We will fight for Iraq. There is a little more leeway with Syria, since their close enough to Turkey that they could be considered Turkish rather than Arab.

But Iraq is a no no.

As I said, allow me to have Syria, you get Iraq.

Wanna be friends?


Any I can get. My nation has essentially just popped up out of nowhere because our Empress decided she wanted to make Arabs powerful, instead of fractured tribes fighting among themselves. So, at the moment we're kinda just alone out here in the desert, hoping for the best.

But would you consider Syria French or Greek?

NATION INFORMATION

Nation name:
Democratic Republic of Oskano

National goals:

(not in this order)
1. Further trade routes, and control over said trade routes
2. Further increase diplomatic ties with nieghboring countries
3. Expand the territory, domestically and abroad
4. Bulster a larger and advanced military force to secure regional and global projectional power(Navally mostly)

Nation's Leader(s):Prime Minister Alaro Kuhn

National Government: The DRO runs in a modified version of a Parliamentry Republic. It is closer to a what one would assume to be a constitutional monarchy as the Prime Minister holds the majority of the power with less powerful ministers (Defense, Trade, Domestic, Foreign, etc.) positioned under him to assist in making the country run smoother. There is a house with a single level made up of representatives elected from all sections within the Republic, each holding equal power in the decision making process. Despite this, a majority of the decisions are decided by the PM and his fellow ministers with only certian laws requiring the approval of the larger committee, such as taxes and items of that such. Things such as war, trade deals, etc. are decided by the Council of Ministers.

Territory: Germany, Poland, Czech, Austria

Language: Oska. Oska is a languge spoken by most residents within the nation. It is closely related to that of German and Polish mixed together. (For the sake of the RP I will use German)

National Religion: The country is mainly Athest with a small minority of Roman Catholacs making up around 5-7% percent of the population with most other religions filling in at below 2%

National Culture/Identity: The DRO is a highly cultured nation often renown for the beatiful mountains and forrests one can spend time exploring when visiting the country. It is further expanded on by a rich history of glory and riches dating back hundreds of years to the monarchial times of the nation. When not exploring the country side you can visit one of many castles still litered around the nation and explore fine works of art found in most large towns such as Gesno(Berlin). The people of the country are often found to be highly nationalitic when refering to their country believing nearly every aspect of the country needs to shared with the world, and acepted throughout.

National Passtime: There are many past times people enjoy taking part in, everything from fishing in many of the nations lakes, to exploring the rich history of the nation. Although if one were to walk up and ask a random Oskani on the street they would not be surprised to hear that many enjoy a good show at the local concert hall where muscians from not only Oskano, but the world come to show their talents. Although some shows can only be attended by the upper classes due to costs, most people can find time and change to spend an evening enjoying the classical and new works of many musicians.

National holiday: The Nation and it's smaller secetion have their own smaller traditions and holidays with only one or two events claiming the spot of universal celebration. Although events such as Christmas are only celebrated in communities with a large Catholic population, one holiday is celebrated universally across all people. That day is "Der Tag der Einheit" (The Day of Unity). The holiday was originally created back in the early 1600s, although the exact year is unknown, to celebrate the unification of the Republic. After the collapse of the Feron Empire seperated many of the republics sectore, a large war eventually lead to the old parts of the Empire rejoining to form the republic. The holiday is usually celebrated on the sixth day of the month of June, lasting for another three days. During this period it isn't uncommon for many business to be closed as the streets of larger towns are filled with soldiers marching, and for the lucky people living near the port of Yigh(Hamburg) they can hold witness to a Naval celebration and show. During the evening traditionally prepared meals of Chicken and Fish are served throughout many households and the National Anthem can often be heard late into the nights.

Nation's Population: Around 22 Million(Feel free to tell me if this is unrealistic or small, I had trouble researching)

Allies: Non at the moment

Enemies: Non that I know of

Political issues: A small issue presented in the government is the desparity between the Catholic and Non-Catholic citizens of the nation. Often times small fights and skirmishes between the two groups can happen, most often in the south eastern regions of the nation. Yet these events are rare and most conflicts are often verbal ones aimed at members of either parties. There is also some out rage from slightly radical groups of the Catholic community who are against the idea of prominatly Secular or non-Catholic government.

Chance of revolt: No

Greatest Victory: The Greatest Victory would likely be at the battle of Broken Bridge Creek. Here members of the RGO(Republic Guard of Oskano), Several groups of soldiers from the Jager Corps, and around a battalion of standard infantry came up upon a force of Austrian soldiers double their size. The enemy soldiers had spent days preparing their defenses, laying down pits and spikes preventing a large amount of Oskani Calavry from being used to break their lines. Instead ariund 30 or so heavy 16 pound guns had been lined up on a hill to the North of the enemy position. For around 30 minutes a continual shelling was brought down on the enemy position, to which they were quick to respond with inaccurate fire from from their own batteries. The response did little but show our gunners where we should be aiming our cannons to give of a reply, silencing most of the enemies guns. With the bombardment finally growing to a close men were ordered to prepare to march, with the infantry battalion laying the back as members of the Jager Corps and RGO moved up the side flanks using the tree lines as cover. As the Austrian forces became distracted with exchanging fire between themselves and the battalion, RGO and Jager Corps opened up on the side flanks of the enemy. The shear amount of fire power put down by the flanking forces gave off the impression of a large force, sacring many of the Slovakian soldiers who had believed they had been flanked. Using the treeline as cover the soldiers continued to press down fire on the defenders as slowly began to panic as volleys of rilfe fire closed in on them from 3 sides. Somewhere in the confusion orders had been given to retreat, only to realize the bridge behind the position had been destroyed by the earlier artillery bombardment. The Austrians soon surrendered to what they assumed was a much larger Oskani force, only to realize the true size of their enemies. The victory broke the long stalemate of the war and raised the Morale of the Oskani troops, allowing for the campaign to continue, eventually ending in an Oskani victory, introducing the nation of Austria into the Republic. The battle took place in may of the year 1792.

Most Embarrassing Defeat:[/b] The worse defeat in Oskani history happened shortly after the forming of the Republic during a time inwhich parties in the areas that would represent Poland began to take arms in rebellion against the new government. The Armory of a small coastal town had been seized by rebel forces, resulting in the execution of many of the armed guards that were once the garrison of the fort. The group was believed to be low in numbers, totaling around 40 members and low on amunition after the intal conflict with the garrison of the fortress. Thus Major Gergo Hun and a small detachment of around 120 infantry were ordered to march on the fort and take it. Force was authorized and they were under strict orders to execute all members of the rebel cell. Seeing as the coastal fort only contained a few guns positioned outwards facing the sea, and the group was reported to be low on ammo, the Captian left the groups four 12lb guns behind to speed their pace from a nearby town to retake the fort. This would prove a mistake as the rebel were better equiped than originally thought and began dealing heavy causilties to the attacking Loyalist soldiers. Many of the rebel had been farmers in the town and had considerable practice using the fire arms presented in the fort. Taking defensive postions, and managing to turn a single gun towards the town presented a hazadardess area to the attacking infantry. Eventually however a single ship was dispatched from a nearby port and began opening fire on the fort, silencing the guns in a few minutes. Despite the Loyalist forces defeating the rebels, only around ten of the original 120 men had survived. Captian Hun was not among them. The losses were large and eventually lead to the creation of the Jager Crops to specialize in quick and strategic warfare where larger formations would be useless or ineffective. Mainly in colonial areas, they still have made appearences in Europe.

ARMAMENT


Infantry:

Primary Weapon: The Model 1807 Fiso Rifle is a Oskani made rifle used primarialy by the Oskani Infantry(Details to come)

Secondary Weapon: The Model 1807 Favco Pistol is and Oskani made pistol primarily used by Oskani officers and Jager Corps members

Melee Weapon: Bayonets are common for most soldiers. Officers retains their swords, but mainly for dress events

Uniform: The uniform of a typical standard Oskani Infantry in the European center is often made up of grey-ish colored pants supported by a large almost trench coat in nature brown or green, depending on the unit, that covers much of the upper body and small cap of matching color can be found on the head of a soldier. Officers are usually spotted through the appearence of a sword, or patches worn on the uniform. Despite this the military council has begun experiementing with a new uniform to promote confort and movement of the soldier, espically in the colonial areas.

Pack gear: Most packs will find the soldier with a smaller spade, rations of dried fruit and mear for two days, spare ammo and a small entrencting tool, along with a small mess kit and canten

Greatest Strengths: The small military has seen a lot of combat in recent days leading to more expierenced officers, better preparing the military for future conflicts, espically when on the offensive, although they have been expeirenced in defense. They have also begun working closer with Artillery commanders and pieces

Greatest Weaknesses: They are smaller in most senses(active) than mainly of their neighbors. The style of the Fisco rifle often leads to some problems in combat. The wieght and style of the uniforms often leads to exghaustion if in extended combat and the colors pose a disavantage when in colonial areas of the Africa or the Caribbean

Tactics: The main forces of the Oskani infantry mainly rely on working with whatever artillery pieces are present and constant probing of enemy postions, hoping to gain the upper hand. Most forces are careful sent into battle as too not be wasted and large volleys of continues fire are not often used by the Oskani infantry and irregular tactics and flanking are often favored to head on head fights. In head on fights they often use formations of 50-200 men across with 3 men deep. Irregular tactics based on smaller groups that are more spread out are more common, as the soldiers are exstensively trained in Marksmanship to prevent relience on large volley tactics

Specialty: Using the terrian to their advantage and marksmanship


Cavalry:

Primary Weapon: The Model 1810 Gino Carbine More detials to come

Secondary Weapon: N/A

Melee Weapon: Calvary Sword. Simple and deadly

Uniform: The Uniform of the Calvary soldier is similar to that of the of the regular infantry with only a few key differences. Only officers retain the longer trench-coat style over coats, with most instead using short buttoned shirts.

The normal boats of the infantry are instead replaced with high laced boots and the hats have been exchanged for metal bowl shaped helmets covering the head of the rider and nearly reaching the ears

Pack gear: Rations for a day, canten, spare ammo, mess kit, entrenching tool

Greatest Strengths: They are skillful in hit and run tactics, moving in fast and leaving quickly. Most are steady shots allowing them to harrass enemy troops and other key areas where they are needed.

Greatest Weaknesses: Their uniforms are often hot to wear not to mention their helmets. They are usually used in smaller numbers decreasing their effectivness in large battles and tactics employed limit them to minor roles in most skirmishes. They also lack a good weapon for medium ranges.

Tactics: They are mainly used to harras enemy formations attempting to enter or leave a battle area, or to disrupt units trying to support the enemy forces such as artillery peices

Specialty: Rapid movement and anti-artillery


Artillery

Yo! I'm alone too! My closest friend is a British guy who has a couple troops near me
Opinions on politics: In light of the failure of two parties, there either should be none, or multiple major ones

Opinion on Government: Should be run by Mirthocracy (ask me about it sometime)

NATION INFORMATION

Nation name:
Democratic Republic of Oskano

National goals:

(not in this order)
1. Further trade routes, and control over said trade routes
2. Further increase diplomatic ties with nieghboring countries
3. Expand the territory, domestically and abroad
4. Bulster a larger and advanced military force to secure regional and global projectional power(Navally mostly)

Nation's Leader(s):Prime Minister Alaro Kuhn

National Government: The DRO runs in a modified version of a Parliamentry Republic. It is closer to a what one would assume to be a constitutional monarchy as the Prime Minister holds the majority of the power with less powerful ministers (Defense, Trade, Domestic, Foreign, etc.) positioned under him to assist in making the country run smoother. There is a house with a single level made up of representatives elected from all sections within the Republic, each holding equal power in the decision making process. Despite this, a majority of the decisions are decided by the PM and his fellow ministers with only certian laws requiring the approval of the larger committee, such as taxes and items of that such. Things such as war, trade deals, etc. are decided by the Council of Ministers.

Territory: Germany, Poland, Czech, Austria

Language: Oska. Oska is a languge spoken by most residents within the nation. It is closely related to that of German and Polish mixed together. (For the sake of the RP I will use German)

National Religion: The country is mainly Athest with a small minority of Roman Catholacs making up around 5-7% percent of the population with most other religions filling in at below 2%

National Culture/Identity: The DRO is a highly cultured nation often renown for the beatiful mountains and forrests one can spend time exploring when visiting the country. It is further expanded on by a rich history of glory and riches dating back hundreds of years to the monarchial times of the nation. When not exploring the country side you can visit one of many castles still litered around the nation and explore fine works of art found in most large towns such as Gesno(Berlin). The people of the country are often found to be highly nationalitic when refering to their country believing nearly every aspect of the country needs to shared with the world, and acepted throughout.

National Passtime: There are many past times people enjoy taking part in, everything from fishing in many of the nations lakes, to exploring the rich history of the nation. Although if one were to walk up and ask a random Oskani on the street they would not be surprised to hear that many enjoy a good show at the local concert hall where muscians from not only Oskano, but the world come to show their talents. Although some shows can only be attended by the upper classes due to costs, most people can find time and change to spend an evening enjoying the classical and new works of many musicians.

National holiday: The Nation and it's smaller secetion have their own smaller traditions and holidays with only one or two events claiming the spot of universal celebration. Although events such as Christmas are only celebrated in communities with a large Catholic population, one holiday is celebrated universally across all people. That day is "Der Tag der Einheit" (The Day of Unity). The holiday was originally created back in the early 1600s, although the exact year is unknown, to celebrate the unification of the Republic. After the collapse of the Feron Empire seperated many of the republics sectore, a large war eventually lead to the old parts of the Empire rejoining to form the republic. The holiday is usually celebrated on the sixth day of the month of June, lasting for another three days. During this period it isn't uncommon for many business to be closed as the streets of larger towns are filled with soldiers marching, and for the lucky people living near the port of Yigh(Hamburg) they can hold witness to a Naval celebration and show. During the evening traditionally prepared meals of Chicken and Fish are served throughout many households and the National Anthem can often be heard late into the nights.

Nation's Population: Around 22 Million(Feel free to tell me if this is unrealistic or small, I had trouble researching)

Allies: Non at the moment

Enemies: Non that I know of

Political issues: A small issue presented in the government is the desparity between the Catholic and Non-Catholic citizens of the nation. Often times small fights and skirmishes between the two groups can happen, most often in the south eastern regions of the nation. Yet these events are rare and most conflicts are often verbal ones aimed at members of either parties. There is also some out rage from slightly radical groups of the Catholic community who are against the idea of prominatly Secular or non-Catholic government.

Chance of revolt: No

Greatest Victory: The Greatest Victory would likely be at the battle of Broken Bridge Creek. Here members of the RGO(Republic Guard of Oskano), Several groups of soldiers from the Jager Corps, and around a battalion of standard infantry came up upon a force of Austrian soldiers double their size. The enemy soldiers had spent days preparing their defenses, laying down pits and spikes preventing a large amount of Oskani Calavry from being used to break their lines. Instead ariund 30 or so heavy 16 pound guns had been lined up on a hill to the North of the enemy position. For around 30 minutes a continual shelling was brought down on the enemy position, to which they were quick to respond with inaccurate fire from from their own batteries. The response did little but show our gunners where we should be aiming our cannons to give of a reply, silencing most of the enemies guns. With the bombardment finally growing to a close men were ordered to prepare to march, with the infantry battalion laying the back as members of the Jager Corps and RGO moved up the side flanks using the tree lines as cover. As the Austrian forces became distracted with exchanging fire between themselves and the battalion, RGO and Jager Corps opened up on the side flanks of the enemy. The shear amount of fire power put down by the flanking forces gave off the impression of a large force, sacring many of the Slovakian soldiers who had believed they had been flanked. Using the treeline as cover the soldiers continued to press down fire on the defenders as slowly began to panic as volleys of rilfe fire closed in on them from 3 sides. Somewhere in the confusion orders had been given to retreat, only to realize the bridge behind the position had been destroyed by the earlier artillery bombardment. The Austrians soon surrendered to what they assumed was a much larger Oskani force, only to realize the true size of their enemies. The victory broke the long stalemate of the war and raised the Morale of the Oskani troops, allowing for the campaign to continue, eventually ending in an Oskani victory, introducing the nation of Austria into the Republic. The battle took place in may of the year 1792.

Most Embarrassing Defeat:[/b] The worse defeat in Oskani history happened shortly after the forming of the Republic during a time inwhich parties in the areas that would represent Poland began to take arms in rebellion against the new government. The Armory of a small coastal town had been seized by rebel forces, resulting in the execution of many of the armed guards that were once the garrison of the fort. The group was believed to be low in numbers, totaling around 40 members and low on amunition after the intal conflict with the garrison of the fortress. Thus Major Gergo Hun and a small detachment of around 120 infantry were ordered to march on the fort and take it. Force was authorized and they were under strict orders to execute all members of the rebel cell. Seeing as the coastal fort only contained a few guns positioned outwards facing the sea, and the group was reported to be low on ammo, the Captian left the groups four 12lb guns behind to speed their pace from a nearby town to retake the fort. This would prove a mistake as the rebel were better equiped than originally thought and began dealing heavy causilties to the attacking Loyalist soldiers. Many of the rebel had been farmers in the town and had considerable practice using the fire arms presented in the fort. Taking defensive postions, and managing to turn a single gun towards the town presented a hazadardess area to the attacking infantry. Eventually however a single ship was dispatched from a nearby port and began opening fire on the fort, silencing the guns in a few minutes. Despite the Loyalist forces defeating the rebels, only around ten of the original 120 men had survived. Captian Hun was not among them. The losses were large and eventually lead to the creation of the Jager Crops to specialize in quick and strategic warfare where larger formations would be useless or ineffective. Mainly in colonial areas, they still have made appearences in Europe.

ARMAMENT


Infantry:

Primary Weapon: The Model 1807 Fiso Rifle is a Oskani made rifle used primarialy by the Oskani Infantry(Details to come)

Secondary Weapon: The Model 1807 Favco Pistol is and Oskani made pistol primarily used by Oskani officers and Jager Corps members

Melee Weapon: Bayonets are common for most soldiers. Officers retains their swords, but mainly for dress events

Uniform: The uniform of a typical standard Oskani Infantry in the European center is often made up of grey-ish colored pants supported by a large almost trench coat in nature brown or green, depending on the unit, that covers much of the upper body and small cap of matching color can be found on the head of a soldier. Officers are usually spotted through the appearence of a sword, or patches worn on the uniform. Despite this the military council has begun experiementing with a new uniform to promote confort and movement of the soldier, espically in the colonial areas.

Pack gear: Most packs will find the soldier with a smaller spade, rations of dried fruit and mear for two days, spare ammo and a small entrencting tool, along with a small mess kit and canten

Greatest Strengths: The small military has seen a lot of combat in recent days leading to more expierenced officers, better preparing the military for future conflicts, espically when on the offensive, although they have been expeirenced in defense. They have also begun working closer with Artillery commanders and pieces

Greatest Weaknesses: They are smaller in most senses(active) than mainly of their neighbors. The style of the Fisco rifle often leads to some problems in combat.

Tactics: The main forces of the Oskani infantry mainly rely on working with whatever artillery pieces are present and constant probing of enemy postions, hoping to gain the upper hand. Most forces are careful sent into battle as too not be wasted and large volleys of continues fire are not often used by the Oskani infantry and irregular tactics and flanking are often favored to head on head fights. In head on fights they often use formations of 50-200 men across with 3 men deep. Irregular tactics based on smaller groups that are more spread out are more common, as the soldiers are exstensively trained in Marksmanship to prevent relience on large volley tactics

Specialty: Using the terrian to their advantage and marksmanship


Cavalry:

Primary Weapon: The Model 1810 Gino Carbine More detials to come

Secondary Weapon: N/A

Melee Weapon: Calvary Sword. Simple and deadly

Uniform: The Uniform of the Calvary soldier is similar to that of the of the regular infantry with only a few key differences. Only officers retain the longer trench-coat style over coats, with most instead using short buttoned shirts.

The normal boats of the infantry are instead replaced with high laced boots and the hats have been exchanged for metal bowl shaped helmets covering the head of the rider and nearly reaching the ears

Pack gear: Rations for a day, canten, spare ammo, mess kit, entrenching tool

It's Greek, except for Damascus, that's French.
