The Confederacy of Sylac
After a long and bloody conflict, the nation of Sylac has once again been unified under a single banner. With the backing of several of Sylac's wealthiest men, Ord Dnallaho has seized power and had become a dictator in all but name.

He has formed the "People of Sylac's Nationalist committee", a puppet government consisting mainly of Corporate Bosses who like Dnallaho for the almost complete freedom from ethics that he gives them.
Sylac today
Southern Sylac is a temperate region with a climate/environment comparable to modern day Germany. It is also the center of all Sylac's Wealth. The various cities dotted along the South Coast are incredibly rich and affluent due to the Megacorps that inhabit them. Life for these wealthy citizens is of high quality...unless of course they speak out against the government, which few of them have any reason to do, they're rich after all! The few socially minded citizens who have dissented against the massive inequality in Sylac have been disappeared. All public services are privately owned, save for the oppressive state police force.
Roughly a quarter of the population live in this region, but they control almost 80% of the wealth.

Northern Sylac is cold and densely populated. Poverty is rife and the people suffer. The government maintains no services save for those who join the Military. Half of the nation's population live in the terrible slums of the northern cities, forced into near slave labour by the Corporations of the South.

Central Sylac is mostly Steppe, inhabited by Sylac's only other ethnic group. The nomads that live in the Steppes are grudgingly part of the Confederacy and are often pressed into the army. They are not happy about this, and would rather be left alone.
The Sylac Military
The Sylac Military is essentially broken down into three parts.

The CA (Confederate army) numbers almost one million. It's consists entirely of poor northerners who literally had no where else left to turn and Steppe nomads pressed into service. They are given very basic training and poor weaponry. They serve only out of fear and poverty, and as such make a low morale, inefficient fighting force.

The SAF (Sylacian Armed Forces) numbers 50,000 and consists of rich affluent young men from southern Sylac. Though fairly well equipped, the rich southerners make very poor troops. They are pompous, and wear bright uniforms. The SAF would crumble under attack from a well trained army.

The NCG(National Confederate Guard) are well trained, well equipped hardened veterans. They are loyal to General Dnallaho and are capable soldiers. However, they number only 10,000.
Recent Activity in Sylac
Dnallaho has relocated the NCG, along with a sizeable military police force to the northern bases. What he intends to do there is unknown.

OOC: I'm rather new to RPing, so sugestions and complaints would be appreciated.

Well, it's already fallen of the front page. A single bump wont hurt.

OoC Nice introduction, you caught my eye with your interesting nation that has flaws, so many new comers (and even old ones) refuse to have any flaws in their nation and it makes for a very dull read. In my eyes, you now exceed a large number of older RPers on this site.

OOC: Looks like a good start. *TAG* for future IC post if this continues as well as it started.

I'm note entirely sure how I want to play it yet. Something catalytic.
All though I am sure on one thing, the military forces certianly arn't there to help the people.

OOC: I'm a clueless newbie. MT and FT?

This looks pretty cool. I might partake in this later on.

OOC: MT and FT refer to tech levels. MT=Modern Tech (all tech available today), PMT=Post-Modern Tech (2010-2100 tech, roughly, though estimates of this range will vary), FT=Future Tech (roughly 2100-whenever, though again, estimates will vary; Star Wars/Star Trek/WH40K tech all falls into this realm). PMT can also stand for Pre-Modern Tech, but you don't often see that, so 99.9% it's Post-Modern.

OOC: Ah, I suspected it was something along those lines. Thanks.

Starenell commends the General on his acension. We recommend that he get rid of those nobles, they are a disgrace. We would lend some troops if you choose to do so.
