.:: Short History ::.

All events and names depicted in these posts are purely fictional and of my own creation, for the sake of roleplaying.

United! [October 3rd, 1990]

With the fall of the Soviet Union, and the subsequent reunification of West Germany with the East after decades under Soviet Russian control, Europe paused and breathed for the first time since World War Two. The German people were finally united once again, proud to be who they were, and proud to have survived the burdens left behind by Adolf Hitler and the hypocritical Soviets, who were arguably even worse than the Nazis. The people were free, and NATO forces withdrew from Germany except for the Americans, who currently occupy only a handful military installations in cooperation with the Bundeswehr (the German military). With the help of the Americans, and more importantly, with the unbelievable resolve of the German people, Germany rose to become a world power once again.


Rebellion! [May 31st, 1993]

Throughout the history of mankind, few people have ever been able to describe the universe around us, and none have ever understood it. History is not as we know it.

On the 31st of May, 1993, an international rebellion broke out in many of the world superpowers, including both America and Germany. The plans had been drawn out even before the fall of the Soviet Union and the reunification of Germany, and had been in effect for many years. Despite the best efforts of the affected nations, an unnamed group managed to launch several attacks worldwide. Both America and Germany seemingly became fascist states as a result, in the interest of national defense.


Rebellion, take two! [November 20th, 1993]

In the months following the government changes, Germany grew in prominence, increasing the size of the military. The increasingly hostile foreign policies of both nations began to wear on the people, leaving hundreds of military officers dissatisfied, most eager to leave after their home nations had strayed from what they used to represent. Freedom. Liberty. Justice. No more.

On November 20th, 1993, the Germanian Alliance was secretly formed between several high ranking officers from America and Germany. Originally, it was meant to stand up in rebellion, though it was decided to it would be best if they simply took their loved ones and left, and they would do so even if it meant war. In the following weeks, plans were drawn to escape, the officers taking with them thousands of men under their command, who in turn took their families as well.

Two fleets, one from each corresponding nation, met in the Atlantic for scheduled war games. In silent agreement, the admiral of each fleet broke formation and set course for the region of Sapphire. All was going as planned before their motives were discovered, leaked by enlisted personnel in America. Several fleets were deployed to intercept, resulting in one of the largest naval battles in history. For the duration of the battle, a former American aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Redemption, played the song The Journey Home over the radios and speakers. The song echoed across the waves, even as the carrier took hit after hit and the crew abandoned ship. Both combined fleets were left in shambles, with tens of thousands dead, the majority unaccounted for, lost to the abysmal ocean. The Germanian Alliance fleet left the battle with less than a quarter of its original numbers remaining. The U.S.S. Redemption sank slowly, but even as it was swallowed by the water, it played the song. It was this event that lead to the song becoming the national anthem, and more importantly, the birth of a country.

As the news of the battle spread throughout America and Germany, both countries were helpless as seemingly entire divisions deserted to join the newborn Germanian Alliance.


Aftermath [November 13th, 1994]

Oddly enough (and for the sake of roleplaying), the rest of the world continued on as if these events never took place. Both America and Germany were left as we know them today, yet, as a testament to human resolve and the blood shed in the name of freedom, the Germanian Alliance remains. Since the days of the rebellion, the small nation has grown into a large nation, clinging to its roots and the former glory of the home countries. In the wake of the bloodshed, the country has relegated its forces to international peacekeepers, and is looking into alternative technologies to replace their predominately American hardware.

.:: Geography ::.

Overview

The country of the Germanian Alliance, retaining the name of the organization that founded it after a bloody civil war with both America and Germany, of which the founders of the nation originally came from, is a large nation and quickly growing by either expanding into unclaimed territory or buying off land from neighboring countries.

Geographically, the nation is predominately patternless hills and towering mountains, blanketed in endless forests. However, the eastern border of the nation sits on the coastline, dominated by rolling plains and used for agriculture.

The DRGA experiences extremely mild summers, with temperatures rarely peaking at roughly ninety degrees Fahrenheit (32 Celsius), while the norm is generally around seventy-five degrees. Winters are long and brutal, often making many mountain routes impassible for the duration of the season, though it doesn't get too cold, making the DRGA a popular location for tourists who visit the many ski lodges deep in the mountains every year. In the spring, melting snows reveal winding hiking trails and fishing locations. The countryside is dotted by small and massive castles and keeps alike, left to the elements for centuries by lords of European descent.

A perfect example of the terrain, and a small isolated town in the winter.


Tactical Significance

The fact that the Germanian Alliance is dominated by endless hills, mountains and forests makes it an easily defendable nation, preventing a full-scale invasion. DRGA forces are trained to fight in the nation's mountainous regions, making it near impossible for foreign forces to attack, while letting friendly forces defend and retaliate with ease. In the winter, enemy forces will become bogged down. It is because of these same reasons why Switzerland has never been successfully invaded in history.
