitulated to Germany. By 1962, the Dominion of Canada is a liberal democracy and an OFN member state.
- The Alliance: Canada is a founding member of the American-led Organization of Free Nations, aligning itself with the United States after Britain fell.
- Arch-Enemy: Given that Canada houses Elizabeth II and the original British government that fled the Isles after the Nazi invasion, it was inevitable that they would not recognize the German collaborationist government that overthrew them.
- The Assimilator: The Canadian government is carrying out a widespread campaign to assimilate the First Nations People into their own culture, primarily through the abusive residential schools that Native American children are forced into.
- Authority in Name Only: Officially, Westminster has ultimate authority over any law passed by the Canadian parliament. While this used to be a formality, the establishment of a fascist regime in Britain has prevented either side from being willing to conduct. As a result, many of Canada's subsequent legislation, along with the status of the former British colonies in the Atlantic and Caribbean, are in a constitutional gray area. Canada will need to assert sovereignty over their own constitution, which is a major focus of Pearson and Diefenbaker, and can potentially succeed two decades earlier than in OTL.
- The Bad Guy Wins: From the perspective of the First Nations; the Canadian Government's systematic colonial extermination of its Indigenous inhabitants unrestricted has by most accounts, already been achieved, with most information that comes out about its abuses being swept under the rug, and ignored by Government leadership, nor does any average Canadian actually care about the fate of the first nations. While there can be a few tenuous, token-ish reforms made to ever so slightly reduce the Governments gross mistreatment committed against the natives, no leadership path actually puts a stop to the government's genocidal policy against the indigenous in any meaningful way, much less ensure complete self-determination and national-independence of their nations from colonial control.
- Broken Win/Loss Streak: The 1967 federal elections are the first time where the CCF or Social Credit Party can potential triumph, presenting a major upset to the political scene and upending the Liberal and Tory dominance. Their victory is also highly symbolic because it occurs shortly before Canada's centennial anniversary, as if a new era has just begun for the coming century.
- Crapsack World: The Native Reservations in Canada are an abysmal place to live in. Barely any infrastructure, healthcare, or education is provided and the Canadian government is trying to outright assimilate the Native American population and erode their culture.
- Crippling Overspecialization: Canada has an incredibly close trading relationship with the United States... too close for its own good. If something happens to the American economy, it will also affect the Canadian economy. Case in point, Nixon's decision to take the dollar off of silver has hit Canada hard, especially in its Western provinces.
- Death or Glory Attack: To pass the patriation of Canada's Constitution, Pearson and Diefenbaker will need to negotiate with Parliament and Canada's ten provincial premiers. If that fails, they can try a risk circumventing their power and passing it on a legally shaky national referendum. If it passes, they will have completed one of their principal goals, albeit at the cost of public outroar and potential defeat in the next election. If it fails, it will be political deathblow to their administration and public trust.
- Despair Event Horizon: Canada's potential failure to patriate its constitution drives many of Britain's former colonies into chaos, as the people lose faith in Ottawa's ability to grant them independence due to infighting. Thus, many start looking to alternative options to gain said independence.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: As their interests are drowned out by the English-speaking majority population, the French-speaking Quebecois begrudge the government's negligence to their needs and demand more equal respect for their culture and heritage. If the government doesn't heed their demands, they may start resorting to violence to get their way.
- Evil Colonialist: Like in real life, the Canadian government's treatment of the First Nations has involved various means to exterminate indigenous identity, culture, traditions, and society, such could be seen with its use of the residential schooling system, which served to effectively "assimilate" and "re-educate" native children, and kill off their former way of life.
- The Exile: A number of British political figures and ideologues found exile in Canada following World War 2. However, they can be restored to power if HMMLR wins the British Civil War and Maxwell Knight reaches a deal with Jack Jones and the Left Resistance.
- Founding Day: July 1st, 1967 is Canada's centennial and millions jubilantly celebrate it, such as hosting a canoe race from the Rockies to Montreal or gathering in newly created community centers and parks. The years also sees Expo '67 held in Montreal, a world's fair where the nations of the world can display their various achievements.
- The Fundamentalist: Ignoring the obvious elephant in the room, The Social Credit Party base consists of many of these types. In the most extreme cases, they talk up Canada as a Christian nation and demonizing their enemies as Satan's agents.
- Gameplay and Story Segregation: In-universe, the Canadian Head of State is the Governor General, the representative of Queen Elizabeth II in Canada. However, the position is held by the Prime Minister (who would technically be the Head of Government instead) in the GUI to better reflect their greater role in the story.
- Government in Exile: Canada is home to Queen Elizabeth II's British government, which has been exiled from the United Kingdom since its defeat in World War II. In the absence of a legitimate British government, Canada is controlling Falklands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Turks and Caicos, Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha.
- Grew a Spine: The Tory, CCF, and Social Credit politicians recognize that they've become too dependent on the United States and want Canada to assert more of its autonomy. Even some Liberals, the most pro-OFN of all the parties, are divided on integrating further into the OFN.
- Historical Downgrade: OTL Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau is a small-time politician in Quebec. In a timeline where Europe lies under fascist domination, he was never able to embark on a series of world travels that changed his political beliefs and allowed him to rise to political prominence.
- I Am Who?: Canada has always questioned how closely it should tie itself to Britain. They both shared the same constitution and Canada was considered a dominion to Britain, until the latter was invaded by Germany, who set up a Nazi-collaborator government no longer recognized by the Commonwealth. Wondering what their new constitution should be and in charge of some of Britain's overseas territories, many Canadian citizens wonder what their national identity is and are given several opportunities to come up with one, like in the Great Canadian flag debate
. - Let No Crisis Go to Waste: If Pearson or Diefenbaker's risky referendum of passing patriation fails, the political outrage caused by it are exploited by the CCF and Social Credit Party to garner support, as anti-establishment sentiment soars.
- Magnum Opus: Canada hosts a world's fair, Expo '67, for their centennial anniversary, but the crown jewel of their exhibit is the man-made islands they've built in the Saint Lawrence River and the vast infrastructure projects being held.
- Meaningful Rename: Subverted. The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation never changed their name like in real-life, which subtly highlights some important divergences in this timeline. In OTL, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation rebranded itself as the New Democratic Party and adopted a more moderate political platform
. This was due to the CCF wanting to distance itself from its more radical origin as a socialist party. In TNO, there’s less of an urge to distance from socialism, so the party is still the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation in 1962. - Meet the New Boss: Many Caribbean colonies of Britain had hoped that their downfall would give them independence. Many were disappointed when Canada took over their duties and resumed the status quo, in which attempts to appeal for independence have been hindered by Canada's constitutional ambiguity. Whether or not Canada can patriate their Constitution and end Britain's authority over it is a major goal for the independence movements.
- The Olympics: The 1964 Winter Olympics were originally to be hosted in Innsbruck, but the German conflict following Hitler's death forces a relocation to Calgary instead. The Canadian government rushes to organize in just three months, but if they are successful, it is a huge boost to their pride, even if their teams come third in gold medal wins.
- Parental Abandonment: Canada was a Dominion of Britain, but they've been left on their own, ever since Operation Sea Lion destroyed their mother country. Combined with the influx of British exiles and the constitutional limbo, Canada rages with debates on what their national identity is, as some want to forge their own path and others want to keep their British ties. The debate has been especially inflamed by the British exiles who are reluctant to abandon their former identities and the increasingly hostile Quebecois nationalist sentiments.
- The Remnant: Under Queen Elizabeth II, Canada's the de facto heart of the "legitimate" Commonwealth, in contrast to the Nazi-collaborationist United Kingdom in London.
- Rule of Symbolism: Discussed in the Great Flag debate, which is tied to the debate over Canada's national identity. Some, especially the British exiles and Tories, favor the Union Jack because it ties them to their former mother country, but others, like the Liberals and CCF, prefer a different design as a sign that Canada will forge its own path by using their own imagery, like a maple leaf.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork:
- Politically, Canada can be split into a rivalry between the wealthier Eastern provinces and the more downtrodden Western provinces, the former of which was often favored by Canadian politicians, much to the detriment of the latter. The rivalry has grown so bitter that the Western territories have begun considering more pragmatic solutions to alleviate their economic woes, even if it harms the country as a whole.
- The Liberal Party is divided on how to manage Canada's position within the OFN, as one faction favors further economic integration and other wishes to reduce their economic dependence on the the United States. Maintaining unity here is a major issue for Pearson, who may have to give concessions like limiting Albertan oil exports to America.
- The Social Credit Party is divided between the Québécois and Albertan wings of the party. The Québécois wing strongly believes in C.H. Douglas’s economic theories and is more antisemitic. The Albertan branch of the party is more pragmatic in their politics, caring less about the specifics of Douglas’s economic ideas, and is more religious than their Québécois counterparts. If elected, Caouette will have to whip the Albertan Socreds into supporting his policies, and rivals such as Pearson can exploit these divisions for political gain.
- Western Terrorists: Québécois terrorist groups, from the Marxist Front de libération du Québec to the fascist Front de l'Unité Nationale du Québec have long been a thorn in the side of the Canadian government.
- Would Be Rude to Say "Genocide": Nearly all information about the government's active participation in genocide against its first nation population is usually swept under the rug, or otherwise ignored by its leadership and the wider populace.
- Would Hurt a Child: All potential Canadian prime ministers have no moral scruples with the government's utilization of residential schools against indigenous children, which OTL led to countless forms of neglect and abuse against indigenous children, including many deaths, something which the true scale of is still only recently being brought to light.
- You Are in Command Now: With the British Isles taken over by Germany, the remnants of the British Empire were transferred to Canada. Stuck in an imperial limbo, Canada isn't sure what to do with its island vassals besides maintain their garrisons or wait for HMMLR to win the Second General Uprising and return the territories back to Britain.
Lester B. Pearson

Pearson is a career politician, having served as High Commissioner of Canada for the United Kingdom until Operation Sea Lion. Following his return, Pearson entered federal politics, first as an MP and later as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. He called for closer ties to the United States, and for strengthening the OFN against its rivals. His rhetoric was a success, and he led the Liberals to a massive victory against the Progressive Conservatives, ending their decade-long government.
- The Ace: Pearson is well-known for being one of the most skilled diplomats of his time, having strengthened Canada's ties to the OFN and organizing nonpartisan efforts to boost Canada's reputation to non-aligned nations.
- Affectionate Nickname: Pearson is known by his nickname "Mike"note .
- The Face: Pearson was a diplomat representing Canada to the United Kingdom from 1935 and then the United States from 1942, before assisting the foreign ministry during his time as an MP after 1946. Thus, Pearson is one of the most recognized Canadian politicians in the 50's for improving his country's international prestige.
- Passing the Torch: Regardless of the 1963 election's outcome, Pearson will retire and John Turner becomes the Liberals' new leader.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Besides the promise of a new constitution with strengthened federal power and cultural rights, and universal healthcare after reelection, Pearson also vows to address the issues of the disaffected Quebecois and Western Canadians, aware of their grievances with the status quo.
- Team Spirit: Pearson advocates for a closer relationship with the USA and the OFN, having been a diplomat for the alliance since the 1950's and pivoting Canada away from its past Dominion status to Britain.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Pearson can potentially lose reelection in 1963 and step down in favor of the federal election's winner.
John Diefenbaker

Diefenbaker is no stranger to conflict, having served with distinction during the First World War. He is a career politician, having been in the house the longest out of Pearson and Douglas. However, his time in politics has worn him out, and his defeat to the Liberals have tarnished his reputation within the Tories. His goals, should he be reelected, is to lessen the dependence Canada has on the United States.
- The Cassandra: Diefenbaker strongly opposed free trade because it would cede Canadian independence to the American sphere of influence. However, few listened to him because the Progressive Conservatives had lost most of their influence to the Liberal Party, but his fears did come true, as the United States practically dictates Canada's foreign and domestic policies.
- Choosing Neutrality: Downplayed. He'll stay in the OFN, but Diefenbaker will distance Canada from the United States on economic and foreign policy matters, instead relying on Canada's connections with the Commonwealth and potentially Britain, if HMMLR's uprising is successful.
- Do Not Go Gentle: Diefenbaker can be ousted as leader, but he doesn't resign without getting into a public feud with Stanfield.
- Dry Crusader: Under Diefenbaker's leadership, members of the Progressive Conservatives are prohibited from drinking alcohol or smoking cigars during meetings. If Stanfield becomes the party's leader, many members are pleased they can now enjoy those luxuries.
- Good Old Ways: Diefenbaker prefers to live an old-fashioned life, such as taking whistle-stop tours during his political campaigns.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: Subverted. If Diefenbaker's referendum on the Constitution fails, his administration will sink as unrest spreads across the country. Despite the many calls for his resignation, Diefenbaker refuses to do so, which only worsens the political crisis.
- My Greatest Second Chance: Diefenbaker has always held ambitious goals and once had a term from 1959-1961, but it ended disastrously because of internal fighting and economic recession. That can all change if he gets elected in the 1963 election, where he promises a new Constitution of populistic civil liberty and pro-Commonwealth agendas, economic development in the Far North, and bridging the divide between Quebec and the West.
- Resigned in Disgrace: Diefenbaker can be forced to resign by a coalition of disgruntled Progressive Conservative members, with Robert Stanfield becoming the party's new leader. This outcome is guaranteed to happen if he loses the 1963 federal election, so he can only run in 1967 if it is for reelection.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: Despite his numerous attempts, Diefenbaker has never won an election and his party hasn't established a majority for the past 30 years, which has worn Diefenbaker down. In 1963, however, the tides can change and get Diefenbaker finally elected.
John Turner

- But Not Too Foreign: Turner was born in Richmond, Surrey in England, and moved to British Columbia with his Canadian mother in 1932 after his father died.
- Historical Badass Upgrade: In our timeline Turner was only Prime Minister for a few months before being defeated by Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservatives in a landslide victory.
- New Era Speech: In preparation for his 1967 campaign, Turner sermonizes to an audience of young Liberals about how he'll lead Canada into a new age without poverty and unemployment.
- Taking Up the Mantle: Turner vows to continue and expand upon the progress made by the Pearson government.
- Young and in Charge: At only 37 years of age, Turner is set to be the youngest Prime Minister in Canada's history.
- Young Future Famous People: Turner became Prime Minister of Canada in our timeline but not until 1984.
Robert Stanfield

- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Stanfield will become the leader of the Progressive Conservatives if Diefenbaker is forcefully resigned from the position, with many Progressive Conservatives hoping that he'll realign the party to a "true blue conservative vision".
- You Are in Command Now: If Diefenbaker is no longer the Tories' leader, Stanfield is promoted in his place and becomes their candidate for the 1967 federal elections.
Tommy Douglas

Initially studying to become a Baptist minister, Douglas instead entered politics in when elected to the House of Commons in 1935. He quickly rose in the ranks of the party, becoming premier of Saskatchewan, and later leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). His progressive stances, particularly his support for universal healthcare, has seen him rise in prominence in Canada, his popularity with the people making him a formidable rival to the Liberals and Tories.
- The Ace: Douglas is extremely charismatic, quickly becoming one of the most popular politicians in Canada and turning the once-small CCF into a viable opponent to the Liberal establishment
- The Atoner: Having witnessed the Nazi eugenics program during a visit to Germany in 1936, Douglas has abandoned his previous support of the practice, and is haunted by his previous advocacy of it.
- But Not Too Foreign: Douglas was born in Scotland in 1904 and moved to Canada with his family in 1910, settling in Winnipeg.
- Dark Secret: In 1930, Douglas obtained his master's degree by writing a thesis which endorsed eugenics. note Nevertheless, he managed to become a beloved figure in Canadian politics, but must still strive to at least partially keep his eccentric past, particularly this thesis, under wraps.
- Good Shepherd: When studying theology in the Baptist Brandon College, Douglas subscribed to the Social Gospel Movement, which taught that Christianity was as concerned with social justice as it was with salvation. This led him to pursue a political career and advocate for numerous social programs, particularly universal health care.
- Preacher Man: Douglas was initially studying to become a Baptist minister. He instead entered politics and has used the skills he learned in college in his speeches and when speaking in parliament.
- Understatement: His biography mentions that he wrote an "interesting" thesis paper during his college education, which is a rather indirect way of saying that he wrote an essay endorsing eugenics.
Réal Caouette

- Choosing Neutrality: Caouette is the most skeptical Prime Minister regarding Canada's membership in the OFN. While he won't leave the alliance, he'll start opening relations to Germany and Japan.
- Dark Horse Victory: To the shock of many Canadians, the Social Credit Party can not only just win the most seats, but also a commanding majority of seats in the House of Commons.
- Dragon Ascendant: Caouette formed the Francophone wing of the Social Credit Party in 1957, which remained loyal to the Social Credit ideology. While the Western Social Credit party lost ground to the Tories in 1961, the Quebecois wing continued to grow and Caouette was eventually became the Party's leader.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Réal loves and praises his son Gilles for his political successes and the feeling is mutual.
- Hated by All: At least in the political arena, Caouette is the least popular man running in the 1964 election. Were it not for the Social Credit Party winning a majority of seats, the Liberals, Conservatives, and even the CCF would’ve worked together to keep them out of power.
- Large Ham: Given his background as a travelling car dealer, Caouette is an electrifyingly charismatic firebrand. His speeches, during which he often shouts and waves his fists, draw thousands even when they have to sit outside in the rain to hear him.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Caouette is known for his antisemitism and inflammatory statements. He has openly praised the economic policies of Mussolini and Hitler and has called them his political heroes.
- President Evil: Caouette, who can be elected no less democratically than any other potential Prime Minister of Canada, is a rabid right-wing populist ideologue and an antisemite with a disturbing fondness of fascism.
- Taking Up the Mantle: Caouette sees himself as the champion of C.H. Douglas' economic theories, even if the old guard of the Social Credit party has since dropped the ideology and see Caouette as a radical.
- Villain with Good Publicity: Caouette has significant support in Quebec for advocating greater Francophone representation in Canadian politics and for his populist appeal to traditional social values. Despite being a federalist, Caouette tapped into the nationalist sentiment in Quebec, and his promises to give everyone free money appealed to those struggling within the province, due to the Great Depression's lasting effects—you don't have to understand Social Credit to vote for it.
- Windmill Crusader: Caouette thinks that all of his country's problems can be pinned on a Zionist and Masonic conspiracy to line their pockets with stolen money from the average Canadian. It's an odd and anti-Semitic theory, but many believe in his convictions and support his crusade to fight against them by targeting the Bank of Canada, a supposedly major front for this conspiracy.
Ernst Manning

- Artifact Name: Manning leads the old guard Albertan faction within the Social Credit Party, even though they have since dropped Douglas' economic theories in favor of more pragmatic policies and Christian fundamentalism. He sticks with the name Social Credit just for its legacy in politics.
- The Fundamentalist: He is an evangelical Christian who believes that Canada can only survive if it bends to his religion and stays out of the supposedly inevitable and satanic war between Japan and the United States.
- Red Scare: Manning is comically anti-socialist and hates everything that calls itself socialism (in real life, he said the CCF were no different from the Nazis because they're both 'socialists').
- The Rival: As Caouette's main rival within the Social Credit Party, Manning views him as a dangerous radical and a threat, if he becomes Prime Minister.
Upcoming Content
- Know When to Fold 'Em: In the teased "Painting Over the Cracks" event, Canada acknowledges that their hold over the British West Indies is weaker than ever and that the region's calls for independence are becoming louder every day. Seeing the writing on the wall, they work within West Indies Commission to create the West Indies Federation and thereby grant their independence.
- The Paranoiac: The Caribbean starting situation teaser reveals that after the collapse of the British Empire, Canada moved to take over and stabilise British Honduras. However, this has resulted in Ottawa getting stuck in a quagmire of its own creation as the popular PUP was banned, creating insurgents that further militarised the colony. Additionally, Guatemalan irredentist claims have also ensured that Canada cannot simply withdraw. This has led to a state of paranoia as everyone knows the status quo cannot stand.
- Reluctant Ruler: The Caribbean starting situation teaser describes how the Canadian government want to rid themselves of having to rule over British Honduras, but are too paranoid about giving group to the PUP insurgents or Guatemala.
- Vestigial Empire: When Britain fell in World War II, Operation Vector was authorized to hand control of the British West Indies to Canada. This would ensure that they wouldn't fall to the Axis Powers and that the British Empire's institutions could be maintained. Two decades have passed, and the Caribbean starting situation teaser shows that little has changed from this status quo. British Honduras, Jamaica, the Bahamas, the Leeward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, and the Windward Islands are all still considered British territories owned by Canada. Giving these territories independence would cost Canada a valuable bargaining chip against the collaborators in Britain, so they have a strong incentive to keep them in line. However, their hold is becoming increasingly unpopular among the Caribbean people and even the United States is starting to lose patience with them.

For its tropes, see the dedicated United Mexican States subpage.

A former Danish Realm territory. Occupied by the United States during WWII, it entered the Cold War as a de facto US territory. Changing geopolitical circumstances in the North Atlantic can lead to the USA granting Greenland its independence.
- Allohistorical Allusion:
- Greenland's military and geopolitical importance to the United States mirrors that of OTL, with a Thule Base being the largest point of operation. The US Government also still attempts to conduct Project Iceworm, which would build a vast network of tunnels to store nuclear missiles within the Greenlandic ice sheet and could survive a first strike, even though the project is abandoned, like in OTL, because of shifting ice sheets.
- Greenland's politics in this timeline mirrors that of OTL, with the United States taking up the role of Denmark by ruling what is effectively a colony, with little to no regard for the natives. A home-rule movement grows and agitates for their autonomy, with the movement headed by the same figures and parties as OTL Greenland.
- Several OTL projects like Project Earthworm and Operation Chrome Dome are underway in Greenland, but now aimed at countering Nazi Germany instead of the Soviet Union.
- Authority in Name Only: The Greenland Provincial Council, combined with the Danish colonial administration after the United States inherited it, is nominally the sole legislative entity in Greenland and representative of the Greenlandic people via elections. In practice, though, it's a powerless rubber stamp for American civilian and military officials. Changing this status and giving it actual power is one of the main goals of Greenland's home-rule movement.
- Beyond the Impossible: The idea of an independent Greenland was virtually unthinkable a decade ago, yet it somehow comes to reality, if Iceland turns against the OFN.
- Bread and Circuses: When multiple news outlets report on the United States' mismanagement of Greenland, the ambiguous legal status of the island, and the high unemployment, a series of reforms are rolled out to address some of the issues and keep the populace happy, with a particular focus on investing in Greenland's fishing industry to open more jobs. However, since this will take multiple years, their immediate action is just trying to soothe concerns and the United States will still benefit from the arrangement by branching Greenland's uses out of the military.
- Dawn of an Era:
- The 1971 Greenland Provincial Council election is a significant turning point for the home-rule movement and the country as a whole, as Motzfeldt, Olsen, and Johansen are elected as members of the Siumut party, and Chemnitz is elected as an independent. For everyone, the status quo has been forever upended, as the former celebrates their victory together and a satisfied Chemnitz drinks a mug of coffee from his modest home.
- Greenland's independence signifies a new era where Greenlandic citizens will have a greater stake in their country's future, with vigorous debates on all matters arising. No matter the problems faced, there is a determination to face them head on and the crowds applaud at the historic moment.
- Day in the Life: An event details the daily routine of a Greenlandic fisherman, who dresses in haphazard garb, travels from his cheap home to the West side of Nuuk every cold morning, passes freezing beggars on his way to the docks, and sets sail in the Atlantic with his fellow fishermen. It's not a comfortable life, but it is the only place where he feels free.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: After long being disrespected by the United States, Greenland catches something of a break after the Iceland 1971 elections finish and their own storyline concludes. What they get depends on the aforementioned proxy conflict's outcome.
- If the pro-OFN Icelandic coalition is elected, the Greenlandic home-rule movement maintains its momentum with the Provincial Council to negotiate some socioeconomic reforms with the United States. While independence is not granted, there is a united resolve that they can finally shape their own future.
- If the anti-OFN Icelandic coalition is elected, the American government pivots their strategy and negotiates with the Provincial Council to grant independence; parliamentary elections are scheduled and the Council can continue governing day-to-day affairs in the interim.
- Elaborate Underground Base: Subverted. Project Iceworm is an attempted project to build over 4,000 km of tunnels in the Greenland ice sheet, which would store 600 nuclear missiles to strike Germany and be protected by the ice and frequent rotations. However, only 3 km of the tunnels are completed, operating out of Camp Century with a small nuclear reactor and railway tracks, before the base is abandoned, due to tunnel collapses from the shifting ice sheets.
- Forced from Their Home: A fire burns down a residential sector in Nuuk, which forces all of the residents to take refuge in churches, with their friends, or on the streets, before congregating in a tent city near the docks. Unfortunately, the American military police force everyone out when a supply ship arrives, using tear gas under the justification that it is "counter-riot procedures".
- Hope Spot:
- With socioeconomic inequality between Americans and natives on the rise and the education system in a dire state, the Greenland Provincial Council tries to meet in 1967, hoping to assert its authority for the first time and actually tackle these issues. Unfortunately, this optimism proves short-lived, as American representatives crack down on this and leverage their economic stranglehold to coerce the Council back into inactivity.
- Downplayed. Despite being elected in 1971, Siumut's push for independence may be delayed if a pro-OFN coalition takes power in the OFN, slowing down the separatist momentum in Greenland. However, the party's leaders are determined to continue organizing and overcoming the setback.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Operation Chrome Dome is a proposed plan to deter German or Japanese aggression by flying B-52 nuclear bombers for intimidation and a preventative measure. This backfires when an accident near the Thule Air Base results in one of these plans crashing and releases their radioactive material. The resultant cleanup and media attention sparks outrage from all Greenlandic citizens for the mishandling, as they demand an end to Chrome Dome and even Germany joins in the condemnation. It's not a huge loss to the United States, but their reputation is irreversibly tainted by this.
- In Spite of a Nail:
- The Thule Base Accident still happens in TNO in January 1968, where the pilots of a B-52 nuclear bomber is forced to evacuate without any safety measures, resulting in the plane crashing.
- Despite the differing circumstances, an independent Greenland will adopt the same flag as in OTL, designed by the same man and Greenlandic Minister of Culture, Thue Christiansen. The same debate even arises, with an alternative Nordic cross being a popular contender, but Christiansen's design wins by a narrow margin and, a few days later, the flag is proudly flown in Nuuk.
- Inciting Incident: The Thule Accident sparks public outrage of American nuclear weapons being stationed in Greenland, giving the momentum needed for the independence movement to build their numbers and host a Siumut conference in a packed lecture hall.
- Island Base: Greenland is a large example of this for the OFN. Greenland's size and position gives it massive geopolitical value in securing the North Atlantic and the Arctic, with Thule Base being their main headquarters on the island. If Iceland leaves the OFN, there is a much greater incentive to keep Greenland happy by granting their independence as a full-fledged OFN member and funneling more investments to it.
- Let No Crisis Go to Waste:
- Motzfeldt and Olsen use the Thule Accident to propel the Siumut party into the spotlight, hosting a conference where they make passionate calls for independence to a captivated crowd.
- Greenlandic separatist movements use Iceland's potential exit from the OFN as a reason to pressure America into granting independence. They also use the situation to draw greater OFN investments as the United States wants to keep Greenland loyal and secure the Thule Base.
- If Iceland leaves the OFN, Siumut and its leaders will use the situation to organize their own protests on Greenland's west coast. The situation prompts the humiliated American government to start a commission, evaluating Greenland's status and agreeing to grant them independence.
- Meet the New Boss: The United States inherited the colonial structure of the previous Danish administration, even though the official status of Greenland is left ambiguous. In general, the United States has little respect for the island, often mismanaging it and empowering apathetic or incompetent American administrators.
- Metaphorically True: When the Greenland Provincial Council drop their proposed reforms, they officially justify that they "lacked the necessary support" to see them through, even though their ideas are widely popular throughout the citizenry. However, it's not technically untrue; the Americans aren't going to support the proposed legislation and their word is all that matters.
- Nature Is Not Nice:
- Being so near the North Pole, harsh winters are a part of daily life in Greenland, reducing their living standards and only mitigated by foreign funds.
- In one particular case, two American soldiers describe one of their colleagues locking himself in his bunk for a day and ending up in the emergency room for it. It shows that, no matter how familiar the American settlements are to an average neighborhood, it's still a harsh life in Greenland.
- Never My Fault: In reaction to the tent city of Nuuk being dismantled, an American administrator rushes to his superior and constantly checks out the window for anyone following before decrying about the "Commies" rightfully exposing the injustice carried out by American soldiers.
- No Sympathy:
- Despite a fire rendering many Nuuk citizens homeless, an American deckhand only complains about how they've set up a tent city on the docks and doesn't care about the American military police kicking them out. Two of the soldiers are stunned by this callousness and it inspires them to take a photograph of the unjust scene to share with the world.
- When the photos leak American oppression of the Nuuk homeless population, some Americans are still unsympathetic to the victims, merely worried about how this will affect the American occupation of the island.
- Occupiers Out of Our Country: Siumut, a political party founded in 1970, runs in the 1971 Provincial Council Elections to advocate Greenland's independence and a socialist government, being the first party of its type in the country. Its formation sparks a political revolution as other parties follow suit and Siumut's youth wing explodes into a popular, radical organization.
- Puppet State: Though independent, Greenland is still flooded with OFN funds and personnel, who are desperate to maintain control of the Thule Base and the North Atlantic.
- Rule of Symbolism: Discussed after Greenland's independence is granted and the Provincial Council decides on a national flag. Thue Christiansen presents one design, with the stylized circle representing the sun rising over the ice sheets, with the red and white representing Denmark.
- Settling the Frontier: A few American bases have towns built alongside them, made up of the crews' family members. These towns are modeled after average American towns to make the soldiers feel at home. Beyond that, main settlements like Nuuk also have American families moving in around the docks, at the expense of the locals.
- Sucky School: The poor state of Greenland's education system is one of the country's biggest problems and a consequence of the United States' reluctance to approve major reforms from the native politicians.
- Took a Level in Cheerfulness: An American soldier is initially crushed to serve in Greenland, but changes his mind when finds it closer to home than he expected and particularly enjoys spending time in an American-built town next to a base.
Jonathan Motzfeldt

- Foregone Victory: Motzfeldt's Siumut party is guaranteed to win the first parliamentary election if Greenland declares independence, as a reward for their part in this momentous achievement and a victory over their opposition, the Atassut.
- Founder of the Kingdom: He is widely acknowledged as the Father of Greenland, having advocated its autonomy a decade before it was officially attained and being a founding father for the general independence movement.
- Occupiers Out of Our Country: Motzfeldt is a leading figure in the Greenlandic independence movement, flirting with these ideas after his time in Canada and building this movement to oppose American domination.
- Old Friend: Motzfeldt is a life-long friend of Moses Olsen, being leading Greenlandic separatists. Motzfeldt was even a priest at Olsen's wedding in Sisimiut, after they returned from their educations abroad.
- Taught by Experience: Motzfeldt is directly inpsired by the Quebecois independence movement, having spent his time studying in Canada and taking an interest in the political scene.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: While Motzfeldt works alongside other Siumut figures to promote home rule, there is some tension over his loud personality and the possibility that he will sideline other figures in the party.
- Turbulent Priest: Motzfeldt is a priest who lamented Greenland's lack of political representation while studying theology in Canada. Since then, he's been a forefront activist for Greenland autonomy.
- You Remind Me of X: Motzfeldt connects the Quebecois independence movement to his own party in Greenland, even if Quebec is more important to Canada than Greenland is to America. It is the determination of this movement that inspires Motzfeldt to start his own version of it in his homeland.
Moses Olsen
- Occupiers Out of Our Country: Moses Olsen helps organize one of the country's first political movements to demand Greenland's independence and greater status than a mere American military playground.
- Taught by Experience: Olsen spends his further education in Iceland to study Literature and History, where he gets to taste the consequences of America's occupation in the island. Drawing similarities to the United States' influence in his own country, Olsen resolves to organize a Greenlandic independence movement.
Lars Chemnitz
- Everyone Has Standards: Even though Chemnitz is pro-American, he is deeply frustrated by their refusal to reform the current state of Greenland, since they can clearly afford to give Greenland some autonomy.
- Internal Reformist: He has misgivings about the United States, but still believes in their promises of security. Thus, much to the chagrin of his fellow party members, he cooperates with them to make reforms to Greenland's administration and can persuade the population to do the same, if a pro-OFN government is elected in Iceland.
- It's Personal: Lars Chemnitz sees the failures of Greenland's education system up-close as School Inspector of Illilissat. Praised for his work by the Greenland Provincial Council, Chemnitz finally gets into the political scene after his many reform proposals go ignored.
Lars-Emil Johansen
- Jumped at the Call: During his studies to become a teacher, Johansen is among the thousands who are furious at the Thule Accident and attends a conference held by Motzfeldt and Olsen. Enamored by their calls for independence, Johansen becomes a sympathizer to the movement. Once he finishes his education, he joins their movement when it becomes a political party in 1970 and even signs up for the 1971 election, encouraging others to do the same.
Central America

- Arch-Enemy: Guatemala is British Honduras' top rival in Central America, constantly aggravating and threatening to invade them. Even if Belize sheds its colonial identity and adopts a new flag and name, Guatemala will still bear a grudge and denounce Britain for creating an "artificial nation".
- Irredentism: Guatemala contests ownership of everything up to the southern half of Belize. The dispute started over colonial agreements between the Spanish and British that allowed British settlers to live in the region under Spanish control during the 18th Century. Guatemala inherited the Spanish colonial claims, Britain asserted control over the territory after 1859, and both countries have been in conflict because of it.
- Occupiers Out of Our Country: Exploited by Guatemalan nationalists who argue that Belize was part of the Spanish Empire and that the agreements between Britain and Spain were violated when Britain took the territory for themselves. As such, they see Belize as a remnant of a dead colonial empire, currently occupying Guatemalan territory.
Luis Cardoza y Aragón

- We Hardly Knew Ye: Luis Cardoza y Aragón will only stay in power for a very short while before he is couped by Ydígoras Fuentes and the National Front.
Miguel Ydígoras Fuentes

- The Coup: In 1962, Fuentes will seize power in a coup, deposing Luis Cardoza y Aragón.
Tropes pertaining to future content
- Bullying a Dragon: In response to the Legion's failed invasion, as shown in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, the Guatemala navy misidentifies some Mexican fishing vessels for Legion warships and sinks them. Knowing that Mexico will respond badly to this, Ydígoras orders an intentional, pre-emptive strike on the border before Guatemala's larger neighbor organizes itself.
- Emergency Authority: When war with Mexico breaks out in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, Ydígoras announces emergency measures that dissolves the ruling military junta and centralizes power to himself.
Guatemala Update
Upcoming content coming in future Latin American updates.- Disaster Dominoes: In the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, the Caribbean Legion tries to invade Guatemala, but fails. But this indirectly triggers a larger war with Mexico when Guatemala sinks their fishing vessels during the conflict.
- Enemy Mine: The Caribbean starting situation teaser reveals that the Guatemalan government has lent support to PUP aligned guerillas in British Honduras despite Guatemala's own irredentist ambitions on the colony.
- Evil Colonialist: Mexican private enterprises exploit the occupation of Guatemala in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser. They plan to make a quick profit by extracting their resources, which isn't helped by the Mexican government's reluctance to invest into Guatemala's reconstruction.
- Guilt by Association: During the Mexican occupation in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, entire Mayan communities are massacred under the suspicion of harboring guerrillas, furthered by the racial prejudice of the Mexican Armed Forces.
- History Repeats: Invoked in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser. The Mexican authorities hope to repeat the Mexican Miracle with the Guatemalan reconstruction, where they open the country to foreign investors and use the corporatist system to keep wages and welfare spending low.
- Leonine Contract: After a failed reconstruction effort in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, the new Guatemalan government is left with little economic support from Mexico or the foreign investors. Thus, they are dependent on a handful of Mexican conglomerates to keep them afloat as a corporate oligopoly.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Racial prejudice against indigenous peoples is widespread among the Mexican Armed Forces who occupy Guatemala in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser. It's common practice for them to wipe out Mayan communities that are suspected of harboring rebels.
- Puppet State: After being invaded by Mexico in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, Guatemala is turned into a puppet state that mimics the PRI's despotic rule, enables Mexican corporations to extract their resources, and force them into the Veracruz Pact.
- La Résistance: In the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, Mexico's occupation of Guatemala faces resistance from left-wing and right-wing guerrillas who draw support from the remnants of the old regime, left-wing dissidents, and the Mayan community. In turn, the Mexican Armed forces employs brutal anti-partisan efforts against them.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here!:
- Following the teased Mexican-Guatemalan War, foreign investors, especially those from Japan and the United States, flee the country. This makes the reconstruction effort difficult and dependent on the Mexican occupiers.
- If the reconstruction fails in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, the Mexican conglomerates cancel their agricultural projects, out of fear that the local insurgency will grow after Mexico's withdrawal.
Hermenegildo Cuenca Díaz

- Ambition Is Evil: Cuenca Díaz has long hungered for power, and eagerly accepted the job of governing Guatemala and establishing a collaborationist regime in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, in the hopes this will boost his influence in Mexico and perhaps win himself the Presidency.
- Disappointing Promotion: As shown in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, Cuenca Díaz tried to become Governor of Baja California to dabble in PRI politics, but he only got the disappointing post of a Senator for the state.
- Old Soldier: Cuenca Díaz has been involved in the military since he was eighteen years old in 1920, attending a military college and marching alongside President Carranza before the latter's assassination. Since then, Cuenca Díaz has risen the ranks of the Mexican military, enough to be entrusted with the occupation of Guatemala in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser.
- Reassigned to Antarctica: Cuenca Díaz peaked as Chief of the Presidential General Staff under President Alemán, but has since been relegated to the Tlaxcala military district during the Cortines administration. In the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, he's motivated to claw his way back by involving himself in PRI politics in Baja California.
- A Scar to Remember: Cuenca Díaz suffered two wounds from fighting in a post-revolutionary Mexico, which is one possible reason for why he's so ambitious.
- Short-Lived Leadership: In the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, he doesn't intend to govern Guatemala for very long. The ultimate objective is to establish a friendly collaborator regime, destroy the resistance, and stabilize the situation enough to satisfy Mexico and withdraw their troops.
- Villainous Friendship: As mentioned in his teased biography, Cuenca Díaz leverages his ties with Echeverría to gain influence within the PRI, which promoted him to Senator for Baja California.
Manuel Colom Argueta
- Historical Villain Upgrade: In OTL, Colom was involved in left-wing dissident movements throughout the 1960s in opposition to the military dictatorship, before becoming Mayor of Guatemala City from 1970-1974 and getting assassinated for his opposition activities. In TNO, he remains active in the dissident movements, but the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser shows him as a pawn for Mexico who helps establish a "revolutionary", pseudo-democratic dictatorship, modeled after the PRI and established after Mexico's invasion of Guatemala.
- Landslide Election: Regardless of how successful Mexico's reconstruction is in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, Manuel Colom Argueta and the URD will win a supermajority through fraudulent means. However, the degree of opposition to the results will vary, depending on the reconstruction. If it failed, the opposition easily notices the Mexican authorities' more blatant cheating and decries the results, downplaying this trope.
- A Lighter Shade of Black: From the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, Colom advocates for sweeping revolutionary reforms and development programs for Guatemala, in defiance to the military junta that preceded the Mexican invasion. Still, he relies on dictatorial means to hold onto power, much like the PRI from Mexico.
- Puppet King: Colom is put into power after Mexico's occupation of Guatemala in the "A Tale of Two Revolutions" teaser, where he leads a puppet government that emulates the PRI's governance and brings Guatemala into the Veracruz Pact.

- Arch-Enemy: British Honduras' main threat is Guatemala, who have territorial claims of everything up to the southern half of Belize. With Guatemalan nationalists agitating for military invasion, Belize is dependent on their guarantee from the OFN.
- Broken Win/Loss Streak: The PUP has dominated the political scene since their foundation in 1950, so it is a major upset if the NIP wins the 1965 general elections.
- Hope Spot: Many Belizeans hoped that the fall of the British Empire would bring their country's independence, but they were disappointed when Canada picked up the reins and Guatemalan military aggression killed any chance of breaking free.
- Luck-Based Mission: Whether or not Goldson wins the first election, allowing the OFN to have closer ties with Belize, is dependent on Free Britain winning the British Civil War, something that is out of the hands of America.
- Magnum Opus: After Belize City was destroyed by Hurricane Hattie in 1961, the government will spend years and millions of dollars to create a new capital named Belmopan. Belmopan is located far from the sea, features better precautions for natural disasters, and has a beautiful architectural design. When completed, it will be hailed as one of Belize's greatest accomplishments and the government hopes that its citizens can have a new start there.
- Meaningful Name: British Honduras' new capital is Belmopan, a portmanteau of Belize and the Mopan river, which runs into the country.
- Meaningful Rename: If Belize negotiates with Free Britain for greater autonomy on the road to independence, they will shed the name "British Honduras" and become Belize, along with a new flag, to show that they have forged their own identity and place in the world.
- Meet the New Boss: Canada has begrudgingly become the new colonial overlord over British Honduras, since the British Empire was destroyed. To the chagrin of the independence movement, Belizean autonomy cannot be granted because of Canada's constitutional limbo, meaning that such a drastic action is questionably illegitimate. It's also not helped that Belize City was destroyed by Hurricane Hattie and Guatemala threatens to invade them, meaning that British Honduras must stick with the unpleasant situation, at least, temporarily.
- Nature Is Not Nice: Hurricane Hattie destroyed 70% of Belize City and killed hundreds, crippling Belize and its economy and making many consider moving their capital elsewhere.
- Occupiers Out of Our Country: The entire country of Belize and its political leadership wish to shed their colonial past. With the fall of the British Empire, Belize has remained chained under a foreign name, flag, and political system, complicated by the country under Canada's jurisdiction, ensuring that any changes to the status quo are constitutionally ambiguous.
- Protectorate: British Honduras has no standing army of its own, so it is completely reliant on the OFN's protection against would-be invaders, especially against Guatemala. The destruction of Belize City in Hurricane Hattie also means they are reliant on OFN financial aid, which they need to rebuild their capital and potentially construct Belmopan. However, this status also undermines their independence movement because leaving the OFN is practically inviting a Guatemalan invasion.
- The Remnant: British Honduras is one of the few colonies left from the British Empire, who still swear fealty to Queen Elizabeth II in Canada and uses the Union Jack on their flag. If HMMLR wins the British Civil War, they will be returned to the United Kingdom. However many Belizeans are sick of the arrangement and want to shed their legacy as a British colony. If the OFN offers minimal funding to build Belmopan, they will go through with it.
George Cadle Price

- The Cynic: Price wants to negotiate British Honduras' independence from Canada, but he's cynical about the chances of that.
Philip Goldson

- Dark Horse Victory: Goldson's victory in the 1965 elections is a shocking outcome, breaking away from the decades-long status quo of PUP domination.
- The Determinator: Goldson has spent his entire life advocating for independence, involved in nationalist newspapers and trade unions before entering politics.
- The Idealist: Compared to Price, Goldson is far more optimistic for Belize's independence, having a vision for an international, independent Belize that works with the other free democracies of the world hand-in-hand in the fight against tyranny.
- Realpolitik: Though many clamor for independence, Goldson believes in fostering diplomacy with Free Britain and the United States, strengthening British Honduras' position in the OFN to ward off Guatemalan aggression.

However, the border conflict with Guatemala put a halt to these plans.
- Internal Reformist: Subverted in the starting situation teaser. British Honduras is a rapidly deteriorating dictatorship that quashes political liberties, but some politicians have tried to reform it. Unfortunately, their efforts have been sabotaged by Canada and the British Honduras Volunteer Guard, who don't want to cede any influence to their enemies.
- The Migration: Life in British Honduras is miserable, as the starting situation teaser shows the country being plagued with rampant poverty, underdevelopment, and hurricanes. Every year, more citizens have emigrated out of British Honduras, hoping to find a better life elsewhere.
- Morton's Fork: British Honduras is on the brink of collapse in the starting situation teaser. The regime is oppressive and incapable of answering the growing discontent against them, yet Canada and the British Honduras Volunteer Guard refuse to reform the system because they fear the inevitable instability from such change and the risk of a Guatemalan invasion. However, by sticking to the status quo, this tie themselves to an increasingly unwinnable situation and watch the country fall apart anyways.
- La Résistance: As shown in the starting situation teaser, British Honduras is plagued with anticolonial insurgent movements that are being sponsored by Guatemala.
- Sunk Cost Fallacy: With the quiet support of America, Canada has stationed a large garrison to work with the British Honduran Volunteer guard and secure the country against the Guatemalan-backed PUP insurgents. However, the Canadian soldiers pursued the guerrillas into Guatemala and were attacked by local forces, pressuring Canada and America to sink more resources into their occupation and prolong a tense border conflict in the starting situation teaser.
Herbert Fuller
- 0% Approval Rating: The longer his regime has lasted, the more frustrated the people have gotten in the starting situation teaser. This discontent finally makes itself apparent when Belize City is destroyed in Hurricane Hattie and a border war breaks out between his regime and the Guatemalan-backed, PUP-loyal guerrillas. Combined with his allegations of corruption, cronyism, and mindless servitude to Canada, Fuller's days in power are numbered. Even Canada acknowledges that his time is up and they'll have to find a replacement.
- Corrupt Politician: His election stealing, gerrymandering, and other cases of corruption have done a serious dent to his reputation in the starting situation teaser, feeding the popular discontent against him.
- Fascist, but Inefficient: In the starting situation teaser, Fuller has overseen the NP's dominance over the Legislative Council of Honduras, relying on Canadian support to maintain the Anglophile status quo, and commercial and colonial interests under a veneer of Kriol nationalism. However, Fuller has failed to capitalize on this power to pass any meaningful reforms and, combined with his dismal reputation, is doomed to get ousted out of power by the next election.
- President for Life: When the situation in British Honduras was stabilized in 1951, Fuller adopted full dictatorial powers to ban or suppress the rival political parties and maintain his majority in office, as shown in the starting situation teaser.
- Professional Butt-Kisser: He was entrusted to govern British Honduras because he's slavishly loyal to his Canadian benefactors, as shown in the starting situation teaser.
- The Quisling: Fuller is an Anglophile who was brought into power by Canada in the starting situation teaser. They entrust him to maintain British Honduras' colonial status against the Guatemalan-backed insurgency and the growing pro-independence movement.
- Vote Early, Vote Often: As shown in the starting situation teaser, Fuller came to power through a rigged election, and he's since stayed in office by banning the PUP and suppressing the HDP.

Ramón Villeda Morales

- The Medic: In addition to being a politician, Villeda Morales is also a licensed doctor and surgeon.

- Bilingual Bonus: El Salvador's flag has text that translates to "Republic of El Salvador in Central America", "God Union Liberty", and "September 15, 1821". This communicates what country they are, their Catholic values, and their date of origin.
- Your Days Are Numbered: The ruling political party in 1962, the PRUD, is ultimately doomed to collapse and most already know its decline is reaching a breaking point.
José María Lemus

- We Hardly Knew Ye: In 1962, Lemus is ready to step down from the presidency, passing the reins to Rosales.
Rubén Alonso Rosales

- End of an Age: Regardless of what happens, Rosales will be the last President ever nominated by PRUD because it's been so corrupted, it can't possibly mobilize another candidate for the 1968 elections.
- Reconcile the Bitter Foes: His political party, PRUD, is completely factionalized and must do everything he can to keep them united, lest the military overthrow him.
José Napoleón Duarte

- Landslide Election: Following PRUD's collapse, Duarte wins the 1968 election by a landslide, owing to his popularity as Mayor of San Salvador.
- Realpolitik: Though skeptical of the OFN, Duarte will realign El Salvador to them because he is even more suspicious of the Sphere.
Rodolfo Cordón Cea

- Short-Lived Leadership: After the military overthrows Rosales, they install Cordón as Provisional President, only meant to set up the 1968 election so that Rivera can get elected.
Julio Adalberto Rivera

- President for Life: After being "elected" in 1968 after the military coup, Rivera organizes death squads to crush dissidence and cement his power, with the aid of the OFN in exchange for a realignment with them.
- Short-Lived Leadership: Rivera doesn't enjoy wielding his dictatorial power for long, as poor health and unpopularity leads to his resignation.
Salvador Cayetano Carpio

- Chummy Commies: After years of the general populace being mistreated, Carpio can lead a Communist revolution in San Salvador, after the economic downturn of the Oil Crisis proves to be the last straw.
Fidel Sánchez Hernández

- Meet the New Boss: Hernández is a pro-Riverist and represents a continuation of the dictator's legacy after his downfall.
Carlos Humberto Romero

- The Coup: Unwilling to accept Hernández as their leader, the National Guard and ORDEN can initiate a coup against him and install Romero as the face of their new regime.
José Alberto Medrano

- Hyper-Competent Sidekick: He and the ORDEN are instrumental in Romero's rise to power by cooperating with the National Guard.
- Sociopathic Soldier: Medrano led El Salvador's first death squad, who were responsible for waging terror and repression against the government's enemies.

- Banana Republic: Nicaragua's ruling Somoza dynasty represents the interests of the pro-US, cash crop-growing oligarchy's dominance over the Nicaraguan economy. As is the standard for this type of Central American dictatorship, all internal opposition is integrated into the government or brutally oppressed.
- Bilingual Bonus: The Spanish text on their flag states their name and geographical location, "Republic of Nicaragua - Central America".
- Corrupt Politician: The Somozas are more than just a political dynasty, but a mafia, which operates a giant network of corruption and criminal enterprises like gambling, prostitution and trafficking rings. The government acts essentially as a subsidiary to the family's ever-expanding business empire.
- Hereditary Republic: Since 1936, the Republic of Nicaragua has been controlled by the kleptocratic Somoza political dynasty.
- Sibling Team: After Anastasio Somoza García's death, his two sons Luis and Anastasio have jointly ruled Nicaragua.
- Villain Team-Up: Nicaragua and Panama have cultivated strong ties with each other, allowing their intelligence agencies and security forces to work together.
Luis Somoza Debayle

- Villain with Good Publicity: Luis Somoza is the face of the Somoza dictatorship. More boisterous, public and affable than his brother, he is known for being a friendly family man.

José Figueres Ferrer

- Gameplay and Story Segregation: Despite adhering to the democratic system, Figueres never steps down from power for the entire game due to a lack of implemented elections in Costa Rica.

- Banana Republic: Panama is dominated by a mercantile elite, who have in perpetuity cooperated with the US to run the Panama Canal and exploit its massive, massive profits, in opposition to the generally anti-US petite-bourgeoisie and working class.
- Bread and Circuses: The oligarchy occasionally legislates some welfare to dissuade the populace from rebelling.
- Butt-Monkey: Even though hundreds of ships regularly pass through their canal and make millions of dollars, Panama only acquires a meager $250,000, even though they own the Canal. Typically, Panama tends to make the least amount of profit from any international trade that crosses through them.
- Corrupt Politician: Panama's bureaucracy is full of these, in which any bill, public development, or acquisition can't even happen without a backroom deal or a private "donation" to the politicians. Any investigation into this problem is quickly suppressed, allowing the problem to persist.
- Puppet State: Unlike Puerto Rico, the United States didn't turn Panama into a colony, preferring to let the native politicians run things. However, America still holds significant sway over them, vigilantly overseeing the Panama Canal Zone and the lucrative trade there. Nationalists who try to oppose them, like the 1959 riots, are brutally crushed by American soldiers. The unequal relationship is best visualized by the flagpole in the Canal Zone, where the American flag flies above the Panamanian flag (and the latter was only added as a compromise).
- The Resenter: Some Panamanians the United States for controlling the Panama Canal Zone. Sure, the current status quo brings a lot of money to Panama and affords them a higher standard of living than their neighbors. But the lion's share of the wealth ends in the oligarchs' pockets, and some people dream of a Panama that wasn't beholden to American interests.
- Villain Team-Up: Panama is a close ally to Nicaragua. They've often done prisoner exchanges, shared intelligence, and trained their security forces together.
José Antonio Remón Cantera

- Assassin Outclassin': Remón survived an assassination attempt in 1955.
- Category Traitor: He signed the Remón-Eisenhower Treaty to squeeze some concessions from the United States, namely returning their territories, expanding Canal worker and trader rights, and bumping payments for the Canal. However, many nationalists like Arnulfo Arias accuse Remón of groveling to the Americans and legitimizing the current Isthmus division. Sooner or later, Remón will have to revisit the Canal issue.
- Corrupt Politician: As "America's policeman", Remón has gone to great lengths to mold Panama to their liking. He's rigged elections, couped Presidents, and even assassinated one of his Vice Presidents, José Ramón Guizado, for conspiracy.
- Crippling Overspecialization: Defied. Remón knows that it would be unwise to rely on the United States for everything. Thus, he's courted another ally in Nicaragua to give himself a little more flexibility.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Remón is willing to cooperate with the Somoza regime in Nicaragua, but he doesn't extend the same courtesy to fascist dictators like Trujillo. For him, these regimes are too appalling for his tastes.
- Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: The United States appointed Remón to head the National Police because he was the only person who studied at a military academy. Before that, Remón was an obscurity.
- Pragmatic Villainy: He's enacted some progressive and nationalist reforms to keep resistance down. The United States and the oligarchs approve of this, so long as it doesn't hurt their own interests.
- President Evil: His corrupt ways haven't changed in the slightest since becoming Panama's President. In office, he's amended the constitution and granted himself absolute power. So long as America keeps endorsing his dictatorship and nothing radical happens, Remón's reign is expected to last another decade.
- Repressive, but Efficient: Despite being an absolute dictator, Remón has created a stable regime, fully backed by the Americans and opposed by almost no resistance.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Remón and the military rely on the oligarchy to set up some welfare programs and placate the populace. Both sides don't like each other, but they nonetheless cooperate because the status quo is mutually beneficial. If they had a falling out, a revolution would almost certainly happen.
