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."
Emilio Medici[]
Médici was born in Bagé, Rio Grande do Sul state. From his father's side, he was the grandson of Italian immigrants who went to Uruguay and then moved to Brazil. On his mother's side he descended from Basques. In the 1920s he entered military school at Porto Alegre and then the Army where he was steadily promoted, becoming general in 1961. Throughout the 1950s he served as a commander of reserve forces before being appointed chief of staff to Artur da Costa e Silva from 1957 to 1960. After the military coup Médici became Brazil's military attache to the USA from 1964-1966. In 1967 Médici was appointed chief of the National Intelligence Service of Brazil. In 1969 he became commander of the Third Army and was chosen to become President of Brazil by the Brazilian Military Junta of 1969, succeeding Costa e Silva, who had suffered a stroke. As the President was elected by National Congress, it had to be re-convened for this purpose after being dismissed by Costa de Silva. Médici was the only candidate, though since the legislature was dominated by the pro-military National Renewal Alliance Party (ARENA), his election would have been a foregone conclusion in any case. Médici took the oath on October 30, 1969 and served until the end of his term on March 15, 1974. Médici ruled under a 1967 Constitution which had been amended a few months earlier to be even more authoritarian than its predecessor. This constitution, along with the Institutional Act Number Five (AI-5, which gave the government sweeping powers to censor the press and restrict civil rights), formed the legal basis for some of the most severe human rights abuses of the military's two-decade rule. He made liberal use of torture and strict press censorship. The Brazilian Miracle unfolded, authored jointly by his liberal ministers ahead of the Ministério do Planejamento and Ministério da Fazenda (planning and finances) Roberto Campos and Delfim Netto, and the country won the 1970 Football World Cup.
Dawn of Man[]
Art by DarthKyofu
Tread Carefully, Emilio Medici, oh powerful president of Brazil. As the harsh leader of Brazil, you presided over a period of explosive economic growth, at the cost of civil liberties. Coming to power in a time of great unrest, your strict policies against those who undermined morality and proper behaviour led to the successful crushing of rebellion inside your own state, decisively destroying the Araguaia guerrilla movement. Determined to keep a watchful eye over South America, you took a more active approach on the affairs of other American states, using shrewd tactics to do so.
Mr. President, your repressive tactics kept Brazil safe, and the people once again call for you in their hour of need. But you must be wary – enemies lie everywhere, waiting for a sign of weakness. Can you keep these threats at bay, keeping watch over Brazil? Can you forge a civilization that will stand the test of time?
Introduction: Good evening, and welcome to Brazil, a land blessed by God; a land of plenty. I trust you to not be subversive.
Defeat: Fine, enjoy your anarchy! Witness as the streets descend into chaos, you foul beast.
