[Nations United for Conquest]

That would kinda screw with my OTHER plan, which is make buddies with America because QV is a chill chick and all.

But that takes time. I'm willing to be your pal now.
I'm getting Cuba one way or another.
Also Israel has announced they will support me, so has Hagall(OOC, of course)
Israel, Hungary, how about we form a Mediterannean Pact? An alliance of Mediterannean nations, we could invite others later on.

I feel left out, again

Least I have my mutal assistance pact with Italy

[The Traansval]

Honestly, i'm startin to get tired of the Coalition. France is my buddy, but i'm not a fan of Jerusalem or Italy.

Well Victoria is on her way to meet with whoever your guy is, mainly to try and keep you from fucking over my guys as they fuck over Spain but, ya know.

I assume shes coming to attend the International Gala being held by President Garrison at the White House. Many other world leaders are there.

[The Traansval]

I need to know how many of each Class you have.

Also, you forgot to add the Infantry and Cavalry to your list of Branches and their Manpower.

Eeeedddiiitteeeddd

Nation name: Kingdom of Novskar

National Ideology: True Order (Fascism)

Nation's Leader(s): King Alexi Valentyn

National Government Type: Absolute Monarchy

National history: Novskar started as scattered tribes around the area of modern day Ukraine. The tribes had barely interacted with each other, unless it was altercation for land food or resources. They followed the Tengri faith zealously, with the religion soon starting to become apart of every day life for Novskarians. The tribes elected chiefs who also acted as preists, and were said to be descended from the gods.

Some chiefs were ambitious and used their position as priest to say that the gods have shown that their tribe was superior to the smaller ones, giving reason for war. Due to this, the smaller tribes were subjugated and numerous "High Chiefs" rose up into prominence, taking control of those small tribes.

The high chiefdoms did not bicker with each other at first, but soon they grew even more ambitious. They started subjugating the other high chiefdoms, taking all of their land and their vassal chiefs. Soon, there were two main powers. The tribe in the east, and the tribe that was in the west.

They soon came into a great war with each other to see who would gain total dominance in the region, but had to turn their attention west and work together to stop the invading christians who sought to take their lands while still weakened. Ultimately, the west tribe achieved dominance, and a great chief was established.

This soon became the title of King, as the UkraInians took in the culture of those from the west, and settled as feudal. Ukraine finally had total peace, and began consolidating power in their realm, all the while squashing rebellions that rose up with pretenders and Ukrainian supremacists.

They remained quiet in european affairs, until they attacked the people to the north. They called themselves the people of Belarus, and while they weren't conquered completely, they entered a personal union with the people to the south. This is when Novskar was finally born.

Fascism began in the early 1800s, under a pretender to the Novskarian throne. He believed that the state had to be under a single party would be the best choice of action for Novskar, to make it a dominant power in Europe. After a bloody civil war, the person in the center of the uprising, Alexi Valentyn (A cousin to the current king) took power. He now hoped to establish great Novskarian dominance in eastern Europe.
