Federation

"The Federation is going to threaten the United States. I felt worried for myself. I've got a bad feeling about this when they use brown power as a chant. It's worse than the KKK when they kill black people and Jews for the lust of their radical white power, even for the Westboro Baptist Church protests."

--Su Ji-Hoon, La Federacion de las Americas

The Federation, officially the Federation of the Americas (FA) (Spanish: Federacion de las Américas; Portuguese: Federação das Américas), is a political, economic, and military union of North and South American nations that have risen to power in the alternate timeline of Call of Duty: Ghosts, where it serves as the game's main antagonist faction, and also, in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, where it also serves as one of the antagonist factions in that story, because of its membership to the Coalition of the Red Star. The Federation's capital is Caracas, Venezuela. With Nicholas Maduro being the President of the Federation of the Americas after Roman Solano became President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Gabriel T. Rorke is one of their top agents.

Rise to Power
Around in the 2020s, the Federation was established in the wake of multiple conflicts in the Middle East that culminated in the Tel Aviv War, which devastated the entire region and triggered a global energy crisis. First World countries around the globe were crippled, like the United States and their NATO allies, as well as Russia, China, and India. With these nations spread thin trying to maintain order, the oil-rich South American nations of Venezuela and Chile united on June 2nd, 2024, to form the Federation of the Americas to monopolize their own resources and consolidate power over their neighbors.

Under the leadership of the strongly anti-American General Diego Almagro, the Federation spread unchecked throughout most of South America. As Almagro intensified his rhetoric while demanding the arrest or execution of every US-born individual living within Federation territory, he drew the wrath of the United States of America. A Ghost-led military operation was mounted in the middle of that year to assassinate Almagro in Caracas, Venezuela. The general's death, however, failed to halt the Federation's aggressive expansion, and animosity between the two superpowers deepened. Also, Gabriel T. Rorke was lost in a flood in Caracas. This later resulted in him being captured by the Federation and brainwashed. Over the next two years, the Federation flourished economically and moved northward, invading and conquering the countries of Central America and the Caribbean.
