what is the strenght of my mullitary

I don't know. I guess you have a big one as you're the only hindu nation so many hindus will join you as their last hope. What I don't know is the technology level of your army and how rich your nation is. If its rich enough are you able to buy foreign weapons is your ilitary quite strong I guess. Its in any case big.

[Diliath]

I've looked and before the war had india a modern army and received it weapons from the US, Russia and Israel so in case you osses much of the former indian weaponry do you control a strong military.

Short but its Ok except a few points. Persia and Russia will be enemies so it's better when you say that Persia invaded Pakistan and Russia took northern Pakistan from Persia and the Romanian territories of Russia are taken by force instead of peaceful occupation, this creates war between Russia and Romania. I also want to ask to add war with Georgia in the history. I'm glad you added the American and NATO pressure in the history.

-Recent history of Greece
When the economic crisis of 2009-2016 ended started a new era of power for greece. AS only western nation where both Russia and the NATO nations were welcome became Greece a new economic power. The population of the cities started to grow fast and many treaties with the EU and RUssia followed. Supported by both Russia and the US decided Greece to attack its ancient enemy: Turkey. Together with Cyprus, Armenia and Kurdish and Armenian Cilician rebels opened Greece the attack on Turkey. With modern european weapons and with Russian naval help in the black sea was Turkey, although it showed great resistance, defeated. Cilicia became independent, Byzantium and Antioch were refounded and Armenia, Cyprus and Greece received big parts of Turkey. The greeks started then to expel all Turks from western Turkey. Everyone that resisted was shot. After that emigrated thousands of greeks to west-Turkey. The population and ground of Greece was now so big that many cities demanded more rights and in 2018 became Greece a federation. Together with Antioch, Cyprus and Byzantium formed Greece a new military and economic EU-like alliance. The HL( hellenic league). Greece also established friendly relations with Bulgaria, Cilicia and Armenia.

-Recent history of Antioch
When Turkey was defeated by Greece, Armenia and Cyprus was Cilicia refounded. An armenian nation. South of that was, however, another art of Turkey. After the warwas this outpost conquered by Cyprus. After seeing that the old city of Antioch was florating again after groups of Cypriots and Armenians settled there after the Turks were expelled saw both Greece and Cyprus business in the outpost. Hundred of thousands of Greeks and Cypriots emigrated to Antioch and the surrounding lands. THey were soon followed by Armenians and by refugees from Syria. In 2017 declared Cyprus to make the florating land independent. The new epublic was now led by greeks and Cypriots from old noble families. Because the nation was very religious( mostly greek-orthodox) had the Patriarch of the grrek-orthodox church much power in the city. This created a power struggle between the aristocrats and the patriarch that's even now going on.
In the international world is Antioch not high regarded. Although its a rich nation with high technology isn't it a political or mlitary power. Antioch joined he HL and has also an alliance with Cilicia. Through thei christian faith has Antioch much trade connections with western nations, but war with the closest eastern nations. Aeppo is the main enemy of Antioch. It's economically less powerful than Antioch and Antioch has a better equipped army. But the army of Aleppo is bigger and supported by IS. Because both nations have the same strength haven't they both been able to defeat eachother but border disputes happen constantly ad both seek help from their allies as its clear that war is coming to them. Another conflict were Antioch is involved in is the war against Hezbollah. When Hezbollah was having succes in its war against the christian government of Lebanon asked the chrstian militias help from Antioch. Together with the militias and moderated muslims pushed Antioch Hezbllah to the south. At the same moment attacked Israel the area that was under control of Hezbollah. When Hezbollah went underground again after they'd many losses refused Israel to give the occupied territories back to Lebanon. Free Lebanon and Antioch decided at that moment to unite their forces so that they could remain independent. This meant that northern Lebanon joined Antioch. Antioch is also at war with IS, but because IS is also at war with Armenia, Kurdistan, Arabia and Persia do they send not many soldiers to Antioch so Antioch has had not much trouble from IS. A large scale attack from IS would be devastating for Antioch, however.

Here are the histories of both Anticoch and Greece. Arabia, Turkey and Byzantium will follow. If anyone else wants me to write the history can he post that here. Otherwise would I like to write oe yourself and to post that here so we'll have a history for every participating nation when the IC gets up.

History from Byzantium and Turkey. The history from Arabia will follow in a few hours.

-Recent history of Turkey

After Turkey was defeated in 2016 was Turkey considered weak by its neighbours. But although the Turkish army was weakened and many lands were lost were the turks still a nation of meaning. Directly after the war demanded the people of Turkey a strong leader and an end to the democracy. This man was general Mehmet. Mehmet relatively young when he became general, but the showed to be a capable ruler and commander. He prevented the Cypriots from invading the Turkish mainland in the war of 2016. He also kept the city of Adana against a enormous greek/cypriot/armenian/cilician force. He only gave the city up because the government wanted peace. When the people wanted a single, strong leader stepped Mehmet forward. Backed by his army and most of the people committed he a succesful coup. This resulted in the establishing of the new Turkish sultanate. Instead of making it a Ottoman-like sultanate had Mehmet and his government ideas for a secular state. To show that called Mehmet himself Mehmet I instead of continuing the Ottoman line by calling himself Mehmet VII. Mehmet ruled a nationalistic nation. Under Mehmet came Turkey out of the economic depression that followed after the war. Mehmet also rebuilded the army. He imported weapons from non-european nations and he led propaganda for the military. THe population of Turkey had not suffered very much because most Turks that lived in the now by other nations occupied ground had fled towards free Turkey. Although Mehmet had removed all religious influence from the government has he made contact with Aleppo and IS that are the only possible allies for Turkey at the moment. Mehmet knows his nation is still strong and he prepares to make Turkey as strong as it once was. It is clear that Mehmet's Turkey is a rising star.

-Recent history of Byzantium

When Turkey was defeated in 2016 decided the greek government to refound Byzantium. This 'new' nation controls the bosporus and Constantinople. This makes the nation rich. Byzantium is ruled by Emperor Michael X. The greek government decided to make Byzantium a monarchy as propaganda and inspiration to rebuild the old byzantine empire. They chose Michael Iassoros because he was a capable general and ruler. Michael was the man that had commanded the Greek army over the Bosporus and he was the man that had convinced the greek government to make byzantium independent. They also chose him because he was young, religious and because he came from an old noble family. When Michael became emperor showed he the ambition to create a byzantine-like realm. To do this started he to draw as many Byzantium-inspired greeks to Byzantium. Then expelled he all arabs and Turks from Byzantium with help of the greek army. Many call this action genocide as hundreds of thousands turks died. Michael continued by making all mosques churches again. He also made the patriarch of Constantinople an important person again. He appointed greek nobles on important positions. In the beginning of 2017, when his nation was getting normal( it was now totally inhabited again and the genocide had ended as all turks were gone. And the government was now functioning) started Michael two programs, one to make Byzantium economically and military strong and one to make his nation a center of byzantine culture. Both plans worked suprisingly good. Byzantium became an important trade center again through its position on the Bosporus. Many skilled and well-educated greeks inhabited Byzantium so the economy was promising. Many international trade treaties further increased it. THe military became strong through much weapon trade with Russia and the western nations what brought Byzantium the possession of modern weapons. AS the citizens of Byzantium are very nationalistic has the military never a shortage of soldiers and these soldiers are trained by veterans from the greek army. Michael even created a succesful royal officers academy. The plan that concerned the improvement of the byzantine culture was possibly even a bigger succes. Artists and architects from al over greece and Byzantium helped to help the government with this plan. Soon rose libraries, artworks and churches in byzantine style everywhere in Byzantium. Adrianople and Constantinople were centers of byzantine culture again, full of churches, bathhouses and other byzantine buildings.
Internationally is Byzantium also succesful. It has joined the EU and the HL and it has good relations with many western nations. It's also an ally and trade partner of Russia. THe most prominent enemies from Byzantium are Turkey and Bulgaria. The byzantines hate Bulgaria through their socialist policies and the history shows only war between Bulgaria and the old Byzantium. Although war isn't yet likely to hapen is it cear that Michael is willing to fight against Bulgaria and Turkey.

-Recent history of Arabia
Arabia is builded up out of all arabian nations on the arabian peninsula. In 2015 died the arabian king Abdullah al-Saud. He was replaced by his brother Salman al-Saud. Salman showed, however, to be a weak leader. The important bin Abdulaziz family was getting popular istead of the al-Saud's. In Februari 2016 stormed bin Abdulaziz loyalists Riyadh. They killed most of the members of the al-Saud family. The leader of the bin Abdulaziz family, Salman was accepted as king after three months of rebellions against his new rule. He is a defender of the sunni islam and gives the sunni imams much influence in the country. When he heard of the coup of Shia Houthi rebels in Jemen did he decide to take control of the nation. THe Houthi army was no match for the mighty arabian army and in a few weeks was Jemen under the control of Salman. When sultan Qaboos of Oman died decided Salman, who had a bit of Omani royal blood to take action in Oman. Again went the arabian army to foreign territory to take control of other land. With help from his loyalists in Oman took Salman also ower in Oman. After he had too subjugated Qatar (without reason)in a bloody war decided the UAE and Bahrein to join Salman's Arabia. Under Salman became Arabia internationally known as very strong. THe arabian economy and army had already been strong for some decads but now was that shown to the international community. King Salman established better relations with the US and Europe. And closer to home made he friendship with the Al-Assad regime in Damascus. 2017 and 18 were years of war for Arabia. THe first big conflict was the war with Israel. When Isael ended all forces of Palestinian indeendence decided Jordan to attack Israel. The Jordan attack failed. Israeli forces defeated the Jordan army and marched into Jordan. The Jordan king decided to ask help to king Salman. Salman declared that he would of course help Jordan, but he demanded that Jordan would become part of Arabia for its own safety. The king of Jordan saw that this was the only way to keep some of his power and joined Arabia. After this became Jordan the battlefield bbetween two of the most powerful nations of the east. After 4 months of fighting decided both nations that they couldn't defeat eachother and a peace treaty was made and Jordan was divided. Both nations were still ready to invade the other however and a cold war like situation was created. When Iran invaded Iraq and changed it name to Persia started the second bigger conflict for Arabia. The by IS weakened and by the kurds abandoned government of Iraq was easely overthrown. When the persian government heard about the declaration of war from Arabia decided they to invade Arabia's only ally outside of Egypt and Damascus: Kuwait. Kuwait became too divided between Arabia and its enemy and here was also signed a peace treaty between arabia and its enemy after months of bloody fighting because other threats(like IS) were upon both nations. On this border started too a cold war situation. The third and last big conflict for Arabia is the war with IS. Arabia was at war with IS since 2014 but now started IS a massive offensive against both Persia and Arabia. Again a bloody war started for Arabia but this war is still going on. But even after all this wars is Arabia still one of the capable lands in the middle east and its ready for more expansion.

Here's another history. I am planning to get the IC up tomorrow. We miss Israel, China and one of the three african players as imortant nations.
THe african nation is easily solved as in Africa is a war ongoing with on one side Somalia and Sudan and on the other side Ethiopia, but we can make that conflict wait until there's someone to RP with one of them. China will be involved as an enemy of Russia, Tibet and Nepal and as a supporter of Bangladesh to keep the indians out of southeast Asia. This means we'll need a China in time but until it's taken can Gyrenaica RP the China-Russian war while we say that guerilla groups in Tibet with help of their mountain terrain keep the Chinese out of Tibet yet. Israel is a problem however because many will interact with that nation so I will try to find someone to RP as that nation. Despite this facts will I get the IC up tomorrow so we can get started. I hope that more people will join in then so we can fill up the ranks.

Also, no offense, but is English... Er. Your first language?

Oh and is there any way you could make a WORLD map just to say what all Russia has from China?

[Kumbhalgarh]

when will the IC be up?

[Diliath]

I'm working on the starting post now. For Gyrenaica, the border between China is the same except the fact that Mongolia is part of Russia. When the conflict in that area starts will I give you a map. And english isn't my first language. I'll try to write more correct sentencesfrom now on.

Is it alright if I post my history on the IC now? Here it is, in case I'm missing something:

HISTORY OF BULGARIA:

During modern times, Bulgaria was rarely brought up in conversation. It held little real importance, being just a larger state in the Balkans. And indeed, when wars did break out near them, Bulgarians decided to remain neutral for the most part.

The Great Anatolian War is it is known in Bulgaria sparked a great desire in the fledgling nation to fight their old enemies, the Turks, and indeed they did supply some men intone conflict. The most important thing that they did however was supply a large amount of their weak economy to aid forces defeating Turkey.

After this however Bulgaria remains entirely neutral in most affairs. They had a brief period of military improvement followed by major economic issues. Bulgaria almost participated in the war between Romania and Russia, but five extra votes for neutrality prevented this from happening.

Bulgaria however has newly appointed a leader of ambition, but also of realism. It is the fond hope of many in the nation that this individual will solve their crises and allow Bulgaria to become a respected power. But with limited forces and an imploding economy, the nation may soon have to choose between its ideals and its very survival.
