Which are split into two bigger cells - Czechia and Slovakia. Both of these cells have a smaller parliament, which has two chambers - Krajská Rada and Krajské Zoskupenství. Both of these come under the central government in Prague - Narodní Rada. The president passes legislations from the Rada, however, the Rada can veto the legislation from the president. Elections happen every 4 years, and the party (or coalition) with the majority appoint the president.

History:
The Czechoslovak nation started to exist when Slovak and Czech nationalists took matters into their own hands and broke away from the dying Austro-Hungarian giant in 1918. The years of 1919-1920 were years of stabilization and constant wars of survival. Against Hungary, mostly. Seeing the fall of the US and the socialist revolution, Czechoslovakia, though still harshly struck by the Great Depression, transited from the reliance on the dying western powers to the young democracy in the east - Russia. Due to hard anticommunism, Czechoslovakia saw the rise of ČsNKS - Československa Národní Konzervativní Strana and the LOČ - Liberální Obec Československá, two major conservative and liberal parties, as well as other smaller ones. The founders of Czechoslovakia, Tomáš Gariggue Masaryk, Milan R. Štefánik and Edvard Beneš managed to join up these parties into a coalition against communism, to confront the rising popularity of Klement Gottwald and his KSČ - Komunistická Strana Československa. The inner political and economic turmoil in Czechoslovakia brew to the 1932 elections, where the Liberal-Conservative Coalition won with a slim majority. The communist fire started to fade away in country, as successful economic reforms created a state which prospered.

All things within the war went just like irl Slovak National Uprising, Prague Uprising and others. Anthropoid happened as well, with that exception that KSČ(the communists) resided in the west whilst the legitimate government in Moscow.
After the war, the situation was grim. Czechoslovakia was in ruins and the coalition of all parties which was created within the exile quickly fell apart in the 1948 elections. However, the liberals and the conservatives, knowing they mustn’t leave their nation to fall to the reds, formed a new coalition - Národní Fronta za Rekonstrukci Československa (National Front for the Reconstruction of Czechoslovakia), with that, they won the elections. Czechoslovakia firmly aligned itself with the CTO. By 1952, Czechoslovakia was rebuilt. However, it was the year that the coalition suffered a massive strike ČsNKS collapsed due to evolving internal conflicts between the politicians. Though majority joined the LOČ, due to their partnership, KSČ smelled the opportunity and created multiple partner parties - Narodní Socialistická Strana (NSS) and Lidová Agrární Strana (LAS) and together they formed the Komunistická Unie Československa (Communist union of Czechoslovakia), gaining multiple seats in the parliament. The Liberal-lead coalition suffered a massive strike, though managed to secure majority in both of the elections in 1952 and 1956. Over the years, the economy has revived, and Czechoslovakia continued its Arms Industry. The year is 1960, and another elections are about to happen. If the coalition is to survive, the LOČ must unify it under one banner.

Are you sure? It'd be faster communication on the Discord, for one. Plus, there's cooperative-IC planning channels for when the IC launches, for people doing cooperative posting on the IC thread on NS.

I won't begrudge you the choice, just pointing out the benefits of if you do join.

Informal/Casual Nation Name Mongolia

Government Type: Unitary presidential constitutional republic
Head of State: President Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal
Head of Government: President Yumjaagjin Tsedenbal
Capital: Ulan Bataar
Population: 2,659,000
Military Population: 75,600
Territory: Mongolia
Territorial Conflicts: Inner Mongolia and Dzungaria with China.
Alignment: CTO
History:

Following the collapse of Qing Dynasty during the Xinhai Revolution, the prominent aristocracy faction in Mongolia convened to established an autonomous state under the newly formed Republic of China, but further development down the road concerning the Republic of China (mainly that Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself as an emperor) forced the hands of the nobles to established an independent Mongolian state, one that works along the theocratic line under Bogd Khan himself, albeit with a relatively absolutist institution in the form of Buddhist monarchy. As WW1 broke out, the Russian influence slowly declined as they directed their efforts to Europe, and with that, a stronger Chinese influence snipped in, through the political tutelage of KMT who put their people to Mongolia, ironically strengthening the locally democratic movement that adopted the political tutelage for their own ideology and not to be integrated to China proper.

A notable appearance of Grigory Semyonov who appointed as Russian Consulate officer in Mongolia and to whom he has strong advocation of an independently strong Mongolia put an end to the nobility route of Mongolia. Through both Semyonov's tactics, pro-democracy nobles led by Tögs-Ochiryn Namnansüren and the local democratic movement led by the Minister of War, Damdin Sukhbaatar, who led his army loyalists into the palace to arrested the nobles contributed to the rather peaceful end of the Khanate and the establishment of the Republic of Mongolia in a presidential form as well as the first 1921 election, with Damdin winning narrowly as his party won. Adopting the Russian Constitution as its constitution form, the Republic began to liberalized with political freedoms, free press, and stronger Russian influence within. A series of purges of anti-democratic nobles ensued, led by Togs', who was the head of the military at this point.

By the time WW2 started, Mongolia is one of the few democratically established republic, albeit with a moderately corruption issue and disparity of income as economy is limitedly developed, albeit modernized. Mongolia also became one of the supporter of KMT's China in the civil war. Following the end of WW2, and establishment of the CTO, Mongolia joined as one of its first member. Also, their newest president elected from the socialist party. With the new president comes a new mixed economy policy and huge undertaking on both modernizing the economy through rapid industrialization and anti-corruption issue, Mongolia is ready to take on the new era...

Democratic Republic of Brazil - República Democrática do brasil
Brazil

Government Type: Unitary Marxist one-party state

Brazillian politics are governed by the Constitution of 1936, which founded the Democratic Republic of Brazil and placed the Communist Party of Brazil as the vanguard party of the communist nation. Brazil differs from other communist states of the world, that embraced DeLeonism, in that all cooperatives and unions are formed within the frame of the Communist Party, allowing greater state intervention. Founders of the Communist Party took inspiration from Vladimir Lenin as well as Daniel De Leon, resulting in Brazil's political system being a hybrid of the two interpretations of Marxism.

Brazil is subdivided into 20 regions, called conselho (lit. "council", in the same sense of "soviet" to the Soviet Union), including the capital city of Rio de Janeiro. Conselhos are further divided into município (municipalities). Each conselho is led by a Party Secretary elected by registered voters - only the Communist Party of Brazil is allowed to participate in elections. Brazil's unicameral legislature, the Supreme Council, seats 500 representatives of each electoral district spread across the country. Representatives can be recalled by constituents at any time. Brazil's Supreme Court is the only institution that is (nominally) independent from Communist Party control; justice candidates are first popularly elected, then elected as justices by the Supreme Council.

While Angola is technically a sovereign country, the Brazillian military and the MPLA (some of which members are also members of the Brazillian Communist Party) is responsible for defense and government, respectively. The Brazillian military is currently training regiments to be integrated to Angola's professional force, and insurgents that would destabilize anti-communist countries in Africa.

Head of State: Chairman Luís Carlos Prestes, General Secretary of thre Communist Party of Brazil

Image

Head of Government: Chairman Luís Carlos Prestes

Capital: Rio de Janeiro

Population: 79,000,000

Military Population: 350,000 active, 120,000 reservists

Territory: Brazil, Angola

Territorial Conflicts:
Brazil is heavily supporting the communist regime in Angola, to the point of sending Brazillian administrators to help the MPLA. Brazil also supports communist regimes across Africa and South America.

Alignment: de jure Unaligned, de facto Panama Pact

History: Brazil's Communist Uprising of 1935 was one of the swiftest and most successful communist uprisings of any country, which resulted in the conservative regime of Getulio Vargas being overthrown and replaced by a military junta controlled by communist Army officers. Contrary to the expectations of senior Army leaders, many soldiers in the bottom ranks supported Brazil's communist movement, and when this element of the Army struck in November 1935, major cities of Brazil outside of the capital became violent battlegrounds. São Paulo and Minas Gerais were quickly taken by communist officers with the support of labor unions. In the countryside, the communists rallied poor farmers and disenfranchised blacks alike to capture military bases. Within a week, the Vargas government was paralyzed; the communist officers besieged Catete Palace, broke into the building, and paraded Vargas upon the streets of Rio de Janeiro.

The revolutionary officers soon organized a convention in December, a few days before Christmas. A new government soon formed, headed by Brazillian Communist Party cadres, without the influence of landlords from São Paulo and Minas Gerais (which had controlled Brazillian politics before Vargas came into power, and soon after). All left-leaning parties were absorbed into the Brazillian Communist Party. Army officers surrounded Candelária church during Christmas mass, forcing the Archbishop to deliver a sermon supporting the new Communist regime and denouncing Vargas. In January, the government organized a snap election, though Communist Party candidates made up ninety percent of the ballot. However, the Chamber of Deputies and a new cabinet was not officially convened until 25th March 1936 (athough they have started sessions earlier), the anniversary of the Brazillian Communist Party, and the establishment of a new constitution. The country's name was officially changed to the Democratic Republic of Brazil; other political parties are banned. The new government, led by Luís Carlos Prestes - the officer who started the 1935 uprising - began to organize Brazil into new political subdivisions. The Brazillian Senate was abolished, as there was no senate election in January. The Chamber of Deputies was renamed Supreme Council; states were reorganized into "councils".

With full control of the government, Prestes set out to drastically reform the country. Major industries and agricultural estates were nationalized, but the former owners were kept as supervisors to manage the business so that they would still be profitable during transition. Eventually, the workers would take control of their respective businesses, but those that are elected as supervisors need a graduate economic degree. However, small businesses can be owned privately. Corruption is punishable with the death penalty. Prestes's government launched a massive campaign of literacy and education for children up to nine years, including impoverished, disenfranchised native and black children. The Brazillian state deforested large swathes of the Amazon to give to formerly tenant farmers as part of a land reform package, and started to mine the natural resources inside. Prestes started the first public housing program in the southern hemisphere, creating residential towns that would exist accompanying industrial, retail, and agricultural towns. The state allocated three percent of its annual GDP for education between 1936 and 1950, and established dozens of universities across Brazil. Furthermore, he divided the Brazillian Communist Party into opposing camps of moderates and radicals, ostensibly to maintain choice in an one-party state. Brazil's economy grew rapidly in the following decades, becoming one of the world's major exporters of natural resources and processed goods. Brazil conducts a successful nuclear test in 1956, and a hydrogen bomb test in 1959 at the Brigadeiro Velloso test site, deep in the Cachimbo mountains. For now, the Brazillian government is looking to utilize nuclear as a source of energy.

Brazil's interference in Angola dates back after the conclusion of WWII, with the Brazillian government giving support to the communist and Pan-African factions in Angola in oppposition to the right-wing parties. MPLA, a communist, Pan-Africanist political party received much of Brazil's support, with Brazillians arming and training their paramilitaries in the Angolan Civil War. Eventually, the nation stabilized, and although Brazillian influence is very much present, they are looking to withdraw from Angola very soon and support further insurgencies against the Royalist French presence in Africa.

The Kingdom of Greece
Βασίλειον τῆς Ἑλλάδος

Greece / Ελλάδα / Elláda

Government Type: Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy. The Kingdom's unicameral legislature is the Hellenic Parliament, with 300 seats. 258 of these seats are awarded through proportional representation from 64 electoral districts in Greece proper and Cyprus, while the remainder are elected nationally by party list. The leader of the winning party or coalition thus becomes Prime Minister. All parliamentarians are subject to 4-year terms. Notably, the Greek Constitution of 1948 still provides some substantial powers for the monarchy - the king must approve the formation of all governments in the wake of elections. He also has a veto over laws passed by parliament, although this can be overridden with a two-thirds vote.

Head of State: Paul, King of the Hellenes
Head of Government: Prime Minister Konstantinos Karamanlis
Capital: Athens
Population: 11,000,000 (10,500,000 in Greece proper, 500,000 in the State of Cyprus, with which Greece has a political union)
Military Population: 300,000
Territory: Megali Greece, as well as Cyprus in a political union
Territorial Conflicts: Ongoing communal violence between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, border disputes with Turkey in Anatolia
Alignment: CTO
History: The expansion of Greece along the lines of the nationalist Megali Idea began in 1915, when a cabal of liberal and pro-Entente Army officers and followers of Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos overthrew the pro-German monarch Constantine in favor of his pro-British son, Alexander. Greece entered the war on the side of the Entente in April of that year. Thanks in large part to the huge concentration of Ottoman forces engaged in the defense of Gallipoli, Greek forces were able to invade eastern Thrace relatively easily, although their advance was halted just outside of Istanbul.

A stalemate ensued with relatively little fighting until the conclusion of WWI, after which the Greco-Turkish War began in earnest in 1919. After making initial advances, which included the capture of Istanbul and its rechristening as Constantinople, the Greeks were pushed back by Turkish counter-offensives in 1920. The largest battle of the war took place along the banks of the Sakarya River in August-September 1921, in which the Greeks won a bloody victory. The end of the war came in March of 1922, when Greece's ally Russia, having survived its revolution, invaded northeastern Turkey. The 1922 Treaty of Bucharest effectively confirmed the existing lines of control, giving Greece control of Constantinople, Smyrna (Izmir), Bursa, and the Anatolian coast in between. The end of the war saw a sanctioned population exchange between Greece and Turkey, with a million and a half Pontic and Anatolian Greeks as well as many Armenians emigrating to the new provinces of Smyrna and Bithynia, while a similar number of Turks left Thrace and Constantinople. The population of the old Byzantine capital declined by more than half after the departure of its Turkish inhabitants.

Alexander died unexpectedly in 1924, leaving the throne to revert to his father Constantine, who ruled until his death in 1936. He was succeeded by his younger son and Alexander's brother, George II, who would become the most important Greek leader since independence.

In 1941, Greece fell under the shadow of occupation after the joint Axis invasion quickly overwhelmed the country. Greek resistance against the Italian-German occupiers quickly fell into two camps; royalists led by the government-in-exile and royal family in British Egypt, and communist partisans led by the KKE and sponsored by the Americans. Although the factions cooperated initially, as the Axis occupation weakened they began to fight each other as well. After the last German troops were defeated in 1944 with the help of both Russian and American troops, the conflict spiraled into a full-fledged civil war between the communists and royalists. The collapse of Britain and that country's subsequent revolution allowed nationalist partisans allied to the king to seize Cyprus in October of 1944, thus completing a long-awaited Enosis with the island.

Simultaneously, Turkey viewed the civil war in Greece as its best opportunity to reclaim its lost provinces, and declared war in December. They quickly overran Smyrna and Bursa and nearly seized Constantinople, but the Turks were plagued by the ferocious guerrilla tactics of the Anatolian Greeks.

Once again, Greece's fate was decided by its relative proximity to its ally Russia. The Americans had more pressing concerns in Western and Central Europe, allowing the Russian-backed royalist party to military triumph over the KKE by mid-1946. Successful Russian (and maybe other allied??) landings at Sinope and Trabzon pressured the Turks to accept an armistice and status quo ante bellum.

Finally, by 1947, Greece found itself at peace. Save for the KKE, the leaders of which were now subject to imprisonment, exile and even execution, the country was unified under the monarchy and had preserved its great gains from the Treaty of Budapest more than twenty years before. George II and several centrist and center-right Prime Ministers set about the gargantuan task of repairing the devastation wrecked by the war. Cyprus was incorporated as a semi-independent entity under the broader Hellenic Federation - the island had its own parliament and administration, but was otherwise tied to Greece in matters of foreign policy and defense.

Greece jumped at the chance to join the Russian and Chinese-led CTO, feeling threatened both by Turkey and the Marxist states of Western Europe. The foreign investment and commercial opportunities provided by the new alliance helped Greece to rebuild its economy and modernize its military in a relatively brief period of time, with significant investment in the Hellenic Royal Navy.

George died in 1953 and was succeeded by his younger brother Paul, who at the age 54 already had experience as a partisan leader during the war and as Minister of Defense in George's administration. The most recent elections, in 1958, saw the second consecutive victory of the center-right and royalist National Radical Union (ERE), which holds a majority in parliament thanks to its coalition with the Popular Social Party and the ultranationalists represented by the Orthodox Party. As a result, Konstantinos Karamanlis has retained the office of Prime Minister.

Could be worth asking this on the Discord. Could work something out with the OP and CTO players!

NATION APPLICATION
Image

Formal Nation Name The French Socialist Republic (République Socialiste de France)

Informal/Casual Nation Name RSF, Red France, La France Rouge, l’Hexagone

Government Type: Constitutional Unitary Socialist Republic

After the successful revolution of 1945, France has been governed by a multi-party, bicameral system enshrined within a national constitution. Legislative power rests with both the National Assembly and the Senate, with the members of the Assembly being elected by popular vote while Senators represent the nation’s unions and cooperatives. The Premier is the head of government and is chosen by the ruling party in the Assembly, while the President is the head of state and directly elected.

Having emerged as a combination of the Union State’s system of governance along with some of France’s continued culture of liberalism, the République’s constitution enshrines the principles of liberté, egalité, et fraternité that the revolutionaries sought to recapture with their movement. While the young nation’s civilian government is nominally in charge of its military, the People’s Army (colloquially known as the Red Army) has retained significant political and cultural power.

Head of State: President Matthieu Gaumont
Head of Government: Premier Fabrice Deloffre
Capital: Paris
Population: 59 million
Military Population: 500,000
Territory: European France
Territorial Conflicts: Kingdom of France
Alignment: PANPACT
History:
The 1930s were a period of chaos and depression for the people of France. Radical views became more prominent among the population as more moderate and traditional political factions failed to deliver for even their most basic needs. Revolutionary groups, inspired by the shifting tides of ideology and successful uprisings abroad, rose up to contest the central government’s hold over the country. Putting down these disparate groups forced the government into a costly game of whack-a-mole, and the scenes of bloody street battles and police raids only served to crater its public support further. Nevertheless, the brutal crackdowns did succeed in keeping the French government in power and may well have succeeded in doing so over the long term had international events not intervened.

When the blitzkrieg tore across the French border, right-wing nationalists chose that moment to strike against the government. Standing alone in Europe as socialist Spain and monarchist Britain stood idly by, the fatigued French army found itself overwhelmed by the German war machine. In a humiliating defeat, what had been thought of as one of Europe’s premier military powers was defeated in a matter of weeks as Paris fell to the invaders. Marshal Petain withdrew from the mainland in a prudent effort to regroup and plan a counter-attack, but ultimately leaving France to its occupiers.

However, not all were satisfied with a simple withdrawal from the mainland. Left-wing partisans that had long been waging their campaign against the former French government now turned their ire against their occupiers. Even though Europe had fallen, these partisans earned themselves a reputation for their brutal efficiency against their foes. An alliance of convenience was formed between the guerillas at home and the government in exile, both putting aside their differences for the moment in the name of reclaiming their country. With the growing support of American industrial might clandestinely flowing into their country, La Résistance turned France into a constant drain on German resources before laying the groundwork for the Allies’ ultimate invasion of occupied Europe. The partisans fought alongside their comrades, swelling the ranks of their liberators and marching alongside them to both reclaim their country and knock Germany out of the war. But the dust of the conflict had hardly even settled when the tenuous French alliance collapsed.

Moving swiftly to secure their hold on France, the People’s Army - as the alliance of left-wing partisans had come to refer to itself - arrested representatives of the exiled government and secured official buildings with tacit British and American support. Forcing a renewed withdrawal back to the old Empire’s foreign holdings, the People’s Army declared a new French Republic: a Socialist Republic.

Styling itself as a true successor to the liberal and democratic ideals of the past revolutions, this new France officially refused to recognise the now-exiled former government. Officially calling for the decolonization of its former Empire and the spread of socialism across the globe, French politics has found itself pulled between a desire to maintain its global influence and a growing bloc of pan-European politicians that seek to direct its attention closer to home. Although the impacts of the Second World War are still being felt, the dramatic efforts from the CASR to rebuild its European allies has allowed for France to reclaim a certain degree of its past strength.
