Point of Divergence V 5.0 : It's Alive! (OOC / OPEN)

[Artorran]

Nation Reservation
Name of country reserved: 'Regency of New Artorran'
Territory: On the map linked to in the OP, southern & central Britain (up to & including Yorkshire [in the traditional, pre-1970s sense] & -- except perhaps for the Furness district -- Lancashire), with associated smaller islands, except for northern & south-western sections of Wales.

This wold be an offshoot of my NS nation, several districts of which have found themselves translocated: Their former home did not have the same geography. so part of my RP would be their exploring & coping with the changes. I am also the player behind Bears Armed, and this nation -- like that one -- would be inhabited largely by sapient/anthropomorphic Bears although "Old" Artorran does also have human residents and a significant element of this offshoot's population would be from that stock instead. Technology is mostly equivalent to RL Britain in the first half of the 20th century, a bit less advanced in some respects (probably including the construction of warships: I do not envisage this nation as having Dreadnoughts, for example...) but up to more more-or-less modern standards in a few others (e.g. computers). There is relatively "low-key" magic (although, given enough time to prepare & conduct rituals, they might be able to close the seas -- & the air above those -- against prospective invaders...) , and some 'supernatural' beings are demonstrably real. A form of the English language is widely known.
Britain is an appropriate location for this location not only because it is the part of Earth-RL that I personally know best OOC but also because the Ursine founders of "Old" Artorran were largely interdimensional refugees from the fall of a sort-of "Arthurian Britain" that did have RL-like physical geography.

More to follow shortly.

Uh, I'm not sure about this. Not to be rude, but are you serious about this?

Why not? You said "alien space bugs" would be acceptable ,and presumably my Bears would be more understandable than those to the people of the human nations already accepted in this thread. I've been running Ursine-majority nations in NS ever since creating 'Bears Armed' itself back in June 2005, and over the years they -- mostly but not always from Bears Armed rather than the newer puppets -- have been active not only in RP within their home region, but also in the General Assembly, some of the early WorldVision Song Contests, NS Olympics (both Summer and Winter), NS [Association Football] World Cups, and various other events. Currently, n fact, Bears Armed has a team participating in the latest 'Quidditch World Cup'... (The RP examples that I'll provide links for if you let me continue at least to that stage of the application process will be posts in various NS Sports threads...) I haven't actually done this sort of RP in NS before, but I was active for a while (admittedly not as Bears) in an 'Alternate History' forum where I saw some interesting ISOTs take place.

Full Organization Name : Southeastern Pacific Mining Corporation for Trade
Type of Organization : Trading company
Flag / Symbols: Not for now

Official Economic Ideology : Capitalism
Official Political Ideology : We don’t have one
Head of Organization : CEO Mitchell Wheaton
Other Important Individuals : Deputy CEO Jessica Wilson

Territory : Coastal areas of Tasmania
Territorial Ambitions : N/A
Membership : 12,000

Economic Policy : We support capitalism, we want minimalist spending, less taxation, but spends as much money as needed if there’s a chance for more money. Like OTL Amazon.

Tech Level: A regular, modern-era company. But hey, we have submarines, a satellite and a space cruiser (for whatever reason).
Extra Information / Quirks: Most of our funding comes from the government, and this is totally not because we present to them an easy way to exploit mining resources on territories they don’t have.
Universe of Origin (if any): My universe. The one the FUA is in.


Organization Goals : To get as much resources as they can, to get rich, and to run off with the money.


History : In 1994, two sailors of the newly founded Tasmania Company found a lot of natural resources on the island. They quickly reported back to Sydney, where the company was located, and an expedition the following year confirmed this. The company was renamed, given a new objective, and secured funding to mine there. Without asking anybody, they landed hundreds of employees on the island, and began to take the resources to Sydney, which continues to this day.

RP Sample: Use the FUA.

I'm still thinking about accepting this. Like I said earlier, I wouldn't recommend playing multiple nations as it would risk being unfair and overwhelming for some.

Full Nation Name: Commonwealth of America
Short Nation Name: CSA
Flag / National Symbols:

Government Type : Syndicalist Federal Republic
Official Political Ideology: Syndicalism
Head of State: Herbert C. Holdridge
Head of Government: Herbert C. Holdridge
Government Description: The CSA parallels the original pre-civil war US Government at multiple points. At its core is the legislature, the "Continental Congress of the Working Class" (more simply known as the Worker's Congress). A bicameral legislature with two houses, the House of Unions and the House of Industries. In the former, representatives from the various Bourse du Travail of the nation converge here to debate and pass legislation, the number of representatives determined by both population and number of Syndicates inside the Bourse du Travail, and with representatives elected directly by the local unions and syndicates. In the other, the House of Industries, it is the various National Industry Federations here that confer and discuss matters to pass legislation, with each National Federation, no matter its size or importance, possessing two representatives and therefore two votes. In both the Industrial Democratic Committee oversee, coordinate and help mediate the various processes and discussions that take part in these two respective legislative bodies. It is because of this legislative power and the nature of these bodies that the IDC also looks over the wider economic organisation of the nation as well, helping to coordinate the various National Federations in working together and help organise the nation.

The other branches of government -the executive and the judicial- work very much in similar ways to the previous US government too, with the legislative branch passing legislation, the executive executing legislation, and the judicial judging whether the actions of either branch are considered constitutional and beneficial for both the working class and the rest of the general population. There is one key difference however between the CSA and the previous USA, that is the president is directly elected by the people rather than by a small group in the Electoral College, finally putting power to decide leaders in the hands of people instead of a small group of the elite.

[url=https://imgur.com/a/JPb6VM3Territory:[/url]
Territorial Ambitions: Entire Continental USA
Capital City: Chicago
Population: 104,570,520

Majority/Official Culture: American

Majority/State Religion: Protestant/Secular

Major Industries / Economic sectors:Consumer goods, industrial machinery, resource production (eg: steel), armament manufacturing (tanks, firearms, planes, etc), vehicle manufacturing
Amount of Industrialization: The nation is composed of a region nicknamed the "Steel Belt," you guess how industrialised it is (very).
Economic Description: The Commonwealth adheres to an economic policy called "Syndicalism with American Characteristics." Unlike the usual Syndicalist doctrine of a completely planned command economy, it follows doctrines of Georgism and Mutualism, allowing for local businesses and unions within the country to plan and control their prices within a market. There are still unions and syndicates that adhere to the will of the working class, but these just have the option to adjust production and prices depending on supply and demand. One might say that since in this type of market there would technically be "private" businesses made up of independent workers and therefore still be Capitalist, it's still stretching it a bit since the option of government intervention (as the Syndicates compose a large part of the government anyway) is still there.

As to the organisation of the economy, at the lowest levels are the typical local unions and syndicates, the types you'd see representing several businesses or a factory in a local area. They are then organised under a Bourse du Travail, who help coordinate and organise economic collaboration between the various unions and syndicates, as well as oversees general governmental economic enforcement. They, in simple terms, represent the Federal government's hand on a local level for economic purposes and act as regional representatives for a particular area. And on the national levels are the National Industry Federations, which are groupings of Syndicates (regardless of geography) based on the industry they belong to. It's here that the efforts of syndicates on a national level are represented, coordinated and overseen nationwide, as well as where data is taken from the different syndicates and given to both the federal government and the local syndicates. The level of autonomy for the local syndicates varies depending on the industry: for example, the railroad industry might see the national railroad system be overall centralised and planned by a National Federation, where it'd be different in an industry for a consumer good.

Technological Level: IRL 1960s-1970s era
Magic and other shenanigans?: N/A

Military Description Being one of the vanguards of the revolution and surrounded on multiple sides by enemies necessitates a strong military force in order to act as both a deterrent and a tool of expansion, a role that the Commonwealth Armed Forces (CAF) most definitely fill the criteria of. The CSA's vast industrial complex means that the CAF has a mass abundance of military equipment, and cooperation with foreign powers, as well as a well-educated population, means that there is no shortage when it comes to the development of new and advanced weapons, bringing the CAF into the forefront of military technology. The CAF adheres extensively to that of meritocracy and retains an extremely rigorous training programme, creating an army of very well trained soldiers and making sure that only the best and most intuitive are there to lead them. The social policies of the CSA are perhaps most clearly seen in the CAF, as both race and gender equality are upheld as key values in the military, with the appearance of coloured and female soldiers being a common sight.

When the main branches of the CAF are not enough, however, the CSA also has the Continental Army. Inherited from the Civil War, the Continental Army is most similar to the National Guard of the old US, composed of a system of both reserve forces and local militias that take part in both military and civilian exercises. Often considered a sort of early stepping stone before joining the army, the Continental Army can be raised during times of national emergency in order to bring up a new army of militias made up of patriotic men and women willing to fight and die fanatically for the commonwealth.

Another rather notable trait of the CAF is the appearance of Political Commissars. Somewhat resembling military police, they're tasked with making sure the CAF remains, first and foremost, a force devoted to the protection of both the revolution and the working class. Educating the soldiery in the wonders of the ideology they're fighting for to raise morale and seeking out any potential dissidents or conspirators against the Syndicalist revolution, they remain a key part of the CAF.

Partly due to the CAF's heritage concerning irregular forces and the US Marine Corps (see below for more details), the CAF is also famous for its special forces units: from frontline commandos to paratroopers inserted behind enemy lines, the CAF boasts some of the best SOF units in the world.

Army: Out of all the branches, the People's Liberation Army is probably both the most rigorously trained and well lead branch in the armed forces, furthermore regarded as one of the finest and toughest in the world. This is in part due to its origins, as most of the men who'd come to form the nucleus of both the regular army and the military leadership during and after the civil war were members of the US Marine Corps: one of the few institutions in the pre-civil war US Armed Forces not neglected by the corrupt capitalist gang. With a proud military tradition, the PLA truly produces some of the finest soldiers and leaders that any military could hope for.
-2 Million Soldiers (1.5 Million Active, 500,000 Reserve) including:
-20,000x Paratroopers
-4,000x Army Rangers
-5,000x Commonwealth Special Forces soldiers (CSF/Green Berets)
-4,000x MBTs
-3,000x Armoured Cars
-8,000x APCs
Can additionally call up 15,000,000 Militia (Continental Army) in times of national emergency.

Navy: Though the CSA is no longer has the full naval industrial might that the US once possessed, or even the Pacific States currently possesses, its role as a major figure in spreading the global revolution and its bases of operation such as the Syndicalist Philippines or the front in Africa means that the People's Liberation Navy is far from being neglected at all. A rival to even the Union of Britain's own naval prowess, she remains at the forefront of the global effort to liberate foreign lands under the hammer and torch.
Ships:
-8x Battleships (3x Montana Class, 5x Iowa Class)
-10x Aircraft Carriers (3x Midway Class, 2x USS United States Class, 2x Forrestal-class, 2x Kitty Hawk-class, 1x USS Enterprise-class)
-30x Cruisers
-100x Destroyers
-30x Diesel Submarines
-20x Nuclear Submarines

Aicraft:

-50x P-3 Orions (Anti-submarine/Maritime patrol)

Amphibious Landing:
-400,000 Marines (CMC-Commonwealth Marine Corps)
-3,000 Naval Special Forces (SEALs)

Air Force: The People's Revolutionary Airforce (PRA, named as such to avoid confusion with the PLA), like others, is a well maintained fighting force with similar meritocratic values. A notable quirk of the PRA is its hefty collection of air aces, notably female air aces, composed of famed units such as the infamous Red Witches.

National Goals: Continue the global Syndicalist revolution and fight injustice against the working class, no matter the place or time.


History : The state of post-Weltkrieg America was one of great trouble and chaos. Divided politics on every level, a failing economy, but most of all corruption permeated every part of American society: all of which were to the detriment of the working class. Men and women of the working class toiled under the oppression of the bourgeoise as they heartlessly exploited the back-breaking honest labour of the common people, just to fill their already extravagant coffers further. The Great Depression only further destroyed the lives of the people, as millions became unemployed while the upper class continued to live in luxury. For years, the whims of Wall Street and mega-corporations remained unopposed, until a man by the name of Jack Reed returned to America during the 1920s. A journalist who witnessed the failure of the Bolshevik Revolution, Reed refused to allow the revolution for workers rights to end with Communism and so decided to try and continue the revolution in America. Reed turned to the camp of Syndicalism in order to fulfil this purpose, and his righteous goal was taken up by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). It was around the IWW and him that other likeminded left-wingers gathered in order to advocate workers rights and fight against the bourgeoisie and that eventually, the vanguard of the revolution would come to be in the form of the Combined Syndicates of America (CSA).

When the Great Depression came, the trust between the northern workers of the highly industrialised Steel Belt region and the government started to crack, with many beginning to toss their lot in with the CSA. It wasn’t till the 1933 election ended with the re-election of Herbert Hoover that all trust was lost, and the many members of the working class from Illinois to Michigan abandoned their Democratic Party ties and joined with the CSA-supported Socialist Party of America, earning the region the moniker of the “Red Belt.” Soon a three way power struggle began to grow: the ancient parties of the Democrats and Republicans forming a “Federalist” Coalition, the nationalist America First Union Party rising in the Deep South under the charismatic yet devious Huey Long and the CSA lead Socialist Party dominating the American Midwest represented by John Reed.

The coming of Black Friday only further increased support for the CSA, and secured the Socialist Party’s victory in the 1937 elections with John Reed being elected as the 32nd President of the United States of America. The moment he was inaugurated, Reed almost immediately began a wave of reforms to fix the country: not just from the Great Depression and Black Monday, but also to fix the decades of social inequality the nation had suffered. He signed and sent out countless executive orders to reform the country: from ensuring the right of unions to form and negotiate with their employers, to nationalising certain industries in order to use these corporation’s vast resources to begin rebuilding the economy. Despite his well-intentioned acts, it proved too much for the bourgeoisie. Those in league with injustice and oppression began denouncing Reed and the CSA, with Huey Long lovingly bestowing the president with the nickname “Dictator Reed.” Violence against workers and CSA members alike increasingly rose, as street fighting became common. America was a powder keg, and was only waiting for a spark to light it.

That spark came only a few months after Reed came to power, when General Douglas MacArthur marched on Washington DC in a military coup d’état to treasonously overthrow the president. Fortunately, Reed was warned before hand and was able to flee from DC, taking refuge in the CSA heartland of Chicago. It was from Chicago that Reed proclaimed MacArthur as a traitor, and beseeched Americans everywhere to help destroy the usurper. The situation only declined further as the South rose up in rebellion lead by Huey Long, who proclaimed that he’d both liberate DC from the “American Caesar” and free the nation from the tyranny of “Dictator Reed” under the banner of the “American Union State.” While the East fell into chaos, the West only further added to the fire as the west coast seceded from the union as the “last bastion of American democracy” under the Pacific States of America. Oh, and New England declared itself independent too.

With that, the Second American Civil War broke out.

Though initially chaos and stalemate reigned, the war rapidly changed towards the side of MacArthur and his Federalists. Even with the CSA’s superior numbers and courage, and the AUS’ collection of great tactical and strategic military minds, they were simply not a match for the Federalist forces’ superior training and equipment. It was at this point that the impossible came to be as the AUS and CSA, the great ideological enemies, whose leaders despised each other with a burning passion, decided on a temporary armistice and coordinated their efforts fully against MacArthur. It was here that the CSA’s policy and advocacy for race and gender equality began to pay off, as millions of African-Americans fled to the CSA and rapidly joined their ranks, while hundreds of thousands of women volunteered for service in every branch of the armed forces, finding particular success and infamy in the Airforce.

Beginning to feel pressure from both sides, and with the Federalist’s lack of a major industrial base paired with the CSA’s vastly superior one beginning to ware their supplies down, MacArthur’s forces began getting pushed back. Eventually, DC was liberated by CSA forces, and the American Caesar was forced to flee from the country, with the Federalist front collapsing into a bunch of strongholds and rump remnants spread across the continental US.

Yet the CSA would not find much reprieve, as Canada decided it wasn’t in its best interests to have a major Syndicalist force to their south. And so it was that in mid-1938, a scant few weeks after the defeat of MacArthur, that Entente forces in the north and Pacific States forces in the west advanced into CSA territory. The situation became significantly worse as Huey Long, seeing an opportunity to secure victory, broke the truce and restarted the war. And so it was that the CSA, exhausted, was rapidly besieged on three sides. All seemed lost.

However, there was one thing the Syndicalists possessed that others in the world did not: unity by class. Unity by cause. A disregard of gender, race and nationality.

Seeing their brethren in the Americas about to be crushed, the Syndicalist world came to the rescue. First, it was fellow Syndicalists on the American continent who, after solving their own regional disputes, sent arms and volunteers to support America: Mexicans, Argentinians and Chileans marched north to support the CSA. But soon enough the big three of the Third Internationale pledged their support: with the Union of Britain seeing an opportunity to cripple the Royalist Pretenders in Canada, while the Commune of France decided (after much debate) that securing such a major ally in North America would be more beneficial in the long term than striking at Germany, with the Italians practically being dragged along for the ride. By the height of the war in 1939, tens of thousands of soldiers from across the world, from the Communist rump state Georgia in the Caucasus to the underdeveloped yet strong Bharatiya in India, the Syndicalist world had united behind the CSA.

A lack of coordination between the Syndicalist Bloc's enemies also helped in that regard. The American Union State refused to work with the Entente, continuing to attack the Pacific States and was beginning to suffer from internal strife as the alliance between the Longists of Huey Long, the National Populists of William Dudley Pelley and the various private corporations began to fall apart. Canada was similarly effected as both workers and Quebec Nationalists rose up against the monarchy. Even the German Empire was unable to immediately exploit the situation, with civil order increasingly declining in Eastern Europe and a revanchist Russian juggernaut beginning to rise up.

By 1941, the Entente front had collapsed as Canada capitulated. Among the chaos of the Canadian Cataclysm, the fate of the British Royal Family fell into ambiguity and mystery. Rumours began: of the king's brother, Prince Albert Frederick, beaten to death hung on a lamp post. Of Princess Margaret, defiled by revolutionaries before being disposed of in the Ottawa River. Finally, of King Edward VIII himself, decapitated in front of a crowd of Quebec Nationalists and his head then paraded across Ottawa's streets on a pike. Whatever the facts of the matter, only two definite truths are known: 1) The majority of the Royal Family failed to escape Canada and were never heard of again, and 2) that of the main Royal Family, only Princess Elizabeth Alexandra managed to escape from North America on a Royal Navy ship, fleeing first to the West Indies Federation, then to the Australasian Confederation where she was crowned Queen Elizabeth II, rightful monarch of the United Kingdom, Head of the Commonwealth and figurehead of the Entente, or what remained of it.

New England was reconquered rather swiftly, while the Pacific States continued to resist, pushed back to the Rockies where (ironically with the help of MacArthur Federalist remnants) they dug in and successfully fended off multiple CSA incursions. The AUS was a different story, as they were pushed back all the way to the deep south, with Syndicalist forces on the very doorstep of Charleston and the AUS about to collapse into their very own civil war. However, before the final push could commence to finally defeat Long, tragedy struck in Europe as the German Empire finally recuperated and commenced an invasion of the Commune of France, with their allies in the Danubian Federation and the Kingdom of Two Sicilies launching a simultaneous attack on the Socialist Republic of Italy. Syndicalist forces were forced to pull support out from the CSA and, with the people of the CSA demanding that they go to the aid of the allies who had bravely come to theirs, the CSA decided to finally halt the civil war, signing ceasefires with both the Pacific States and the American Union State.

With a now well equipped veteran army and a massive industrial complex fully geared towards war, the CSA brought its full might onto Continental Europe. The situation was initially dire when the first re-organised and recuperated CSA forces landed in Britain in 1942: by that time France only barely held on to enclaves in the north-west and south, while the Italian Republic had been completely conquered by Reichspakt forces. But as CSA troops began flooding into Europe things began to change as the near-limitless resources of their American counterparts counteracted that of Germany's. Particularly effective was a set of new doctrines developed during the Civil War by AUS General George S. Patton (though later adopted by the CSA too), concentrating on speedy penetrations and encirclements via armoured spearheads, this new strategy of "Thunder Striking" found itself very effective against Reichspakt forces.

Quick Summary for rest of lore I'm too lazy to write:
-Syndicalists begin pushing back Reichspakt, Russia invades from the east
-Italy reclaimed, Danubian Federation makes peace (allowed to remain united and in power if Syndicalist parties allowed to run in elections), German Empire crushed and exiled to colonies
-Victory in Europe, John Reed retires allowing for first CoA elections, Europe split between Syndicalist West and Autocratic East
-String of wars in Africa and China against Autocratic forces: mostly against German remnants with Wilhelm III (and his successor Ferdinand I) becoming little more than figureheads as the real power is centred around regional governors across the former empire (such as Falkenhausen in German China), with notably Statthalter Hermann Göring of Mittleafrika likely being the most powerful, and being the de facto leader of the exiled empire due to both his holdings and "protection" of the Imperial Family, having declared himself "Reichsführer" of the empire while "representing" the Imperial Family
-Cold War rises between the Syndicalist world and an Autocratic Alliance lead by Russia, who themselves are co-belligerents with the remnant Entente
-Space Race is happening
-Much of the Syndicalist world is ruled by Totalists (notably Mosley in Britain and Mussolini in Italy), with the Commonwealth one of the only major democracies in the alliance

RP Sample: disclaimer, because people have somehow accused me of this, but I do not at all support the Nazi ideology nor am I a Nazi sympathiser. I simply like RPing villains and love the HoI IV mod "The New Order: Last Days of Europe."

Full Nation Name : Republic of Texas
Short Nation Name : Texas
Flag / National Symbols:
Flag:
(Image)
Government Type : Semi-Federal Presidential Constitutional Republic
Official Political Ideology : The ideology of Texas is a quite complex one at large. The ideological diversity of Texas is quite easy to spot, looking at the main two parties, the Houstonian Party and the Nationalist Party, as well as the up-and-coming People’s Party. The Houstonian Party, named for Sam Houston, originally followed Sam’s policies, but over time it evolved into a classical liberal/centrist ideology. The Nationalist Party is the more right-wing party, being both socially and economically conservative. The People’s Party follows more democratic socialist/social democratic views, which is quite popular among the younger population of Texas, as well as ethnic minorities.
Head of State : President Thomas Mitchell Campbell
Head of Government : ^
Government Description :
The government of Texas is largely based on the American government of its original timeline, with three branches of government. The President, the Vice President, and the Cabinet form the Executive Branch, the bicameral National Congress, consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives, form the Legislative Branch, and the Supreme Court of Texas, as well as other, smaller courts of various levels, form the Judicial Branch. The President is elected every four years, with a three term maximum. The Senate is made up of two elected representatives from each province, and the House of Representatives is made up of many different elected representatives from roughly equally populated congressional districts. Judges on the Supreme Court are appointed by the President and approved by the National Congress, while judges in lesser courts are usually elected.

Territory : Modern boundaries of Texas
Territorial Ambitions : None anymore, as Texas agreed to relinquish its claim on the upper Rio Grande Valley as part of the Rio Grande Compromise with Mexico.
Capital City : Austin
Population : 5,382,593

Majority/Official Culture : Texas formally identifies with the Texan identity, though informally Texas is primarily Anglo-American, with some Hispanic, Afro-Texan, and various European cultures also present.

Majority/State Religion : While Texas is officially a secular state, most Texans are Christians, mostly Protestant, with some following Roman Catholicism. Some various folk religions, such as Voodoo, are present, though not too largely.

Major Industries / Economic sectors: Oil, Natural Gas, Refined Steel, Cattle, Cotton, Foodstuffs
Amount of Industrialization : Texas, while not as industrialized as its timeline’s America, is a rather industrialized nation itself. Factories are present in its largest cities, though much of the countryside remains rural.
Economic Description : Texas’ economy has boomed in recent decades with the discovery of oil, and stood as one of the world’s largest oil producers. With the introduction of factories in the early to mid 1850’s, Texas has also been an important producer of refined materials, such as steel. While Texas has made strides with industrialization, the countryside remains largely agricultural, with various crops being grown by the many farmers who inhabit the countryside.

Technological Level : Great War-era
Magic and other shenanigans? (If any exists) : none

Military Description

Army:
120,000 Standing Army
400,000 Including Reserves
115 Holt’s Tractors, modified into early tanks


Navy:

15 battleships
20 cruisers
1 monitor
28 destroyers
12 torpedo boats
19 submarines
14 steel gunboats
26 auxilliaries
6 gunboats
(All WW1 era)
Air Force:
Texas has been researching the development and deployment of airplanes for combat, though for now, Texas has no Air Force

National Goals : The goals of Texans for Texas vary based on political views and other factors, but overall goals that all Texans share is to insure the survival of the Republic, secure Texas’ defenses, and to become a shining beacon of democracy and freedom for the rest of the world to follow, both their old world and this mysterious new world that they find themselves in.


History : Texas first won its liberty after the defeat and capture of Mexican despot and general Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto. In 1844, Anson Jones was elected President, and he began negotiations with the United States regarding annexation. Naturally, alarms rang in Mexico, which had up to this point considered Texas a rebellious province. Mexico sent a message to the Republic saying that Mexico would recognize the independence of Texas if they didn’t join the US. Texas would accept, which caught the United States off guard. Texas also gained widespread recognition afterwards, as many countries didn’t recognize Texas at first because they didn’t want to tarnish their relationship with Mexico, a problem which was all but eliminated with this agreement.

However, while the agreement benefited both sides, there were still disputes between Texas and Mexico, the biggest regarding the border. Texas still maintained its pre-recognition claims on the upper Rio Grande Valley, while Mexico maintained that the Nueces River was the boundary. However, in 1846, Mexico revised its constitution and held special elections. Ricardo Gutierrez Gomez was elected president, and he was willing to negotiate a compromise with Texas regarding the border. In early 1847, he invited Texan president at the time Anson Jones to Mexico City to negotiate, an invitation he accepted. After a 9 day negotiation period, an agreement was made. Texas would be granted new territory to form its current borders for a sum of 15 million dollars. As part of the agreement, Texas would relinquish its claim on the upper Rio Grande Valley and grant Mexicans living in the newly acquired land dual citizenship, while Mexico would would pull its troops out of the territory and hand over government owned property to Texas.

Some Mexicans within the government objected, and made a legal challenge against the Rio Grande Compromise, as it came to be named, and the case made it all the way to the Mexican Supreme Court, though they would rule to uphold the compromise, setting it in stone. Some Mexicans celebrated the ruling, others reviled it, and Texans and Mexicans living in the ceded territory who feared military reoccupation breathed a collective sigh of relief.

After the agreement, all was quite in North America, until 1849, when gold was discovered in Mexican California. Naturally, many were attracted to California, and nearly 300,000 would immigrate to the territory over the next year, primarily Americans. In reaction to the sudden spike in population, Mexico would carve two new territories out of the Alta California territory: California Territory, which consisted of main California and Baja California, and New Mexico Territory, which consisted of the rest of Alta California. Mexico, however, would prove to have not learned its lesson from how they mismanaged Texas, making those same mistakes that causes the Texan Revolution, restricting trade and immigration from the United States and increasing military presence. To further anger the Californians, when Mexican elections began in 1850, they were denied a voice, as they were a territory and not a state. And then, Ricardo Gutierrez Gomez would win re-election, though his opponent would coup the Mexican government soon after his defeat, as he had earned the support of the military. They had been against Ricardo Gutierrez Gomez largely because he reduced military spending by 40% during his tenure. After the coup, Californians feared that their already limited freedoms would be further limited, and massive protests overtook San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as in other cities and towns in California Territory. The new government saw these protests as borderline treason, and ordered for extra troops to be sent to regain control of the territory. The people naturally objected, and many Californians rise up in arms and clashed with Mexican troops in the Territory, sparking the Californian Revolution.

Higher up Californians, such as Joshua Norton, as well as average civilians, would gather in San Francisco regarding the future of California, and inevitably, the idea of independence was brought up, and it proved to be a popular one. After some debate, a Declaration of Independence would be unanimously approved, and would begin to be drafted. However, Mexican troops would land in the harbor and take the city, and the people in the meeting fled, until they reached a mining outpost town, which would eventually become Sacramento, the capitol of California. There, the declaration was drafted and signed, and the Republic of California would declare its independence from Mexico, “for the reasons of the abuse of, disregard for, and blatant limitation of the God given rights and lives of the people of California”(excerpt from the declaration).

The United States would quite quickly recognize the independence of California, which resulted in Mexico suspending diplomatic relations with America.

[Remnants of Exilvania]

Full Nation Name : The Czechoslovak Republic often also referred to in a semi-official manner as The Czechoslovak State
Short Nation Name : Czechoslovakia
Flag / National Symbols: Ruling Party Symbol, Ruling Party Flag, Coat of Arms

Government Type : Fascist One Party State
Official Political Ideology : Fascism
Head of State : President Karolína Rys-Rozsévač
Head of Government : President Karolína Rys-Rozsévač
Government Description : The Czechoslovak State is run by a single party, the Vlajka, with all other parties being banned and rigid discipline being enforced within the party. The Head of State as well as of the Government is the president who, in theory, is elected every 5 years by the Diet of the Czechoslovak Republic. In practice these elections are not held unless there is an internal coup in the party. Said Diet is in theory the highest acting legislative body but in reality is little more than an echo chamber for the party leadership, voting almost unanimously for any laws that are to be passed or amended. Members of the roughly 300 strong Diet are supposed to be elected every 5 years too but no elections have been held for the past decades since the Vlajka won elections and eliminated all political opposition parties.

The true power obviouslay lay in the hands of the party leadership which generally formed the State Council, consisting of leading members of the party or non-affiliated experts in the high graces of the party leadership. Officially having only an advisory role, the members of the State Council actually execute extreme power over the ministers as well as the Diet.

The Government's control is then executed along a long line of government officials and local mayors, all of which are members of the party, membership being mandatory for employment by the state. It is however possible to receive a salary from the state by being "requested" to direct and organize one's personal work with that of the state and receiving donations in acknowledgement of one's service to the betterment of the nation...essentially a fancy way of contracting those with skills required by the state but unwilling or undesired to join the party.

Territory : Remaining Czechoslovakia and Poland
Territorial Ambitions : Short term goal? Silesia & Lusatia. Medium term goal? Hungary & Austria. Long term goal? Eastern and Central Europe.
Capital City : Prague
Population : 41,165 million

Majority/Official Culture : Czech, Slovak, Polish

Majority/State Religion : Roman Catholic

Major Industries / Economic sectors: As the center of a former world hegemon, Czechoslovakia is generally highly industrialized, boasting famous and well developed arms industries, a developed automobile, aircraft and chemical industry as well as resource extraction industries focusing on mining, in particular the famous Kutna Hora silver which is highly sought after due to its properties against Daemons. There still remains a atrong agricultural industry, much more prevalent in Slovakia and especcially in Poland than in Czechia, albeit Slovakia employs one more of the animal herding variety than the growth based sort. Similarly the Czechoslovak industry still requires imports of many raw materials to continue functioning for longer, the most damning of these being oil and gas as without these large parts of Czechoslovak daily life and governmental misadventuries would come a stop.
Amount of Industrialization : Highly industrialized in particular in Czechia and the Warsaw region, whereas Slovakia and much of Poland is more rural, industries being mostly concentrated in southern Slovakia and some of the larger polish cities like Krakow.
Economic Description : Well, uhm, capitalistic-oligarchic? The oligarchs in this case being party bigwigs or people who manage to get themselves into the good graces of the party, using their influence to eliminate competitors and cheaply acquire new assets and grow their companies as well as using paying off the inspectors to oversee certain workspace regulations for increased profit and productivity. This, horrid industrial practice, combined with the government's focus on military matters and drive for war with the British Empire has led to a stagnation of the industry as well as large amounts of poverty, many Bohemians barely scraping by on the low wages they receive and having to work long hours or sending their entire families to work to try and increase their earnings.

Technological Level: 1950s-1960s
Magic and other shenanigans? (If any exists) :Yes.
Magic in Czechoslovakia can almost always be traced back to Daemons. Daemons are the only ones capable of casting magic and a privileged class of Mages who holds the education and skill to summon them are their masters. As such Daemons are used in a great variety of ways, often as living/magical supplements for other things. They are however also often bound into inanimate objects in order to imbue said objects with specific qualities, so called enchantments. Depending on the tier of Daemon used, the enchantments very in power and utlity.

Daemons on the other hand are beings from another plane of existence. Through well researched and documented methods the Mages are able to call on Daemons and summon them into the mortal realm and make them do their bidding. All of this works due to the Mages' knowing the Daemons' true names. Vice versa a Daemon who knows a Mage's true name can not be bound into a contract anymore and as such it is common for Mages to receive a fake name at a young age.

The power of demons depends highly on their classification. Depending on it they can change into practically any shape, can be invisible to the human eye and have real forms on only higher plains of sight. They can cast a wide variety of magic that bends the very laws of reality, the more powerful the more extreme with the most powerful known bound entity known to be capable of making any wish come true at the cost of nothing but some life force.

Of course demons have weaknesses, the biggest known one being silver and to a lesser degree iron. These materials when coming into contact with Daemons bite at their very essence, lessening their hold on this reality and even capable of destroying them permanently. Similarly Daemons can not remain in the mortal world forever as it causes them pain and agony and continuosly saps their power, which is why most Daemons are only contracted for single tasks or short times before being released again. Bound Daemons of course have to suffer, growing weaker and weaker untill the objects imbued to them have lost much of their original power, with only the most powerful of relics capable of remaining strong.

Other clear indications of magic are lycanthropy, a demonic disease transferred through the exchange of bodily fluids which generally leads to stronger and more aggressive humans with the ability to transform into a much stronger werewolf form at will (with the exception of full moons), and vampirism though with a caveat of a deathly weakness to silver, and Vamprism, a similar daemonic disease transferred through blood and granting those afflicted eternal youth, immortality and very strongly improved physical abilities which can be increased through the consumption of blood yet also with the caveat of a, unless regularly slaked, maddening thirst for blood, very sun sensitive skin and strong weakness to silver.

Lastly and very rarely there are those regular people who have been born with a rare gene that allows them to resist magic. Their powers are often ignored or considered a nuisance as their numbers are very low and there are plenty of ways to harm a person without utilizing magic.

Military Description

Army: The current standing Czechoslovak Army is about 1 million strong, a result of the conflict between the British Empire and the Czechoslovak State waged over the past years over dominance on the European continent. About 280.000 of those men are well trained and equipped professionals and volunteers, indoctrinated and fanatical devotees of the Vlajka. Clad in blue uniforms and gasmasks and armed with assault rifles, tanks, troop carriers and SPGs, they make up the core of the Czechoslovakian Army. Or what remains of it. They are backed up by about 680.000 first rate conscripts of a young age, most of which are armed with semi-automatic rifles and whose training and loyalty is not quite as high as that of the core. Nonetheless they remain capable soldiers of the highly militarized state and a force to be reckoned with on the field, well capable of holding a line or advancing, albeit slowly as they are infantry divisions.

The pride of the Czechoslovak State consists of the First Tank Army, a highly mobile and fully mechanized force consisting of about 2 Armoured Corps and 1 Mechanized Corps and thus practically the entirety of Czechoslovakia's professional and volunteer troops. Having just returned from fighting in Italy, the Army has undergone major refitting and refilling, combat veterans passing on their experience to fresh volunteers while the armoured fleet is more standardized with newer tank models. Many among the soldiers in this formation are werewolves or vampires, both groups having done well in establishing themselves as firm supporters of the Vlajka regime.

The Czechoslovak Army is of course also backed up by Mages and Daemons, though their numbers are fairly low, with many mages being utilized on the production and homefront and Czechoslovakia never having quite recovered from the devastation of the war against Gladstone's Britain. Still there are several thousand mages strewn across the Czechoslovak Army, most often in positions of atleast somewhat higher station than the most basic grunts or atleast generally in positions that keep them off the field of battle, primarily because they are a valuable resource but also because their craft requires tidy rooms, some peace and summoning Daemons to fight their battles for them. The numbers of Daemons as well as their quality thus highly fluctuate.

Navy: It does not eist.

Air Force: The Air is our Sea, was a motto that Czechoslovakian Mundanes quicly adopted as the aeroplane started becoming popular, with many Czechoslovak inventors, flight pioneers and investors jumping upon the opportunity of a likely soon to rapidly develop market. As such several major aircraft companies such as Avia, Letov and Aero have formed with Czechoslovakia proper, which continue to produce high grade military aircraft for the Czechoslovak Air Force. The Air Force on the other hand has about 280.000 personnel currently operating within it, the vast majority of them being radar operators, anti air defense crews and airport personnel, in short, support personnel. However, here too there is a large portion of volunteers and professionals, about 40.000 in number (being part of the 280.000 number) and generally operate as support personnel supervisors and foremen, as pilots or as paratroopers in Czechoslovakia's two paratrooper brigades.

National Goals : The destruction of the British Empire and its hegemony over the world. Followed by re-establishing itself as the dominant power in Europe.


History : A century and a half ago, the Bohemian Empire was the hegemon of the world. Ambassadors from far and wide flocked to its court bringing gifts and their princes to study at the Bohemian court, hoping that Bohemia's imperial wrath was not going to come down on them. Yet like all always, all good things must come to an end and so it did for the Bohemian Empire, though it was spared the agony of a long death to internal intrigue and growing civil strife. Not that it wasn't already happening, no, it was simply cut short by the actions of one Prime Minister Gladstone, who forced the British Parliament in a coup'd etat to invest him with emergency powers and declared war on the Bohemian Empire, raising an army with which he landed in France and proceeded to rampage across the continent to the very gates of Prague itself. It was here that the British Army beat the Bohemian Army, it was here that the previously thought invincible Bohemian Golems were finally stopped. It was here where the Imperial Family was slain.

The Bohemian Empire capitulated and cracked under the pressure. The British Empire demanded vast territorial concessions as well as newly independent buffer states everywhere west of Prague and the Bohemian corelands. Meanwhile civil strife between newly rising revolutionaries, revanchists nationalists and stubborn separatists sent the former Empire tumbling into a vast abyss. With the loss of the superpower status, economic activity and trade moved towards London instead of Prague and the economy quickly started feeling the results, recession hitting and many left without a job and in poverty, waxing and waning over the lost glory days.

Was it then so surprising that it was fertile grounds for extremist factions to pop up and grow? Chief among those eventually turned out to be the Vlajka, a far right party founded by the former journalist Jan Rys-Rozsévač and which proceeded to quickly rise in the polls in the wake of another economic seccession shaking the nation in the 1930s which eventually led to the Vlajka acquiring a full majority in the Diet in the 1938 elections, despite numerous, doubtlessly British sponsored attempts to have the party banned. Almost immediately the Vlajka moved with purpose and speed, seizing power in virtually all walks of life and passing numerous laws. Laws for national security and the like which quickly saw all other parties either banned or absorbed into the Vlajka. Following that the Vlajka would begin a massive rearmament scheme, largely phasing out the idea ofMages being the ruling class, primarily because it was uncomfortably British but also because the Mages had failed the Bohemian Empire and as such were no longer deservin of their rule. However, with Mages so deeply ingrained into the culture, economy and warfare, they remained indispensable to the regime and so quickly had several of their privileges reinstated, returning to their status as a privileged upper class, albeit that status now had to be shared with Mundane Party Officials.

In 1962 Jan Rys-Rozsévač would finally think the time to be there and would begin an invasion of Lusatia, testing Britain's strength after nearly a century having passed. The Czechslovak Armiy Group initially made good headway, the new tanks and aircraft proving to be impressive weapons on the battlefield...yet the British Empire was at the height of its power and its counterstrike was terrible, costing the Czechoslovaks the entire Army Group and ending the small conflict before it had even begun. This disastrous war quickly cost the aging Vlajka leader Jan Rys-Rozsévač his position, rivals within the Vlajka party now finally seeing a moment of weakness and gaining enough momentum to topple his position and relieve him of his post as President of the Republic and leader of the party.

The one to come to power next was Yuri Moravec, son of prominent General Emanuel Moravec, and dreamer of peace and prosperity. He popped the Czechoslovak rearmament bubble and attempted economic reforms...yet none seemed to work well and the nation tumbled further down a hole into more economic depression, with Moravec's pleas to London for economic aid and investment falling on deaf ears. Still, the deeply ingrained loyalty within the Vlajka party as well as the lack of a clear opponent to him, ensured that Yuri remained in power as President untill...untill 1993.

Unbeknownst to the aging Moravec, the granddaughter of the founder and former leader of the Vlajka, Jan Rys-Rozsévač, Karolína Rys-Rozsévač, had taken an interest in politics and, using her grandfather's fame, the humiliation of the lost Lusatian War long forgotten in the face of the continued economic depression, and the terrible effects of Moravec's policies on the Czechoslovak nation as tools to garner support within the party untill launching her own coup'd etat against Moravec, who was promptly detained and executed for high treason and collaboration with the enemy. Now a 15 year old girl had just become the most powerful person the the second most powerful nation of Europe.

Many thought her inexperienced, unfit for the job. Many thought her naive and easy to manipulate. And she certainly played to everyone's expectations, being a seemingly weak and gullible fool who did as she was told by her elders, her better. Yet not for long as barely half a year after her election as President, she had ordered and executed large scale purges within the party which were carried out on Christmas Eve, Vlajka assassins ruthlessly going about their jobs even on this most holy of days. It set a sign that the new President was far from as weak as once thought...and she was not afraid of anything to get what she wanted.

In the following years she restarted the Czechoslovak rearmament program and also began to wage multiple low intensity wars against the British Empire, which was simultaneously already struggling with a large scale insurgency in the New World colonies. Czechoslovak troops slowly inched their way across Austria and even began fighting for Italy, besieging the city of Rome itself...when suddenly, in 2003, the nation found itself in a familiar place yet faced with very unfamiliar people. Czechoslovakia had remained yet where did everything else go?

Full Nation Name : Republic of Texas
Short Nation Name : Texas
Flag / National Symbols:
Flag:
(Image)
Government Type : Semi-Federal Presidential Constitutional Republic
Official Political Ideology : The ideology of Texas is a quite complex one at large. The ideological diversity of Texas is quite easy to spot, looking at the main two parties, the Houstonian Party and the Nationalist Party, as well as the up-and-coming People’s Party. The Houstonian Party, named for Sam Houston, originally followed Sam’s policies, but over time it evolved into a classical liberal/centrist ideology. The Nationalist Party is the more right-wing party, being both socially and economically conservative. The People’s Party follows more democratic socialist/social democratic views, which is quite popular among the younger population of Texas, as well as ethnic minorities.
Head of State : President Thomas Mitchell Campbell
Head of Government : ^
Government Description :
The government of Texas is largely based on the American government of its original timeline, with three branches of government. The President, the Vice President, and the Cabinet form the Executive Branch, the bicameral National Congress, consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives, form the Legislative Branch, and the Supreme Court of Texas, as well as other, smaller courts of various levels, form the Judicial Branch. The President is elected every four years, with a three term maximum. The Senate is made up of two elected representatives from each province, and the House of Representatives is made up of many different elected representatives from roughly equally populated congressional districts. Judges on the Supreme Court are appointed by the President and approved by the National Congress, while judges in lesser courts are usually elected.

Territory : Modern boundaries of Texas
Territorial Ambitions : None anymore, as Texas agreed to relinquish its claim on the upper Rio Grande Valley as part of the Rio Grande Compromise with Mexico.
Capital City : Austin
Population : 5,382,593

Majority/Official Culture : Texas formally identifies with the Texan identity, though informally Texas is primarily Anglo-American, with some Hispanic, Afro-Texan, and various European cultures also present.

Majority/State Religion : While Texas is officially a secular state, most Texans are Christians, mostly Protestant, with some following Roman Catholicism. Some various folk religions, such as Voodoo, are present, though not too largely.

Major Industries / Economic sectors: Oil, Natural Gas, Refined Steel, Cattle, Cotton, Foodstuffs
Amount of Industrialization : Texas, while not as industrialized as its timeline’s America, is a rather industrialized nation itself. Factories are present in its largest cities, though much of the countryside remains rural.
Economic Description : Texas’ economy has boomed in recent decades with the discovery of oil, and stood as one of the world’s largest oil producers. With the introduction of factories in the early to mid 1850’s, Texas has also been an important producer of refined materials, such as steel. While Texas has made strides with industrialization, the countryside remains largely agricultural, with various crops being grown by the many farmers who inhabit the countryside.

Technological Level : Great War-era
Magic and other shenanigans? (If any exists) : none

Military Description

Army:
120,000 Standing Army
400,000 Including Reserves
115 Holt’s Tractors, modified into early tanks


Navy:

15 battleships
20 cruisers
1 monitor
28 destroyers
12 torpedo boats
19 submarines
14 steel gunboats
26 auxilliaries
6 gunboats
(All WW1 era)
Air Force:
Texas has been researching the development and deployment of airplanes for combat, though for now, Texas has no Air Force

National Goals : The goals of Texans for Texas vary based on political views and other factors, but overall goals that all Texans share is to insure the survival of the Republic, secure Texas’ defenses, and to become a shining beacon of democracy and freedom for the rest of the world to follow, both their old world and this mysterious new world that they find themselves in.


History : Texas first won its liberty after the defeat and capture of Mexican despot and general Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto. In 1844, Anson Jones was elected President, and he began negotiations with the United States regarding annexation. Naturally, alarms rang in Mexico, which had up to this point considered Texas a rebellious province. Mexico sent a message to the Republic saying that Mexico would recognize the independence of Texas if they didn’t join the US. Texas would accept, which caught the United States off guard. Texas also gained widespread recognition afterwards, as many countries didn’t recognize Texas at first because they didn’t want to tarnish their relationship with Mexico, a problem which was all but eliminated with this agreement.

However, while the agreement benefited both sides, there were still disputes between Texas and Mexico, the biggest regarding the border. Texas still maintained its pre-recognition claims on the upper Rio Grande Valley, while Mexico maintained that the Nueces River was the boundary. However, in 1846, Mexico revised its constitution and held special elections. Ricardo Gutierrez Gomez was elected president, and he was willing to negotiate a compromise with Texas regarding the border. In early 1847, he invited Texan president at the time Anson Jones to Mexico City to negotiate, an invitation he accepted. After a 9 day negotiation period, an agreement was made. Texas would be granted new territory to form its current borders for a sum of 15 million dollars. As part of the agreement, Texas would relinquish its claim on the upper Rio Grande Valley and grant Mexicans living in the newly acquired land dual citizenship, while Mexico would would pull its troops out of the territory and hand over government owned property to Texas.

Some Mexicans within the government objected, and made a legal challenge against the Rio Grande Compromise, as it came to be named, and the case made it all the way to the Mexican Supreme Court, though they would rule to uphold the compromise, setting it in stone. Some Mexicans celebrated the ruling, others reviled it, and Texans and Mexicans living in the ceded territory who feared military reoccupation breathed a collective sigh of relief.

After the agreement, all was quite in North America, until 1849, when gold was discovered in Mexican California. Naturally, many were attracted to California, and nearly 300,000 would immigrate to the territory over the next year, primarily Americans. In reaction to the sudden spike in population, Mexico would carve two new territories out of the Alta California territory: California Territory, which consisted of main California and Baja California, and New Mexico Territory, which consisted of the rest of Alta California. Mexico, however, would prove to have not learned its lesson from how they mismanaged Texas, making those same mistakes that causes the Texan Revolution, restricting trade and immigration from the United States and increasing military presence. To further anger the Californians, when Mexican elections began in 1850, they were denied a voice, as they were a territory and not a state. And then, Ricardo Gutierrez Gomez would win re-election, though his opponent would coup the Mexican government soon after his defeat, as he had earned the support of the military. They had been against Ricardo Gutierrez Gomez largely because he reduced military spending by 40% during his tenure. After the coup, Californians feared that their already limited freedoms would be further limited, and massive protests overtook San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as in other cities and towns in California Territory. The new government saw these protests as borderline treason, and ordered for extra troops to be sent to regain control of the territory. The people naturally objected, and many Californians rise up in arms and clashed with Mexican troops in the Territory, sparking the Californian Revolution.

Higher up Californians, such as Joshua Norton, as well as average civilians, would gather in San Francisco regarding the future of California, and inevitably, the idea of independence was brought up, and it proved to be a popular one. After some debate, a Declaration of Independence would be unanimously approved, and would begin to be drafted. However, Mexican troops would land in the harbor and take the city, and the people in the meeting fled, until they reached a mining outpost town, which would eventually become Sacramento, the capitol of California. There, the declaration was drafted and signed, and the Republic of California would declare its independence from Mexico, “for the reasons of the abuse of, disregard for, and blatant limitation of the God given rights and lives of the people of California”(excerpt from the declaration).

The United States would quite quickly recognize the independence of California, which resulted in Mexico suspending diplomatic relations with America.

Full Nation Name : The Greater Prussian Volksrepublic of Germany
Short Nation Name : Germany
Flag / National Symbols:


Government Type : Stratocratic Multi-Party Khakistrocractic Republic
Official Political Ideology : Marxism-Leninism with Prussian characteristics
Head of State :General-President Fredrich von Paulus
Head of Government : Admiral-Chancellor Augustine Robespierre
Government Description : A self-declared "socialist soldier's state", political power is evenly divided between both the navy and the army. The most basic government unit is the Bunker, which is comprised of a few somewhat fortified towns under the command of a Bronzekommando, (almost always an officer in rank) named after the bronze emblem on their uniforms. At least 11 to 34 Bunkers make up a Base, which is governed by a Silberkommando (Silver commander) (usually a general).

The ones who Silberkommandos report to directly are the Goldkommando (Gold commander), which are distinguished by their general veteran status and are regarded as high ranking industralists and military field marshalls. There are only 7 Goldkommandos, which make up the German General Worker's Staff Office or Deutsches Generalstabsbüro, also known informaly as the d.g.s.ü for short.

Full suffrage is given to both retired and active duty soldiers, along with any veterans of the Army and Navy. Officers (aka Bronzekommandos) are elected every two years in each Bunker. Silberkommandos and Goldkommandos can only be removed via the d.g.s.ü. However, members of the d.g.s.ü. can be removed via a 2/3rds majority in both the Soldatenkongress and Seemannskongress respectively.

The two houses of the legislature are the 147 member Soldatenkongress for soldiers and the Army and 143 member Seemannskongress for the Navy. Bills must start in the Soldatenkongress, then they are edited by the Seemannskongress, then both houses come together to work out whatever issues there are in either version, before presenting the bill to the d.g.s.ü, who passes legislation by a 3/4ths majority at least.



Territory :

Capital City : Wilhelmshaven
Population : 62,451,000 people

Majority/Official Culture : German

Majority/State Religion : Volkskult

Major Industries / Economic sectors: Steel, Coal, Automobiles, Grain, Wheat,
Amount of Industrialization : The parts of the country that haven't been subject to an allied ass whooping in the form of strategic bombing work surprisingly competently, though most of our coal and oil production has been slashed in recent years due to the war effort.
Economic Description : The economy is centraly run, though with certain full monopolizes given to former Junker estates and economical families that have been in Germany throughout the generations (Krupp, Volkswagen, some third nazi company). Certain quotas are imposed by the Bronzekommandos, acting on orders passed directly up by the d.g.s.ü which ultimately has the final say in economic matters of state and can impose rationing at will just to piss off other sections of the economy.

Technological Level : World War II
Magic and other shenanigans? (If any exists) : lol no

Military Description

Army: The Army of the Volksrepublic is comprised of a mixture of old men, young boys and a core of diehard fanatics. While it still maintains a solid number of garrisoned soldiers and men that would quantify the "cream of the crop", huge losses during the war have meant it needed to rush even more training for general soldiers in order to have a large pool of manpower on standby incase the enemy struck the nation again. It's also known for it's massive tank, artillery and "special" military equipment that it utilizes within the armed forces as combinations of the doctrine of Blitzkreig and "Sit on your asskreig", also known as defensive doctrine.

-1,400,000 active duty soldiers
-900,000 reserve duty soldiers

3,106 Sturmgeschütz III Assault Guns
2,000 Pantherturm Bunkers built all along the frontline with the Roman Empire.



Navy:
Ravaged during the War, The Kreigsmarine was only able to live on thanks to the surprising competence of a few high ranking officals who politicaly manuvered former french ships from destruction and commissioned them into the navy. Only one of the Kreigsmarine's battleships is domesticaly built, that being the Gneisenau. In order to better supplement the shortcomings of the Kreigsmarine, a rare bipartisan comprimise released several Pantherturm an Tigerturm turrets from fortifications along the coast, being slapped onto refitting destroyer classes, resulting in the creation of the Tigerzerstörer and Pantherzerstörer Destroyer classes. The only thing constraining this project is a distinct lack of hulls to place the turrets onto, which has slowly begun to have been solved in recent years.

National Goals :
Figure out what in the hell is going on
Secure Pan-Prussian supremacy over Europe
Try not to die

History : Adolf Hitler's fall from grace was spectacular for how shocking it was. Yet for those in Germany at the time, it was painfully obvious that something big was about to happen. Yet when they woke up from their sleepy beds on July 2nd, 1934, got their cup of coffee, avoided tripping over their home-shackeled steps and the such, when their radios blared to life, it was not the rough, meaty voice of their beloved leader, instead, it was a strange and alien voice. Still german through and through, but with a distinct...distance from himself. As if the man was a few steps too far away from the microphone. The Whispy paragraphs and sentences blended to one another as he spoke with such surpreme excellence, always with a look of disdain on his face if anyone could see the man in the studio.

"Citizens of the Riech. Do not fret. Order will be restored to Germany. I...deeply regret to inform all of you listening right now that the Führer..is dead. The traitorous filth have been apprehended. I name to you a list of the vermin's names. Eva Braun. Albert Speer. Ernst Röhm. Rudolf Hess. Even dear President Paul von Hindenberg! The conspiracy went all the way to the top! Martial law is declared throughout the Reich. I repeat, never fear, for I, General-President Fredrich Paulus, am here!"

The German national anthem played following this message, and Germany was never the same after that. Von Paulus moved quickly to secure the assistance of the army following the Führer's death. Several backroom deals and blank cheques later and he had managed to reorganize the nation. The National Socialist German Worker's Party was disbanded along with the Riechstag and Justice Departments. The Greater German Riech was officially disbanded on August 21st, 1934. In it's place was the establishment of The Greater Prussian Volksrepublic of Germany.

The real victims of Hitler's death were the tens of thousands of perceived "counter-revolutionary rats" that had cowardly inflicted a blow against National Socialism. A wide-sweeping purge was conducted on almost every sector of life. German factory owners had their businesses shut down and their workers ordered or paid to go on strike, only for then for some bloke with a fat stack of Riechsmarks to hire some army goons to "clean up" those striking workers, leading to more blood being spilt on the streets of every major Prussian City. Die-hard fanatical Nazis were rounded up and put in camps to "re-educate them" on the basics of Marxism-Leninism with Prussian Characteristics.

The state soon entertained historical legitimacy from the Prussians, with generals such as Schanhorst, Gniseneau, Blucher, Von Moltke and Bismarck all being worshiped both as gods and as political titans and "elder statesmen" of the rabid national militarism of the self-declared successor of the Prussians and even Knights of the Grand Teutons of the 1400s.

It only makes sense that if you've got this much militarism everywhere, you find a...weaker neighbor to construct it on. That neighbor was the Dutch. Why? Von Paulus didn't really know and he didn't really care, he just heard that they had COLONIES. The fuck?! The Soldier's Worker's must rise up against such degenerate actions such as "looting some shitty island". So he calls up his commanders and rants for a solid three days straight against the Dutch. He goes into expletive ridden tirades against their history, culture, funny guns and military incompetence.

Then he orders a full scale invasion on April 1, 1937. In spite of the Netherlands being guaranteed by the Irish, Qing Dynasty and the Soviet Empire under the People's Tsar, the invasion went very well. Unfortunately, then the French fucks got involved and began to bomb the shit out of Germany. No deal... just cut off their supply lines to Russia by steamrolling a quarter of a million men into the Austrian Khannate. Kublai Khan Franz Ferdinand did put up one hell of a fight, but their ethnic bitching was too fragile. In spite of a four year invasion, he had done it. So then Von Paulus goes to the Nicholas and says "hey, I like you, you like me, let's end this war." So he says: "Fuck off and eat shit." So Von Paulus decides to invade the Soviet Union on December 1st, 1942. It went pretty well until June of 1943, when they got to a small town called Stalingrad. Von Paulus decides to go there personally and gets frozen by November in the city.

After that clusterfuck, Von Paulus sets his sites on Leningrad, and pitches some of the german army on a full scale offensive to take the city. The operation gets bogged down because winter again and von Paulus is forced to retreat, blowing up anything valuable in the wake of it's failure. The Soviets then push relentlessly, driving the Germans directly back across most of Eastern Europe. In December of 1944 a last ditch offensive was launched to reclaim Prussia, which saw limited success until being forced back by fierce soviet counterattacks by January of 1945. The official history of the Volksrepublik was extinguished when the Soviets reached Wilhelmshaven, which was the scene of the most brutal street to street fighting of the entire war. Sooner or later they got closer to Von Paulus's command tank, with him starting to freak out.

The few, dirty, hungry emaciated looking survivors of the once proud 6th Army dug in and prepared to fight to the very last. They weren't about to fight for this long and just give up. They owed it to their glorious Von Paulus. The ghost of Führer Hitler demanded that they fight to the last! With that, Von Paulus himself calmly hopped out from the tank, Calvary saber in one hand and Luger pistol in the other. His eyes glowed red with a vengeance. He dismounted from the King Tiger command tank. A crack of rifle fire soon brought the dictator down on his knees, feeling shocked that the leader of Germany for many years could just be cut down. It shook the very men that had worshiped his leadership. It shook fear into many Germans and indeed many Russians, who were unsure as to the moves of this dictatorial madman. They got closer and closer until... a bright light engulfed the sky, forcing Von Paulus's bloodshot eyes tightly shut.

When the leader would open his eyes again, some very weird shit would have happened...

Government Type : Stratocratic Multi-Party Khakistrocractic Republic
Official Political Ideology : Marxism-Leninism with Prussian characteristics
Head of State :General-President Fredrich von Paulus
Head of Government : Admiral-Chancellor Augustine Robespierre
Government Description : A self-declared "socialist soldier's state", political power is evenly divided between both the navy and the army. The most basic government unit is the Bunker, which is comprised of a few somewhat fortified towns under the command of a Bronzekommando, (almost always an officer in rank) named after the bronze emblem on their uniforms. At least 11 to 34 Bunkers make up a Base, which is governed by a Silberkommando (Silver commander) (usually a general).

The ones who Silberkommandos report to directly are the Goldkommando (Gold commander), which are distinguished by their general veteran status and are regarded as high ranking industralists and military field marshalls. There are only 7 Goldkommandos, which make up the German General Worker's Staff Office or Deutsches Generalstabsbüro, also known informaly as the d.g.s.ü for short.

Full suffrage is given to both retired and active duty soldiers, along with any veterans of the Army and Navy. Officers (aka Bronzekommandos) are elected every two years in each Bunker. Silberkommandos and Goldkommandos can only be removed via the d.g.s.ü. However, members of the d.g.s.ü. can be removed via a 2/3rds majority in both the Soldatenkongress and Seemannskongress respectively.

The two houses of the legislature are the 147 member Soldatenkongress for soldiers and the Army and 143 member Seemannskongress for the Navy. Bills must start in the Soldatenkongress, then they are edited by the Seemannskongress, then both houses come together to work out whatever issues there are in either version, before presenting the bill to the d.g.s.ü, who passes legislation by a 3/4ths majority at least.



Territory : (Image)
Territorial Ambitions :
Capital City : Wilhelmshaven
Population : 62,451,000 people

Majority/Official Culture : German

Majority/State Religion : Volkskult

Major Industries / Economic sectors: Steel, Coal, Automobiles, Grain, Wheat,
Amount of Industrialization : The parts of the country that haven't been subject to an allied ass whooping in the form of strategic bombing work surprisingly competently, though most of our coal and oil production has been slashed in recent years due to the war effort.
Economic Description : The economy is centraly run, though with certain full monopolizes given to former Junker estates and economical families that have been in Germany throughout the generations (Krupp, Volkswagen, some third nazi company). Certain quotas are imposed by the Bronzekommandos, acting on orders passed directly up by the d.g.s.ü which ultimately has the final say in economic matters of state and can impose rationing at will just to piss off other sections of the economy.

Technological Level : World War II
Magic and other shenanigans? (If any exists) : lol no

Military Description

Army: The Army of the Volksrepublic is comprised of a mixture of old men, young boys and a core of diehard fanatics. While it still maintains a solid number of garrisoned soldiers and men that would quantify the "cream of the crop", huge losses during the war have meant it needed to rush even more training for general soldiers in order to have a large pool of manpower on standby incase the enemy struck the nation again. It's also known for it's massive tank, artillery and "special" military equipment that it utilizes within the armed forces as combinations of the doctrine of Blitzkreig and "Sit on your asskreig", also known as defensive doctrine.

Navy:
Ravaged during the War, The Kreigsmarine was only able to live on thanks to the surprising competence of a few high ranking officals who politicaly manuvered former french ships from destruction and commissioned them into the navy. Only one of the Kreigsmarine's battleships is domesticaly built, that being the Gneisenau. In order to better supplement the shortcomings of the Kreigsmarine, a rare bipartisan comprimise released several Pantherturm an Tigerturm turrets from fortifications along the coast, being slapped onto refitting destroyer classes, resulting in the creation of the Tigerzerstörer and Pantherzerstörer Destroyer classes. The only thing constraining this project is a distinct lack of hulls to place the turrets onto, which has slowly begun to have been solved in recent years.

National Goals :
Figure out what in the hell is going on
Secure Pan-Prussian supremacy over Europe
Try not to die

History : Adolf Hitler's fall from grace was spectacular for how shocking it was. Yet for those in Germany at the time, it was painfully obvious that something big was about to happen. Yet when they woke up from their sleepy beds on July 2nd, 1934, got their cup of coffee, avoided tripping over their home-shackeled steps and the such, when their radios blared to life, it was not the rough, meaty voice of their beloved leader, instead, it was a strange and alien voice. Still german through and through, but with a distinct...distance from himself. As if the man was a few steps too far away from the microphone. The Whispy paragraphs and sentences blended to one another as he spoke with such surpreme excellence, always with a look of disdain on his face if anyone could see the man in the studio.

"Citizens of the Riech. Do not fret. Order will be restored to Germany. I...deeply regret to inform all of you listening right now that the Führer..is dead. The traitorous filth have been apprehended. I name to you a list of the vermin's names. Eva Braun. Albert Speer. Ernst Röhm. Rudolf Hess. Even dear President Paul von Hindenberg! The conspiracy went all the way to the top! Martial law is declared throughout the Reich. I repeat, never fear, for I, General-President Fredrich Paulus, am here!"

The German national anthem played following this message, and Germany was never the same after that. Von Paulus moved quickly to secure the assistance of the army following the Führer's death. Several backroom deals and blank cheques later and he had managed to reorganize the nation. The National Socialist German Worker's Party was disbanded along with the Riechstag and Justice Departments. The Greater German Riech was officially disbanded on August 21st, 1934. In it's place was the establishment of The Greater Prussian Volksrepublic of Germany.

The real victims of Hitler's death were the tens of thousands of perceived "counter-revolutionary rats" that had cowardly inflicted a blow against National Socialism. A wide-sweeping purge was conducted on almost every sector of life. German factory owners had their businesses shut down and their workers ordered or paid to go on strike, only for then for some bloke with a fat stack of Riechsmarks to hire some army goons to "clean up" those striking workers, leading to more blood being spilt on the streets of every major Prussian City. Die-hard fanatical Nazis were rounded up and put in camps to "re-educate them" on the basics of Marxism-Leninism with Prussian Characteristics.

The state soon entertained historical legitimacy from the Prussians, with generals such as Schanhorst, Gniseneau, Blucher, Von Moltke and Bismarck all being worshiped both as gods and as political titans and "elder statesmen" of the rabid national militarism of the self-declared successor of the Prussians and even Knights of the Grand Teutons of the 1400s.

It only makes sense that if you've got this much militarism everywhere, you find a...weaker neighbor to construct it on. That neighbor was the Dutch. Why? Von Paulus didn't really know and he didn't really care, he just heard that they had COLONIES. The fuck?! The Soldier's Worker's must rise up against such degenerate actions such as "looting some shitty island". So he calls up his commanders and rants for a solid three days straight against the Dutch. He goes into expletive ridden tirades against their history, culture, funny guns and military incompetence.

Then he orders a full scale invasion on April 1, 1937. In spite of the Netherlands being guaranteed by the Irish, Qing Dynasty and the Soviet Empire under the People's Tsar, the invasion went very well. Unfortunately, then the French fucks got involved and began to bomb the shit out of Germany. No deal... just cut off their supply lines to Russia by steamrolling a quarter of a million men into the Austrian Khannate. Kublai Khan Franz Ferdinand did put up one hell of a fight, but their ethnic bitching was too fragile. In spite of a four year invasion, he had done it. So then Von Paulus goes to the Nicholas and says "hey, I like you, you like me, let's end this war." So he says: "Fuck off and eat shit." So Von Paulus decides to invade the Soviet Union on December 1st, 1942. It went pretty well until June of 1943, when they got to a small town called Stalingrad. Von Paulus decides to go there personally and gets frozen by November in the city.

After that clusterfuck, Von Paulus sets his sites on Leningrad, and pitches some of the german army on a full scale offensive to take the city. The operation gets bogged down because winter again and von Paulus is forced to retreat, blowing up anything valuable in the wake of it's failure. The Soviets then push relentlessly, driving the Germans directly back across most of Eastern Europe. In December of 1944 a last ditch offensive was launched to reclaim Prussia, which saw limited success until being forced back by fierce soviet counterattacks by January of 1945. The official history of the Volksrepublik was extinguished when the Soviets reached Wilhelmshaven, which was the scene of the most brutal street to street fighting of the entire war. Sooner or later they got closer to Von Paulus's command tank, with him starting to freak out. They got closer and closer until... a bright light engulfed the sky and some weird shit happened next...
