Intro
In the early 2000s, Greater Simbia was a barren, uninhabited place. Then, Lollohian and Ductiberger colonists came along. Lolloh quickly populated the area, introducing an initial group of almost 3 million settlers into the region. Dutciberg, however, had only 16000 settlers in its cities. Lolloh then launched an invasion, successfully taking the Dutciberger lands and incorporating them into Greater Simbia. The population of Simbia expanded, to a total of 20 million settlers. Unhappy with the mainland government, a group of people rebelled, and the insurgency killed 100 Lollohians, 3100 loyal Simbians, and 9800 rebels, as well as 2000 settlers. The insurgency was eventually defeated, but Lolloh eventually granted the colony its independence.
However, this new freedom was short-lived. Riven by ethnic tensions between Lollohians, Dutcibergers, and Simbians (darker-skinned Arabic-speakers), 3rd Colonel Thomas Nigelli led 1500 Dutciberger soldiers in the capital of Theoclesia in a coup against the democratic government, putting him and the Dutcibergers into a position of total political monopoly, immediately passing "Race Codes" to segregate Dutcibergers from Lollohians (2nd Class Citizens) and Simbians (given no rights as citizens). Dutcibergers were only 5% of the population, and controlled only 7% of the militia and 4% of the military.
Now, angry over the discrimination, the country has fallen into chaos as Simbians (70% of the population), Lollohians (25% of the population), and Dutcibergers (5% of the population) have begun fighting each other. While a new Parliament was formed and elections held during minor warfare in the capital, discriminatory election laws and dirty tricks made it so that Lollohians received 85% of Parliamentary seats, despite having only 25% of the population.
The Geography:
Simbia is 90% desert, 10% coastal plain. 95% of the population lives on this coastal plain, location of the major cities. Simbia is divided into 3 provinces, 4 states, and 2 territories. Upper Peninsula Province forms the peninsula defining northern Simbia, and has a population of 3 million, 33% Dutciberger. Lower Simbia is a mainly coastal province in the lower part of the country, and is 60% Lollohian. Finally, Upper Coastal is on the northern coast of the upper part of Simbia, and is about 33% Lollohian. Goldville State controls the eastern and northern coasts of lower Simbia, while Blacktown control the remaining coastline. Finally, Comton, the smallest division, controls some desert area off the coast. All of these states are almost completely Simbian, and each have a population of 2 million each. Northern Territory controls the rest of the desert area in upper Simbia, while Southern Territory controls the area in the south. Both territories have 50,000 people each, mostly Simbian.

They're strong and loyal, though. They have no equipment except for G3A3s and 30 Yak52s, which they use for reconnaissance. Lead by President of Greater Simbia Fillip Timmin. They control the same area as the government does, acting in a law-enforcement and military role.
Your Job: You pick a faction and support it throughout the war. Just state which faction you are joining and how many troops you are sending. I am limiting the amount of troops you can send to 40,000 soldiers, not including logistics and such. Be realistic and play by the rules. Either than that, I can only say have fun!
