1921-1990 Era War OOC (Open)

by **The Manticoran Empire** » Sat Feb 16, 2019 12:55 pm

Welcome to the 20th Century, specifically 1921 in our absolutely insane universe where a brutal war has created a world where technology is somewhat more advanced and there is a general attitude of “Any problem can be solved with proper application of Heavy Artillery”. It has been about 7 years since the end of The Nine Year War between the world’s two main alliances: The Western League and the Alliance of Republican Nations. After nine years of war, more than 82 million have died and the world is trying to heal and rebuild.

It is into this weary, yet still hopeful, world that you, nations both old and new, are thrust. Despite the loss of life, there has been no closure, for the issues which caused The Nine Year War have not been resolved. Dark clouds of war hover on the horizon and omens appear, heralding the deaths of millions more sometime soon. How soon, however, is up to you. Will the world experience a period of peace or will this be but a brief respite, the eye of the storm so to speak?

In the eight years since the end of the Great War, it has been proven that even the deaths of 82 million people are not sufficient to prevent war. The enormous might of the Central Alliance has come crashing down upon the Empire of Nihon and their allies. In only 100 days of war, over 376,000 people have been killed, wounded, or captured. And it is clear that this war has only just begun.

In the middle of these conflicts are everyday people. Laborers, shop owners, spies, soldiers, generals, politicians, bureaucrats. People with families and hopes and dreams of their own. How you react to this world is your decision. How the world decides to treat you, though, is probably not up to you.

To lay down some guidelines and rules of what will be expected in this forum:

1. This is the early 20th Century. While technology is advanced, the level of advancement is still very much up in the air. Certain things, such as Higgins boats, Liberty Ships, and early 1940s field artillery, are permitted while other things, like tanks, planes, warships, and weapons, can only be employed in the same year they were employed IRL. Specific exceptions can and will be made upon review by myself and my Co-OPs.

2. No controlling other people's attacks, unit reactions, or anything of the like. This is a particular pet peeve of mine and it can ruin a good thread.

3. No shrugging off enemy actions like they don't affect you; it is okay on occasion to have a counter, or to intercept the enemy's master-stroke; but you are not meta, and you will be unable to defend against all their blows. This even goes as far as to include the effects of foreign political moves, such as trade embargoes. Your ability to counter these moves will depend greatly on your ability to retain the support of other nations and maintain intelligence networks in foreign lands.

4. No name-calling, harassment, flaming, or any other toxic behavior will be tolerated. Constructive criticism is appreciated; bullying is not tolerated.

5. No spamming or posting out-of character in the IC thread; we'll either keep this open for out of game chatter, or start a new thread for it later on. We also maintain a Discord, where you can discuss various things.

6. Population sizes will be judged on an individual basis, with the OPs taking into account the region claimed.

7. This should be a given but the OPs word is law. Whether it is myself, Arengin, or anyone either of us designates as a Co-OP, just do as we ask.

8. Realistic accuracy and things of that nature; your scouts won't be able to open fire at other troops at 2 miles range, no matter how good they are with their rifles.

9. Berserkers are a no-go; you may have similar, or troops of imposing stamina, size, or ferocity but they won't be able to take ten shots from a high-powered rifle and keep on trucking.

10. Last but not least, no superweapons. You may design your own weapons if you so feel the need, but I'd prefer images be provided for realism, and you CANNOT have a weapon that can kill an entire army. Superweapons include bio-weapons and atomic weapons. Chemical weapons are allowed, as they tend to have low effective fatality rates.

ADDITIONAL RULES
Military forces will be determined based on population. The maximum number of people you can have in your standing army will depend on whether you have a Conscript or Volunteer military. Conscript forces can maintain a maximum of 3% of their population under arms in standing, active duty forces while Volunteer forces can maintain 1% of their population as active troops. Nations using Conscript Armies can also have up to 12% of their population as Trained Reservists. Nations using Volunteer Armies will have more professional and better trained troops, as a result of their longer service lengths and their status as volunteers indicating a determination to do their best.

Of vital importance is your workforce, eligible population, and the people reaching military age each year. These numbers are used to determine how resilient your nation will be to the attritional warfare that will dominate the military aspect of this RP. The workforce (people in your factories) will be 53.3% of your population. The eligible population (People of the right age range and health to be drafted into your military) will be 44%. The people reaching military age each year (those reaching the age of roughly 18 in that particular year and therefore available for immediate conscription) will be 1.3% of your population.

NATION INFORMATION

Nation name: The Manticore Empire

Flag:

Manticoran Flag

National goals: To expand the borders of the Empire and foster cooperation between the Nations in the Alliance of Republican Nations.

Nation's Leader: Empress Catherine Javette

National Government: The government of the Empire is a Unitary Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy. Empress Catherine I is the Head of State and official Head of Government. Prime Minister Robert Hale is the Head of Parliament, making him the de-facto Head of Government. Parliament is organized around a bicameral legislature in the Westminster style. The Upper House is the House of Lords, with 810 members, organized into the Lords Spiritual, a collection of bishops from the Church of the Empire, and the Lords Temporal, a collection of Lords selected from the peerage of the Empire. The Lower House is the House of Commons, with 1,460 Members of Parliament elected for a period of five years. There are two major subgroups of Parliament. The first is Her Majesty's Government, the political party that the current Prime Minister belongs to. The second is Her Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition, which is the largest political party in Parliament that OPPOSES the ideology of the Government. Other parties often ally themselves either with the Government or with the Opposition, forming complicated power blocs within Parliament. Allegiances often change with each election, though some parties are known to switch camps on a dime or form their own camps.

Empress Catherine is assisted by several advisors, each of who is responsible for a particular department within the government. These advisors are Secretary of State Francis Golden, Secretary of the Treasury Carroll Cork, Secretary of Defense Rodney Sewell, Attorney General Casey Carson, Secretary of the Interior Robert Best, Secretary of Agriculture Henry Andrade, Secretary of Commerce Henry Terrazas, Secretary of Labor Fred Kieffer, Secretary of Health and Human Services Jimmie Dennis, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Joseph Floyd, Secretary of Transportation Steven Ensor, Secretary of Education Walter Hutchinson, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Roy Surette, Office of Management and Budget Director Nelson Moriarty, and Chief of Staff Brian Richards.
The Prime Minister serves as the Head of State while the Emperor is away and can also attend state functions in place of the Emperor. The Prime Minister also serves as the Majority Leader in the House of Lords, holding a position there in addition to serving on the Emperor's cabinet.
The Department of State is the diplomatic and foreign affairs arm of the Imperial Government, responsible to meeting with foreign dignitaries, negotiating with foreign powers, drafting treaties, and providing ambassadors and staff members for the Empire's various embassies.
The Department of the Treasury controls the Empire's money and regulates taxes, tariffs, and other facets of the economy.
The Department of Defense is responsible for ensuring the security of the realm as well as defending her allies and securing her assets abroad.
The Department of Labor is responsible for regulating businesses and preventing the exploitation of Manticoran citizens for monetary gain.
The Department of the Interior is responsible for the maintenance of government buildings, government land, and national parks.
The Department of Agriculture regulates farming and ensures that the food that is sold to the Empire's citizens is safe.
The Department of Commerce regulates both foreign and domestic trade.
The Department of Justice is responsible for enforcing the laws of the Empire, including the investigation and prosecution of crimes.
The Department of Health and Human Services regulates medical practice and helps to ensure that orphans and widows are cared for was well as victims of domestic violence.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is responsible for regulating building codes and ensuring that structures built within the Empire meet safety requirements.
The Department of Transportation maintains bridges, roads, and public transit systems.
The Department of Education is responsible for ensuring that the youth of the Empire receive the best possible education possible.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is responsible to addressing issues faced by veterans of Manticore's military, including assisting them in finding employment and housing.

National history: The Island of Manticore was settled in 1572 by Aclus, with the first colonial settlement becoming the future Capital, Vicuna.

In 1635, the Manticoran Colony began overseas exploration and wars of conquest aimed at increasing its wealth and territory as well as spreading the Word of the Gods. Sphalek was conquered by 1640. In 1643, the Colony marched into Daerdhune, bulldozing the small and ill-equipped Daer Army and securing the country by 1647. In 1650, Colonial troops landed in Aelifland, fighting a 12 year war to conquer the country. In 1670, Manticore invaded Mhakustan, forcing the local government to surrender in less than a year. Smhakun was invaded in 1683 and fell in 1688 after five years of brutal fighting. In 1715, Manticoran troops invaded Forguttei. Forguttei would prove a difficult bite to swallow, resisting Imperial rule for 25 years. When Forguttei fell in 1735, only one territory remained before the Dehum Sea became a Manticoran lake. In 1781, Spirus fell to the Colony, becoming its last conquest before independence was achieved.

When The Plague hit Aclus in the early 19th Century, the Manticoran Colony was granted independence and the Noble of the House of Javette became the new monarchs of the Kingdom of Manticore. The Manticoran Empire was officially formed in 1809 by an act of the new Manticoran Parliament, formed from both commoners and newly minted nobles. To ensure the security of the new nation, it was enshrined in the constitution that defense spending would never fall below 2% of GDP and, to ensure the funds, government revenues were set at 9% of GDP.

Over the course of the last 135 years, the Manticoran Empire became a center for science and technology. Steam locomotives carry people and supplies across Imperial territory. Most streets have electric lamps, telegraph wires crisscross the nation, and several hybrid cable stayed-suspension bridges spanning the Dehum Sea have recently been completed. The bridges allow trains to travel from Ashton Rhuinland to the other territories and urban areas have sprung up along the rail lines. The use of electric lamps allow shops and factories to open longer and allow safer late night travel.

In more recent years, the Empire has expanded into Nuwe Afrikaan, the Polynesian Atoll, and Tamir, conquering much of all three continents, as well as other islands that serve a strategic purpose.

Under Emperor Adrian I, the Manticoran Empire began their major expansions, starting with the Nuwe Afrikaan War, where the Empire, alongside the NCSU and Eaka, invaded and conquered Austrivania. During the war, the Empire first deployed armored carriages in major engagements. The carriages would be used to greater affect in the First Rome-Manticore War.

The First Rome-Manticore War, also known as the Syday War, was a major armed conflict that began in 1888 and was fought between the Manticoran Empire and the Roman Empire over the twin islands of Syday. During the 14 month conflict, the Manticoran Empire delivered a series of humiliating defeats to the Romans, securing Syday. In 1893, shortly before his death, the Second Rome-Manticore War began following the invasion of a Boer Colony on the Island of Solitude. Simultaneously, the Empire was embroiled in the Isle's War, fighting against the Bronze Isles to liberate The Twelve Isles. The Second Rome-Manticore War had threatened to erupt into a world war when Skarten also invaded the Roman Empire, resulting in a tense border situation that continues.

On the 28th of April, 1913, Manticore and her allies in the ARN entered into The Nine Year War, following increasing tensions between Manticore and Skarten in Tamir. The war, which lasted 9 years, 2 months, 3 weeks, and 6 days, resulted in initial ARN victories, especially in Nuwe Afrikaan and Tamir, though these were reversed quickly by Western League advances in Afrikaa and Ruskland. The Manticoran Army achieved victories in Tamir and Nuwe Afrikaan against Skarten and Arengin, though at significant cost in lives. At sea, battles between the ARN and Western League were indecisive and resulted in heavy losses to personnel and ships. By the time the war ended in 1911, the Empire had conscripted 26,590,269 men, of whom 2,216,217 were killed and 4,883,280 were wounded. The Navy lost 6 dreadnoughts, 9 battlecruisers, 33 pre-dreadnoughts, 75 cruisers, 162 submersibles, 192 destroyers, and 30 torpedo boats during the course of the war, taking nearly 100,000 sailors to the deep.

Army

The National Defense Act of 1925, passed into law in January, reorganized the Royal Army into a much larger force, creating a plan to create 135 infantry divisions and 45 armored divisions, with the Infantry Divisions to number 14,037 men and the Armored Divisions to number 10,670 men, for a total of 2,375,145 men in the Divisional Troops and an additional 5,408,100 men in Non-Divisional Troops. The Royal Army would be centered around three key components: Army Ground Forces, Army Air Forces, and Army Service Forces.

The Army Ground Forces would contain the arms focused on conducting ground warfare, namely Infantry, Armor, Cavalry, Field Artillery, Anti-Aircraft Artillery, Anti-Tank Artillery, and Coastal Artillery. This force is set to contain 3,716,580 men.

The Army Air Forces would contain the arms focused on conducting air warfare, namely Fighter Force, Bomber Force, Transport Force, and Ground Attack Force. This force is set to contain 2,411,294 men.

Finally, the Army Service Forces would contain the arms focused on supporting the AGF and AAF, including Signals, Quartermaster, Chemical, Logistics, Military Police, Medical, Ordnance, Finance, Training, Engineers, and Transportation. This force is set to contain 4,016,160 men.

The Royal Army is organized into 3 geographically centered theaters, each named for their locations. The Dehum Theater, headquartered in Cambrea, finds itself responsible for all AGF, AAF, and ASF units on the Dehum Continent, as well as for General Headquarters, Royal Army. The Nuwe Afrikaa Theater, headquartered in Forsyth, finds itself responsible for all AGF, AAF, and ASF units on the Nuwe Afrikaan Continent, as well as having the dubious honor of maintaining the peace along the heavily fortified border with Arengin. Finally, the Tamir Theater, headquartered in Upton, is responsible for all AGF, AAF, and ASF units on the Tamir Continent as well as maintaining the peace along the heavily fortified border with Skarten. Each Theater has approximately 1,238,860 men from Army Ground Forces, 1,338,720 men from Army Service Forces, and 803,764 men from Army Air Forces for a total of 3,381,344 men authorized in each theater. The grand total of 10,144,032 men is expected to be reached by 1935.

Each of the 45 Armored Divisions will have 10,670 men, 195 medium tanks, 77 light tanks, 54 105mm self propelled guns, 434 M1919 machine guns, 382 M1921 machine guns, 2,811 M1921 Machine Pistols, 7,091 M1917 Rifles, 609 Anti-Tank rifles, 466 tracked carriers, and 2,276 trucks and cars.

Each of the 135 Infantry Divisions will have 14,037 men, 6,349 M1917 rifles, 405 M1918 Automatic Rifles, 211 M1919 machines, 237 M1921 machine guns, 90 60mm mortars, 54 81mm mortars, 558 anti-tank rifles, 57 57mm anti-tank guns, 54 105mm howitzers, 12 155mm howitzers, and 2,114 trucks and cars.

Army Air Forces, meanwhile, would be authorized 2,865 very heavy bombers, 11,065 heavy bombers, 5,384 medium bombers, 3,079 light bombers, 16,799 fighters, 1,971 reconnaissance aircraft, 9,561 transport aircraft, 9,558 trainer aircraft, and 3,433 communications aircraft. Army Air Forces would also maintain 377 main bases, 116 satellite bases, 322 auxiliary fields, 480 bombing and gunnery ranges, 44 hospitals, 69 pilot schools, 464 offices, 66 tech schools, 234 college training detachments, and 68 specialized storage depots with a further 751 airfields in various locations overseas. A total of 20 very heavy bombardment groups, 72 heavy bombardment groups, 20 medium bombardment groups, 8 light bombardment groups, 72 fighter groups, 30 transport groups, 15 reconnaissance groups, and 6 composite groups are maintained.

Each Very Heavy Bombardment Group has 45 aircraft and 2,078 personnel. Each Heavy Bombardment Group has 72 Aircraft and 2,261 personnel. Each Medium Bombardment Group has 96 aircraft and 1,759 personnel. Each Light Bombardment Group has 96 aircraft and 1,304 personnel. Each Fighter Group has between 111 and 126 aircraft and 994 personnel. Each Transport Group has between 80 and 125 aircraft and between 883 and 1,837 personnel. Reconnaissance Groups do not have a standardized number of squadrons and each squadron has between 18 and 27 planes and between 233 and 474 personnel. The six composite groups are primarily for flight training.

Officers: 43,474
Nurses: 1,931
Enlisted: 690,802
Officer Candidates: 2,921
Total: 739,130

The Royal Manticoran Navy organizes her combat power into squadrons, divisions, and flotillas, which are then combined into fleets.

The basic Naval element is the Division, a formation of 2 to 4 ships, depending on the type. Submarine and Destroyer Divisions tend to contain 3 to 4 ships, with 3 to 4 Divisions to a Squadron. Submarines and Destroyers are the only ship types which group squadrons into larger Flotillas, with 2 to 3 squadrons led by a Light Cruiser constituting a Flotilla.
Cruiser divisions are more rare, consisting of around 3 Heavy Cruisers or 4 Light Cruisers if part of a squadron. Cruiser Squadrons, when formed, contain 4 Cruiser Divisions, though they have not been actively formed by the Royal Navy in several decades.
Battlecruiser Divisions contain 3 battlecruisers, with 2 divisions to each Squadron.
Battleship Divisions contain 5 battleships and serve as the basic unit for Battleship Force.

BATTLE FLEET
- Battleship Force One: 20 Super Dreadnoughts
- Battleship Force Two: 20 Super Dreadnoughts

NATION INFORMATION

Nation name: The Empire Of The Twelve Isles And All Her Colonies (Often shortened to the Empire, The Isles, or The Twelve Isles)

National goals: To maintain national sovereignty, build to a better and brighter future and to stand with and protect alliances.

Nation's Leader: Empress Bella Cartwine

National Government: Constitutional Monarchy

The Empire is ruled by the Royal Family, House Cartwine, with the highest office in the land being that of Emperor or Empress. This title is passed down to the eldest child of the last Emperor or Empress, regardless of that child's gender, though if they are deemed too young a regent may be elected to rule in their stead until they come of age (16 being the traditional age, though occasionally younger if they are deemed mature enough for the office.) The Emperor or Empress acts much like the president would in most modern democracies. They hold large power, but are subject to votes by the Imperial Court, and the Peoples Court, who act as the representatives of the aristocracy and the commoners respectively. All laws proposed by the Imperial Court must first pass through the Peoples Court, and vice versa, before they are presented to the Emperor or Empress, who can choose to veto it or sign it into law. However, in international matters it is the Emperor or Empress along with their Royal Cabinet, the top advisers to the monarch, who have total say. The people in the Royal Cabinet are the Emperor or Empress, the Imperial Marshal, the Imperial Admiral, Master of Sciences, Master of Politico, Master of The Interior, Master of Law, the Spymaster and the All Fathers Word, who represents Church goals in the government. Though not technically part of the Royal Cabinet, the Guard Captain, the commander of the Royal Guard and the chief bodyguard of the monarch is often unofficially a member as well, as they go almost everywhere with the monarch.

National history: Our thousand year old fortress is the capital city of Townhill, or Pres Andregh On Pres Belgferd, meaning The City On The Hill in the old tongue, often times shortened to simply Pres Andregh in texts from that time.

Townhill was built in the time of the ancients by the king Kirid Mournly, on the banks of the Algsa River, which when translated from the Old Tongue means roughly River River. (An extra fun fact for you.) As the only major power in the area with a strong, profitable and well defended city, King Mournly quickly grew to prominence, conquering the other tribes surrounding his city. He soon controlled roughly 1/3rd of his home Isle, one of twelve that would later become the Empire. When King Mournly died, his son, King Kirid Mournly II took up the mantle, and continued the conquest of the Isle. By the time of Kirid II death, Pres Andregh controlled the entire Isle, and Kirid II christened it the Isle of Mournly, in honor of the family that had taken control of it.

The Mournly's would control the Isle for hundreds of years, and though their grip on the Isle would ebb and flow over time, they never once lost Pres Andregh, and the fortress turned city proved that it could stand the test of time. Eventually, the last of the Mournly's died, with Queen Linn Mournly being the last of her line in the year 988. This would begin a collapse of the Mournly's kingdom on Mournly Isles, and is what began the longstanding rivalry and antagonism between Mournly Isle and Brushwick Isle, the two largest Isles in the archipelago. The Brushwickers would take advantage of their weakened rival, and began to raid the northern coasts of Mournly mercilessly, and on more than one occasion would venture inward in attempts to conquer the Isle. However, despite the state of chaos that had overtaken Mournly, the people of the Isles were still relatively united in their fear of the Brushiwckers, and they were every time able to muster a defensive army, which would quickly devolve into bickering groups back under the control of their feudal lords when the battles were over.

This continued for some time, with the capitol being under the control of a series of small kings and regents, who for the most part made little effort to take their own lands back under the control of the capitol. That is, until King Tyrus Willun came to power in 1000. Tyrus Willun, who claimed and convinced many others in the Pres Andregh's court that he was able to trace his lineage back to the Mournly's, almost instantly set out to take control of Mournly Isle. His first decree was for every lord to bend the knee to him, their rightful king. Though many did just that, many more felt that their freedoms, which they had become accustomed to under the feudal system that had developed, quickly made peace with one another and marched on Pres Andregh. In response, Tyrus called on the lords who had bent the knee to him, and fortified the city. It was a short siege, lasting only 14 days before King Willuns armies, lead by the lords who had bent the knee, came to reinforce the city and routed their enemies. With their enemies defeated, King Willun set out to capture the rest of the Isles, and in 1010 successfully pacified Brushwick. With the other major power in the archipelago defeated, King Tyrus was quickly able to defeat The other Isles, bringing them under his control with the assistance of allied Rannorian lords and mercenaries.

This occured around 1001 to 1013, when King Tyrus captured Karins Isle and declared himself Emperor Tyrus Willun I, 1st Emperor of the Twelve Isles. The Willun family would continue to rule for many hundreds of years, with a few brief respites of control here and there but otherwise relatively stable. At least, that was until 1310, when the Karins Isles Revolt occurred, the Imperial Civil War broke out, and after 13 long years of war the Cartwine family took the throne, and are still with us as rulers to this day.

The civil war occurred in response to increasingly tyrannical and corrupt rule from the Willuns. Of course, they had been in power for thousands of years up to this point, and it was not unknown for the Willuns to become tyrannical from time to time. Each time this happened, there was frequently either a coup, where royals placed more promising members of the Willun family to the throne, or a successful revolution (usually from within the city of Townhill and its surrounding areas) that placed another family on the throne for a while. However, by this point the Willuns were a widespread family and had their fingers in many aspects of government, so if a new ruler was to purge the Willuns, they would effectively crash the Islesish economy. This made it so that the Willuns almost always had a safety net, and were almost always able to take over the country again within 20 to a hundred years, depending on the situation.

However, come 1013, it had been coming up on 115 years of Willun tyranny, and the people were becoming complacent in the lack of a revolution or coup to change this. They felt this was just the way it was going to be from now on. However, the House Cartwine, a small and fairly poor family from Karins Isle, came into conflict with the Willuns due to tax disputes. No one in the Empire thought much of it, until it became known that not only had the Cartwines held off a Willun assault on their castles, but they had even inspired the rest of Karins Isle, the smallest of the Isles, into open revolt. Still, people thought little of it at first, but with Cartwine leadership they managed to hold their own on the Isle, fighting a guerrilla war that the large armies of Mournly were not prepared to fight. With the Cartwines as their example, many other towns and small cities across the Isles took up arms as well, and soon a brutal war of attrition was at hand.

At first it seemed like the attrition would go in the Willuns favor, but over time as the Cartwines armies slowly swelled in size, they increasingly were able to abandon a defensive guerilla war and began to fight the Willuns on the open field, the horrible and disgustingly bloody results for both sides. Both sides were evenly matched, and no matter which army went on the offensive they would always find themselves fighting in the enemies home field. The war bogged down for years to come, dragging the conflict on in what seemed to be a complete collapse of society. In reality, what was happening was both sides were simply throwing soldiers at one another till the other side couldn't take it anymore and broke. And as Im sure you can tell, since in the modern world we now talk about the Cartwines and not the Willuns, it was the plucky little family from the smallest Isle who won out in the end.

The Cartwines, after the collapse of the Willuns will to fight, were able to quickly and effectively capture the rest of the Isles to minimal resistance. And when they reached Mournly, the last test awaited them. Townhill, the City of the Mountain, still stood before them, and it was not surrendering. A siege occurred, a battle of such magnitude and destruction that even in the modern world, after such conflicts as the Carribean War and the Isles Reclamation War, the people of the Empire still see it as unlike anything else. Bones are still dug up from this battle, often times in armor and with swords and rifles in hand. The Siege of Townhill was to the Empire what the Siege of Stanlingrad was the the Soviets. It was a gargantuan battle, pitting the elite of the Willuns army against the fearlessness of the Cartwines revolutionaries. It lasted for almost a year, and by the time the Cartwines breached the walls, half of the population was dead from starvation, and another fifth from a fire set by artillery. The city was completely destroyed, and for many years afterwards was referred to as the Scar, because if one saw it from high up, it was a massive gray splotch running along the green earth from Cartwine supply lines and camps, and the burning of an entire city. For the next week after the walls fell, Willun soldiers continued to fight in pockets, until finally, on April 5th, 1023, a week away from being 11 years of war, the last of the Willuns forces were killed or captured. Silas Cartwine III was chosen as Emperor, and his first order of business was to purge the Willun family. They would be exiled, or if they refused, they would be executed. As far as King Silas was concerned, the Empires economy was already in shambles after 11 years of war. Unlike in the past, with or without the Willuns, they were rebuilding from scratch.

It was here that most historians say that the Medieval Isles comes to a close. The next few hundred years are known as alternatively the Reconstruction Era, or the Transition Era, and come the early 1400's new and revolutionary ideas began to trickle in from the continent. It was then that the Renaissance began in the Isles.

It is believed that the Willun family still exists out there, and there are many conspiracy theories stating that they live in Rannoria. However, this cannot be confirmed, and is mostly a reaction to the often volatile nature of Rannoria’s politics, with the Islesish saying that it is Willun’s manipulating politics there for their own favor.

For the next few hundred years the Empire experienced relative peace, at least until 1722, when the Brushwick Insurrection occured. The Brushwickers, having always been antagonistic with the Mournlyish, eventually declared revolution after Emperor Leander Cartwine chose a young woman from the city of Naval Bay as his bride rather than the daughter of a prominent Brushwiker house, House Locklind. This was significant because it was the first time a Brushwicker family had ever even been considered for marriage into the Royal House, and was seen as a chance to make peace between the two Isles. In response to this slight, Brushwick called back all ships they had built and crewed, and set out to invade Mournly and take the throne themselves. Though they were initially successful, they were stopped at the Battle of the Plateau, when cadets from the North Mournly Military Academy rallied and defended a Mournlyish Army cannon battery to the east of their school, and assisted in the counterattack against the rebelling Brushwickers. With the Brushwickers routed they were soon pushed back into the sea, and the Mournish Navy was quickly able to destroy the Brushwicker Navy in the Battle of Narrow Strait. After that, it was a quick march to the Brushwicker capitol, and the Brushwick Insurrection was defeated after a year and a half long conflict.

In response to the chaos caused by the decentralized nature of the Empires military, reforms were set into motion creating one unified national navy and national army, rather than each Isle controlling their own military forces and contributing them in times of war. With the creation of the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army, subsequent rebellions arising from the Brushwick Insurrection were easily put down, and peace was easily brought back to the Empire, as well as a more viable defensive force having been created.

The next years were once of rebuilding and peace, until in 1812, when the Empire discovered oil off their coasts and coal in their hills. Not wanting to become bogged down by threats or hostile nations looking to take advantage of this new resource, the Empire put itself into a self imposed isolation to protect their new resources. The discovery of oil propelled the Empires navy forward, and for a time they had the most advanced ships in the world, as well as the largest navy. However, by the year 1870, most other nations had begun to catch up, and seeing as they could no longer protect themselves through superior firepower alone, Empress Lena Cartwine III brought the Empire out of its isolation and began forging alliances with other nations. The first major action of the Empire was to take part in the Caribbean War, standing with the Traansval and forging a powerful alliance as a result. As the war came to a close, the world was in a new state of chaos, as the complex web of alliances and agreements created by the war led to a uniquely volatile world. Though there were no more wars of the same magnitude as the Caribbean War, there were many small skirmishes and brushfire wars with rival nations, that the Empire took strides to largely stay neutral on. However, eventually the Empire fell in what was called the Fall of the Empire, when the Bronze Isles successfully invaded and took over the Empire. However, the Bronze Isles control of the Home Isles was a short one when Imperial Marshal Billy Younger, with support from Empress Bella Cartwine and the allies of the Empire, successfully lead armies to recapture the Home Isles in the Homeland Reclamation War.

With the Isles now under control of House Cartwine and the people of the Empire again, Empress Bella Cartwine went about rebuilding the Empire to its former glory. She made great strides in rebuilding the economic output of the cites as well as rebuilding the formidable Imperial Navy, but largely stayed neutral on world affairs. The Nine Years War was devastating to many other nations, though the Empire was able to make it out largely unscathed. This was due to a policy more focused on defense than on offense, keeping much of the fleets home, and using but the money earned from selling the Empires oil to continue production on new ships. Fighting with the ARN however was a dangerous choice, and is what largely motivated the Empire to not fully commit, as they were allied with nations on both sides. However, they were still obliged, as Empress Bella Cartwine had married into the Arenginian royal family, and was obliged to fight as a result. Now the world seems to be ramping up to a time of instability and strife, the Empire is one of the few nations left that is economically stable and relatively untouched by recent conflicts. However, internal divisions surrounding the role of the Church of the All Father in Imperial society threatens to throw the delicate balance off, and forces the Empire to focus more internally than externally, as they would prefer.

Territory: The Empire is built of twelve islands in an archipelago, along with strips of land along the southwestern coast of Nuwe Afrikaan

Language: There are a few languages spoken in the Empire, with the most notable being Brushwicker, Mournlyish, (both old and modern.) and Alabst. However, almost 99% of the population speaks Modern Mournlyish as their first langage, only learning Old Mournlyish, Brushwicker or Alabast as second languages for cultural reasons.

National Religion: The Empire has no official national religion since 1601, when the Church of the All Father split from the Royal Throne. However, the Church of the All Father is till the most widely practiced religion in the Empire.

The Church is founded on the idea of the world having been created by the all knowing All Father, who is in actuality a lesser god to the Old Ones. The Old Ones are said to have chosen the All Father to bring the World, frequently called Aetha in Mournlyish, from then Aether, the primordial space where spirits, magic and the unknown all reside in swirling chaos. The All Father created Aetha and the life that lives on it, always experimenting and learning from what he had made, and building new species out of the ones he had already created. It is for this reason that he is often referred to as the Great Scientist, as he conducted experiments to create new species. He continued on like this for untold eons, until he decided to create a species in his image, and with his intelligence. So, he created humans. However, the Old Ones feared what humans could be capable of, with intelligence equal to that of the All Father. And so, they sent forth the Stranger, the antithesis of the All Father, to distract humans from the words of the All Father and as a result to prevent the All Father from gaining to many followers and by extension an army with which he could usurp the Old Ones.

It is said that the Stranger created the rifts in the world which allowed monsters and magic to seep into the world from the Aether, in what was known as a Blight. In response to this, the All Father created seven magical lamps, one representing each of the seven seas, and gifted them to a woman named Alaina the 1st, who became the first Lamplighter. The Lamplighter is a mythical being, said to be born every time a Blight is imminent, and who uses the Seven Lamps to dispel the demons and spirits of a Blight to another dimension, known as Aethin. The Lamplighters are who caused reality to be split into three, the Aether, or Land of Spirits, Aetha, the Land Of Mortals, and Aethin, the Land Of Demons.

Reincarnation is a vital belief in the Church. It is said that those who follow the Three Scriptures will be reincarnated, while those who break them will be cast out of Aetha to either Aether or Aethin. In Aether, they are said to swirl eternally in the primordial, where their souls can be manipulated by the magics of mortal mages until they eventually dissipate and are forgotten. In Aethin they are said to be left in eternal torment, where they will be in pain forever until they dissipate and are forgotten, or until their will is broken and they become a Demon, cursed to only subsist on the suffering of their fellow man.

The Three Scriptures are the binding words of the religion, and are what ties all Church followers together. They are as follows.
- "He who stands with the wicked is an enemy of righteousness, and is to be purged from the face of Aetha."
- "He who stands against the wicked is a blessed man, and shall enjoy the kiss of the All Father and see the world once more."
- "Blessed be the peacekeepers, for they defend the world from evil."

Along with the Three Scriptures are the Seven Actions Of Righteousness, seven core character traits that are believed to be those all good people take. They are as follows.
- Thou shall not allow their gaze to wander to the spouse of their fellow man, nor to those who harm the will of man.
- Thou shall refrain from harmful and malicious words, and keep their tongue from lying to their fellow man, for it is harmful to the will of man.
- Thou shall find work, and that work shall benefit the lives of ones fellow man, for it is beneficial to oneself to assist his fellow man.
- Thou shall settle, and cease from roving the lands of Aetha, for living in a community is beneficial to ones fellow man.
- Thou shall only consume what he needs, and not take from ones fellow man, for a rampant hunger does nothing but harm his fellow man.
- Thou shall resist the temptations of wanton flesh, and shall only lay with those who one feels love for, for the temptations of wanton flesh are harmful to oneself and to ones fellow man.
- Thou shall keep his mind focused and sharp, for the mind of one who daydreams of frivolous things contributes nothing, and is harmful to ones fellow man.

National Culture/Identity: Due to the often violent and bloody history of the Isles, along with a strong class system and a homeland that is frequently cold, rainy and with many indigenous diseases, the Empire has developed a rather dour and dark culture. The people of the Empire have a deep appreciation for stories that tell of the dark aspects of the human psyche, and often their art is heavily focused on violence, poverty, mental illness and social decay. (Like a 13 year old shitty poetry.)

People from outside of the Isles often describe its citizens as serious, intense and hard working. They are also famous for their tendency to engage in fights, as the Isles has a strong martial tradition and culture of honor. However, though in most places murder is looked down upon, this culture of honor has also lead to many long standing feuds and violent groups, with the most famous being the gangs of Townhill, many of whom have exited and been fighting for generations.

The culture is heavily based upon British culture, with some French and Russian mixed in as well for flair, along with a heavy interest in the occult.

National Pastime: Fishing is one of the most popular activities in the Isles, along with cards, music and soccer. (Though in the Isles, soccer is full contact, but with no pads.)

The Islesish also love them a good fist fight, and in the Aristocracy duels are common.

National holiday: New Years Day, Reclamation Day (when the Home Isles were officially under Imperial control once more.) Day Of Victory (the day when House Cartwine and their revolutionaries successfully captured Townhill and became the new Royal House.

Nation's Population: The population of the Home Isles is 39,500,000. The Colonial population is 39,000,000. The total population is 78,500,000.

Allies: Arengin, Aclus, Manticore WL

Enemies: Ruskland, AORN

Political issues: The Church Of The All Father, in the past having been an official aspect of the government, has been working to regain that position. Though most in the Empire are against this, there is a significant minority who support it. As a result of their renewed social significance, the Church has been exerting force more and more. Their Inquisitors, protectors of Church law and legally allowed to persecute dissenters, (though they have not actually done this since the late 1600s, only protecting monasteries before hand) have begun to do so again. This has greatly angered the public, and has put them in conflict with the Wardens and the City Watch, who support freedom of religion and have begun to work to try and protect the people they see the Church as persecuting. Much of the issues arise due to the Inquisitors having recently attacked non All Father affiliated religious minorities. While the law gives them the rights to persecute those who are in their books and are officially members of the Church Of The All Father, they have no legal right to persecute those who are not members of the Church. Many fear that this may begin again, and is a direct reason as to why the All Fathers Hand, a political position for a priest to act as a liaison between the government and the Church, has been reinstated. It is hoped that by adding this position into the Royal Cabinet once more it will lead to more communication between the two sides and prevent future violence. However, the City Watch and Wardens, along with their supporters, have said that this is giving the Church to much leeway, and that they should be prevented from commuting such actions again, as well as rewriting the law to prevent them from persecuting anyone, regardless of weather they are a member of the church or not.

Chance of revolt: No, but there is a chance of civil war. No one wants to destroy the government or declare independence, but there is questions of where the social structure of the Empire is destined to go in the future.

Greatest Victory: Homeland Reclamation War

Most Embarrassing Defeat: Fall Of The Empire

But then again, seeing the aftermath of the war would just be so goddamn cool too. To be honest, i don't know. It really depends on how we decide that the war ended. That is, IF it ended. But we do need a beggining point right? So i'll guess the war just ended and 1912 is when peace begins. Really,i don't know. It just would be cool to see both scenarios.

I think i'll decide depending on what would happen in a 1912 scenario (For example, what were the results of the war)

In both cases, there is going to be a good deal of run up to warfare. But for post 1912 specifically, the world is basically in a state similar to IRL 1919. The war has just ended after 9 years of death. Nearly 60 million people are dead and tens of billions in damages have been inflicted on most countries. Countries like you, Arengin, Traans, Rusk, Rann, Warg, and TTI, being close to the main battle fronts and, in most cases, on the low end in terms of available manpower, suffered heavy casualties and significant damage to civilian infrastructure and industry. My colonies in Nuwe Afrikaan and Tamir were fairly roughed up and I lost almost 7.1 million soldiers killed or wounded during the conflict.

In the postwar world, myself and Aclus have come out the better of the bunch in absolute terms. Arengin is in decent shape but most of the players are in dire straits economically as a result of 9 years, 2 months, 3 weeks, and 6 days of World War 1 style warfare.

I think my casualties during the war were around 1-1.5 million or so

To tell you the truth, I don’t think we really lost many men during the war, the only main campaign we were concentrated on was Sylbania

Everywhere else were pretty much hundred thousand man large expeditionary Forces

So no, I don’t really think I was tha devestated, especially since none of my main territory was actually fully devestated or anything

Edit: Wait I went to war with Rannoria in this universe? Ok so I probably took much more casualties

Bump that up to 2 million

NATION INFORMATION

Nation name: The Imperial Republic of Norcourt

National goals: To do what is best for the people and the Empire, whilst expanding their power and knowledge.

Nation's Leader: Grand Lord Alistair Caneius

National Government: (explain it's workings and set-up) A Republic with Imperialist traits, formed during the Norcourtian Civil War (AKA Crisis of The 1890s). Led by Alistair Caneius, the people of Norcourt had all within two decades, revolutionized the Norcourtian Government and Economy, whilst completely eradicating all Communist, Covenant, and Rebel factions that had taken arise during the Crisis of The 1890s. Alistair Caneius, being a semi Caesarian-Styled "Emperor" of the Republic, acting as Grand Lord.

National history: The Norcourtian Republic was founded by the many emigrating Elixian Refugees, after the fall of the Elixian Empire, after the Fall of Elixia. 402 BC, The City of Elixia is the city mentioned in the Elixian Code (our religious texts) and mentioned in Jauious Jarrius Furii's Historical Account, of The Great Seafare. The Great Seafare was the enourmous migration of The Elixian peoples, after the sack of Elixia by foreign barbarians. Many Elixians lost their lives, and sacrificed themselves so that the evacuation fleets could leave in peace, leaving but a small fraction of Elixians to resettle and restart their civilization elsewhere beyond the seas. Thus the Great Seafare, a period of resettling occured. Many Elixians struggling to look for a leader, followed Volus Vallorius Harkearean, the son of Victus Vallorius Harkeureaii, a Hero of Elixia who sacrificed himself during the sack of the ancient city. Harkearean who at this time was inglorified, led his men and his seafaring settlers to the peninsular region that they called Jalumyyr of the new continent. 389 BC Jalumyyr was already inhabited, and as they soon realized, there was only room for one civilization on the peninsula. Surprisingly the Jalumyyrians were not like the barbarians of the old world, but intelligent, and wellspoken that they were. Harkearean led a 13 year long conquest of the whole peninsular region and brought upon the complete integration of Jalumyyrian society into the Elixian civilization, and securing a home for the former people of the sea.

From then on The Norcourtian people lived relatively isolated, going through a renaissance of new ideals and developing new technology, whilst the only true conflicts occurring, being minor region wars over clan altercations and etc. In the late 1500s the Norcourtian people had expanded, exploring further into the world, and learning of the other major powers, more in depth than before.

During the 1800s, Norcourt had truly begun to be realized as a world power, during the 1880s, the Norcourtians had supported the GDU in the Sylbanian Wars, with much protest back home they had pulled out to go reinforce the newly conquered Goldrushia colony, as it was being invaded by a large army under the Vologdan banner. The Norcourtian soldiers held their own for two years in Goldrushia, securing the first official Norcourtian Colony, and freeing the Goldrushian people of the opposed Communist regime.

Afterwards, the Norcourtians had annexed the Drales Islands in the East, assimilating the Asiatic Islander peoples of the Islands into the Norcourtian Empire.

In the 1890s, the War for The Twelve Isles (AKA The Bronze Isle War), had weakened the Norcourtian economy, and had killed off the much of the male population, prompting a Civil War in Norcourt. The Followers of Euphronious (AKA as the Covenant) was a Elixio-Verixian Communist regime, brought upon to revolutionize the Norcourtian Empire into a Communist nation. During the fighting, millions of colonial troops, and millions of Norcourtian men, women, and children, had died in the Crisis of The 1890s, as the Nationalists forces triumphed, with a Pyrrhic Victory over the Communist forces.

In 1901, Alister Canius, a prominent Nationalist General in the Civil War and the Wars before, proclaimed himself Grand Lord of the newly formed Imperial Republic. He begun a revolutionary cleansing of Norcourt, eradicating most communists, Followers of Euphronious, and rebels in the Empire. He began a campaign to restore Norcourt to it's former glory, Militarily, Economically, and Governmentally, beginning the Caneius Reformation.

And now, it is 1912...

NATION INFORMATION

Nation name: The Kingdom of Eodor

National goals: Ensure Eodorian safety and (possibly) reclaim the homeland

Nation's Leader: Queen Lusithima Victoria I

National Government: Eodor is a Parliamentary Monarchy-esque system: whilst there is a parliament, it's authority can be overriden at anytime by the monarch. The Parliament is elected from the 750 provinces of the Kingdom, who usually make low-level decisions regarding the day to day running of Eodor. In times of emergency, the monarch can rule without parliament entirely, passing decisions at will. Normally, however, the monarch cannot introduce their own laws.

National history: Since the 1500's, Eodor had been ruled by a series of Kings and Queens said to have stemmed from the original unifier of Eodor: Aenarion of Lothern. When the 1800's came, however, the previously popular royal family became more and more decadent and thus more and more opposed. The Eodorian King, Allex III, was infamous for being one of the most politically inept and self-indulgent rules in Eodor's history. His 11 year reign was characterised by crippling debt and political failures, including, in 1909, the public relations disaster of the Naggarron Uprising. As Allex's popularity decreased, the popularity of more extreme political ideologies increased; with Communism being the foremost on the stage. In the summer of 1912, the Great August Socialist Revolution occurred, Communist revolutionaries under Vladimir Kalashinkov stormed the King's Palace in Lothern and within 12 hours had taken over most of the country. The king's most loyal advisors and friends, all incredibly wealthy landowners of industrialists, attempted to flee Eodor. They were stopped, however, by Eodorian revolutionaries who had taken control of the docks and made an unofficial investigation into their whereabouts. These revolutionaries later became the basis of the VIA, the Eodorian internal affairs bureau and effective secret police.

However, in 1911, Vladimir Kalashinkov, leader of the Eodorian Communist Party and architect of the Revolution, was killed in an accident. Members of his party, unable to see that the time was not right, declared a revolution and began randomly attacking areas of Eodor. The royalists, despite suffering heavy defeats, were able to fight back. King Allex III was still killed, but instead of execution after capture in Lothern it was by a roadside bomb set up by paramilitaries. His daughter, Lusithima, took over, and fought back the listless communists.

Territory:

Language: Eodorian

National Religion: Eodorian Church, similar in structure to Catholicism but far smaller.

National Culture/Identity: A mixture of German and Russian. A hardy, efficient people with a grim determination.

National Pastime: Eodorian Rugby: essentially rugby union with no rules regarding tackling.

National holiday: Saint's Day, where sancitifed Eodorians are celebrated with parades and services

Nation's Population: Circa. 55 Million

Allies: The Western League

Enemies: Anyone against TWL

Political issues: None

Chance of revolt: Minimal

Greatest Victory: Battle of the Utranovsk

Most Embarrassing Defeat: Battle of Narrow Water

Hey Aclus and Warg, I'm going to assume you guys did a simultaneous assault with Aclus landing on the beaches with some Warglorians and a ferocious Warglorian offensive on the east to break into Rannoria, and that the civilians fought you so you fought back and did whatever to kill civilians and soldiers alike. I'd think you'd get pretty close to Rannkradle until we sued for peace.

How much civilian casualties would you cause btw? I'm not so sure about Aclus, but I'd think that Warg would fire back on the Rannorian guerilla forces or just straight up round up and kill civilians due to the Warglorian-Rannorian hatred.

WIP
NATION INFORMATION

Nation name: (The Federation of) Rannoria

National goals: Once it was to expand power. Now it is to rebuild and attempt to thrive.

Nation's Leader: Grand Vail Adance

National Government: The Federation of Rannoria is lead by the Grand, an elected position lasting for five years per term. Each Grand is able to have a maximum of 4 terms before being unable to be elected in again, in accordance with the constitution. The Grand is elected by the people, where each province has 1 vote. Unfortunately, the process is slightly more complicated, as the people themselves do not actually vote for the Grand. Instead, the people elect a governor (the leader of a province) who in turn puts in his vote for the Grand. This may lead to issues of course, as promises can be broken, and people may be lied to.

In total, there are 11 governors. One for each of the following provinces: The Rannkradle Capital Area, Northern Maxtopia, Southern Maxtopia, Eglise Saint Eve, Shoten, Fengate, Pasargard, Shielden, Welfers, Onderan, and Lubezyk. Despite answering to the Grand and having to abide to the national constitution, each governor holds a good amount of control in each of their own provinces. Although limited, the governors can change mant laws exclusive to their respective provinces.

The Councils of Vrei and Ordus are two councils each comprising of 6 people hand picked by the Grand. They are his closest advisors, and used to technically hold the second most amount of power in Rannoria (or most, depending on who you ask), though now they have been relegated to mostly cultural positions, while still being advisors to the Grand.

National history:
Rannoria was formed long ago when the two religious groups (the Banjoists and the Sitarists) battled each other for dominance of the Rannorian peninsula. The Banjoists won and established their branch of the religion as the dominant branch in the area. Soon, under the great Rann Kader, those lands united and formed Rannoria. Slowly but surely, Rannoria began to grow.

The Maxtopians, a different ethnic group, soon came into contact with the Rannorians. Despite having larger lands, they were fractured, and so Rannoria saw this as an opportunity for expansion and trade. Again, Rannoria expanded, though this did not mean there were no issues.

The Sitarists fled upwards to Maxtopia, where their religion was preached. Despite being in the same religious family, the two branches despised each other, and so with the Maxtopians leading the Sitarists and the Rannorians leading the Banjoists, the First String War was fought. The Rannorians arose as the victors, but this began the long and unsteady relationship between the two groups.

For centuries, the Rannorians held onto their land, and time and time again, there were always insurrection for whatever reasons. In the 1400s, the Blackguard Union arose, and their conflict resulted in the Greatest Trials, a series of bad times and events that occurred in Rannoria during this conflict. Against all odds, Rannoria pulled through.

Now in recent times, the hardy Rannorian spirit persists. In 1870, Grand Sios Adance took charge, and began to push Rannoria to a further step in industrialisation. Increasing tensions between Rannoria and its other ancient rival, Wargloria, lead to the construction of the Greatest Defense, a series of trenches, artillery pieces, and other defensive mechanisms spanning the Rannorian-Warglorian border. Ensured peace and stability greeted Rannoria at this time. Sios pushed Rannoria into an age of prosperity and industry, but he didn't have enough time. He had made allies, and enemies too, but in 1894, a year before his third term ended, he was hospitalised. He died at age 49.

The new Grand was Sios' closest advisor, Vernon Askwell. Under him, Rannoria stayed the same. No real progress was made, but no one complained. Then, in 1900, Askwell was voted out in favour of Henrique Havenoff. Henrique seemed to be powerful, and he was. His influence his great. His charisma legendary, and his connections limitless. But he also sought to erode the Rannorian democracy. This would never come to reality until 1902, when the Great War started. At first Rannoria seemed ready. With a capable navy, coastal guns at the ready, and a formidable defensive line the Rannorians seemed prepared. But Henrique got too cocky. He sent troops to trivial battles in the colonies despite the councils advising him otherwise, telling him to hold the line in Rannoria. He started demanding that the military push against the Warglorians and to leave the Greatest Defense. His greatest folly, perhaps, was his High Order to invade Aclus. The superior Aclusian navy destroyed Rannorian warships, and sunk thousands of men. Rannoria would never see a worse defeat than that.

Then the Warglorians and Aclusians struck. A combined assault with maximum ferocity broke the Rannorian line. The Greatest Defense, now understaffed, was broken. Aclusian ships and Aclusian and Warglorian soldiers landed on Rannorian beaches. Meanwhile, Henrique was able to assume control of the nation completely due to the state of emergency, and now assumed command of the military. His bodyguards made those around him fear him. Although many people now resented him, many also still believed in his words. Under his command, the main military force of Rannoria was destroyed, and under the command of the now independent general Vail Adance was a portion of the Rannorian military able to barely hold off the invaders. The numbers and ability of the aggressors were too much. Vail, now an enemy to both the state and the GDU, was forced to rely on patriotic and poorly trained countrymen and whatever military weapons and pieces he could find. He and his men decided to make a last stand in a chain of several forts and cities, until the news was announced. Rannoria had surrendered. With the invaders only
being kilometres away from Rannkradle, the people had enough, and forced Henrique to sue for peace. In 1908, Rannoria left the war, battered and damaged like never before. Cities were destroyed. Millions were dead. Almost a quarter of the population was wounded. For three more years Rannoria toiled under an Aclusian and Warglorian occupation, and was left a defeated state..

Then, in 1911, the Great War was declared over officially, and the GDU left Rannoria. Whatever it was, hope filled the hearts of the people, and on December 25th, Vail Adance lead an army of countrymen and defecting soldiers to the capital. Henrique was encircled, and demanded that he would never surrender until Rannkradle was torn down brick by brick. But even his closest guards had enough. He was shot that day, holes filling his body, and his rule was over. Vail Adance took charge temporarily with the military supporting him, but he knew he couldn't do anything important in his temporary rule. He dedicated his time to comforting the people, and to restoring the federation.

The next year, in 1912, the federation returned. All democratic processes were restores, and everything in the government was put in its correct place. Now, the people of Rannoria must decide who will be the one to lead them. Only time will tell if their choice will benefit them greatly, or leave them to the vultures.

This is a new era. This is 1912.

Territory: Mainland Rannoria and its Afrikan colonies.

Language: Dutch, Rannoire

National Religion: Banjoism. Too much to explain.

National Culture/Identity:
The Rannorians are a persevering people. They have seen hardship, and so they make the best of what they have with friends and family. They are good fun to have in your company, but they will never forget what happens to them.

National Pastime:
Drinking, sailing, family gatherings, Banjoist religion things, sword fighting, cards.

National holiday:
It'll be mentioned in the RP if there's anything important.

Nation's Population: Once around 81 million, and after the war it drops down to 76 million with 12 million wounded and barely able to serve.

Allies: The AoRN

Enemies: The Western League, particularly Wargloria and Aclus

Political issues: Despite just getting their democracy back, Rannoria isn't particularly politically unstable. All (or most) Rannorians want Rannora to be rebuilt, and so they are unified in that goal.

Chance of revolt: If so, then in the colonies.

Greatest Victory: The Greatest Day

Most Embarrassing Defeat: The Invasion of Aclus

MILITARY STATISTICS

Military Statistics, Manpower

Total Personnel: Currently 450,000 professionals (perhaps add more for the navy), and 1.2 million in reserves (trained and untrained)

So you're not fighting against civilians who are shooting at your troops? ok. Honourable people, the Rannorians will remember that.

Also I posted my app. A WIP but itll be done in about a week. I'm going to say two things.
1. Aclus I dunno if you'll like this but basically Rannoria did an invasion that failed horribly and was destroyed by your ships, never landing on your soil. Hope you're okay with that, because that opens for an easier Aclusian invasion.

2. I dunno what's up with occupation. I'm saying that Rannoria surrenders in 1908, so do you and Warg both control Rannoria for 3 years, or bribe my corrupt ruler? idk man

and one more thing. These guerilla fighters who are civilians will also be fighting under a splinter Rannorian militsry group after a general sees what Henrique is doing is wrong. Of course there will be civilian fighters who arent organised at all, but they're still killing your men.

also advice on app pls
