OOC Thread/IC Thread

Rules: No god-modding, no meta-gaming. Moderators are your oppressive overlords. Their word is law. No shitty one liner posts. We want some effort and maybe even a little quality.
Historical conditions: Revisionist history begins at the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 A.D. Christianity split in 1054 but united again at the council of Florence in 1425 A.D. Protestant reformation begins somewhere(?) in 1620. When in doubt assume that history occurred as it did historically. History events will be shaped around main players histories (e.g Spain conquers Portugal so history of NPC nations will reflect this). Start date is December 1938.

Total Population: 84,600,000
Government type: Semi-constitutional monarchy
Government description: The government formally has a constitution which formally defines the King as the head of state and formally delegates the power to him. The King is forced to balance the interests of different factions in the Cortez, which is a bi-cameral non-elected body which is separated into an aristocratic and plebian branch. Each of these branches formally exist to redress their concerns to the King, who ultimately decides on courses of action. The Cortez’s existence is constitutionally guaranteed; however, the Cortez does not make law, this is a power reserved for the King only.

The nation is divided into separate “counties” according to historical borders which are ruled by loyal governors of aristocratic blood or the royal family. These counties are then divided into provinces which are handed to loyal servants of the state and petty nobility. The aristocracy operates under the principle that nobles oblige, therefore service to the King (and in practice, the state) is mandatory. Most of the bureaucracy is staffed by nobles and clergy, and their wealth is primarily derived from this service, ensuring their loyalty.
Nations leader(s): Jaime IV de Borbón
Leader(s) description and history: Full name: Jaime Leopoldo Isabelino Enrique Alejandro Alberto Alfonso Víctor Acacio Pedro Pablo María de Borbón y Battenberg Male, 30 years old. Back hair, brown eyes. Jaime is a tall, slender man with a deep-set pair of eyes and a well fitted nose. He has a firm but rounded chin and dawns a picador mustache above his plump lips. He became king after he was named heir the previous king and his relative Alfonso XIII who died childless. Prior to his ascension to the throne, Jaime had made a career in the army and had made the rank of Colonel at a remarkably young age. When he was 23, he had made the rank of captain due to his bravery during the campaign to pacify Moroccan tribes in the Atlas Mountains. As a result of his injuries during that battle, he lost most of his hearing in his left ear. When he was named heir in 1936, he could take a post in Madrid where he took the throne the same year just a few months later. Although he had been outwardly reluctant to take the throne, he knew that this was an incredible stroke of fortune. His ascension had caused some controversy, mainly since many of the old king’s supporters had expected Jaime’s distant cousin Prince Xavier to take the throne. As a result, the king has spent most of his young reign finding allies and trying to attend to the needs of the state.
State religion: Roman Catholicism
Main political parties/political factions: The nation is divided traditionally between the plebeians and aristocrats. This division is formally represented in the Cortez, where both factions is represented in their own respective branch.
Political beliefs: Reactionary Catholic monarchy. Mixes principles of Prussian cameralism, legal formalism, and culturally Catholic traditional ideas.
Political agenda (goals and issues your nation must resolve): Keep the empire together, ensure order and stability, promote freedom of the seas, protect Catholic nations of Europe, keep control of the western Mediterranean.

Alignment: Faction(?)
Military Focus: Navy
Army Size: ~1,150,000
Army Description:
The Spanish Army is tasked with the protection of the empires territories and works in tandem with the Spanish Navy to achieve this goal. The land forces are divided into two distinct sections: The Spanish Royal Army (Ejército Real Español) and the Spanish Foreign Army (Ejército Extranjero Español). The Spanish Royal Army is responsible for conventional warfare operations in Europe and its overseas non-colonial territories, as well as the North African states.
Navy Size: 231 Warships
Navy Description: The Spanish Navy is tasked with protecting the empire and its trade and spends most of its time patrolling sea routes and supporting army operations in the colonies. The Spanish Navy has a good number of smaller vessels for traditional escort and raiding operations, as well as a sizable capital ship fleet to deal with conventional naval engagements.
Military weaknesses: The Spanish Army receives less attention from the government as it is geographically isolated from most of Europe and a sizable portion of its ranks are stationed overseas and are staffed of mainly colonial troops. The Spanish Navy is well equipped to handle conventional naval engagements but is poorly prepared to deal with submarine warfare. The Spanish submarine fleet is less advanced than that of its neighbors.

Economy type (Industrialized, industrializing, agricultural, primitive): Industrialized
Economic description: The Spanish economy is primarily centered on manufacturing with heavy industry primarily centered in the Basque region and Catalonia. Light industry exists in Madrid and Asturias, with southern and western Spain largely based on resource extraction and agriculture. The Caribbean is focused on fishing and Tobacco but is highly developed. Iberia is highly developed, with high amounts of infrastructure across the country. The colonies are poorly developed, and are ruled by light colonial governments, primarily focused on integrating them into the Empire.

The 1809 Swedish Instrument of Government made the king both head of state and head of government, and ministers were solely responsible to him. On 3 march 1865, the Constitution of the Nordic Empire was proclaimed. the Riksdag was reconstituted as a bicameral legislature, consisting of Första kammaren or the First Chamber, with 155 members and Andra kammaren or the Second Chamber with 381 members. The First Chamber was indirectly elected by county and city councilors, while the Second Chamber was directly elected by universal suffrage (men and women).

Population (primary ):

• Bohemia: 10.974.990
• Slovakia: 4.130.680
• Hungary: 8.680.000
• Transylvania: 5.546.310
• Austria: 6.510.000
• Illyria: 8.328.020

Population (Secondary ): N/A

Total Population: 44,17 Million

Government type: Federal Republic
Government description: The Danube Federation consists out of multiple states forming a common confederation. Each state has its own, wildly varying government. Fascist forces toppled the young Republics of Bohemia and Slovakia while the Austrian Republic perseveres albeit only barely. In Illyria the Republic finds itself threatened by the fascist Ustaša but still manages to persevere. In Hungary the former, hungarian-born Bohemian Admiral Horthy has assumed power as regent to a vacant throne as the newly emerged Kingdom of Hungary struggles to come to terms with its current borders within the Federation. In Transylvania ethnic tensions between Hungarians, Romanians and Germans remain high, forcing the newly recreated Grand Principality of Transylvania to instate martial law and protect its new constitutional monarchy at all costs.

The Federal Republic is ruled jointly by two different bodies. One of them being the Grand Assembly, a body of elected individuals from each of the member states of the Federation with the ability to pass legislature concerning ALL states of the Federation. The deputies of this Grand Assembly are elected in as free and fair elections as their host states allow and have terms lasting 4 years. They convene in Budapest, the new de-facto capital of the Federation due to its central location and relative political stability.

The other body ruling the Federal Republic is the Grand Council which consists out of the state leaders of the 6 states forming the Federation. These state leaders regularly convene in different locations in the Federation where they must discuss and either accept or veto the Grand Assembly's legislative iniatives, keeping the meddling of the Federation in their state affairs to a minimum.

Nations leader(s):

• Bohemia: Supreme Leader Jan Rys
• Slovakia: President Jozef Tiso
• Austria: Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg
• Hungary: Regent Miklós Horthy
• Illyria: Chancellor Josip Broz Tito
• Transylvania: Grand Princess Elizabeth II Báthory

Leader(s) description :

• Jan Rys is an extremist among extremists, his Vlajka party having used the end of Bohemian rule over the Danubian lands to garner wide support among the Czech population. He is emotional and short tempered, rarely rational and sees the great enemies of Bohemia's greatness and the true reasons for their defeat and fall from gace in Jews and Nachfolgians.
• Jozef Tiso is a man of opportunity. Having long championed the goal of Slovakian Independence, he found himself in a perfect position to assume leadership over the newly emerged Slovak Republic after the Great War, using his prestige as well as the Bohemian bogeyman and the large hungarian minorities to cement his rule over the state and erode democratic institutions, making him practically a president for life.
• Kurt Schuschnigg is a man of strict discipline and principles, defending the newly acquired austrian independence after so many centuries of Bohemian overlordship. Yet there are powerful forces trying to rip his nation apart once more and despite his principles, Schuschnigg grows tired for he knows he cannot keep the fight against his rivals and the enemies of the republic going forever, for it will tear him and his nation apart.
• Miklós Horthy is an old, entrenched elite. Having grown up privileged and noble during the times of the Empire and having been an accomplished Admiral, successfully evacuating the navy to Italy after the capitulation of the Empire and continuing the fight on the seas, the loss of all coast hit him hard yet he felt compelled to return to his people now that they were free once more. Wishing to guide the commoners who lack his privileged vision of the world and his connections, Horthy saw a perfect opportunity within the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic, crushing it with the help of nationalist forces and thus laying the groundwork for the re-establishment of the Hungarian Monarchy...yet he has yet to find a suitable heir to the throne and for that long he will lead as Regent.
• Josip Broz Tito, a man who doesn't even know why he has the post he has. A series of very lucky coincidences and being at the right place at the right time catapulted this once pickpocketer and scammer to the head of one of the most powerful yet also volatile states of the Federation. He constantly fears his death by the hands of the Ustaša and is paranoid beyond belief.
• Elizabeth II Bathory, a beautiful, raven-haired woman who sternly rules over Transylvania. Having risen to power as lately as 1933, following the assassination of her tolerant and democratic father by alleged pro-Romanian terrorists, she has quickly cemented her power over the region and ensured Hungarian dominance. Her schemes and ruthlessness, her readiness to exploit whenever she finds a gap have led to the unsteady constitional monarchy of Transylvania stabilizing in her iron grip.

Army Description and OOB: Each of the member states of the Danube Federation is required to to maintain an own armed force in acceptable condition. The procurement of equipment as well as the training regiment is in this case left up to the states in question, with the quality and Danube troops varying wildly from state to state, Hungarian and Bohemian troops generally coming out on top while poor states such as Slovakia and Illyria are generally in a much worse shape. In case of war these troops are generally put under the control of a joint command staff between all the states, each state being equally represented.

Military weaknesses: Aside from staunchly following doctrines from the last war, the joint command staff being an ineffective joke and some armies being little more than glorified anti-partisan/police forces? Internal issues such as ethnic biases in recruitment or internal spies for parties and terrorist organisations additionally cripple several of the armies.

Economy Info:
Economy type: Industrializing
Economic description: The heavy industry of the Danube Federation is heavily centered around the regions of Bohemia, Vienna and Budapest, which are fueled by coal extracted from multiple smaller coal fields all across the Federation. Smaller economic centers exist in the form of Bratislava, Kosice, Graz, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Timisoara, Cluj and Brasov.

Lowlands such as the Pannonian Basin and Moravia are in heavy agricultural use, with a vast majority of the Kingdom of Hungary's exports being based in its excellent agricultural industry.

Mountainous areas such as the Alps, the Sudetes, the Dinaric Alps and the Carpathians on the other hand generally see a much lower development due to their geographic difficulties. Agricultural as well as small scale industry is present there but usually not in great strength that would compare to the large cities in the plains.

Generally the State of Bohemia can be considered the most industrialized, with large amounts of manufacturing plants present within its borders. The Kingdom of Hungary is following close after, Budapest being arguably the single biggest economic center of the entire Federation but much of the remaining country being far more agriculturally oriented. Austria follows close after, Vienna being a large economic center, having profitted greatly throughout history through its close proximity to the Bohemian center of power and its location at the Danube. Slovakia comes right after, its position bordering all the Federation's strongest economical powers having led to some trickle down effect, allowing especcially Bratislava to grow considerably. Meanwhile both Illyria and Transylvania remain fairly backwards, mountainous border regions with strong ethnic problems additionally making economic development difficult.

History:

• 1246 - After the Death of the Duke of Austria in battle against the King of Hungary, succession crisis ensues in lower Austria. Wenceslaus I begins his attempts to take the Austrian lands for the Bohemian crown, using marriage, bribery, trickery and sheer military force to gain a solid foothold. Still, the acquisition turns out difficult, with frequent rebellions and interventions from the German Princes constantly making the territory change hands.
• 1278 - Battle of the Marchfeld. Ottokar II, second son of Wenceslaus I and King of Bohemia finally loses his patience with the Empire as well as Hungarian meddling by Bela IV of Hungary. Assembling an army composed of Bavarian and Polish forces, he marches to meet his german rivals and the Hungarian King. It was the final, deciding battle after 30 years of struggle for lower Austria. As the battle turned against Ottokar, with hidden german reserves hitting his forces in the back, he personally led his own reserves in a desperate bid for victory. Much unlike in the real battle, the Bohemian troops did not think this the beginning of a rout but instead recognized it for the desperate, saving maneuver they needed and fought on as best they could, granting their sovereign the time and ability to ward off the Germans and in the process win the battle, claiming Austria for the Bohemian Crown for good. However, Ottokar II was mortally wounded and perished only two weeks after the battle.
• 1291 - The Duchy of Krakow, guaranteeing Overlordship of Poland, is ceded to Wenceslaus II of Bohemia.
• 1296 - Wenceslaus II assumes Overlordship of Poland.
• 1300 - Wenceslaus II crowns himself King of Poland.
• 1301 - Andrew III of Hungary died, ending the male Arpad line. With Wencelaus II's son Wenceslaus III betrothed to Andrew III's only daughter, he claims the throne in the name of his son, albeit his claim iss difficult to press due to the fracturing of Hungary and the work of strong opposing lords in the area.
• 1304 - Wenceslaus II invades Hungary in support of his son, Wenceslaus III. Using the large supply of wealth and silver brought from the newly discovered silver mine of Kutna Hora, Wenceslaus II manages to assemble a strong force and cements his son's claim to the Hungarian throne with a harsh punitive expedition into eastern Hungary, cowing the Hungarian nobles for the moment.
• 1305 - Władysław I Łokietek, a polish noble and troublemaker who had been exiled from Poland by Wenceslaus, returned to Poland with an army of supporters. Likely having hidden in Hungary untill Wenceslaus II came there to eliminate the rebellious elements of the Bohemian realm, he was now out in the open and defying the Bohemians in Poland, taking multiple duchies from them in the process.

• 1307 - Wladyslaw I and Wenceslaus II face off in the Battle of Lublin, their armies clashing. Wladyslaw has the numbers advantage, fielding more than thrice the army Wenceslaus does. However, as the chroniclers say, Wladyslaw's army consisted of common, peasant rabble while Wenceslaus II fielded heavy cavalry which proceeded to smash the Polish troops to pieces. Wladyslaw himself was impaled on the lance of a Bohemian Knight during a charge. Thus the Bohemian rule of Poland was cemented. Wenceslaus II was later assassinated during victory celebrations. But alas, the victory came at far greater cost than merely Wenceslaus II's life for the Hungarian lands once again rose up in revolt and Wenceslaus was forced out into Vienna.
• 1308 - The weak Wenceslaus III, former King of Hungary, assumes the thrones of Bohemia and Poland.

• 1332 - Factual end of the Bohemian - Teutonic War. No peace treaty is signed nor the dispute settled, the Teutonic Order and the Catholic Curia demanding of King John that he prove his committment to Catholicism and peace among christian brothers, by joining the Teutonic Order in crusading operations.

His men said: 'Sir, we cannot tell; we think he be fighting.' Then he said: 'Sirs, ye are my men, my companions and friends in this journey: I require you bring me so far forward, that I may strike one stroke with my sword.' They said they would do his commandment, and to the intent that they should not lose him in the press, they tied all their reins of their bridles each to other and set the king before to accomplish his desire, and so they went on their enemies. The lord Charles of Bohemia his son, who wrote himself king of Almaine and bare the arms, he came in good order to the battle; but when he saw that the matter went awry on their party, he departed, I cannot tell you which way. The king his father was so far forward that he strake a stroke with his sword, yea and more than four, and fought valiantly and so did his company; and they adventured themselves so forward, that they were there all slain, and the next day they were found in the place about the king, and all their horses tied each to other.
• 1346 - Charles IV of Luxembourg assumes the throne of Bohemia. He centralizes the Bohemian realm, incorporating all of Moravia, Lusatia, Silesia and Austria directly into the Bohemian Kingdom as well as crushing the nobility and centralizing power with himself.

It kicks off a civil war between Bohuslav I's supporters as well as the rightfully elected King Sigismund III's supporters, with interventions from the Nachfolgians, Germans and Ottomans kicking in as well. During this time of conflict the lines upon which the war was initially declared are increasingly blurred untill few still know what exactly the war was about.
• 1632 - King Sigismund III prerishes in the Siege of Prague, leaving Bohuslav I as the sole remaining pretender and uniter of the Kingdom.

The Bohemian Kingdom is barely still functioning but Vilem Albrecht I is unwilling to concede defeat, advisor's suspecting senility or something in the King's continued readiness to wage this war.
• 1688 - Vilem Albrecht I passes peacefully in his sleep. Jan František I succeeds him on the throne and immediately sues for peace, conceding complete military defeat. He among others agrees to stomp out any flickering of the Hussite faith, the initial propagators of this war, as well as agrees to pay immense war reparations, cede much of Hungary, break all standing treaties, alliances and marriages and prostrate himself before the Ottoman Sultan. The Pope demands the same later on and Jan Frantisek I, incapable of putting up any resistance, prostrates himself before them as well.
• 1700 - With the war over, Jan Frantisek I is forced to engage in large scale reorganisations of the country. A large mass of unemployed soldiers who knew nothing but war and found no more employment were also now running rampant across the country, raiding and pillaging and forcing Jan Frantisek I to engage in lengthy campaigns of annihilation against these brigands. To do so, he is first forced to raise and create a sizeable, standing, professional force to deal with the brigands and deserters and scour the lands clean of them, laying the groundwork for the modern army of the newly created Bohemian Empire.
• 1716 - With the Bohemian Empire secured, Jan Frantisek I turns his eyes southward, the vile Ottoman Empire still holding onto the Kingdom of Hungary.

• 1878 - Romania gains independence but a Russian invasion and swift annexation of Galicia-Wolhynia ensures that the new Romanian state isn't bound to the Bohemian Empire as a puppet.
• 1912 - First Balkan War, a large scale Balkan Insurrection, funded by the Bohemians, breaks out in the Ottoman Empire. The so called Balkan League is however crushed decisively by Ottoman forces, setting back Bohemian influence on the Balkans.

War breaks out between the Bohemian Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
• 1917 - With the conclusion of the war against the Russians, Nachfolgia declares war on the Bohemian Empire, breaking the stalemate in the Balkans by invading across the virtually nearly undefended border, occupying Prague and Vienna within weeks.

• 1919 Second Treaty of Belgrade. The Bohemian Empire is forced to recognize the emerging new Balkan states as well as forced to cede the Vojvodina and the West Banat to the new Serbian state. The Treaty of Zara also cedes South Tyrol as well as virtually the entire Bohemian Coast to Italy in recognition for its "aid" during the war. The Emperor abdicates right after the treaties are signed, throwing Bohemian politics into turmoil. The Kingdom of Hungary immediately devolves into a Soviet Republic, prompting a Romanian invasion of Transylvania. Czechoslovakia is formed from the northern parts of the Bohemian Empire...before getting invaded by nationalist elements of the Soviet Republic of Hungary. Austria and Illyria endure Nachfolgian and Italian occupation to ensure peace and stability.

A peace is forced with Romania, Transylvania being cut from the Kingdom of Hungary, to remain its own, autonomous Grand Principality once again within whatever Bohemian state would crop up.
• 1923 - years of guerilla warfare between nationalist Austrian elements and Nachfolgian occupation forces culminate in the Salzburg uprising, led by the Second Balkan War Veteran Adolf Hitler. While Nachfolgian forces brutally squash the uprising, Hitler manages to escape and Nachfolgian authorities realize that continued occupation would not yield anything, with Nachfolgian forces pulling out soon after. The Treaty of Innsbruck, signed by Austrian, Italian and Nachfolgian representatives, demilitarizes Austria for the next 10 years. Italy and Illyrian representatives end up signing the Treaty of Zagreb as well, confirming the retreat of Italian forces from Illyria as well as the establishment of a puppet government of primarily Croat nationalists.
• 1924 - Shortly after the Italian withdrawal, war breaks out in Illyria as the left behind Croat nationalist government attempts to purge the muslim Bosniak population. Hungarian forces invade shortly after, putting an end to the Croat regime and ensuring peace and democracy by force of arms, Horthy playing a careful game, not annexing Croatia back into Hungary and trying to seem the good guy on the international scene.
• 1925 - Creation of the Danube Federation. In the face of outside threats (Romanians, Nachfolgians, Serbians) as well as unjustly held territory (Italians), the states see the need to band together closer once more. However, none want to give up their independence and as such only a confederation is agreed upon in the Treaty of Budapest.
• 1926 - National Fascist Community (NOF) assumes power in Bohemia through wildly revanchist, anti-semitic, anti-Nachfolgian and militarist posturing.
• 1928 - During a purging of weak elements in Bohemia, eliminating the NOF and seeing the rise of the Vlajka, Slovakia breaks away from the Czechoslovak state, seeking its own future, away from Czech supremacists. Meanwhile the Vlajka begins reviving a new version of Hussitism, feeding on widespread public hatred and romanticized perceptions of the past to create a religion catering to their needs, the religion quickly spreading to the masses again.
• 1930 - The young Slovak Democracy falls in the face of Jozef Tiso's fearmongering of Czech and Hungarian ambitions on Slovakia.
• 1933 - The Grand Prince of Transylvania is assassinated. In the wake of this attack, attributed to Romanian nationalists, his daughter, Elizabeth II Báthory, assumes power and immediately installs a authoritarian, military dictatorship under her rule, basing herself on well armed hungarian nationalist groups in the country and wiping away the constitunional, federal, democratic, monarchic system her father had put in place. Meanwhile in Austria the National Socialist Workers' Party under the leadership of one Adolf Hitler starts rising out of the woodwork, forcing the democratic forces of Chancellor Schuschnigg to engage in a quasi undemocratic system, blocking further elections to ensure the National Socialists don't gain more power. Meanwhile in Illyria, Ustasha terrorism is picking up once more, especcially in the Italian annexed Dalmatian territories but also in Bosnia and Slovenia, the Croatian nationalists seeking to establish their Greater Croatia over the blood of all non-Croatians.

The Hetmanate

Population (primary ): ~26 million

Government structure: Hetmanate (de facto military dictatorship)
Government description:
Ukraine is dominated by what is essentially a quasi-military dictatorship bordering pseudo-monarchy, with Skoropadsky's ambitions for a hereditary rule with all the trappings of a European-style monarchy an open secret. As Hetman of Ukraine, Pavlo Skoropadsky has assumed a number of prestigious roles. By law, Skoropadsky is the Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, the cultural head of Ukraine, and Ukraine’s top legislator. While technically an elected position, Skoropadsky gets to enjoy the role of Hetman until either his resignation or death. While Ukrainian law allows for the impeachment of an elected Hetman, the sheer number of loyalists Skoropadsky has packed the courts and the Rada with will certainly not allow for that.

Empire capital: Kyiv (Київ)

Pavlo Skoropadsky (1918)

Nations leader(s): Pavlo Skoropadsky
Leader(s) description : Pavlo Petrovich Skoropadskyi (3 May 1873-) is a Ukrainian aristocrat, decorated Imperial Russian Army general of Cossack descent and the current Hetman of Ukraine. Pavlo Skoropadsky traces his heritage and legitimacy as Hetman of Ukraine to Ivan Skoropadsky, the 18th century Hetman of the Zaporizhian Cossack Host.

Main political parties/political factions: The official party of Ukraine is the Soiuz Hetmantsiv Derzhavnykiv (SHD), or United Hetman Organization. The SHD was established by Skoropadsky shortly after his ascension to power and revolves around him entirely. Loyalty to the SHD and Skoropadsky is often rewarded handsomely and is taken into consideration in the military, courts, legislature, and even in business.

However, some dissent still lies in the SHD itself. Many believe the powers of the Hetman to be too absolute, and have begun to push for minor democratic reforms while still trying their best to toe the party line. While these SHD reformers would never try to challenge the rule of Skoropadsky himself, many wish to open up more local elections and lift restrictions on other political parties.

Political beliefs: Cossackism
Political agenda (goals and issues your nation must resolve): determine the political future of the nation. Liberate the Don Cossacks and Kuban cossacks. Form a confederation.

Military Info:
Alignment: Faction(?)
Military Focus: Land army
Army Size:The Hetmanate Army consists of 29 infantry divisions (~500.000 men), and 5 cavalry divisions (~30.000 men).
Army Description and OOB:An average Ukrainian infantry division consisted of 16,492 soldiers. The average Ukrainian infantry division had 76 cars and trucks and 6,939 horses. Nachfolgians and Nords has spent a considerable amount of time meticulously grooming the Armed Forces of the Ukrainian State (Zbroyni Syly Ukrayinskoyi Derzhavy or ZSUD) with the goal of modernizing it. Following the establishment of the ZSUD, the Nachfolgian Empire began to flood the nation with Nachfolgian-made equipment. Rifles, trucks, and even Nachfolgian-produced tanks began to replace the Russian and Austrian equipment originally used by the rag-tag forces of the ZSUD. Now, by the mid-1930s, The Hetmanate is producing its own rifles, trucks, and even tanks.
Air force size: The Ukrainian Air Force was already established in 1917 by Kuban military officer Viktor Pavlenko, and Kiev had been home to various prototype plane manufacturers since the early 1900s. Currently, the Ukrainian Air Force consists of mostly obsolete aircraft: ~250 fighters, ~200 light bombers, and ~100 medium bombers, but Skoropadsky has shown an interest in its expansion with the support of Nachfolgian aviation specialists.
Navy Size & Description: The Ukrainian Navy, stationed in Odessa, consists mainly of old and outdated Russian ships. It comprises one battleship, one heavy cruiser, three light cruisers, four destroyers, four torpedo boats, and five submarines and finds itself mostly in coast guard duties so as not to break the gentleman's agreement with the Ottomans.
Military weaknesses: Large Borders to cover. Flat country, besides the natural border of the Dniepr. Some steppes with no proper supply lines, which is also an advantage. Monstrous neighbor.
Economy Info:
Economy type (Industrialized, industrializing, agricultural, primitive): Agrarian.
Economic Description: Despite the massive agricultural boom, industry in Ukraine still struggled. While some prospective Nachfolgian businessmen gladly built factories in cities such as Kyiv and Odessa, the majority of the nation remained stuck in a perpetual agrarian state. The majority of the nation worked as farmers, and those not lucky enough to own their own land worked the land of others. However, some industrious Nachfolgian have begun to write up even more ambitious plans for industrialization, plans many in Ukraine are eager to copy. By 1930, the Ukrainian State was producing enough food to feed the Northern economic block.
However, the more Nachfolgia propped up the Hetman, his military, and his landowners; the more animosity was felt by the peasants and workers. Many began to once again support socialist politicians, such as the previously deposed Mykhailo Hrushevsky, Volodymyr Vynnychenko, and Symon Petliura. The Republicans garnered a large powerbase from disgruntled individuals in Western Ukraine, where poverty was much more rampant. Petliura and his Social Democratic USDRP party promised land reform, democratic institutions, and an end to the Nachfolgian domination over the Ukrainian economy. However, in the eyes of the Hetmanate, he was little more than a peasant thug leading on bands of the vulnerable and poor to do his dirty work.

The Kingdom of Lithuania

Population (primary ): ~12.6 million

Government structure: Unitary Constitutional Monarchy
Government description:
Politics in Lithuania swiftly organized along the ethnic lines. Lithuanians barely composed a majority of the population, the rest divided between Belarusians, Poles, Jews, and other ethnicities. They were all granted significant cultural autonomy and immediately started to organize themselves politically. On July 12, 1920, Lithuania signed a peace treaty with the Russian SFSR. He used the strong constitutional Royal prerogatives to promote land reform, education programs, and balance the interests of the various factions within his Kingdom. The laws of free expression allowed a revival of Lithuanian culture - numerous nationalist inclined arts and culture movements began to appear, the Prussian Lithuanian philosopher Vilhelmas Storosta-Vydūnas initiated a revival of the Romuvan faith which had been persecuted under Russian empire rule

Empire capital: Vilnius

Tadeusz Giedroyć in 1930

Nations leader(s): King of Lithuania: Mindaugas II
Leader(s) description : Tadeusz Giedroyć(7 January 1888-) is a Lithuanian noble, from the Dynasty of Giedroyć family. Tadeusz Giedroyć traces his heritage and legitimacy as descendants of Prince Giedrius, a brother of Grand Duke of Lithuania Traidenis.
Main political parties/political factions: The ruling and biggest party in the nation is the Romuvan Democratic Party of Lithuania (Lietuvos romuva demokratų partija, LKDP). Formed from the pro-Northern members of the Council of Lithuania and many Lithuanian intellectuals, the LKDP is a mostly socially conservative party, influenced by both corporatism and Romuvan socialism. The party has been in power since the formation of the country. The current leader is Leonas Bistras, popular amongst the people. Under his administration, Lithuania's economy has grown exponentially, at the expense of undeveloped Belarus.

The main opposition party is the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania (Lietuvos socialdemokratų partija, LSDP). The chairman of the party is Steponas Kairys. The LSDP is a democratic socialist party and borrows ideas from the socialists and Marxists, most notably the project for National Personal Autonomy, which they believe will be able to solve Lithuania's numerous ethnic and cultural problems. It does not support the monarchy and its anti-capitalist and anti-Nachfolgian tendencies allowed it to become a big tent party for the left-wing.

Far from the Overton Window of Lithuanian electoral politics stand two movements in direct opposition to one another. Formed in 1930, the Lithuanian Activist Front (Lietuvos aktyvistų frontas, LAF) unites the most radical strands of the right-wing nationalist spectrum. It dismisses the democratic process and instead operates in underground cells with the ultimate goal of an armed rebellion to tear down the monarchy and break Lithuania free.

The Lithuanian left sees weaker, less pronounced, but nevertheless noticeable tugging from the Aušrininkai - named after the underground periodical of the same name around which they organize, the “Aušrinė” organization recounts history as old as 1910, turn their eyes toward the Soviet Union and dream of the red Soviet banner flying over the tower of Gediminas.

Political beliefs : Gain political power inside the OstPakt. Preserve its independence.
Political agenda (goals and issues your nation must resolve): Destroy the Lithuanian activist front.

Military Info:
Alignment: Faction(?)
Military Focus: Land army
Army Size:The Lithuanian Army consisted of 20 infantry divisions (~300.000 men), and 3 cavalry divisions (~18.000 men).
Army Description and OOB:The Royal Army of Lithuania is the army of the Kingdom of Lithuania. At the establishment of the army, the Russian equipment was originally used by the rag-tag forces of the volunteers.
The necessity to reorganize the Lithuanian Army already existed since 1926. Under the guidance of Gen. Staff Lt. Col. K. Škirpa a plan for reform was prepared and initiated. After the military coup of December 17, 1926, the modernization process slowed down and the army became only representational. Later some improvements were made in the sphere of military education. However, the army had to be reorganized and modernized completely. When in the middle of 1934 Gen. Staff Lt. Col. S. Raštikis became Chief of the General Staff, he prepared a seven-year plan of army reforms that were based on Škirpa's army reform plan.
An average Lithuanian infantry division consisted of 16,492 soldiers. The average Lithuanian infantry division had 76 cars and trucks and 6,939 horses.
Air force size: The Ukrainian Air Force was already established in 1917 by Kuban military officer Viktor Pavlenko,
The Lithuanian Air Force supported and encouraged various aeronautics related activities, such as the sport of gliding.in 1920's The country constructed its first light aircraft and embraced flying. Brigadier General Antanas Gustaitis designed ANBO aircrafts. Currently, the Lithuanian Air Force consisted of mostly obsolete aircraft: ~200 fighters, ~200 bombers.
Navy Size & Description: The Navy, stationed in Palanga, consists mainly of old and outdated Russian ships. The early development of the Lithuanian navy was hampered by severe budget limitations and a lack of interest from the general staff. It comprised of four destroyers and four submarines.
Military weaknesses: Monstrous soviet neighbor. Couldn't hold by itself a Soviet invasion. Obligated to follow the Ostpakt to survive, between Nachfolgia and Nords.
Economy Info:
Economy type (Industrialized, industrializing, agricultural, primitive): Industrializing. Divided.
Economic Description: The basis of Lithuania's gradual recovery after the Great Depression was its mass economic development plans, which oversaw the building of three key infrastructural elements. The first was the establishment of the Palanga seaport, which allowed Lithuania to have proper access to the sea. The second was the construction of the rail connection between Vilnius and Palanga, called the Lithuanian Agrarian Trunk-Line, which served freight trains with agrarian products. The third was the creation of a central industrial district, named COP – Central Industrial Region (Centralny Okręg Przemysłowy). Unfortunately, these developments were slowed by social unrest.
Lithuania was unofficially divided into two parts – better developed "Lithuania" in the west, and underdeveloped "White Ruthenia" in the east. Lithuania industry was concentrated in the west, mostly in Vilnius and Kaunas regions, where the bulk of industries was located. White Ruthenia was one of the smallest population densities in Europe, making it difficult for the cities to find worker for any industry. Illiteracy remained a large problem especially in the rural areas that dominated the country.

Economic Description:

Major Ottoman railway lines as of 1935. The Berlin-Bucharest-Constantinople-Baghdad Railway.
The Railway grants a connection to the port of Basra on the Persian Gulf.

When the dust settled in 1920 and there finally came an end to almost a decade of non-stop war, the economy of the Ottoman Empire laid in tatters. The manufacturing industry which had seen slow but steady growth in the CUP era was knocked down as the effects of the Armenian genocide took their toll on the educated middle class. Doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, etc all became critical jobs as a continued exodus by Greek-Ottoman citizens in Asia Minor showed how devastating the 'National Economy' plan of Gökalp really was to the ravaged nation. In a similar way, agriculture was ruined as the real effects of the war started to sink in. The loss of the Anatolian Turkish population was mind-boggling as almost 25% of the pre-war population was gone, leaving behind an abundance of land with no one to tend to it. Nonetheless, the Sublime Porte did not sit idle and plans for a swift recovery were quickly drafted as the first real post-war cabinet made it their top priority. Railroads, left behind by nations no longer existing, were nationalized. The 'National Economy' project became the centerpiece of Ottoman economic policy as the horrors of the war and the reliance on an untrustworthy non-Turkish population left deep scars amongst the ruling elite. A Muslim bourgeoisie had to be groomed to challenge the traditional Christian dominance, the people had to be educated and the empire finally launched into the 20th century.
As the years ticked by and the economy recovered, the pre-war state was achieved by the late 20s. The next step was the development of 4-year plans and an even larger grip of the government on the economy. In 1929 however, the tale of the nationalists hit an abrupt bump as they were soundly defeated in the elections and were forced to make way to the liberal opposition as Black Tuesday hit the country. Some sectors were carefully opened up to the free market and some of the more drastic etatist measures abolished. By the end of the 30s, the Turkish economy had never seen better days as a feeling of euphoria and progress could be felt by urban populations from Beirut to Smyrna. Nonetheless many have pointed out the warning signs on the horizon as increasing instability on the continent.

Military Focus: Land army
Army Size:WIP
Army Description and OOB:WIP

Navy Size & Description: WIP
Military weaknesses: The ongoing great purges badly affected the leadership of the Soviet army. There is a lack of repair parts, thus the Soviet Union has an enormous amount of supplies, but in practice cannot manage it.
Economy Info:
Economy type (Industrialized, industrializing, agricultural, primitive): Industrialized.
Economic Description:

Following the end of the war against Nachfolgian and Nords, the terrible losses of territories and the end of the civil war. The newly founded Bolshevik union was in a dire state. Losing access to the Baltics, Sebastopol was chosen as the new main commercial and military port.

The Soviet Union adopted a command economy, whereby production and distribution of goods were centralized and directed by the government. The first Bolshevik experience with a command economy was the policy of War communism, which involved the nationalization of industry, centralized distribution of output, coercive requisition of agricultural production, and attempts to eliminate money circulation, private enterprises and free trade. After the severe economic collapse, Lenin replaced war communism by the New Economic Policy (NEP) in 1921, legalizing free trade and private ownership of small businesses. The economy quickly recovered as a result. Following the end of the war against Nachfolgian and Nords, the terrible losses of territories and losing access to the Baltics, Lenin chose Sebastopol as the new main commercial and military port.

After a long debate among the members of the Politburo about the course of economic development, by 1928–1929, upon gaining control of the country, Stalin abandoned the NEP and pushed for full central planning, starting forced collectivization of agriculture and enacting draconian labor legislation. Resources were mobilized for rapid industrialization, which significantly expanded Soviet capacity in heavy industry and capital goods during the 1930s. The primary motivation for industrialization was preparation for war, mostly due to distrust of the outside capitalist world. As a result, the USSR was transformed from a largely agrarian economy into a great industrial power.
By the late 1930s, the Soviet economy had become relatively self-sufficient; for most of the period until the creation of Comecon, only a tiny share of domestic products was traded internationally.

These industries were for the most part “built on sand” as one report of the Bank of Greece put it, as without massive protection they would not have been able to survive. Despite the global depression, Greece managed to suffer comparatively little, averaging an average growth rate of 3.5% from 1932-1939. The dictatorial regime of Ioannis Metaxas took over the Greek government in 1936, and economic growth was strong.

Third Bulgarian Kingdom

Military weaknesses: obsolete, horse-drawn and lacking in both modern armored fighting vehicles and anti-tank guns.

Economy Info:
Economy type (Industrialized, industrializing, agricultural, primitive): Industrializing.
Economic Description: Bulgaria was highly backward from an economic standpoint. Heavy industry was almost nonexistent due to a lack of major natural resources, and whatever manufacturing did exist consisted almost exclusively of textiles and handicrafts. Even these required extensive tariff protection to survive. Some natural resources did exist, but bad internal communications made it impossible to exploit them and nearly all important manufactured implements were imported. Farm machinery and chemical fertilizers were nearly unheard of. Agricultural products were almost the only thing Bulgaria could export and after 1929 it became very hard to do this. Bulgarian agriculture was almost entirely one of small farmers and peasants. With the rise of the "King's government" in 1935, Bulgaria entered an era of prosperity and astounding growth, which deservedly qualifies it as the Golden Age of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom.
Bulgaria was economically dependent on Nachfolgia, with 65% of Bulgaria's trade in 1939 accounted for by Nachfolgia, and militarily bound by an arms deal.

Kingdom of Romania

Population (primary ): ~11.3 million

Government structure: Constitutional Monarchy
Government description:
Until 1938, Romania's governments maintained the form, if not always the substance, of a liberal constitutional monarchy. The National Liberal Party, dominant in the years immediately after the war, became increasingly clientelist and nationalist, and in 1927 was supplanted in power by the National Peasants' Party. Between 1930 and 1940 there were over 25 separate governments; on several occasions in the last few years before World War II, the rivalry between the fascist Iron Guard and other political groupings approached the level of a civil war.
In April 1938, King Carol had Iron Guard leader Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (aka "The Captain") arrested and imprisoned. On the night of 29–30 November 1938, Codreanu and several other legionnaires were killed while purportedly attempting to escape from prison.

Empire capital: Bucarest

Nation Leader: King Carol II
Main political parties/political factions:
- National Agrarian Party
- National Christian Party
- Iron Guard
- Romanian communist party

Military Info:
Alignment: Neutral, Member of Balkan pact
Military Focus: Land army
Army Size: ~686k men
Army Description and OOB:Field Army : The core of the army lay in 18 Infantry Divisions, plus Guard and Frontier Divisions. Cavalry remained strong in the army, drawing on regular Rosiori and “yeomanry” type Calarasi regiments. Specialist Mountain troops constituted the army’s elite.
Air force size: Air force : 204 fighters planes (PZL P11 -148 , PZL.24 - 56 ), 256 bombers (PZL. P37)
Navy Size & Description: Navy : 7 destroyers and torpedo-boats (two modern), 1 submarine.
Military weaknesses: During the 1930's, Romania boasted a huge but obsolescent army, firmly tied to the doctrines that had evolved from the first World War. King Carol embarked on modest programs of reform, but the army remained poorly equipped, particularly in terms of motor transport, communications equipment, and anti-tank weapons.

Economy Info:
Economy type (Industrialized, industrializing, agricultural, primitive): Industrializing.
Economic Description: The application of radical agricultural reforms and the passing of a new constitution created a democratic framework and allowed for quick economic growth (industrial production doubled between 1923 and 1938, despite the effects of the Great Depression in Romania).
Romania was Europe's second-largest oil and food producer. Largely a peasant society.
