Fiction:Treaty of Zamboanga

The Treaty of Zamboanga (Spanish: Tratado de Zamboanga) was the Kingdom of Spain's acquisition of the Philippines from POTATO. The Philippine nation was formally transferred to Spain on October 18, 2826, through a treaty ratified by the Spanish Cortes and signed by King Charles VI.

POTATO's precursor, the United States, had established a presence in the Philippines during the last third of the nineteenth century with the conquest of the Philippines after the Spanish-American War, and continued so until the end of the Second World War, when the Philippines gained independence. However, they would become linked to the United States again after they joined POTATO in the late 21st century. In the 29th century, POTATO started thinking about selling the Philippines, which were not very productive after the abandonment of Earth and resettlement, besides not exercising a great ammount of control over them except for coastline cities. Following the end of the Spanish War of Restoration, Secretary of Colonial Affairs Pablo Mojón entered into negotiations with POTATO for the purchase of the Philippines. POTATO and Spain agreed to a treaty on March 30, 2826, and the treaty was ratified by the Spanish Cortes.

The purchase added 120,000 square miles (300,000 km2) of new territory to the Kingdom of Spain for the cost of $27.5 billion. Reactions to the purchase in Spain were mostly positive, as many believed possession of the Philippines would serve as a base to restore Spanish economical hegemony in Asia, and was seen as a "irredentist reconquest of a historical territory" by the most extreme groups, though some organizations like the Communist Party of Spain and the Spanish Republican Union protested in what they called an "imperialist delirium of the authoritarian government of Spain".
