[Imperial City-States]

Nation Name:
Vakarian Republic

Military Junta

Ideology:
Fascism

Leader Name:
Chancellor Mark Mason

Political Party(s):
Vakarian People's Necromancer Association (VPNA)
Scientist Guild

Capital City Name:
Necropolis

Map Claim:
Sorry about not having a map tool. If you have any recommendations i'll correct.

Left side of map, Middle Continent-
Furthest South you have a trio of 'States'.
Of that Trio- i'd like to claim all three

Capital City of Necropolis shall be located on the North Western most border, a short distance away from water

Secondary Cities:
High Garden: Located on the Southern most border of claimed territory.

Port Royalle: somewhere near water.. pls

Strategically important locations:

Land of the Dead:
Centered in middle of claimed territory.
Co- Located- Elysiam Fields. ¹

Blackstone Fortress:
Northern most border of territory

Culture:
The concept of 'Death' is something that all Vakarian people fear, And in regards to defeating it. They've come very close as a people during the Goblin Wars that plagued the Republic over the past century. The evolution of Vakarian culture has reflected this. There is an extreme social obsession with the concepts of mortality. A very grim dark atmosphere fills every atmosphere and the fields of Necromancy and Transmutation are well regarded areas within Vakarian society.

Races:
Humans
Undead (Formerly Human)

Slave Race:
Goblins (ruled by a combination of fear and use of Transmutation to make Goblins drug dependent on something only the Vakarians can provide)

Technology:
high lighting main technological milestones. Not going to do a full layout of every light switch design

Unholy Union of Science and Darkness:

Due to the general focuses of the Vakarian people, one could say that they've truly conquered death. Using a combination of Transmutation and Necromancy Vakarian scientist have found ways to not only preserve the body, even in death. But also the soul. Those who undergo this procedure have their very soul transplanted into an a body that's been long dead. Leaving behind the weak vessel of living flesh. The process is still in it's infancy which leads to a high attrition rate when it comes to the transferal process. Those who fail still live in their original bodies. But truly lose their soul. Lost into the abyss that is the darker side of Magic. Those who survival the process. Have no need to eat, are not affected by weather conditions, have need no sleep, feel no pain. And are extremely hard to kill through conventional means. Unfortunately, the process is extremely time consuming and resource intensive. Additionally however, the Scientist and Necromancers of the Republic are able to raise vast numbers of mindless, blood thirsty creatures. Neither living nor dead, and entirely uncontrollable with an insatiable need to feed on living flesh. An absolute last resort.


Elysiam Refinaries:
Once of the significant advantages of the Republic is it's one of the few nations with the capacity to produce the highly sot after fuel Elysiam that many nations depended on. This lead to an interesting amount of technologies to develop including a highly focused effort on Elysiam powered vehicles throughout the nation and the use of Elysiam powered machines in factories and assembly lines. On a far darker note however, A diluted form of Elysiam is used to maintain control over the enslaved Goblin population in the Republic. A drug dependence is made, and the recipe for this Elysiam based drug, a state guarded secret.


Mare Mortuum:
Better known as 'The Lake of the Dead", this is a piece of Republic technology that had a noble beginning and took an immense dark turn when the military potential superseded the base research value. Located deep with inside the Land of the Dead, the area of the last major battle of the Goblin Wars. A very evil and dark amount of magic exist. On this field, hundreds of thousands of souls perished in a single day of battle. The collective Tsunami of emotions created a rift in the magical fabric that lines our world. Holding there all of the souls of those who were killed, unable to pass into the next world. The souls of Humans and Goblins alike dwell here, held against their will. Some years ago, a group of highly renowned scientist began a research mission to find a way to 'release' the souls so they could pass into the next world. In the creation of a machine that was to, hopefully close the magical black hole and allow the souls to escape, upon testing the exact opposite effect happened. The machine reaped the souls of everything in a ten kilometer radius. The entire research team, and supporting staff. Had their souls forcible ripped form their bodies leaving behind empty husks with faces locked in horrifying grimaces of pure agony. Upon the discover by the government rather than make such a machine public knowledge. The government deleted all formal record of the project and built a network of towers all inked to the Lake. In strategic reserve, the Government keeps this terrible device. Only one, locked away deep within the holds of the Dead Lands research facility.



History:

The Republic had a fairly standard history for the majority of it's existence. A few interspersed civil wars, civil rights issues, economic up's and downs. But probably one of the most significant events in modern Republic history was the Goblin wars.

Forty years ago, Humans and Goblins co-existed relatively well with few internal struggles that couldn't be solved on a state level. But, during a rather significant economic downturn resources were extremely scarce. It started out initially as fairly standard protest which soon escalated to riots. And eventually blatant racial accusations were made on either side claiming that the other was using up all of the resources. The Goblins eventually, united under a fairly powerful and influential Goblin merchant who became a warlord more out of luck than any actual ability. The role however was fitting. The Republic who hadn't fought a significant military engagement in over thirty years and was easily beaten by the foreign supplied Goblin forces. In a rather short war, The Goblins had carved out a significant chunk of formerly Republican owned territory and there was an uneasy peace reached. For a time.

As the years continued on the economic and resource situation showed no sign of improvement, the then Democratically elected government of the Republic started to lose support. Continuous border skirmishes over the next ten years would later be classified historically as the 'Second Goblin War' even though no formal declaration was made.

Twenty years before the present day, The Republic military that had been illegally stockpiling arms and munitions in preparation for what was to come. When the Goblins made more demands for Republic land the weak Republic government was on the verge of folding, until a series of highly precise assassinations took place and the military seized power from the Democratically elected government in an extremely effective coup. Immediately, from secret staging areas. The new Military Junta launched a three pronged offensive deep into Goblin territory. Goblin forces, were especially effective when they had foreign arms and were fighting against an unorganized opponent. The Offensive was largely successful, right until the Republic Army reached the original Goblin lands. That was when the trenches started.

The ensuing Trench Warfare that took place over the next five years is poorly recorded and there are no firm records over specific battles. But what is sure, is that the loss of life was utterly immense. In desperation for victory. The Republic reached out to far darker parts of Magic Lore. Dabbling in the summoning of demons and the raising of the dead. Many critics of the war, and scholars conducting a post war analysis argue that we couldn't have won without the extreme measures we took. But what was the cost of that victory?

Military Doctrine/Strategies:
US Military Doctrine (1940-1946)


Military Branches:

Army:
Standard branch for Land operations made up entirely of normal, living humans.
Focused primarily on heavily mechanized and maneuver doctrine.

Navy:
Standard branch for Navel operations made up entirely of normal, living humans.
Very little surface navy outside of Coastal patrol vessels, maintains a large number of Submarines though.

Air Force:
Standard branch for Air operations made up entirely of normal, living humans.
In it's infancy as an individual branch, however is mainly focused on providing Tactical level air support, and supporting strategic level air operations.

Goblin Corps:
Made up entirely of Goblin Soldiers with the exception of Human Officers and Enforcers. Used as 'shock' troops to throw at fortifications, labor to construct camps and battlements as well as excellent mine clearance 'engineers'.

Legion of the Damned:
The Elite Shock units of the Vakarian forces. Made up entirely of the highly modified and effective, abet few in number. 'Untoter Krieger' Or Undead Warriors. This unit receives the best equipment available from the Republic. Made up entirely of 'Souled' Undead. Equipment Highlights include Semi-Automatic-external Magazine fed rifles, personal body armor, and new class of medium tanks.


Military Strengths:

-High level of Training and Expertise
-Well equipped Armed Forces
-Fully motorized logistical assets
-Fuel reserves to sustain large scale mechanized offensives

Military Weaknesses: (List at least three good ones)

-Drug Dependence of Goblin Corps
-Quality over Quantity (applies to attrition fight)
-Newer troops have no wartime experience, unlike the Legion of the Damned
-Ethical violations, Other Armies have difficulty working with Republic troops because of blatant ethics violations by the government in the degree of necromancy they preform. Makes civilian Insurgency in occupied countries far greater.

Relations with other nations:
Other nations tolerate what they see as 'abominable acts' because the Republic provides cheap slave labor and large amounts of Elysiam exported.

As long as I can use a BAR, an M3 Stuart, a Lee, or a Sherman in the early stage of War without using some magic, I'll be extremely happy.

Since, uh, I planned to have a purge of magic practitioners in part of Andeok's history.

Which, by the way, was a map made directly by OP before a lot of people who just came in dropped apps. Those claims are >48 hours old.

As both my school PC and my rig (AE: Demonic amalgamation of parts) are both off line for the next few days. Which means due to a technicality, I loose a chunk of my land as well as a vital portion of my defensive plan as a result.

Nation Name: Aclon
Flag/Emblem/Symbol: https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2015/ ... zeen_f.jpg
Government Type: Bureaucratic
Ideology: Their ideology was founded by a philosopher by the name of Roquefort. Roquefort believed that a government should be made up of various departments in order to keep order within a nation. He also believed that a group of people, not just one person should govern these departments and the nation in general.
Leader Name: The Council of Magistrates and the High Councilor.
Political Parties: None
Capital City Name: Arner

Map Claim: The two tiny islands between two of the continents.

Culture: The people of Aclon are a hard-working and cynical population. The people view laziness as a grave insult to them and their nation. The government, realizing that the nation's racial diversity could lead to conflict, have combined some of their holidays and traditions in hope that it will prevent fighting between the groups.
Races: Humans and Elves and possibly a couple vampires in high-up government positions.
Technology: Aclon has a long and proud scientific history. The discoveries made by The Bureau of Science as varied from a chemical that causes fires that could not be put out all the way to turrets that could be attached to anything. Their latest discovery however has shook the foundation of Alcon's military. One of their chief scientists, an elf named Ayas Krisran, made an serum that increased a average soldier's strength and dexterity. The government, realizing that these super soldiers could give them an edge in the battlefield, has demanded more of them to be made. Unfortunately, most of the test subjects have died due to the fact that their bodies couldn't handle the serum. To this day, only four test subjects has survived alongside the original, tallying the total amount of soldiers to five.

History: Aclon was founded from the ashes of the Kingdom of Abmen, a kingdom that was destroyed because of internal strife and civil war. The people, realizing that a monarchy did not work, started to search for a new type that would. During this time, a philosopher named Roquefort came out with a manifesto called The Bureau. In this manifesto, Roquefort described an ideal government where the power was divided into different agencies or "bureaus'', who in turn were governed by a high council. However, this manifesto was ignored and a democratic government was set up under the name " The Democratic Union of Aclon". Unfortunatley, this government was even less effective then the last one, with the president taxing the people with unpopular taxes and getting involved in unpopular wars. Eventually, the people snapped and overthrew the government. At this time Roquefort's now 5 year old manifesto finally got the people's attention and after a bit of deliberation decided to model their new government after the one described in the manifesto.

This new government headed by the newly established Council of Magistrates immediately faced a problem. The revolution had nearly destroyed the economy of the nation and the new government's inability to fix was making them unpopular. Under the threat of another revolution, the Council immediately passed a bill to lower taxes for five years. After awhile the economy stabilized but the government was hit with constant streams of corruption, even within the Council. Eventually, The Bureau of Justice had enough of the corruption and approved of a investigation which led to the arrest to dozens of government employees, including the head councilor of the Council Of Magistrates. After the remaining Magistrates appointed a new head, a human named Robert Corsican, they started a complete reorganization of the Bureaucracy to prevent future corruption. This reorganization led to the dismantlement of the unpopular Bureau of Labor and caused a limited form of free-enterprise to arrive in the nation.

During the next five years, several events happened that changed the course of the nation. One of these involved the assassination of all four members of The Council Of Magistrates by an anarchist cell and the bombings of two government offices. After the anarchists were arrested and executed, the government realized they had to establish a new Council Of Magistrates. This caused 3 months of arguments,debates, and near civil war between the Bureaus. Eventually,the Bureau's decided on two human and two elves who were led by an elf named Almer Ellynn. Two years after the Council was appointed, they sent a diplomat to the ill-fated The Alhazar Meeting. After the meeting, Aclonian authorities blamed Albion for the explosion, mostly because Aclon's tense past with Albion,and closed the Aclonian embassy in Guildholm. Currently, The Bureau of War, which has been inactive for fifty years, has been reopened and is building up Aclonian troops for when war inenvitably starts.
Military Doctrine/Strategies: The Aclonian military believes in gathering as much information about a potential enemy as possible before stricking. This strategy was first used by rebels during the Aclonian Revolution and is still used to this very day. Once they do attack, they send out the heavy hitters,which is mostly artillery, then send in the main bulk of the army to finish up the job.
Military Branches: Army,Navy,Marines and The Intelligence Branch.
Military Strengths: Great Technology, a large number of troops and their new super soldiers.
Military Weaknessess: A lack of experience, low funding and incompetent leadership.
Relations with other nations: Aclon has a rather tense relationship with Albion due to a long history of broken contracts and Albion constantly sticking their noses in their business. They dislike Orbis due to their system of government conlicting with theirs. They have a decent relationship with Essuran and have mixed opinions about the rest.

Hey Imperial, how do you kill your undead soldiers?

By shooting them.

If you try and use a Light Machine Gun as an 'Assault Rifle' you're going to have a bad time. Despite it's looks. It is awful in the implied role

Hey Imperial, how do you kill your undead soldiers?

Extremely difficult via conditional means (they don't need any of their organs, including brain) So you're looking at incapacitate (amputation, decapitation) or total destruction.

Via Magical means would be far easier, but magi are few and far between.


These fellows really aren't that common though
