National Biography Kriegorgrad is a diplomatically aggressive nation, while not particularly potent, it does have an elite arm in its military named the “Ordos Fedor”, fanatics bent on furthering Nikolai Fedorenkov’s influence. The Collective Oligarchy is a refuge to no-one, even its own people are culled now and again by the paranoid state, people live in a state of love-and-fear, love of Nikolai Fedorenkov and fear that he may see a flaw in them that they themselves do not. Kriegorgrad is a strange state regarding religion, rather than worshipping a deity of sorts, the state declares that Nikolai Fedorenkov is the people’s deity and he is worshipped as the masses would usually worship a traditional “god”. Kriegorgrad is a nation of contrast, certain parts of the nation are backwards to the point of being similar to 1940s Britain while other areas are far ahead technologically than many other nations. Lies and propaganda form the staple diet for the people of Kriegorgrad, if the party wants to tell a blatant lie, they don’t need to make it look acceptable, the principle of doublethink does that for them.

*Doublethink is a process that makes the user eliminate any heretic thoughts from their own mind.

Also, one must remember that Kriegorgrad tries to keep its people unhappy and poor – and it can do so only through the ignorance of the Kriegos public concerning the outside world. The people of Kriegorgrad think they have the best living conditions in the entire world when in reality they are actually among the worst. However, the suffering of the people isn’t without cause, for the reason that the people are kept unhappy (or happy, due to endless propaganda) is because when the people are kept in a state of permanent fear and hatred of the people outside is because when one’s mind is occupied with fear and hate, it has no time to ponder if the system they are under is actually working. This is all part of the Party’s plan to keep the people under its iron fisted rule without the populace protesting, the people of Kriegorgrad see the Party as a great protector because they are fed that from an early age.

OoC: Macabees, you're added to the the friendlies list (another ally! Yay!) and as for you THL, your credit was given. *grumble* xP

Einhauser, you'd be best off reading George Orwell's novel 1984 for more extensive information regarding Doublethink, I based my nation off of his grand book so he should be able to explain it better than I.
