Augusto Ramón Cabañeras Gutiérrez (Creeperian Spanish – Creeperian: Ափգփստո Րամօն Ծաբաթերաս Գփտիէրրեզ, pronounced: [awˈɡus-to .ra-mon ka-βaˈɲeɾ-as guˈtjeɾ-rez]; born 21 January 1959), sometimes known as simply by his initials ACG, is a Creeperian military figure and politician who is serving as the incumbent Minister of Defense and Minister of Intelligence of Creeperopolis. He is the active Chief Field Marshal of the Creeperian Army, the highest rank in the Creeperian Army, and is effectively the commander of the Creeperian Armed Forces, wielding massive influence over Creeperian military affairs.
Cabañeras Gutiérrez was automatically promoted to the rank of Chief Field Marshal and appointed to the offices of Minister of Defense and Minister of Intelligence upon the death of his father, Emmanuel Cabañeras Videla, in 2002. He amassed significant power and influence in Creeperopolis following a military coup d'état on 18 June 2003 that overthrew the totalitarian government of Emperor Alfonso VI and established the Romerist Military Junta. The coup d'état allowed for the current reigning monarch, Alexander II, to rise to the Imperial throne. Cabañeras Gutiérrez persecuted supporters of Alfonso VI and political and military critics following the coup, resulting in the executions of from 5,200 to 8,200 people, the internment of as many as 80,000 people and the torture of tens of thousands from 2003 to 2004. He became the second most powerful person in Creeperopolis, after the Emperor, following the coup, but he effectively controls most aspects of Creeperian politics and the Creeperian government making him de facto Creeperopolis' most powerful person, large in part due to his role as the family head of the Cabañeras Family, a very powerful, wealthy, and influential Creeperian family of military officers who have held the position of Minister of Defense continuously since 1833.
Under the influence of a free market-capitalistic ideology, Cabañeras Gutiérrez aided in government implementation of economic liberalization, including currency stabilization, removing tariff protections for local industry, banning all trade unions except the Workers' Romerist Organization (ORT), and privatizing social security and hundreds of state-owned enterprises, which were nationalized by the three previous Emperors. These policies produced high economic growth leading to a period of economic revival popularly known as the Miracle of Creeperopolis. The Creeperian economy rapidly increased from $16 trillion colóns[note 2] to almost $96 trillion colóns[note 3] by 2020. His fortune has grown considerably during his years in power, amassing over $400 billion colóns,[note 1] allegedly through embezzlement, money laundering, and engaging in the black market. He is claimed to be the most corrupt public and military official in Creeperopolis.
Cabañeras Gutiérrez is accused of inciting and continuing ethnic violence in Creeperopolis and initiating a genocide against the Deltinian population in southern Creeperopolis. Since Cabañeras Gutiérrez assumed office, Creeperopolis has frequently been called a "war crimes state" or "totalitarian anarchy" by domestic and foreign critics. International organizations have cited Cabañeras Gutiérrez's rule in Creeperopolis as one of the driving factors behind the poor state of human rights in Creeperopolis. Some academics and conspiracy theorists have characterized him as the "real power behind the throne of Creeperopolis" and have labelled him as the dictator of Creeperopolis.
