The Black Reich

A better copy of this will be made by me in the future, including pictures and what have you of actual equipment used by the Hellmarric Empire.
The Hellmarric empire – a state within the land of Reicha, ultimately ruled by THE BLACK REICH master leadership council of Reicha.
The Helmmarric empire of the lands of Reicha is one of the more militaristic empires within the lands of The Black Reich. However, like most members of the Reichan society, when a threat becomes paramount in Reicha from an external source, it will always answer the call to defend its fellow Reichans from external threats.
However, on the same token, the Hellmarric empire has always been considerably more aggressive in its expansionist tendencies, which have recently begun to show up in its interest within expanding towards the east, away from known Black Reich territories, in an effort to acquire more land for future gains.
Political trends: Unlike the other members of the empire, who are either pro-Imperial Black Reich nation supporters, or pro-dynastic supporters of the old Imperial Dynasty forces, the Helmarric empire, due to its more out-of-the-way position in the regional conflicts, is much more liberal with its affiliations, and can often be found playing both sides against one another. However, with the recent acceptance into power of Damien Hellmarr – heir to the Helmmar imperial throne, the more authorative aspects of the Hellmarric empire’s rule have begun to replace what was a semi-rigid democratic monarchy with a more direct and controlling method of rule, in which the military plays a pivitol part. While in reality this means little to the day-to-day running of the Empire, it does mean that the military can be a tad more forceful when it so desires to be…
Key political figures within The Hellmarric Empire
Damien James Hellmarr: Current ruling ‘Politico Rex’ of the Hellmarric empire. Predominantly a fire-headed person who wishes to see the Hellmarric empire become more of an empire than simply a Hellmarran refuge. Expansionistic opinions have seen him rapidly updating and re-building the Hellmarran Armed Forces in previous years.
Chancellor-Elect Karen Minora: The first female representative in the Reichan council of five, Karen Minora is the Chancellor-Elect of the Hellmarric Empire when the empire wishes to relate to issues facing all peoples within the lands of Reicha. Rumour has it she is also the private interest of Politico Rex Hellmarr as well.
General Michael Roberts: The alter-ego of Karos in all ways, and the more trusted with political opinions. Michael is predominantly an advocate of returning to the power of the Imperial Dynasty, and sees the expansionist views of the new Politico Rex as the first step towards making the nation strong enough to become a power in the region once more.
ECONOMY
Like most of the black Reich, the Hellmarric empire runs predominantly off internal trade with the country, as little in the way of international exports or imports is ever accepted by the Reichans, who are proud of maintaining themselves as a self-sufficient people. The primary product of the Hellmarric Empire is their large quantities of iron mining and cattle ranching workers, the semi-arid and desert like areas making the minerals and cattle the few workable fields of power. The coast however, does provide a significant fish market due, though this is commonly put to one side so as to allow the smaller island empires within the oceanic regions of Reicha to maintain a competitive field, but with recent discoveries of precious mineral seams and natural oil under said island empires, this point of view may change in the future.
Military
The military of the Hellmarric empire is a mixture of the equipment that, whilst in some cases would appear old and outdated, are actually remarkably effective in battle.
The main military force of the nation is the Hellmarric Imperial Army, at a standing strength of 74,000 troops, of which 37,000 are front line, the Hellmarric Imperial army is equipped with some surprisingly capable, if antiquated looking, equipment.
The Hellmarric Imperial Air Arm is also a capable opponent, however, its fighter aircraft do lack in speed against more modern aircraft, and a replacement is rapidly being sought out. The most promising aircraft to replace Hellmarric ‘Swoop’ class fighters in the front-line air superiority role being Dynastic Arms ‘Obliviator’ class aircraft. The numbers within this service comprise roughly 22,000 personnel, with 3,000 aircrew
The Hellmarric Air Arm’s most dangerous aircraft is its powerful ‘Destroyer’ aircraft, equipped with two engines, and a judicious amount of weaponary in the form of heavy cannons, these aircraft are dangerous adversaries to both enemy bomber formations and ground units.
The Hellmarric Navy is relatively light on the surface, with their flagship being the HNS Promethon, the sole heavy battleship of the Hellmarric Navy. The navy itself is predominantly occupied with defending the shallow seaward approaches to Hellmarr itself, and is mainly comprised of light cruisers and motor torpedo boats. However, as Dynastic beliefs sink into the navy, a small number of heavier, longer range submarines are being developed… this has caused concern for the island states within the Black Reich, who have since voiced their opinions to the Hellmarric Chancellor-Elect within the High Reichan conference chambers. Total numbers of personnel count to being about 34,000, of which roughly half are seagoing personnel due to the small number of dedicated naval bases – most naval assets are docked at civil ports and simply provided a small security guard when not on active naval use.
