Panama is an oligarchical republic located in Central America and the Caribbean. The nation went into planning in early October and was officially founded on November 12, 2018. The nation is an oligarchical republic with a constitution that outlines a three branch government, including a bicameral parliament with an elected and unelected chamber. The nation has territory from the Galapagos to the Yucatan, with territories sprawling across South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The nation's values are that of neutrality, germanism, and extensive trade. Despite neutrality the nation takes a relatively active position in world affairs, with formal notable relations with 8 separate nations.

After radius for nations were announced, the original plans for Papacy World Wide (PWW) were scrapped entirely, since it would be entirely impossible for a globalist nation to succeed. Interest at that time had died out anyway. Spontaneously, [[Oretin]] and [[Paper]] both came up with the idea of settling in Panama, and Paper insisted it should be a republic. Thus the Panama Republic was born, and quickly organized early on with a discord. Ian, who was already moving to the region with plans in Cuba (to join [[Wabanaki]]) also decided to join Panama. Over the course of 10 days a constitution was written up by all the Oligarquia and signed. Thus lay the foundations of Panama, and soon after two major issues sprung up: When would the first Presidente be elected (prior to the election both Paper and Oretin were considered interim Presidente), and would the lower house exist?

The starting of Terra Nova proved far better than expected. All worries of several groups moving to Panama dissipated relatively quickly, as significant talks occurred with these groups before TN arrived to hopefully prevent it. It went far better than anyone in Panama expected. The towns were quickly established, with first [[Avalon]], then [[Havana]] in early access, then [[Lawyer Island]], [[New Ulm]], [[Tortuga]], and eventually [[New Graz]]. The independent towns of [[Tikal]] and [[Narnia]] were also brought into Panama soon after, among others. Overall things went very well.

Roughly 10 days after Terra Nova large amounts of people began arriving on Cuban shores to dig clay, must to the discontent of Panama, especially Cuban officials. Moves to securely claim the island were put in place. A random town was also established at the south end of the island, but was scared away. On the 11th of November around 4 new individuals attempted to settle the Northern Marshes of Cuba, wherein a ragtag militia of Panamanians slaughtered them all, securing the island. This was known as the Marsh Massacre.

In a series of events leading up to organized conflict, several members of [[Wabanaki]] and Panama ended up intertwined in conflicts. The full story is hard to come by due to extreme bias, the TBI has a relatively good story on it and the wikia page linked [[The Ten Apple War|here]] also has a fairly good explanation, but in a Panamanian perspective it was seen as hostile aggression at the time and most Panamanians still see it as such today, so that is the perspective Panama had leading into the war. This led to the further escalation of the crisis and eventually a declaration of war.

After several skirmishes and a minor raid into South a significant Panamanian army marched to Iroquois's capital, East, with the intent to construct a massive Fort, known as Fort I LOVE LLAMAS, largely because the breaking point for the war was the construction of a [[Wabanaki]] fort on Panamanian land. Another fort was also made earlier that day in that location. When the army arrived, minor fighting occurred on the bridge while significant griefing happened all around the capital. Little came of the battle except massive damage to the Iroquois capital that would take a large time to fix. Shortly after the Siege of the East Italia and Byzantium formally joined the war with Panama, and the rebels in California supported them. Peace talks were held shortly afterwards and lasted 2 hours before breaking down.

The most climactic battle of the war occurred shortly before it's conclusion. Initially it was meant to be a small raid, with a massive, ugly fortress being made near the Comanche capital since the other was claimed, with 2 Panamanian soldiers and 1 Byzantine soldier taking party. This changed fairly quickly however as [[Wabanaki]] soldiers began to respond and large amounts of Panamanians and Panamanian allies began to flood in. The battle lasted roughly 30 minutes and [[Wabanaki]] took significant casualties, roughly 7-4 casualties total on each side not counting unarmed individuals. Eventually the battle waned on a very long time and both the bulk of the [[Wabanaki]] army and the Panamanian army left the scene, with [[Wabanaki]] arriving later and destroying Fort Runner.

Once again peace talks were held later that evening. Few expected it to go well, and the talks started off extremely hostile. Eventually the hardliners left the talks and the talking was primarily between Presidente Paper, Juez [[IanNotEN]], occasionally Chief David, and Hoyenah Yoda. The talks were productive and were able to solve most of the major irreconcilable issues, many by loosely blanketing them or ignoring them to solve the larger problems at hand. Eventually a treaty was signed up and delivered to [[Wabanaki]], where they voted yes and peace was made. There was a cease-fire during the talks as well.

Panamanian expansion had gotten huge by the time of late November. As a result major changes had to be made. Panama commissioned the CDD (lower chamber of parliament) elections despite the constitution giving a month before requiring the CDD be put in place. As such many candidates began to run for position as Delegar. Panamanian infrastructure also rapidly improved, with a complex nether system connecting nearly every town, and a railway system being built. The South Railway intended to connect [[Panama City]], [[New Ulm]], [[Lawyer Island]], [[Quito]], and the [[Galapagos|Galapagos Isle]]. The rail was finished in two days, and on the same day it was finished a Panama-Avalon rail was complete. Thus it was possible to go from [[Havana]] to the [[Galapagos]] by railway. The turtle industry, championed by OPEC as a massive source of income, was then crashed by foreign sellers, leading to a mass selling of eggs for cheap.

The time leading up to the election saw a significant amount of intrigue as two cohesive units began to form in the core territory, West Panama and East Panama. Shortly afterwards, the State of Ecuador declared independence, and despite minor hiccups with some towns not wanting to leave Panama, the two nations split very quickly and effectively and became closer partners. Meanwhile drug tensions continued as a Panama Mafia church in Eastern Panama was closed down by the PBC led Panama Marines in order to prevent drug trafficking. This caused an uproar wherein Panaloa and the Panama Mafia in a rare show of cooperation together spoke out against the situation. This disrupted the traditional situation wherein the Mafia had influence over the West while Panaloa controlled the East. However it only led to minor violence against canal workers as both organizations tried to claim it for themselves. The West of Panama, with a far larger population but larger poverty rate, began to organize itself into civilian organizations. One such group was New Graz's WSC, or White Safety Coalition, an organization devoted to the protection of the Austrian people of Panama. The WSC and PBC also have alleged ties. In the midst of all this the election itself had finally begun, with the massive Oretin campaign propelling itself far beyond the others. The results of the election was a clear victory for Oretin, winning 78.9% of the vote.
