The germanic state of the Second Deutsches Reich, holding total rule over the lands of Sweden. Over the years it has grown corrupt, decadent,slow, and bogged down by its own once magnificent bureaucracy. Most importantly it remains a dormant industrial base, contracted regularly to provide factories for the dirty industrial work needed to build weapons for the Entente.
The Entente, a shadowy alliance of nations united not by principles, ideology, nor visions but sheer willingness to do what needs to be done for the Greater Good, even as that vision of the Greater Good shifts between even members. It forms a bulwark of military power, both in technological prowess and sheer manpower to fuel wars and economies built to further war efforts first and provide consumer goods second.
As the government of the SDR has grown weaker, perilously close to collapsing under its own weight, its own neighbors have looked on with undisguised glee for its inhabitants, land, and industry. Surrounding the nation is the state of Nordeloupe, a young nation looking to expand its fortunes and reputation. To her south lays Oepolis, another young nation searching for glory.
These young states, with no hope of fighting their way through even the remnant forces of a collapsed SDR have amassed a multinational coalition behind them. With troops, supplies, and political support these emboldened nations marched their troops to the borders and began waiting for the imminent collapse.
Yet, even as the government weighs upon itself with corruption and infighting the approach of foes has given new wind to the struggling state. WIth a new cause to rally behind, the support and advice of their Entente allies, and confidence in the sheer size of their armed forces they stand ready to launch a counter attack to this affront to their honor. A single question remains on national leaders across the region,
In the great struggle over Europe's north, will the continent remain at peace?
