Geronia

OOC: This isn't really as much of a typical RP as it sounds, in actuality, I need to reestablish national credibility and bring together all the stuff that's happening with Geronia. I've been invited back to RP as the Southern part of the Korean peninsula (not as South Dalania this time) and I need to pretty much set up some sort of thing to get it all together here.
This is not an escalation or call to arms against any of the surrounding nations (IE: Dra-pol) although any nations who would like to provide international aid or jump into the rebuilding are welcome.
Oh and Banduria, if you read this, the RP for independence is still relevant so don't worry about that.

-Excerpt from "A Modern History of the Korean Peninsula"-
Professor Kim Jong Yu, former department chair, Seoul National University
The War had come and gone and so had the better days of the Southern half of the Korean peninsula. Once under the thriving control of the South Dalanian government, the massive invasion by Dra-pol had stunned the South beyond measure. Despite the training and modernized equipment of the South Dalanian Army, waves of Northern forces swarming over the 38th Parallel had routed and completely destroyed the South Dalanian forces; the peninsula only being saved by the efforts of hard-fighting Hindustani forces, who had stopped the invaders just shy of Suwon and Andong.
The chaos in what had been South Dalania was beyond measure. Refugees had fled abroad or as far south as they could get, straining the resources of a country that had been cut in half by the invasion. The death of President Choi during the mass exodus from Seoul had staggered the morale of the South Dalanian forces and the National Assembly had been widely dispersed by the conflict; a majority of its members had fled to safety in exile, died while fleeing Seoul, or were now confined in the "re-education camps" that had blossomed around Occupied Seoul.
It was in this way that the government of South Dalania had fallen, that the country had become a protectorate of the Bandurian government. South Dalania as a country had been forgotten, it's name lost to the ages under the Bandurian occupation. The GRF commanders, fighting to regain independence, did not see it come for years. But come it did and a new government arose with a new national identity: Geronia.
Geronia's first steps into the international community were small. Massive shipments of international humanitarian aid propped up the country's citizens and with half the country under the control of Dra-pol, things looked grim for the nation.
A new National Assembly was elected in which charismatic and young leaders steered the country toward a bright new future. Diplomatic and business relations were opened with several countries including the Ammo Conglomerate of Krakinheds and the nation of Flintlewoodle, measures which showed growth in the economy.
Deprived of the protection of the Bandurian military against threats from Dra-pol following the end of the occupation, Geronia took small steps to guarantee its security. At the time of this writing, Geronia is seeking defense treaties and contracts with other nations and is making defensive re-armament of its national armed forces a priority.
While the threat from the North may never disappear entirely, the small nation south of the newly drawn 36th Parallel Demarcation Line is still moving towards a brighter future.
This is not an escalation or call to arms against any of the surrounding nations (IE: Dra-pol) although any nations who would like to provide international aid or jump into the rebuilding are welcome.
