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.

A Bit more about the UBR

The Official Ideology of the Junta/military council is a
BALCOL which is an Abreviation for Baltic Collectivism
This ideology was created by the Junta and its an excuse to them to make all the rule and then justify it by saying its Balcol thought
One goal of Balcol is the reach Balutop which is another abreviation for Baltic Utopia. This is the most important goal of the Junta's Balcol ideology, to reach Balutop.

BSA (Baltic Security Agency) is the secrete police that infiltrates all sections of society, spying and tracking down internal and external enemies. Only the most loyal and indocrinated are made to join the security forces

BAL (Baltic Anti-decadence legue) This is a movement for every citizen to join. all members are given slightly bigger rations and so almost every citizen joins it. Its mainly 2 hours everyday of brainwashing, burning the old flags, watching propaganda movies and learning about the overly evil luxuries of the past.

BP (Baltic Patriots) Is the youth movements for children aged 2-18
All babies are born in birthing centers and after they are born they are taken away from their birth parents forever and put into State run academies for indocrinating and brainwashing children. the youth organisation runs all the schools. While at the academy they do their education. on their 15th birthday children are given an exam to see how indoctrinated they are. after their evaluation it is decided whether or not they are to join the security forces. after they turn 18 their life in the BP ends and they join the army until they turn 23 they are dropped into society to live a civilian life.

BPL (The Baltic Purity League) This is a section of the society that work for the department of Nationality. These citizens hunt down and root out all foriegn and refugee's on Baltic soil to be taken to labour or death camps. For joining this organisation the citizens are given benfits like access to higher governmental jobs and reduced cost in permits to travel to different areas and towns of the baltics.

All the cities are in ruins and the people live in crowded shanty towns and they occupy any ruins they can to find shelter, The citizens have no possesions as they are either stolen or destroyed. A food truck sets up ration stores at different areas of the day to distribut small rations to the population. There is one area in every town where a massive TV screen stands for propaganda rallys. they are all wired to the main government so Speeches and propaganda can be shown at the same time. The Government also portrays the 1950's as the paradise era, humanity was perfect ect. and because of this the civilians wear 50's style clothing but the cloths are usually worn and torn.

Secretly the government wants threats and conflicts so they can continue to control the population by using thier fears and promising them security if they rally to the government. While in peace time the government uses the goal of reaching Balutop (Baltic Utopia) to control the population and keep them loyal But the government exaggerates the refugee problems and the threast of invasion to always keep the people scared.
