16 july
Buenos Aires

Experts of all States are receiving by the President Jorge Martinez y Garcia.
"
Seniors
I am very happy to receive members of the friendly Countries.
You are at a very important moment of the history.
Our States, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay & Argentina are going to be assembling in one entity, Nations Unidas de Suramerica.

This "Unidas" must be in the respect of all state, traditions, culture & personality of each one.

We have, with the President Moreno defined a number of points that must be modified to allow a better cohesion of states in their functioning.

The existing Constitution of the "Unidas" should be the basis and the integration of applications from Peru is not big problems.
Requests from the President Moreno are fair and without exes. I count on your honesty work to move quickly. I hope to submit the new text to the different governments as quickly as possible.

25 sept 1917

Experts from all States made good working.

The differents parts of the Constitutions are now in orders.
Each state had a ministery of education, health, transport, security, army...
NUS Parliament with deputies of all countries "ll be in Buenos Aires...

Experts from Peru & Bolivia disagree this choice, they hope to have the GreatNUS  Parliament in better central geographic position.
They hope to have Asuncion, capital of Paraguay... :(  :(  :(

The Laws voted in the NUS Parliament "ll be studying by different Commissions of experts of all countries.

A most important decision was also decided for the economical developement & comunications of the "Naciones";
The building from north to south, from Pacific to Atlantic
of a railway between all capitals, Lima, Lapaz, Ascuncion & Buenos Aires.

The Army & Armada commandement "ll be partialy mixed.
That mean that Admirals in Atlantic "ll be nomed in Pacific & vis versa...

OOC
I'd suggest Salta as the capital.

OTL Argentina runs on 5'6" (1676mm) gauge, with some 1m or 1067 lines. Plus the odd 750mm lines in the Deep South, in N-verse operated jointly with the Habsburgs.

Paraguay has a single 1067mm non-operational line.

The Antofagasta-Bolivia line was built as 762mm and then converted to 1000mm track (2'6" and 3'3")
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrocarril_de_Antofagasta_a_Bolivia

The railroad between Chile and Argentina is the standard 5'6", BUT the most mountinous stretch is 3'3".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transandine_Railway

Peru has a mix of 1435mm and 914mm lines ..

ooc: I'll suggest Corrientes
Not currently a capital, so implied superiority.
At the confluence of the Paraguay R. and Parana R.
According to Wiki, it's on a 55m rise, so not floodable.

By the 1950s there was a rail line west across the Gran Chaco which connected to Salta, not terribly hard to build in the flats.

Fairly central, good maritime access.

Oct 1917

Finally, Experts decided that NUS Government & Parliament"ll be on the line of the future railway so, Corrientes was approved for a better geographic position than Asuncion.
The NUS President is alternatively for 2 years, from Argentina & Peru.
The first President "ll be from Argentina
The Presidents from the Naciones "ll takes one (minimum) meeting every year about the Unitas Health.
NUS Government is chosen by the President & is alternatively, every 2 years from Argentina & Peru. Some ministers from Paraguay & Bolivia could be choose too.

The NUS Calendar was adopted

- Spring 1918
Laws Experts commissions choose by Presidents. One in each specialty
Parliamentary deputies' election in all states.
- Summer 1918
First session of deputies.
First session of NUS Governement
For the security, Army & Armada
Exchange of superior officers & officers.
Transfer of some materials, warships,
Complementarities of Building Plan.
Uniformity of Armament.

OOC and barely on topic :)
"The port of Corrientes, dependent of the Ministry of Public Works and Services of the Province, is located at the altitude of the kilometer 1208 in the left edge of the Paraná river. Its current load draught is from 9 to 12 feet and has a length of 373 metres."

01-01-1919
1919H1

is officialy the start of the new NUS with
Peru + Bolivia + Paraguay + Argentina

Calculation of the new Population - BP - IC - Rev - is in progress

For indication, here is the population in 2008-2009

Peru-29.180.899 hab
Bolivia-9.847.816 hab
Argentina – 40.677.348 hab
Paraguay – 6.831.306 hab

to be continued...


;)

[Sachmle]

Short of any new inflow or outflow I'd recommend keeping the breakdown by area, it usually ends up adding up to more in the end.

[Jefgte]

The calculations are made for 1916H1

No changement for Argentina & Paraguay, that's 1916H1 numbers
Argentina - 25.140.000 pop. - 7BP - 39IC - 64.14Rev
Paraguay -  2.186.000 pop. - 0BP - 4IC - 6.19Rev

Peru + Bolivia give a pop. ratio total = 3.96
1 for Bolivia & 2.96 for Peru
Ratio numbers
Peru    - 19.632.425 pop. - 4.5BP - 30.9IC - 50.505Rev
Bolivia - 6.632.575 pop. - 1.5BP - 10.41IC - 17.06Rev

(Peru + Bolivia give: 26.265.000pop. – 6BP – 41.3IC – 67.565Rev - that's1916H1 numbers)

But Bolivia is not an industrial country. Numbers must be adjusted.
Here are adjustement with Peru moving up & Bolivia down.

Peru    - 19.632.425 pop. - 5.5BP - 35.9IC - 57.505Rev
Bolivia - 6.632.575 pop - 0.5BP - 5.41IC - 10.06Rev
