| — Description of forming Peru-Bolivian Confederation |
The Peru-Bolivian Confederation is a formable located in South America 
. It is formed only with 
Peru and 
Bolivia. This is based off of the 1836 Peru-Bolivian union.
Background[]
The following is taken from Wikipedia which is licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0. You can view the article it was taken from here.
The Peru–Bolivian Confederation was a short-lived state that existed in South America between 1836 and 1839. The country was a loose confederation between the states of Peru, divided into the Republic of North Peru and the Republic of South Peru, and Bolivia, with the capital located in Tacna.

The Peru–Bolivian Confederation's formation was personally influenced by Marshal Andrés de Santa Cruz, the President of Bolivia, who served as the first and only head of state under the title "Supreme Protector". The Peru–Bolivian Confederation was opposed by neighboring countries from its inception, particularly Chile and Argentina, as a potential military and economic threat, and for its support for dissidents in exile. The War of the Confederation was triggered shortly after its formation when Chile and Argentina independently invaded the country. Argentina was defeated in 1837, but a combined force of Chile and North Peruvian dissidents known as the United Restoration Army were victorious at the Battle of Yungay in January 1839, which de facto ended the confederation as Peru and Bolivia were restored as independent states, and Santa Cruz fled into exile. The Peru–Bolivian Confederation was officially declared dissolved on August 25, 1839, by General Agustín Gamarra after his appointment as President of Peru. |
Economy[]
Its income is about $1,775,590.
Geography[]
Terrain[]
Southwestern Bolivia is Hilly, and the northern half of Peru's coastline is Semi-Mountainous, while the southern half is Mountainous. Everywhere else is flat.
Biome[]
The northern Peruvian coastline, and central-western and southeastern Bolivia are in the normal biome, while southwestern Bolivia and the southern Peruvian coastline, which are Arid. Northeastern Bolivia is Jungle.
Cities[]
The Peru-Bolivian Confederation has a total of 120 cities with Lima being its most populous city with a population of over 1 million. This totals to a population of 23,962,869.
Resources[]
The Peru-Bolivian Confederation produces these resources:
- Copper: +11 per 5 days
- Gold: +2 per 10 days
- Iron: +2 per 5 days
- Oil: +19 per 5 days
- Phosphate: +1 per 5 days
- Tungsten: +4 per 5 days
Its valuable Tungsten and Phosphate deposits makes it a target for other larger neighbors.
Threats[]
- Expansionist
Brazil wanting to eliminate competition with the Peru-Bolivian Confederation (Uncommon). - Argentina needs Bolivia for Rio de la Plata (Rare).
- Gran Colombia wanting to expand south (Rare).
- Paraguay wanting some more cities (Rare).
- Chile wanting to expand to form Patria Grande (Really Rare).
Strategy[]
Even though both countries are good for this formable, Peru takes the edge for its higher population and economy. However you should immediately justify on Bolivia and Ecuador (or Peru and Paraguay if you playing as Bolivia). You would also want to start off by making electronic factories(buy 2 Copper and 2 Gold) and sell the electronics to AI nations to help boost your economy. Invading Ecuador is a good source for money and economy and Paraguay for Bolivia as some free money. You should also research mobility technology for your infantry/tanks due to the Arid Mountainous biomes to the south, Jungle biomes, and Semi-Mountainous biomes. By now you should be amassing forces to invade Peru/Bolivia. Declare war and swiftly take it before any other powers take any interest, especially if you are playing as Peru as people want the Tungsten deposits in Bolivia. Now you can form the Peru-Bolivian Confederation!
At this point, Brazil or Argentina (Possibly expansive Gran Colombia) will have become large threats, it is important to ally them for a short time of safety, having an ally outside of South America such as 
Mexico or the 
United States would be beneficial for your protection. Your next course of nation should be to rush Chile if it has not been taken by sending in troops from the coast at both ends. If you are playing as Peru, you would be able to form the 
Inca Empire for bonus stability. After this, if they had not been taken, invade Colombia, Venezuela, and 
Central American nations.
At this point, Brazil would have taken a interest in your lands. Like every Brazil player, they would spam infantry, so entrenchment and biomes must be used to you advantage. One way you can do a lot of damage is by falling back to La Paz or Sucre. Both cities are in Arid biome and Hilly terrain. Build fortifications on either city, and station at least 100k troops. Spam artillery through the nation, and weaken Brazil's troops as they march through Bolivia. Building 10k-20k infantry in every city and entrenching can deal additional damage and waste Brazil's time, although this will be expensive. Artillery, the terrain, biome, and having to fight small entrenched divisions will result in heavy losses for the Brazilian side. This may not be enough for victory.
If you did survive, you probably have a decent-sized army. March in a straight line to Brasilia (the Brazilian capital), and siege it with arty to weaken entrenched Home Guard before invading it. You should now hold Brasilia, the Brazilian capital, resulting in a stability hit to Brazil. It should be fairly easy to hold, given that your arty and a large army and hilly terrain will result in good damage. If you don't want to hold Brasilia and want to move to a better defensive position, choosing a medium-sized city in Jungle biome is a good idea.
Strategy is a WIP as it needs to include a strat for Argentina.
