Overview[]
The state of Argentina is backed by Aztechnology and is currently fighting the Ghost Cartels. Who in turn are providing the anti-government rebels with rebels with money and training. They also funnel to the rebels supplies and guns from Amazonia.[1]
It's a corporate-controlled state, which is the puppet of various megacorps, the most powerful of them being Aztechnology. It really dislikes Amazonia and often attempts to make claims on Antarctica.[2]
