Panama History
2006: Due to Panama’s nature as a connector between the Atlantic and the Pacific, along with its popularity as a tourist destination, Panama is hit hard by the bird flu.
2007: Panama’s economy goes into a deep recession. Presidente Torrijos’s efforts to help the rapidly growing unemployed population in Panama are futile.
2007: El Partido Socialista de Panamá, a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist party under the charismatic leadership of Adrián Carmelo Eduardo Pérez Longoria, grows rapidly in popularity.
2008: The PSP, for the first time, goes for the presidency. El Partido Panameñista, a conservative party and the ruling Partido Revolucionario Democrático’s main rival, fixes the election to prevent Perez from becoming president.
2009: Elections are held in Panama. El Partido Panameñista and its extremely conservative candidate, Adolfo Benigno Garcia takes the presidency.
2009: The PSP, who legitimately won the election, is enraged at its 13 seats in the National Assembly and no president, compared to the PP’s 68 seats, along with all 20 deputies to the Central American Parliament. The armed wing of the party, las Fuerzas Armadas Socialistas de Panamá, begin an armed campaign against the Garcia government.
2009: Presidente Garcia outlaws the FASP and the PSP. The people of Panama are outraged that something like that would happen in a democratic nation. The Garcia government ignores the voices, saying, “They are just Communists who overreact.”
2009: The National Assembly passes a bill that allows Panama to build up a military.
2010: The now-underground PSP incites rioting in Colón. The resulting riots caused the murder of Colón’s mayor, along with chaos in the canal area. By April, the area was in the hands of FASP guerillas.
2010: After a series of bloody battles, the FASP takes shaky control over most of the Caribbean Coast, save the large jungle area separating Colombia and Panama. The Gatun Locks fall under their control with the area.
2010: Presidente Garcia increases the military budget by 20%. The economy suffers, causing massive dissent along the Pacific Coast.
2011: Peace talks take place between Garcia and Pérez. Nothing comes out of it.
Late 2011: FASP takes stable control of the Caribbean Coast, unofficially partitioning Panama into “Panamá del Norte,” the FASP-controlled area, and “Panamá del Sur,” the Garcia government. The canal is rendered useless due to the conflicting interests.
2011-2014: The “Dark War,” so named because the first year was without sunlight, commences. FASP, much better at night combat, was in their element. When “the sun came up,” North Panama controlled the Miraflores locks and most of the Panamanian peninsula. South Panama was brought to its knees in this period.
Late 2013: The situation against the guerillas, which was hardly improving for South Panama, along with the daily, round-the-clock riots in Panama City, caused Garcia to seek another round of peace talks with Colón. Pérez offered a white peace with a little twist; the canal would fall under North Panamanian control. Garcia refuses yet again.
2014: North Panama, despite the fact that it itself for the most part is unrecognized, recognizes Palestine almost as soon as it comes into existence.
2014: Riots in Panama City grow into an uncontrollable situation. Presidente Adolfo Garcia, after a complete term by Panamanian definition, is taken to the top of an office building, brutally beaten, and pushed off by pro-Pérez rioters. Pérez gives a speech about how, “he thinks there will only be one Panama from now on.”
2015: Panama is reformed into la República Maoista de Panamá, under the dictatorial rule of Presidente Adrián Pérez.
2015: Start game.
Population: 3,373,332
Head of State/Govt.: Presidente Adrian Carmelo Eduardo Pérez Longoria
Government Type: Socialist dictatorship under the iron-fisted rule of the PSP. The government allows its people a fair margin of civil rights when compared to some other dictatorships. Panamanians may speak out against the government to some extent, but anybody who crosses that line can expect quick, brutal execution by Panamanian Secret Police. There are precious few opposition parties in Panama, and even they are filled with Pérez's puppets. Pérez has appointed himself "President for Life" of Panama.
