EARTH 2027
In the first years of the 21st century the world was ravaged by nuclear warfare. For no better reason than mutual contempt, hundreds of bombs were dropped on industrial centres, chieftly in the Americas and Asia. This Third World War left most of Earth barren and uninhabitable. Now only Europe stands as the last bastion of human civilization. Its land has been divided into a multitude of states, each holding nothing but disdain for another. Their xenophobic nature is due partly because of the immense influx of immigrants coming from all over the world, and partly because of the strong and omnipresent sense of militarism.
The world of today is a bare, hungry and dilapidated place. Resources are generally invested in the military, and trading between nation is rare. As a whole, the world is more primitive now than it was sixty years ago. Certain areas have advanced, and various fields of warfare have been developed, but most technological researches have stopped. Indeed, the ravages of the atomic war have never been repaired. Cities do not ressemble the huge metropolis of the late 20st century. They are mostly ruins, constantly bombed by other nations, and squatted by the poors and criminals. What little is left of civil life is found mostly in rural areas. There, huge underground complexes are dug to housed the most fortunates. Though amidst all of this savagery, a few states seek to reclaim their lost ground. They have turned their army agaisnt the many groups of anarchists, now ubiquitous in today's world. Their efforts are vain, however. Tensions are rising, and because of the millions of immigrants coming in each day, the search for more land masses has become a priority. And in a world where only but Europe is habitable, war is imminent.
HISTORY
Ever since the discovery of the atomic bomb, nuclear warfare on a global scale became an imminent thing. Since the dawn of civilization, war has always been part of human society. The end of the Cold War and the emergence of the United States as the sole super power only delayed the inevitable. Such a vast arsenal had to be put into use one way or another.
In the nineteen's, the rapid progression of global capitalism compelled the People's Republic of China to enlarge its sphere of influence. They first invaded Tibet, followed by Taiwain several weeks later. Their growing military strength threatened even Japan. Eager to help their Japanese Ally and desirous to assume full control of the world's economy, the United States declared war soon afterwards.
China's gargantuan army is one of the reason the United States came to atomic war. They knew that an invasion of Chinese mainland would result in miiions of casualties and no decisive victory in the end. Thus they began a defensive war, building their armament little by little lest the other should act first. However, this relative "peace" came to an end soon afterwards. It happened on the Fourth of October 1995. Through misinformation, The U.S Navy stationed around the Japanese coast opened fire on Chinese Ship. China replied by bombing Los Angeles with long-ranged bombers. More powerful missiles and bombs were later use, until it all escalated in a Nuclear War. The entire thing could have lasted a few days. Hundreds of missiles were launched simultaneously, each were assigned to a precise a target; cities usually. Millions of lives ended in a flash.
Europe neither took side nor action. It stood powerless as it watched in horror America and Asia become but a waste. At first, help was given. Both sides received plenty of aid, but the intensity of the carnage was such that all attempts at recovery were vain. Soon, European Nations blamed another for this atrocity. The Western part of Europe was mainly in favor of the now destroyed United States, while the East sided with what little remained of the People's Republic of China.
War swept Europe in the first days following the new millennium. Knowing perfectly what fate had it stored for them, European nations did not come to an all-out atomic war. Only but a few bombs were dropped. They opted for mass infantry warfare. This Third World War was quite alike to the first World War. The proximity of European nation forced them to rely on mass infantry wave, and vast bombardement.
To be continued.
TECHNOLOGY:
As mentioned, technology has barely advanced. The only noticable improvement are concerning warfare or espionage. Though these breakthrough are rarely seen due to lack of resource. New guns and tanks are produced, but only few. Most weapon and armored vehicle seen on today's battlefields date back from twenty to forty years ago. Nuclear Warheads are part of every nation's armament but are never use. Of course, no treaties of any kind have been signed. But through tacit consent, nations have agreed to end atomic warfare for the sole reason of preserving what little power they have left, knowing perfectly that a fifth nuclear war would surely result in the annihilation of the human race.
WEALTH:
Life in Today's World parallels one in a besieged castle. Wealth can be determine by only but a piece of horseflesh. Most currencies have disappeared. Countries rely on nationalism to fill their army and industries, and provide food and shelter in exchange for work or military service. Little things such as pots and warm clothes are now extremely valuable and often traded for services. Weapons can also be seen in today's market, but their omnipresent have render them cheap. Indeed, an assault rifle would be easier to obtain than a box of chocolate. This is due mostly by the massive weapon production of the early 21 century. Murders, robbery etc, are now rampant, and only kept in check by the many but disorganized paramilitary organizations and military.
IMMIGRATION:
Nuclear warfare has left most of the world uninhabitable. Save for Europe, there is no more land from which the human race may flourish and grow. This has compelled the surviving population of Asia, Africa and the Middle East to seek shelter within the prevailing states. These immigrants were not welcomed. Some were sent out in force labor camps, others were shot on sight. Although the government officials wont openly admit it, but genocidal acts are now a common thing. They are not only carried to preserve food and such, but by xenophobic contempt. Only but a few rebellious organizations try to prevent these acts. They are led by immigrant themselves, and are locked in endless conflict agaisnt European Nations.
RULES AND GUIDELINES
This is your traditional "1984, ravaged world etc" nationstate rpg. In order to join, you need to make a small factbook for your nation and choose one country of Europe. These will be fictional countries. You cannot call an area, say England or Russia. You have to make everything up.
Claims will be made on this map. The map posted here will be the official map. No other map may be used.
http://i2.tinypic.com/6f7bhgn.png
The number of claims will be determined by the time of your joining.
First 3 Members: 10 Provinces.
4 to 7: 7 Provinces.
7 to 10: 4 Provinces
10 to 14: 2 Provinces
The rest: 1 Provinces.
PROVINCES
There is 129 provinces in total. They will each have specific advantages and disadvantages depending on the region they are. They are Eastern Provinces, Western Provinces, Northern and Southern Provinces. They will be divided thus:
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/Darth_Sin/PROVINCES.png
WESTERN PROVINCES
Population: 12 Million Each Province.
+ Population.
+ Infrastructure.
+ Economy.
+ Technology.
- Natural Resources.
- Oil.
- Agriculture.
EASTERN PROVINCES
7 Million Each Province.
+ Natural Resources.
+ Oil.
+ Agriculture.
+ Nationalism. (Add 100 000 soldiers to your military).
- Population.
- Infrastructure.
- Economy.
SOUTHERN PROVINCES
9 Million Per Province.
-+ Population.
-+ Economy.
-+ Infrastructure.
-+ Natural Resources
+ Agriculture.
- Oil.
NORTHERN PROVINCES
5 Million Per Province.
+ Infrastructure.
+ Oil.
+ Natural Resource.
+ Navy.
- Technology.
- Agriculture.
ALTHOUGH IT MAY SEEM THAT WESTERN PROVINCES HAVE AN ADVANTAGE , THEIRS ARE RELATIVELY SMALL COMPARED TO OTHERS. FOR EXEMPLE, WESTERN PROVINCES ARE MORE TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED, BUT IT IS ONLY BY LITTE. THEIR ARMY MIGHT USE A FAMAS OR AN HECKLER AND KOCH G36 COMPARED TO AK-47es AND WHATNOT.
Rules are as follow:
1) Wankers will be ejected.
2) Inactive nations will be ejected.
3) Be Realistic.
4) Everything your nation aquires must be rped. Except for the obvious, of course.
5) Nations will only be able to use nuclear warheads with my consent.
6) Have fun.
People who start off with a small number of provinces will be able to progress. If a large inactive nation gets kicked off, you might be the one who gets his claims, and therefore his population. Active nations and Good roleplayers will be rewarded. At any given time will I be able to add a large number of province or population to a nation, if you are worthy. So remember, BE ACTIVE, and write GOOD POSTS, and you'll get plenty of stuff.
YOUR FACTBOOK
Factbook must be written in this fashion:
Formal Name:
Type of Government:
Head of State:
Head of Government:
Population:
Important Cities:
History: Write a few paragraphs. A single one will be considered bare minimun.
Current Standings: Same as above.
Military: Your military will usually consit of 10% of your total population. Its strength is determined by the number of provinces you have. The more of them you have, the more advance your armament gets. You will also be able to have more tanks and aircrafts. Though tanks or armored vehicles might be somehow common, aircrafts (especially jets) and battleships should remain rare.
Paramilitary: Every nation is require to have at least ONE paramilitary organization. They will be under your direct control, but I can take control over them when I choose to. If your nation goes into war or is in a rough state, and I see that you are handling things poorly, I may have them try to topple your regime (this will NOT happen often) ONLY THEN WILL I BE ABLE TO ASSUME CONTROL OF IT. This is to add a sense of chaos and depravity into the game. Everything else regarding your Paramilitary organization will of course be determine by you.

Former Switzerland Now known as the Empire of Bern (or whats left of it)
Post war History:
Many people in switzerland hid in the tunnels created during world war two. Many of its military units were also moved there. However with the diminishing of oil supplies people are starting to turn to hand arms and solar power
Economy: Being a formally neutral nation Switzerland only suffered several nukes and the majority of its infrastructure and industry remain intact. However due to a lack of power and gas people gather around farming communities instead of the former cities as the infrastructure is beginning to be reclaimed by the plants.
Military: most men own a gun and know how to use it
Foreign relations: Secluded by the mountains since the EMP there has been no contact with the outside world.
rebels: less than most countries though still some acts are commited.
Nuclear Status: Several hidden unfinished bombs were completed after the apocalypse and are going to be used as a laser resort weapon
Defensive status: Many WW2 forts are being brought back to service and quipped with whatever artillery there is and hopefully will deter any invader
Population: 5,000,000-6,000,000

We'll need to have a set claim form, and an accurate account of populations, but from Firehelper's assumption of populations, we just divide the regular populations in half? I want to claim the former nation of Germany, and it will be united under the Empire of Carloginian States
I'd be interested in taking over France.
I'll get a factbook up a little later.
what is the name of your nation?
Candistan
07-05-2007, 04:30
May I change my claim to just Great Britain? The name would be the Free British Republic.
Name: Free British Republic
Postwar History: After the War, the new British Gov't, under Chancellor Charles Owen, began to construct massive strongholds in Edinburgh and London. Due to its island geography, it has been able to stem the influx of immigrants down to nearly zero. The countryside is filled with anarchist rebels, and all contact between cities is done utilizing armored roadways.
Population: 34,500,000
Military: The military took control of the gov't after the war, therefore spending on it is high. Most are highly trained with several reserve brigades in case of an emergency.
I guess I can change your claim.

I'll take Greece and I'll be Sparten Federation...ill post fact book in a bit
Pop. 10,000,000
Economy: Complete distrust of the weak that live out side of Sparta, trade is limited. A completly self-dependant state focuses extra resources on Military.
Military: Though there standing army is small, every single member of the nation bears arms. Each are equipted and ready for war.
Nuke: very little war heads exists from the pre-war days. The government puts alot of money into discovering how to create more
Government: a single party facist state, the people enjoy a few civil freedoms
Culture: the people of the Federation demand strenth and look down upon the weak. They value power and glory more than anything else in the world

Well you really can't just divide the nations in half. I picked Switzerland because of its lack of major cities and neutrality. Possibly the only major cities to be nukes were geneva (for its international institutions) and bern( the capital). Also being a neutral nation they might not have been nuked at all. However, the resulting chaos of the nuking of many major cities (of which the surrounding ocuntries have many) would cause an economic colapse, famine, lack of power, etc. killing many people. In reality the popultion lost should be 1/4 but for a country like the UK, of which most of its popultion lives in southern england, might lose 1/2-3/4ths witht he majority of those surviving in scotland.
Also you have to take natural resources into account. You can't nuke every city, base, road, town, house, etc. so all nations will have the majority of their tanks and other stuff like that. However, most European countries would have no oil. If someone was ukrane and they could refine oil they could have the only armoured force in the continent (not that it could get into my mountains)
please consider this while making a fact book (time to change my population to 3/4)

Ok, I don't have a good picture program, so I kinda just colored in what I want.
Formal Name: The Union of Northwestern France, Belgium, and the Netherlands
Type of Government: Parliamentary Democracy
Head of State: President Thierry Montalet
Head of Government: Prime Minister Francois Capugue
Population: 48,000,000
Important Cities: Paris, Calais, Brussles, Amsterdam
History: Though Europe was spared more than the Americas and Asia in the apoctalyptic nuclear conflict, it still did not emerge unscathed. In the aftermath of the chaos, all formal government was dissolved, and people began to form their own "countries." One such as this was the UNWFBN.
They decided to adopt governmental policies like their own formal nation, thus the creation of a Parliamentary Democracy, the president elect, Thierry Montalet, was French, and the Prime Minister, Francois Capugue, Belgian. The military is comprised of fairly modern weaponary, due to the high standard of the British and French armed forces. The Belgian national police force was adopted, and includes both the Netherlands' and the French's.
Current Standings: The nation is currently in a state of organized chaos, and the leaders sometimes struggle to maintain order.
Military: 4,800,000
Paramilitary: Rijkswacht- The Belgian national military police force has now been expanded to encompass the Dutch Koninklijke Marechaussee and the French Gendarmie Nationale.

Spartan Federation Fact book
Formal Name: Spartan Federation
Type of Government: Military Coup with communist views on economy
Head of State: General Ares, holds most of the government power, is commander and chief of Military Operations and is seen by the people as the true figure head
Head of Government: President Tyrannus
Population: 140,000,000
Important Cities: Sparta, Fleet Anchorage, Falcon Point, Fort Nero
History: The Spartan Federation was once a paramilitary group that was in modern day Greece. The former government was a failing republic in witch no power was given to the people. As the federation began to gain more support they overthrew the government. The Spartan Federation was born. The Federation grew as it absorbed near by Balkan states. The country went threw a era of peace for a year before Gen. Ares angered local Islamic paramilitary occupying Modern Day Turkey. Sparta waged war with the Nation and ended up with two new regions under its belt. The Muslim-Spartan war gave the growing nation a since of patriotism, one that is unmatched in the world, despite the fact that the people have no political or economic freedoms and little civil freedoms. In the last few months the Federation made another land grab this time the Unorganized territory of Sicily. Anarchy reigned in this region, so when Lt. Serra declared her self governor of island, the province quickly became part of the Federation.
Government: The government of Sparta, is a simple one. Almost all power is in General Ares. The little remain power is put in the hand of the President. The President does most of the work and is the political leader of the country, acting as the Sec. Of State, Vice President and head of economics. The nations economic situation is monitored by military. People work on a variety of projects a day, from manufacturing to farming to building. Wealth and food is distributed through local “Vaults”. Each city of county has its own vault. In times of peace the military brings supplies from the vault to the people.
Current Standings: The nation is begging to emerge as a new economic power house. Though it remains small on the international scale, it strives to be self-sufficient. The Spartans to not approve of relying on others. Having cut relations with the world the President urges General Ares to seek alliances, though Ares idea of reaching out to the world is conquest.
Military: With a man(and woman)power of 14,000,000, the Spartan Federation has a force to be reckoned with. An assortment of tanks, and artillery are numerous, while the navy and air force is a bit lacking. There is still a good sized fleet under the federation compared to other nations, but its army is the core of the group. In times of peace the military works on anti-military and anti-immigration issues as well as overseeing the nations economy.
11,400,500 Army
3,500,000 Navy
500 Airforce
Paramilitary: Being a semi-communist nation, the anti-group is the black market paramilitary group the Blood Traders. The Blood Traders are in numerous nations thought the region. In the Federation they trade what little goods people have for tasks or other items. For example ,when food is needed, they give the region food, taking the excess manpower, or ammo with them. At first the Federation used the Blood Traders to do their job for them, but soon the people stopped relying on the government. Now days the government try’s to track down traders before they get a foothold in the region. Much to the dismay of the Federation the Blood Traders have already branched out into nearby provinces, bringing more goods into the region.

Hey I would Love to get in on this
let me know if anything is wrong ok
I would like to clain Estonia, Lativia and Lithuania, the three baltic provinces. These are 3 provences
Formal Name: Union of Baltic Republics
Type of Government: Military Junta, under control of the head generals
Head of State: the Military Junta rule the nation jointly
Head of Government: Head General Nurmo
Population: 21
Important Cities:Tallin (Estonian Republic) Vinius (Lithuania Republic), Riga (Latvia Republic)
History: at the turn of the new Mellenium the three baltic republics were sperate independent nations. They were continually bullied and pressured to sign lopsided treaties with russia, then the nuclear war happened. In all the chaos the three baltic states found themsleves on different sides. Lithuania was the most heavily bombed and Lativia took advantage by invading it and annexing it. Next Estonia easily collapesed under the preassure of its own people. Lativia again moved in the annexed that. But the nuclear war was not over. The New Union of Baltic Republics was under a united Coalition war cabinet. the UBR moved into russia but then was repelled and then heavily bombed again.
The UBR then isolated itself and cut itself off from the world. after 3 years still under a coalition war government the Military then staged a bloody coup in the Capital city of Riga. a group of about 20 Generals formed a Junta, Imposed martial law and killed all opponenets and imprisoned hundreds of dissidents. the Baltic Republic then sealed its borders completely with no one getting in or out. Its government then became very extremist, militaristic and Fanatical, propaganda existed everywhere and the military has a presence on everystreet corner. The people live in crowded shanty towns built from scrap and ruins and rubble from the destruction of the bombings. Famine and desiese is common due to the influx of refugees and the borders are becomming tightly sealed. Citizens are encouraged to report foriegners to the authorities, propaganda labels foriegners as Animals, devils and spies
Current Standings: The Union of Baltic Republics have over 950,000 soldiers in the army, The UBR air force was completely obliterated during the war and it is only now trying to rebuild new aircraft. But anti aircraf guns are in every city streets, Roas blocks are in eevrystreet cheacking civilian ID for foriegn spies. the UBR also has a weak Navy of only 2 old ships are not fit for war but were brought back in desperation. Our major cities are a pile of ruins, the citizens live in make shift shacks from what ever they can find, all buildings are just rubble adn ruins, bomb shelters are in every street and in the remains of skeleton buildings. The government has painted the 1950's as the paradise era and because of the extreme social conditioning and the governments portrayal of the 1950's the citizens wear 1950's style clothing, though becasue of the bombing and poverty they turn into dirty raggs. The current government live in an underground compound in Riga. Although the government clains there is no head of state and the Junta rule equally, General Nurmo is really pulling all the strings. He is the head of the government and so he packs the government with his political allies so no one ever disagrees with him.
I hope everything is ok, can i join?

What the hell! I claimed The British Isles a long time ago! Anyways, is it possible for me to trade in my other six provinces for extra population? I really didn't want more than GB.
You didn't post a factbook. People with factbooks have priority. And I'd rather not see you trading land for pop, it map will have less not be full if people started to do that.
And to the guy who said that the population is too high, it's not that unrealistic. The world has immigrated towards Europe. That's billions of people right there.
To the guy who posted before I did: You can only have two provinces. Now I'm going to school. Later.
Its me but i would like to say that many would have died in the Nuclear winter while travelling to Europe, Radio Active dust could have rained all over the world and it would be almost impossiable to travel to Europe in those conditions. We should stick with maybe 70 Million at most for the 10 states, the population increases as the game goes as the Nuclear winter clears and people are able to travel to Europe without having a high chance of dying.
500,000 Airforce
Thats abit over the top don't you think? I don't think the Goverment has the money to maintain such a large Airforce even when 70% of the GDP goes to Military.

Federation of Bern
map (http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/4092/brokenearthqv9gf1.jpg) (provinces with blue)
Formal Name: Federation of the United Provinces of Central Europe
Type of Government: Fedral Democracy
Head of State: President (for life) Louis Aumount
Head of Government: President (for life) Louis Aumount
Political Subdivisions: Southern France, Switzerland, Southern Germany
Population: 30-40 million
Important Cities: Bordeaux, Marselle,St. Topez, Cannes, Vice, Freiburg, Bern, Geneva (of course all the cities have been nukes so whatever remains is a city)
History: The provinces of the Federation of the United Provinces of Central Europe, whose capital is in bern, is fairly short. It was founded in Bern by the surviving members of the swiss Government. Many of the swiss people were also saved by hiding in the tunnels created during world war two. As a result, much of switzerland, with the exception of its major cities, was protected. (also a result of its stance in the war) Soon people sent outside of the alps found a lawless land governend by nothing. Taking the initiative the swiss government "added" territory to its peaceful land and created a swiss "federation." Currently their army is classified and many tanks are used in emergany only purposes. Buildings are run by solar power and swiss factories are currently capible of production. The more targeted region of france however is still in the more basic processes of rebuilding with its main focus on food

Formal Name:Neo-Roman Republic
Type of Government:Republic
Head of State:President elected by the Senate for life
Head of Government:President
Population:60 million
Important Cities:New Roma , Capua
History:The Neo-Rome Republic was founded shortly after the carnage of WW3 the first to come to power in the devasted city of Rome was the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church who provided refuge in the battered city. But the Church was stipped of power when Gem. Artemio Trentino took control of the governemnt. It took only 2 months before the various Italian factions took up arms against the general.
They assasinated Trentino and stormed the Vatican which was at the timthe proxy center of goverment. After quickly taking control they meged all factions into Neo-Rome agreeing that the leaders of the overthrow would become sentaters and alltogether elect a strong leader who could lead them, But who would also have to obey orders that a majority of the Senate approved.
Current Standings: All the various Italian factions have merged together and consolidated central power in Rome.
Military: The Roman army consists of professional soldiers formed into Legions
5 million
Paramilitary: The parmilitary are known as the Praetorian Guard who make oaths to protect thier country from external enemys or internal treachery

May I change my claim to just Great Britain? The name would be the Free British Republic.
Name: Free British Republic
Postwar History: After the War, the new British Gov't, under Chancellor Charles Owen, began to construct massive strongholds in Edinburgh and London. Due to its island geography, it has been able to stem the influx of immigrants down to nearly zero. The countryside is filled with anarchist rebels, and all contact between cities is done utilizing armored roadways.
Population: 34,500,000
Military: The military took control of the gov't after the war, therefore spending on it is high. Most are highly trained with several reserve brigades in case of an emergency.

well thats really not right
Germany has several large deposits of iron and so does britain. Its only a matter of the number, type, and ammount of each recouce scattered throughout the world that matter
Infrastructure
This would be incorrect too. The least populated or neutral countries (like my switzerland) would have the highest technology and infrastructure due to the fact that they weren't nuked as heavily.
Oil- theres always biodesil, vegtible oil and what not
-agriculture withthe smaller population there would be enough land to sustain the population, the only problem is the amount of labor and transport of goods.

If they have a - for natural resources, It doesn't mean that they have none. It only means that it is in lesser quantity.
Infrastructure
This would be incorrect too. The least populated or neutral countries (like my switzerland) would have the highest technology and infrastructure due to the fact that they weren't nuked as heavily.
No nukes were dropped in Europe. I know it wasn't really clear, but that's what I meant by saying that only Europe "prevailed". All cities were just heavily bombed by other states, and the economy fell apart.
-agriculture withthe smaller population there would be enough land to sustain the population, the only problem is the amount of labor and transport of goods.
That's really up to the player to work with his resources. They don't have to transport goods if everyone is back to a "feudal" rule type of thing, which is how I pretty much imagined eastern europe to be. And we can't be 100% realistic, I'm trying to make this fair for everyone.

so +,- oil and such only really counts ingame? And i still dont see the cons of a western nation...
anyhow here is my updated factbook
Spartan Federation Fact book
Formal Name: Spartan Federation
Type of Government: Military Coup with communist views on economy
Head of State: General Ares, holds most of the government power, is commander and chief of Military Operations and is seen by the people as the true figure head
Head of Government: President Tyrannus
Population: 63,000,000
Important Cities: Sparta, Fleet Anchorage, Falcon Point, Fort Nero
History: The Spartan Federation was once a paramilitary group that was in modern day Greece. The former government was a failing republic in witch no power was given to the people. As the federation began to gain more support they overthrew the government. The Spartan Federation was born. The Federation grew as it absorbed near by Balkan states. The country went threw a era of peace for a year before Gen. Ares angered local Islamic paramilitary occupying Modern Day Turkey. Sparta waged war with the Nation and ended up with two new regions under its belt. The Muslim-Spartan war gave the growing nation a since of patriotism, one that is unmatched in the world, despite the fact that the people have no political or economic freedoms and little civil freedoms. In the last few months the Federation made another land grab this time the Unorganized territory of Sicily. Anarchy reigned in this region, so when Lt. Serra declared her self governor of island, the province quickly became part of the Federation.
Government: The government of Sparta, is a simple one. Almost all power is in General Ares. The little remain power is put in the hand of the President. The President does most of the work and is the political leader of the country, acting as the Sec. Of State, Vice President and head of economics. The nations economic situation is monitored by military. People work on a variety of projects a day, from manufacturing to farming to building. Wealth and food is distributed through local “Vaults”. Each city of county has its own vault. In times of peace the military brings supplies from the vault to the people. Education is only to 14, and after that children begin to work. Only in special occasions are children allowed to continue there education.
Current Standings: The nation is begging to emerge as a new economic power house. Though it remains small on the international scale, it strives to be self-sufficient. The Spartans to not approve of relying on others. Having cut relations with the world the President urges General Ares to seek alliances, though Ares idea of reaching out to the world is conquest. There first diplomatic relation will be to find a strong allies that has big ties to oil.
Military: With a man(and woman)power of 6,300,000 , the Spartan Federation has a force to be reckoned with. An assortment of tanks, and artillery are numerous, while the navy and air force is a bit lacking. There is still a good sized fleet under the federation compared to other nations, but its army is the core of the group. In times of peace the military works on anti-military and anti-immigration issues as well as overseeing the nations economy.
4,800,000 Army
1,499,500 Navy(one of the strongest in the region)
500 Air Force
Economy: The Spartan Economy is dominated by agriculture. Crops such as cotton, wheat, grapes, barley, corn and various other fruits and vegetables dominate the countries market. Ranches also dot the landscape of the Federation. Sheep, ox and cows and pigs are the main animals that are found here. Oil is found rarely across the Balkan region, though there are a few more oil deposits in Turkey. Still they demand for oil is high. The various factories of Sparta are average compared to other nations. Arms manufacturing is the first priority, fallowed by construction equipment. In all the economy has more than enough(compared to some regions) to feed its nation, though its need for oil is high. There are plenty of Pre-war arms to go around, but oil always remains a need.
Paramilitary: Being a semi-communist nation, the anti-group is the black market paramilitary group the Blood Traders. The Blood Traders are in numerous nations thought the region. In the Federation they trade what little goods people have for tasks or other items. For example ,when food is needed, they give the region food, taking the excess manpower, or ammo with them. At first the Federation used the Blood Traders to do their job for them, but soon the people stopped relying on the government. Now days the government try’s to track down traders before they get a foothold in the region. Much to the dismay of the Federation the Blood Traders have already branched out into nearby provinces, bringing more goods into the region. Every day the Blood Traders becomes less of a black market more of a paramilitary group. They are now training there personal army almost as well as the Spartan Solders. They fight for a new military coup, one in witch they are in power.

friday/saturday...i cant wait...Also i will include this in my first IC post but Any high oil nations looking for food...and anything else look no further, we are looking for trading partners...I still think that the Southern Europe is screwed over the most with the regions thing tho. Im just deciding to make my nation an Argiculture powerhouse and hope i can find trading partners
Could you replace oil with raw materials or resources? There is way more than oil in the real world.
Hey, could I be part of this, and claim basically Italy (everywhere in it bar the part the Hungarian nation took)? Oh, and of course not Sicily, as Sparta has taken that (though I can see some friction between us due to that :p).
Formal Name: TBA
Type of Government: Socialist Ruled - Romano President For Life
Head of State: Liberatore Romano (loosely translating - first name means liberator, second name Rome - by supporters known as the Liberator of Rome)
Head of Government: Liberatore Romano
Population: 36,000,000
Important Cities: Milan, Bari, Rome, Vatican City (which is now part of the Italian country), Turin
History: Italy initially sided with Western Europe in the growing conflict, though when war became seriously they declared themselves immune to all fighting, and there democratic leader decided they would remain neutral. This move did not help them though, and they soon became venerable after attacks by Eastern European nations, and horrific amounts of bombs were dropped on the Eastern side of Italy, seeing the wide destruction of much of the cities of Ancona and Bari, to mention two. When bombs began to drop on Rome, the people of Italy began to get fed up with there democracy - which seemed too focused on keeping the economy stable to worry about it's citizens. And so, throughout the rest of the war Italy was caught up in savage attacks on it's Eastern side, whilst riots and an uprising began in the country - seeing the deaths of thousands. Shortly before the end of the war the government was overthrown and was replaced by a Socialist one with a charismatic and strong leader, compared to Mussolini, who runs the country much like the Soviet Union - grand military displays are what he prides Italy in, whilst much of his nation lies below the poverty line, with things getting worse not better after the coup, and with them to scared to defy there leader (Liberatore Romano).
Current Standings: The country, due to it's withdrawal from the war, has little relations with other countries. It shows a distaste to nations to it's east and west, though is better with nations of Central and Northern Europe. The wealth of the country is low, with much of the money spent on a massive standing military for grand shows and tough compat, whilst the nation lives in poverty.
Military: 4,060,000
Paramilitary: TBA
It may be a bit too early to do this, but its brief and Italy (mainland, though do the islands count as provinces) is only four provinces. I'll like of a name if accepted, Italy is used just for convinence. Cheers.

Formal Name: The Ukrainian State of Odesa (USO)
Type of Government: Authoritarian
Head of State:
Head of Government:
Population: 7 million
Important Cities: Odesa
History: (Still working on it)
Current Relations: The USO is allied with the Spartan Federation. The two initialy began relations with a trade agreement; specificaly oil. The trade agreement eventually grew into a strong alliance.
Military: 800,000
Army- 600,000
- The army consists of willing conscripts who are armed with Russian weapons.
- Infantry 400,000
- Elite units 5,000
- Support 25,000
- Army airforce 20,000
- Armored 150,000
Navy- 150,000
- When the USSR broke up Ukraine recieved much of the Black Sea fleet. The ships have been kept in good condition and now patrol the waters of the Black and Aegean Seas.
(what would be a realistic fleet?)
Air force- 50,000
The USO has a small air force consisting mainly of Mig-27's although Mig-29's, SU-25's(is this army?) and (bombers) are present.
Paramilitary: Dissenters have formed an organization called the Ukrainian Freedom Fighters (UFF). Much of their acivities involve raiding cargo trucks and ships. They often seem to be more of an organized crime braket than anything else.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The Italian Socialist Union will be looking for allies of similar ideals to them. Marx, there may be a problem with you though considering that you own Sicily, which they are bound to think is there 'rightful' land.

I think me, you and Kamp are signing some kind of treaty to be allied - so yes, sure.
Also, is there a general IC thread for this, as they are always useful for IC posts that do not refer to a single event? I have a few posts I might want to put in it, so it would be good if Turk started one up - I could always start one though.

There are ways to avoid any conflict ever arising, though the unconditional surrender of all of Sicily doesn't probably interest you much :p

Heh good one...Naw sicily provides a good port, another providence and room to annoy you with:D Though i would be willing to think about trading Sicily in for another Providence if the mod allowed it...
well i cant wait for the IC thread to be up. i plan on starting to gather nations and form A C.O.G.. That is if anyone is interested. i was hoping that this earth would be free from multi-national sides, but alas...TG me if your nation is interested in forming a union based on Defence. Sparta is very interested in seeing Replys fromThe Greater Channel Alliance, Free Madrid, The Facist State of Island, Carlognian States and The Ukrainian State of Odesa...

I think the thread will probs be made by Turb, as we should have a general IC thread, though anyone could start it, and anyone can have an IC thread that focuses on say and invasion or forming of an alliance.

I hope this world doesn’t just become two big alliances – obviously I can see Marx you want to start one, but I hope most countries remain neutral – and Italy anyway is very independent so it doesn’t really bind itself to the alliance, or hide behind it.
The Union of Baltic Republics is completely non aligned. we are really xenophobic. we have cut all trade, we have no exports or imports becasue we dont want any tainted foriegn influence. Our boreders are cealed so no one is enetring or leaving, though refugees are streaming across the border. they are a problem for everyone
The UBR recognises all nations but we dont contact anybody we are really isolationist and cealed and we are also do not want to see 2 power blocs or 2 major alliances. Europe should remain fractured like its intended.
Besides our governments need permanent war to control the people to divert resources into the army to keep the people poor, Poor people are easier to control than the rich people, at least our government need permanent war to or a threat of some sort to use the peoples fear to control them
and now a bit of UBR propaganda
This is our land....the workers the soldiers the farmers....this is our land, Fighting, leading, marching, dieing. This is our land. Our dreams, our hopes...our goals. Who is the menace that wants to destroy our life
Shout! shout out! yell at the demons!
(At this point the audience watching or the citizens of the UBR begin shouting
FORIEGNERS! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH TO THE FORIEGNERS!)
and on the screen it shows bizzare and dirty looking Arabs, Africans, Asians and Non baltic looking people, lieing in dust, eating rotting meat, dressed horribly in rags with stupid looking expressions
(Hey this si no offence to anyone but this future says that we are all Xenophobic and so this is Propaganda from our Xenophobic government)

I have no problem with alliances of nations, but I think we need to set some kind of standard at least - for Kansiov and Kamp to be allied to took numerous IC exchanges, for me to join there alliance I have a whole thread as I am still reserved about the world after it's attacks against my nation - but now alliances are forming here there and everywhere.

Formal Name: The Sacred Union of Europa
Type of Government: Theocratic Dictatorship
Head of State: Mahdi Bahaúallah El Mukhtar
Head of Government: General Mohammed De Santiago
Population: 30,000,000
Important Cities: Granada, Salamanca, Valencia, Al Muqadasa.
Government: Though technically the head of state is the Mahdi, and the General takes his orders directly from him, the General technically controls mostly everything, as the armies are loyal to him, since the Mahdi himself is not supposed to be a warlord, though he has come to power through a holy war. This is also because the Mahdi rarely speaks publicly or is seen outside his Sacred Refuge at Al Muqadasa. There are rumors that the general is controlling the Mahdi as a puppet, or that in fact, the Mahdi is dead and it is only a façade being kept up. Who can say? However, there is little true distinction between the General and the Mahdi, since they both serve the same cause, though many are convinced that the general will seize power with the Mahdi's continuing old age signalling his mortality, thus there is little chance of a direct power seizure or rebellion any time soon.
History: During the chaos of the war between China and America and the subsequent disintegration of Unity of the former traditional European nation-states, a radical terrorist group from North Africa called the Holy Warriors of the Most Sacred Jihad, who had wanted a muslim nation to retake the Iberian Peninsula for its historical period of Muslim rule, came under the influence of a particularly notable Islamic cleric by the name of Bahaúallah El Mukhtar, who had been 'unorthodox' in thought. He was quite a radical muslim, but became even more radical during the global conflict, heralding it as the end of the world, but when Europe survived, he began preaching a different tune.
Following a series of mystical dreams, He declared himself Mahdi, a sort of Islamic messiah and began preaching not as a man of the cloth, but as a prophet. He claimed that Europe had been chosen by God for it's fertile lands and temperate climate as the new Paradise on Earth for man, and that it first must be cleansed from the unworthy before it could be retaken by its rightful owners. With the destruction of Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem, he also claimed that the symbol of Islam was destroyed, and that a new religion must sweep the world. He called it simply 'Widha', which meant 'Unity' in Arabic, stating that it would be the final religion, and would finally unite the world. However, first, war must be fought with the infidels for the Wihdaites to earn their way into Heaven.
The group, filled with both extremists convinced by the holy man's words, refugees who would rather die than continue to live in present conditions and people who wished to escape the terrible blight of war, gathered a small, but professional and dedicated army, declared a holy war, launched the campaign without warning and took over a fairly large chunk of Spain. The conquest was short, brutal and efficient. Those who resisted, died. Those who spoke out, were execueted. Only those who desired to live as second-class citizens or convert were spared.
Calling the new state, Europa, with the hope that all of Europe would be united as Wihdaiste state, a new settlement was created as the capital, which was called 'Al Muqadasa'. From there, now, the small but greatly religous and nationalistic state wishes to expand.
Current Standings: Mostly hostile with their neighbors, the Meritocracy wishes to establish at least temporary alliance with anyone willing to help them. They also are considered the champions of refugees, with their stance being anyone displaced by the war may join the state with the garauntee to dedicate themselves to the Widhaiste cause. Thus, many people have fled to the state, with the hope of a better life, but with this bolstering the ranks of the extremely professional armies of the Mahdi. This also causes other indigenous Europeans to condemn them as both invaders and colonists.
Military: 3,000,000 troops. 90% are land troops( 85% Infantry, 10% Tanks and APCs, 5% Artillery) , 8% are naval and 2% are part of the air force.
Paramilitary: There is are two paramilitary groups. One is the FPEA (The Free People of Europa Army) and an underground movement dedicated to overthrowing the Mahdi and his cause, dubbed the Valencian Liberation Army, or VLA. Both tend to cancel each other out, as the first is dedicated to continuing the cause, but preventing the General from becoming head of state, but creating a permeneant council for the election of Theocratic head of state. The other simply to wish to overthrow the Mahdi and push the Wihdaiste invaders back to where they came from. However, should either gain control for any reason, the results could be disastrous.
