Pedro Marquez was born in South America, where he went to college and attended several exchange programs to universities in nations across South America.
It was during his college years that he realized that the people of South America all shared a common Latin ancestry, mostly obvious through their languages. The region he grew up in was dominated by Brazilian Portuguese and Hispanic people, with a minority of French speakers and, to a lesser extent, Italian speakers.
Marquez majored in Political Studies and soon became very active in government in his home nation. During his required military service, he met and married Victoria Lucinda Ramirez, a cadet officer intent on joining the artillery divisions. Victoria soon became fascinated by Pedro's ideal of a unified Latin state.
Pedro formed a new political party in South America based off his ideals. By 1990, the party had gathered enough influence in the region to be ceded significant tracts of land for the beginning of a nation, centered around the prosperous city of Cuiabá, which quickly became the capital city of the new Incorporated States of the Latin Union. People of all different ethnic backgrounds, mostly Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Italian, flocked to the new nation in the first months of its existence. Originally a loose federation of provinces, the nation solidified into a fully recognizable nation-state in 2004, in which the federal government adopted a constitution that centralized power in Cuiabá, formed a General Assembly for the formation of national laws, and dissolved many aspects of provincial government to dispel their identity as separate states. The constitution, drafted by Pedro Marquez in 1998, took some time for all provinces to ratify and formally came into effect on September 18th, 2004, during which the former members of provincial lawmaking bodies relocated to Cuiabá to become the bulk of the Latin General Assembly.
Marquez was elected unanimously by the General Assembly to be the first President of the Latin Union. He would have preferred a direct popular vote, but after polls showed his approval rating was nearly 95%, he relented and accepted the position. He selected noted statesman Felipe Caraguez to be his Vice President, and together the two were granted electoral amnesty by the General Assembly, allowing them to serve their first two five-year terms without need to run for reelection, a measure the Assembly deemed necessary for Pedro's ideal of the state to be recognized. Again, Marquez was against this move, and insisted that there be free general elections in 2009. The issue remains unsettled.
Upon his ascendance to the Presidency, Marquez professed the creation of a Latin state as just one more step towards world unity. He promised the people of the nation that he would work his hardest to forge strong ties with their neighbors, and work especially hard through the United Nations to draw the world community together in peace and prosperity. His major focuses, besides solidifying the Latin Union, lie in controlling the flow of illegal narcotics within his nation, and decreasing poverty and unemployment.
