Patagonia

Patagonia, officially the Federation of Patagonia (Welsh: Ffederasiwn Patagonia / Spanish: Federación de la Patagonia / Mapudungun: Futahuillimapu Wudalmapu), is a sovereign state and Commonwealth realm located in South America, on the northern part of Patagonia. The region comprises the southern section of the Andes Mountains with lakes, fjords, temperate rainforests, and glaciers in the west and deserts, tablelands and steppes to the east.

Patagonia is bounded by the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Chile and Rio de la Plata to the north and many bodies of water that connect them, such as the Strait of Magellan, the Beagle Channel, and the Drake Passage to the south. Its capital is located in Port Davis, located near Chiloe Island on the western coast of the country, and is governed by Queen Elizabeth II, while its Prime Minister is Jacob Dunham.

The official languages are English, Welsh, Spanish and Mapudungun. Culturally, Patagonia has a varied heritage, including Welsh, Spanish, Mestizo, Indigenous, German, Croatian, Italian, Swiss and Scottish influences.

Trivia

 * Patagonia is the wealthiest and most liberal state in South America, after Chile.
 * As with both neighboring Rio de la Plata, the United States and Chile, Patagonia is home to various immigrant and diaspora groups from around the world.
 * Any form of corporal or verbal punishment towards children is prohibit in all but three states. This is because such types of punishment has been known to exacerbate undesirable or inappropriate behavior in children. The ban took effect in 1983 when several child abuse cases resulting in murder made national headlines.
 * The latest state to outlaw corporal punishment in both the home and schools was Fireland, which banned the practice in 2019 after a state court ruling.
 * The states of Aysen, Gueryke and Bariloche are yet to ban corporal punishment.
 * One of the most popular cartoons in Patagonia is Brody and Henri which debuted in 2018 and is still popular.
 * School bullying, whether physical, verbal or social, is forbidden in all schools. The penalty for 1st offense is an official warning, whereas the 2nd offense is to be met with a conference with a parent/guardian, the teachers concerned and the guidance counselor of the school. The 3rd offense can result in expulsion. In Gueryke, corporal punishment is optional in case expulsion was of no use.
 * It is frowned upon to mention Adolf Hitler's name in Patagonia unless it is for educational purposes. Euphemisms like "Adolf", "the Austrian dictator" or "Mustache Man" are used instead by the youth, especially so-called "history memers" and players of real-time strategy video games.
 * Port Davis-style hot dog sandwiches consist of a mixed beef and pork wiener with onions, dill pickles and sundried tomatoes on a baguette. It is considered taboo to put mayonnaise or ketchup on such hot dogs, so mustard and Manhattan dressing are used instead.
