Overview

Brazil

Paulo Coelho, Brazil's greatest novelist, wrote of the history of his people, "They were seeking out the treasure of their destiny, without actually wanting to live out their destiny." Among former colonies, Brazil is unique in the Americas because, beyond gaining its independence through a relatively peaceful path, it did not fragment into separate countries as did British and Spanish possessions. Brazil was a Portuguese colony from the time of the arrival of Pedro Cabral, who claimed it for his sovereign in 1500 AD, until the royal family in exile from their occupied homeland elevated it to the status of kingdom in 1815. Full independence was achieved in 1822 when the Empire of Brazil was created with a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary government. With the overthrow of Pedro II, the second and last emperor, in 1889 AD it became a republic. Although the republic would suffer through dictatorships and military juntas over the next century, true democracy returned in the 1980s when the first elected civilian government assumed power after a negotiated transition. Under a succession of able leaders, Brazil achieved political and economic stability, became a vital and influential member of the international community, and has at last achieved "the treasure of [its] destiny."

Afonso Pena

Afonso Augusto Moreira Pena was the sixth president of Brazil between 1906 and 1909. After the proclamation of the Republic, he was president of Minas Gerais between 1892 and 1894. It was during his administration that Belo Horizonte was set for the future state capital. In 1902 Pena became Vice President to Francisco de Paula Rodrigues Alves. As Vice President, he also served as the President of the Senate. He was elected president in 1906 and served until his death in 1909. Afonso Pena was the first Brazilian president to advocate intervening in the coffee economy. The federal government started to buy production surplus, thus maintaining the high price of coffee in international markets.

Dawn of Man

Art by DarthKyofu

There is much work to be done, Afonso Pena, sixth president of Brazil. Rising to the top position of the country through Coffee and Milk politics in the 1906 election, you proved to be a capable moderniser as well as a president above mere regionalism. Modernising the economy, you adopted the gold standard, and making the first state purchase of coffee stocks, as well as an inflow of foreign capital. It was also under your presidency that the first wave of Japanese immigrants arrived in Brazil, as well as connecting the South and Southeast country. But it wasn’t just the economy you modernised, as you authorised the purchase of the Minas Geraes-class, kickstarting the South American dreadnought race. This was in combination with the modernisation of the capital cities and ports, celebrated in the Brazilian National Exposition of 1908. And while your untimely death meant that you did not finish your term, much of what you set out to accomplish was completed.

Oh sensible Afonso Pena, the economy of Brazil is once again in need of modernisation. There is much you must do. Can you reform the Brazilian economy and leave it in a better position than you found it once again? Will you build a civilization that can stand the test of time?

Introduction: "Saudações! I am Afonso Pena, the President of the United States of Brazil, guarding it's beauty and wealth. Are you here to invest in it?"

Defeat: "And so shall the Empire end, when my youthful beauty cannot save it, but may it save my life."
