Description: The nation of Agrivova is one that formerly consisted of very fertile land, although most of this land was rendered unusable after the Great War. Now, with the primary source of income depleted, most of the land has been used for mining or remains wide open and unused-some of it prairie, other sections rocky and desolate. Desertification has begun to occur in some areas, due to the war and overuse of the land. This is a large problem in the Tyrarconia territory. Most of the population lives in small towns created from post war settlements, and most urban centers have a heavily built up center with considerable suburban sprawl surrounding this urbanized core. Most of the surrounding Islands survived the scarring of the great war, and most are still quite rural and fertile. These islands mostly occur in groups and are usually connected by submerged sand bars-these can present a hazard to any maritime vessel (or potential invader) As such, all foreign vessels must follow carefully planned out approach routes as to avoid running aground. There is a central mountain range (the capital is located in the direct center of this range, underground) and several other small ranges around the coast-usually forming spectacular cliffs that can be hundreds of feet high.
Agrivova is situated at the extreme north of the Atlantian Oceania region-as such, most of the Atlantic Ocean borders to the south, while the neutral and empty Cascade Ocean borders to the north. All storms originate from the Spring Sea area, and move west to east. The rainiest season of the year is Spring-there are frequent storms during this period. The Gulf of Saint Arc region is named for Saint Augustinius Arc, who first lead an expedition to the island of Agrivova in 1592. However, much earlier expeditions must have occured, as there was already a sizable native population on the island, one that was not much different from the Europeia sponsored expedition of Saint Arc.

[Agrivova]

History-
The Early Years (Pre-Founding)
Saint Arc officially 'discovered' the landmass in the year 1592-however, peoples from Europeia must have been interacting with the isle for hundreds of years covertly, as there was no rampant spread of disease as is common in lands discovered by similar expeditions. Also, the 'native' race of Agrivova is 99% physically identical to peoples originating from Europeia-long periods of interbreeding have eliminated nearly all differences. The native language is also very similar to english. Modern historians believe the 'natives' of Agrivova are descended from one of the many 'lost' Eurpoeian expeditions of the Pre-1000 AD era. While records are scarce, it is believed St Arc is credited for his very late 'discovery' as he lead the first actual colonization attempt on the island, rather than simply interacting with the natives through trading ships. The natives of the islands were a warlike and splintered group, usually concerned with invading and raiding other islands off the coast. Piracy, Pillaging, and war were common amongst these island and coastal peoples-who were always vying for the control of trading rights with the passing Europeian vessels. However, the peoples of the mainland were hunters and farmers, generally docile and peaceful. The Europeian colonies generally relied on these mainlanders to help sustain them through hard winters, and gradually they won the favor of the foreigners, who interbred with them and placed them in control over the warlike peoples of the coast. The nation was civilized, and the colony of Agrivova was born (Agri-meaning fertile, and vova, a native term for land). Eventually, the native culture began to die out as the colony became more and more vital to the imperialistic Europeian powers (and thus culturally became more and more similar to Europeia). But after much abuses, the peoples of Agrivova raised a large army and rebelled against their rulers-their centuries of experience in amphibious and counter amphibious warfare helped them secure and hold the colony. Eventually, foreign powers simply stopped trying to take the isle, as grand imperialistic wars began and losses had mounted. Food could be found elsewhere, they said-and the Confederated States of Agrivova was born.

The Confederated States of Agrivova
While turmoil and warfare raged across Europeia, the Confederated states developed into a civilized and advanced democracy. After devastation ruined the Europeian Continent, Agrivova began a lucrative food trade with the war ravaged nations, as well as maintaining strong maritime trade with their Atlantian Oceanian neighbors. Agrivova grew to be rich-they expanded technologically, culturally, democratically. This Expansion lasted for decades. However, after a string of maritime terrorist attacks, the Agrivovan food trade was halted for several months as the system reformed. During this time, other nations jumped on the newly formed power vacuum-gone was the monopoly on food trade in the region. When Agrivovan trade resumed (with tighter security that slowed the process) they simply could not keep up with the new found competition-and the nation slumped into a depression. During this time, the grief ridden workers voted the socialist party into power-and under the leadership of this party, the nation only plunged further into depression. Trillions of dollars of debt built up, industries failed, the people were unhappy. Small business were virtually eliminated, putting many of the self employed farmers who formed the backbone of the economy out of work, as the large government funded corporations would not hire new workers as they themselves worked to pay off high taxes and debts. Finally, these unemployed farmers began to peacefully protest, then assemble to strike, and then openly attack government forces. These were the early days of the 32 year long great war.

The Great War
Eventually, the dissident group began to seriously form into a legitimate political and social organization. The right wing group, identified as NCAF-National (or Nationalistic, depending on the source) Conservative Armed Forces. This group eventually grew to such a size that about half of the population of 305 million seceded-and a government was established. The Loyalists-backers of the government run socialist party, called the situation a civil war and sent military forces to deal with the rebels. However, this conflict would not end so easily. Records of the war are nonexistent or have been pulverized, but we do know several things:
-Most of the national land was rendered unusable to farmers
-There was an extensive use of Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, Flame, and other terror weapons
-Siege Warfare was the norm, with trench lines extending for miles and artillery smashing the land
-2 Consecutive generations fought in the conflict-this will lead to a very uneducated initial populace, as children grew up fighting in the trenches rather than attending schools
-The country was mostly ignored by foreign powers who simply steered clear-however, several foreign arms manufacturers began to move in to capitalize on the situation (Ironically, this would jump start the post war economy)
-The war lasted 32 years, ended after the complete and total annihilation and genocide of the loyalists, and left only 5 million survivors out of a nation of 305 million

Post War
After this war, the NCAF took control of the country, and would work to control the nation.-promising to never allow the state to fall to such a level of depression, international abuse, and military weakness ever again. The First actions of the newly formed government were to round up the weapons in possession of virtually every survivor. While each survivor was allowed to keep 1 pistol (usually a revolver) for self defense in the post apocalyptic wasteland, all other weapons were rounded up and placed in the possession of the military, with the promise to return them once order was restored. It also gave the military a large pool of equipment to initially access. However, while most towns happily joined the Armed Republic, raiders and defectors roamed the wastes, causing serious issues of organized crime which continue to harass heavily damaged areas to this day. On May 27th, the NCAF was officially disbanded-and the Armed Republic of Agrivova was born. The economy was booming, morale was high, and a strong military was being created. The national symbol was chosen to be the Mustang, as it represents freedom and an inability to be tamed by foreign powers. The 15 Stripes on the national flag represent the 30 years of the civil war-the 6 shorter stripes represent the 12 years of fighting by the first generation, while the 9 larger stripes represent the time in which the second generation was alive and involved in the conflict. The Phoenix represents how the AFA has arisen from the ashes to be forged anew-and the spears behind and being held by the Phoenix represent the Agrivovan will to fight to protect their new freedom. The Olive branches are a sign of peace-showing that the Agrivovans are just as open to trade instead of war with foreign powers, should they seek it on fair terms.

Dissolution of the Republic and Formation of the Empire
As the republic continued to grow, a fleet of strange naval vessels beached on the northern-western shore of Agrivova. The people called themselves the Tyrarconians, and spoke of how they had lead a mass exodus from the oppressive dictatorship of their home country and hoped to start a new nation. As this nation formed, they entered into a mutual defense pact with Agrivova, an agreement that was very much one sided against the Agrivovans. Tyrarconia also joined the Agrivovan concieved Atlantian Oceanian Coalition of Delaclava, Agrivova, Tyrarconia, Oraris, and the Final Rome (AOCDATOR) an organization concieved by Agrivova to help protect itself as it grew, and an organization that would expand to hold large positions of power. However, the Agrivovans (because of their mutual defense pact with Tyrarconia) needed so large an army to defend both growing nations that the Agrivovan police was disbanded, and the money channeled into the armed forces. To this day, the police force has not been reinstated, and the army continues to serve as a police force, mercenary force (one of the primary sources of income in a usually income tax free society) and standard military. Prisoners now either duel their way out of trouble in televised spectacles, accept the death penalty, or join the penal battalions of the Military-there are indeed no jails. As the army grew, Agrivovans began to suffer, as so much funding diverted to the military meant less funding to pay for the necessary food imports keeping Agrivova alive. Tyrarconia refused to trade food with them, even after Agrivova continued to provide defense-finally, they had had enough, and Tyrarconia was invaded. Their forces were easily subdued, but the field marshall of the 100,000 man garrison revolted from the government in an attempt to create his own state, launching several nuclear and chemical payloads to seal off the overland entrances to Tyrarconia. eventually, with the help of the Final Rome, a Europiean ally in AOCDAVOR (Grote Vrede had replaced Tyrarconia) the rebels were defeated. However, Tyrarconia was reduced to a barren wasteland-the populous was forced to evacuate to Agrivova or face death. The country of Tyrarconia therefore ceased to exist-the land it once occupied would later be taken over again by Agrivova as a permanent colony. While the land was scarred, the Tyrarconian people were still very much alive-but evacuating them and restoring their land had cost huge sums of money, and the country plunged into a depression on the level not seen since pre great war times. It looked as if the second great war, which had almost started with the rebellion of the Field Marshall, would truly break out any second. Martial Law was declared-the military took over the country and killed any who opposed it. However, the Tyrarconians brought a gift which would end the developing situation-education. Through their teaching and engineering, the country reemerged stronger than ever, constructing vast military projects, an underground capital, and a military of a size never seen before. Their former land was rendered arable-the food problem was solved. The economy boomed. Things looked great, and the nation officially renamed itself the Military Empire of Agrivova, ready to challenge all foes-And ready to expand to take enough colonies too feed its population and no longer have to rely on foreign imports.

Today
Through a complicated situation involving large amounts of international terrorism, the Military Empire of Agrivova is currently at war with it's former Final Roman allies. More information on this topic will be provided once the situation is over. Meanwhile, the nation is under martial law (Corporate Police State) the people are undergoing an emergency tax, and almost all funds are being diverted to defense (well, this is the norm, but anyway...)

[Agrivova]

Economy-
Basics: The Agrivovan Economy is one based upon a multitude of sources. With the government spending over 90% of its funds on defense, most goods and services needed in everyday life are provided by private corporations, of which there are a huge variety. These include everything from fire protection services, tourist groups, gambling associations, mining groups, and technology development corporations. There are even entire firms devoted to genetic engineering! However, the private sector of Agrivova is completely and totally dominated by the Arms Manufacturing Industry-even most of the other industries are working to improve Agrivova's military. For example, genetic engineering is used to create super soldiers and enhance the populace of the nation to improve health and fight better, information technology is used to create an extensive and complex battle network, and mining provides the raw materials needed to locally produce such a large force. The sheer number of companies devoted to Arms manufacturing, however, outnumber all of these other corporations combined

Slavery: With the recent decline in economic strength resulting from the Final Roman war, and the increase in conquered territories under control of the empire, the practice of Pre-Great war slavery has been reintroduced in full. Criminals can be committed to slavery as a one of their punishment, and rebellious citizens or subjects are frequently enslaved to man the huge plantations and factories throughougt the empire.

On The Note of Taxes: Normally, there are no income taxes in the Military Empire of Agrivova-however, in times of crisis or great war (as the Empire is currently engaged in) taxes may be collected from the people. This right is reserved for emergency circumstances only, and is not to be overused

Military-(Needs Major Expansion)
The Military is the pride and joy of Agrivova-nearly anything the country does is based upon creating a stronger and more powerful force. The government almost exclusively spends on the military, and as such a disproportionately large force has been created in Agrivova.

Civilians and the Military : Military life officially begins once a citizen reaches 12 years of age. At that time, MALE citizens must register for the draft, and ALL citizens must purchase a firearm (Firearm ownership is compulsory for all persons 12 or older). There are no restrictions on the type of firearm purchased, as there are no gun control laws whatsoever. Citizens are eligible to drive at age 16-at this time, FEMALE citizens must register for the draft. All commercially available vehicles are at least armored, and most of them are not only armed, but tracked-this helpes protect against crimes, allows the craft to double as heavy machinery (farming, transport, etc.) and provides a large reserve of militarily viable vehicles to be used in case of invasion. At age 18, ALL citizens must complete a term of mandatory military service-this is 1 year long for females, and 2 years long for males. The purpose of this term is for qualification on their chosen weapon and vehicle, training for general military knowledge, and preparation should they ever be drafted or required to lead a guerilla campaign. The Draft can be instituted-this is normally done in sections, but theoretically, anyone over the age of 12 can be drafted in an emergency situation (IE imminent large conflict or defeat) The regular armed forces are made up of volunteers-conscripts usually take over the logistical roles of the military, allowing professional soldiers to move to the front lines. In times of mass conscription, Front line combat units will be organized-this is one of the few times the Commissar is actually used in combat. These front line combat units operate similarly to the Penal Battalions.

Agrivovan Army:
The Combat Strength of the Agrivovan army (IE discounting any logistical positions filled by conscripts) is: 8,134,218 Troops. The army prides itself in it's specialization-for example, there is no 'infantry' unit. Rather, all units are divided by category, then further divided by class. Aside from light infantry units (designed to take mountains or support motorized/mechanized infantry in taking cities) ALL infantry units have organic transport of some kind. The Agrivovan military is very vehicle heavy. It also has a massive fleet of helicopters to assist in ground support or transport roles. Since there is no marines brach (to simplify logistics) the army operates a variety of amphibious assault units. Overall, the army specializes in Amphibious and airborne warfare, as well as quick armored and mechanized strikes against a foe. However, conscript units frequently make use of trench and siege warfare, a sharp contrast to the highly mobile style of the professional army.

Agrivovan Air Force:
The Agrivovan Air Force consists of 55,638 Fixed Wing Aircraft, with a large number of supporting helicopters. Most of these aircraft are cargo craft, but a sizable number of them are combat craft. Of particular note is the large amount of carrier borne aircraft (Naval Aviation is a joint division of the Air Force and navy, their numbers are included above). Agrivova is known to operate hypersonic spy planes, and a 6th generation fighter is currently undergoing testing and being produced in small quantities. The Agrivovan air force could be best described as a 'jack of all trades' organization-however, large amounts of the cargo craft are needed to transport elements of the colossal army

Agrivovan Navy:
The Agrivovan Navy Consists of 2,916 Ships, Including all of it's noncombat vessels. There are large amounts of carriers and amphibious groups, but the Agrivovan navy truly prides itself in it's submarine force-there are even submersible carriers and amphibious assault ships present in the ranks! There is still quite a sizable surface fleet, however.

Other Branches:
-The Mysterious P-111X Project: More information will be available once the project is revealed in the war
-Project Sabaton: A large chemical based laser, designed for missile defense and as an anti-orbital weapon, complete with 4 smaller defense lasers and a system of reflecting satellites to increase range
-SLAMS: A grid of orbital weapons designed to engage ICBM's and attack ground targets
-Project SPARTAN: Genetically enhanced super soldiers, raised in special operations companies of 300
-Project FHUS: Genetically engineered human 'computers' designed to scan the battle network for intrusion by enemy viruses and to provide calculations and strategies at lightning fast speeds
-Special Operations: Normally work in companies of 15, the 'regular' human counterpart to the Spartans

Defenses: Being a Military state, Agrivova is well defended. The 121 Major Island surrounding the mainland all contain military installations, used to form an early warning system and a ring of defensive island forts containing artillery, AAA, SAM, and rockets, etc that will have to be breached before any assault on the mainland occurs. On the Mainland itself, all high command facilities and the chemical laser grid are housed within the underground capital, and most significant military installations are built into the mountains (in a fashion similar to the modern day swiss system) On the sections of the coastline not in immediate proximity to these mountains (and the bases they contain) A large defensive network-similar to the atlantic wall has been constructed. Beaches near the mountain bases, and those on the smaller islands remain untouched, allowing tourists and vacationers to continue to make use of them. Also, the sand bars are frequently navigated by submarines and combat vessels, in order to ensure these vessels can navigate their way through the labyrinth of dangers-these also help channel potential invaders into well defended potential landing zones.
