The Bolivar Sea is a group of 11 star systems located entirely within the Amazonia Cluster. The subcluster includes two sovereign states: the Federative Republic of Brazil and Republic of Gran Colombia. Both of these states are classified as legacy nations, sharing strong direct historical, cultural, and linguistic ties to nations that once existed on Earth.
Etymology
The namesake of the Bolivar Sea is the 19th century Venezuelan statesman and military officer Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar Palacios Ponte y Blanco, who led what would become the countries of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Panama, and Bolivia to independence from the Spanish Empire. He is known colloquially as El Libertador, or the Liberator of America.

Federative Republic of Brazil - Republic of India Tensions
As a part of an ongoing rivalry between the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Republic of India, a series of high-profile freedom of navigation exercises have been conducted by the competing nations in one another's IDIZs. In response to a prior Brazilian operation in the Apollo Subcluster, itself a response to an earlier Indian operation in the Encruzilhada Subcluster, a 210 ship task force was deployed by the Republic of India to the Bolivar Sea. This armada consisted of multiple task groups formed around multiple fleet carriers, and represented one of the largest interstellar deployments of the Indian Navy.
