The Empire of Ansuria

Full Title: The United Empire of Greater Ansuria and Prussia
Shortened: Empire of Ansuria / Ansuria

Politics
An aggressor and the major loser of World War One, Ansuria was devolved into a collection of member states under the Treaty of Versailles. Her economy was crippled by colossal compensation payments to the Allies, and restrictions were placed upon her military.

Following a period of violent political instability, the radical politician Mardos Duran Surel rose to power on a wave of nationalistic fervor. His party, the National-Libertarian Ansurian Workers Party, swamped competitors at the polls in 1933 with promises of individual freedom, food and work for the common man.

Under Surel's leadership, Ansuria regained her status as an economic power while still maintaining the conditions imposed upon it in 1919. In the summer of 1935 however, the Treaty of Versailles was seriously breached during the Ansurian annexation of the Sudetenland (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12202922), a part of Czechoslovakia. The attack revealed secret development and procurement of both armoured vehicles and aircraft, both prohibited under the Treaty.

Head of Government: Chancellor Mardos Duran Surel
Foreign Secretary: Alessandra Raeth

Economy
The Economy of the Empire stands mainly upon the output of heavy industry, such as shipbuilding, steelworking, machining and mining. The south contains large deposits of fuel-grade coal, lead, copper and potassium, while glass workshops, paper and textile mills in the east produce other products.
