Please give a brief description of your climate and geography: the geography varies as there is 10 different countries all under one banner. Rodstov, Grenoda, Domácí, Volograd, Dmitry-vikovsk, Goropovikovsk, Kislovo, Nalchikovsk, Vladikavka, and Grozno. however these countries share a similar geography. Ranging South west to North east is a slowly increasing Precambrian Igneous and high grade metamorphic rock aka a geological "shield" at the far end of the shield there is a mountain range stretching from the artic ocean down along the countries eastern border. This creates a series of ridge lines increasing in elevation until it reaches the foothills in the north east. Climate in the region allows for a hot short summer and a long snow and cold winter.
Please give a brief description of your national ethnicities and culture: Slavic/Russian speaking peoples have controlled this country since the 1900's fully removing the Arabian culture though it is still practiced in the mountains to the east.
Please give a brief description of your national history: Rodstov and Grenoda often called a melting pot of two unique cultures, has a long history of turbulence. Based on archaeological evidence, urban civilization began in the region between 3000 and 2000 BC. The first historical documents date from the early part of the the first Rodstovian Dynasty, which controlled the area from 550 BC until 331 BC.
Between 331 and 327 BC, A great civil war broke out which lasted several months which defeated the Emperor Sightus (a Grenodian) and squashed local resistance. Alexei the leader of the resistance and his successor, a female warrior by the name Novotná, brought Russo-Rostovian cultural influences to the region. Shortly thereafter, the Mauryan Empire gained control of southern Grenoda, bringing with it Buddhism. In the mid-third century BC, nomadic tribes of Kushan decent established an empire that became a cultural and commercial center (60s–375 AD). From the end of this kushan empire in the third century AD until the seventh century, the region was fragmented and under the general protection of the Novotnáian's that swept and united the northern regions creating the current province of Rodstov.
In 642 AD, Arabs raiders invaded the entire region and introduced Islam. Arab rule gave way to the Persians, who controlled the area until conquered by the Turkish radiers in 998. Following the short-lived dynasty, various princes attempted to rule sections of the country until the Mangolian rough riders invasion of 1219, led by Henghis. Following Henghis's death in 1227, a succession of petty chiefs and princes struggled for supremacy until late in the 14th century, when one of his descendants, Tamerians, incorporated both Rodstov and Grenoda into his own vast Asian empire.
In 1747, Hmad Ghah Rurrani unified the Pashtun tribes and created the Durrani Empire, which is considered the beginning of modern Grenoda. In the late 19th century, Grenoda became a buffer state controlled by the now defunct state of the Republic of New Mesa and Rodstov. On August 19, 1919, following the third Masian-Rodstovian war, the country of Grenoda regained full independence from the Republic of New Mesa.
A brief foray into democracy ended in a 1973 coup and a 1978 Communist counter-coup. The Slovik Union invaded in 1979 to support the frail Afghan Communist regime, sparking a long and destructive war. The USSR withdrew in 1989 under relentless pressure from internationally supported anti-Communist Grenodian rebels. After a subsequent series of civil wars, in 1996 Domácí, a large crossroads town that lay in between Rodstov and Grenoda fell to the mountain men from a long dead empire, a hard-line Islamic-sponsored movement that emerged in 1994 to end the country's civil war and anarchy. Following the September 11, 2001, The second Slovik Union attacked and successfully captured both provinces of the current country of United Armed Republic of Rodstov and Grenoda. This finally United the country under one banner however the people were still under a foreign regime.
In December 2004, Karel Malý, a Grenodian farmer led a revolt attacking a seizing weapons and arms from the Slovkian Armed Forces. With this and a united Grenodian Milita Karel led his forces north to capture Rodstov from the Slovkian's This is where he met Martina Novotná and her bodyguard Michal Petrina attempting to flee the Slovkian regime. She explained to Karel that she was a direct descendant of the original Rodstovian and Grenodian leader. She then asked Karel to retake Rodstov with her help. Martina was able to rally many Rodstovians and Grenodians to create the AFRG. This was also the first of the famous regiments were created. The First Czech Origin Rifles Division, made from the a combined Rodstovian and Grenodian Freedom Fighters.
After Summer 2009 after the War for Freedom had finished with the United Slovkian Santionist Republic (USSR) the Countries were finally free of outside power and the standard government was put into organized the country and its military under one flag. The federation was created a few years after when the USSR collapsed and the AFRG moved in.
