The Struggle for Antrinea
OOC THREAD
Antrinea has always been a nation with a troublesome past, 50 years previously a revolution overthrew the royal family and set up a parliamentary republic with the State Duma holding power. All was peaceful and for 30 years a series of progressive left wing governments led Greater Antrinea through a period of prosperity and peace. However, a change in national opinion caused the left wing to fall from favour and the right wing rose. For 20 years right wing governments led the nation and, though spending was cut and the left wing elements in the Duma became more aggressive, the nation saw no general change. That was until the presidency of Ruslan Vitalievich Strelnikov. Strelnikov was a risk taker from Tobria Province and he envisioned mass right wing reforms to the government. These were not welcomed in the Duma and tensions grew and grew throughout Strelnikov presidency.
Tensions came to a head at the fateful Bruskalov protest. A soldier, a lowly recruit, dispatched to keep the peace during the protest, became spooked. A bullet, one single bullet, shattered the peace of 50 years as the protest quickly went from peaceful to violent. The protests spread and spread throughout the country. The fuel to the fire came in the form of a Parliamentary announcement, the Duma, radicalised by left wing politicians, renounced the government and declared it unfit to rule. To Strelnikov this was unacceptable, a Duma corrupted by the left had no rule over him. He rejected the calls to resign and the nation took sides.
Now, a year on, war rages across the nation...
