Corrigan

Collective Empire of the Corriganians Corrigan is a country with a raucous republican government despite its name. If the MC12 world suffers from too little democracy, Corrigan may suffer from too much. Elections are nasty affairs with dueling not uncommon. The empire is allso an up-and-coming economic powerhouse with high aspirations, not the least of which is recovering its Pacific coastline. A force for instability in Camarina. Think of it as a Chaotic Neutral.

Corrigan gained independence from Peru shortly after Peru's own independence. That is, the Viceroyalty that preceded it joined Peru to begin with, but a decade later the local government decided they'd had enough and declared independence. Peru kept the coastal regions.

Corrigan controls *Ascension Island in the Atlantic, the sole fruit (so far) of its would-be grand colonial programme.
