Irathrian ChevyRocks
Introduction
Background
Following various conflicts and land grabs on the continent of Irathria, there were several large plots of land standing vacant. Given the opportunity, the Johanson administration decided upon a section of a subcontinent of Irathria, to the south-east of the majority. About 450,000 military personnel were sent to patrol the region and set up camps, bases, and various outposts. Some 50,000 civilians were also sent, mostly administrative workers, to set up basic government until more people and funding arrived.
