  History: With the collapse of the Dutch colonial system, and a near blackout of information form their masters, the Dutch East Indies were faced with a predicament. During the great war, they served merely as a series of military bases, with little consideration for their people or the colony's needs. Did the Governor-General truly want to hold out and wait for some sort of signal? Well, as a matter of fact Governor-General Stirum did just that. Although he took steps to ensure the colony would remain operation, he centralized the new rule in Jakarta. With the government's control barely extending halfway through Java, lawlessness reigned in the other colonial areas. However, a short three months after the last Dutch communication, Limburg would resign, making way for De Jonge, a confident man with a clear vision for Indonesia. De Jonge would lead a series of expeditions which would bring the colony to control all of Sumatra and Java. He would centralize the government around the colonial governor's seat in Jakarta. His 22 year rule would see the colonies begin to get back on their feet, and a sense of hope almost seemed to be found in the nation. It would only be under Van Mook that the nation would truly begin to prosper, and the non-white native population would begin to get a piece of the pie.

  The Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL) - 113,200 Soldiers
  The KNIL is comprised of four main branches, the Royal Army, the Royal Marine Force, the Royal Expeditionary Force, and the Royal Air Force. The Royal Army control 43,000 soldiers, who work primarily as defensive forces and garrisons. The Marines specialize in amphibious invasion and coastal defense. Controlling a number of coastal defense craft, the Marines double as the Indonesian Coast Guard, when needed. Totaling 31,100. The Expeditionary forces specialize in quelling resistance, and with 25,100 soldiers, they are often deployed to multiple islands at once. With 14,000 soldiers and 31 aircraft, the Air Force is a relatively small portion of the KNIL. Hosting 12 Fokker D.23 Bombers, 17 Fokker D.21, and four Fokker G.1.
  The Royal Netherlands East Indies Navy (KMNI) 83,750 Soldiers
  With the recent commitment to the East Indies Navy, recruitment has increased recently, bringing the numbers as high as they are presently. Hosting a number of former Dutch ships, and a new series of two new Cruisers, the navy functions as the primary expenditure of the colonial government as of late. The total ship numbers are:
  3 Konigin Regentes Class (Dutch Legacy ships, Light Cruisers)
  2 Oost Kolonie Class (Laid down in 1944, Heavy Cruisers)
  6 Prins Jean Class (Laid down in 1947, Destroyers)
  2 Joséphine Class (Dutch Legacy Ships, Submarines)
  19 Wilhelmina Class (Assault Craft)

  Strengths:
  Dutch Heritage: The Legacy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is alive and well in their faithful colony, the Kingdom of the East Indies! The kingdom had taken up their mantel, and the government has dedicated itself to the continued restoration of the Dutch government. Although a far off goal, a longing for the fatherland drives all true Dutchmen!
  Naval Initiative: Under Governor Van Mook, a great shipbuilding initiative has been undertaken. If the Kingdom is to protect itself, they must have a fleet to secure their borders! The Jakarta Docks Complex Limited company has been contracted by the government to continue to pump out warships at a considerable pace. May the East Indies control the seas, wherever they may be!
  KNIL Liberalization: The Royal Netherlands East Indies Army has begun to recruit fairly and equally among the Indonesian population. The long overdue appointment of native officers finally took place in 1941, and since then, the KNIL has only continued to grow through the government's regular reviews of progress, and Seven Month Plans to help equalize the army.
  Weaknesses:
  Colonial Government: The Kingdom longs for the fatherland, and as such, the shackles of their past cannot be shaken. Dutifully the government waits, hoping for a sign. With a relatively narrow mindset, very few in the government dare think beyond that objective. Some even see the colony as a means to return to the fatherland, and believe that the native population does not deserve any treatment less than enslavement.
  Legacy of Colonialism: The painful truth of the East Indies that the government tries admantly to cover up is that the nation faces intense and in some cases institutionalize racism. Local legislation regularly favors the white colonizers over the native Indonesians, which in turn only worsens the riots and protests that the oppressed hold.
  Complacent Oligarchy: With the fortunate few ruling, very few desire any real in change in the Kingdom. The rich keep getting richer, and they care little for their subjects. They funnel vast amounts of the colonies wealth to the top few, with massive estates and various compounds across the country.
  
• 
  Name: Hubertus Van Mook, Governor-General of all Indonesians and the Dutch East Indies
  Age: 43
  Significance: The governor of the Dutch East Indies, Van Mook has served since the death of the previous governor-general, Bonifacius Cornelius De Jonge, in 1941. Hubertus has begun the steady liberalization of the East Indies, allowing for greater representation of the native Indonesian population, alongside the expansion of rural infrastructure. His greatest achievement in his thus short tenure as governor-general has been the Werknemers Weg, or Workers Road. The program was a massive construction project aimed at employing many poor or unskilled laborers in Java. The workers built a series of roads and railways which allowed for one to travel from Genteng to Jakarta in 20 hours by automobile. The project was later moved to Sumatra to construct additional infrastructure in the region as well. Van Mook has proven himself to be an ally of the Indonesian people, although not as radical as some would like.
  
• 
  Name: Jean, Prince of the East Indies, and Grand Duke of Luxembourg
  Age: 27
  Significance: The monarch of the East Indies, Jean arrived in 1938, and was crowned Prince of the East Indies by the governor-general of the time, De Jonge. Although an incredibly young Prince, Jean is seen as a much needed connection to Europe, by the colonial government. Surviving on the image that the East Indies were the successor the the Dutch government, a monarch was desperately needed. Jean and the then-princess of Belgium, Joséphine, escaped the worst of the plague in Europe in 1920 when they were sent to Tianjin. Although the Dutch were at war with what was left of China, the city of Tianjin had been placed under martial law since 1914, and as such, nobody was allowed in or out, save those with the permission of the Belgian government. Jean was brought along out of an old debt the Belgian king, Leopold owed to the Luxembourgers, which likely saved his life from the plague. He would spend the next 13 years in Tianjin, locked in the Royal Palace. During that time, he would marry Joséphine, and recieve an education in the intricacies of statecraft, while also receiving a token place in the military. When the Dutch East indies invited him and Joséphine in 1938, he could not refuse the offer.

United States (of Columbia)

Population: 6,390,667.



Informally referred to as: U.S., the States, Columbia.
​

Government: Technocratic Representative Democracy.
Currency: United States Dollar.
Territory: Minnesota, Iowa, Northern Missouri.



History: When all resemblance of order broke down within the Midwestern United States in the year of 1921 - the National Guard took it upon itself to restore the rule of law in their homeland by any means necessary. Declaring martial law and abandoning indefensible military installations throughout the region, soldiers redeployed up and down and along the Mississippi River to their new posts, the landmark once more reclaiming it's rightful place as the greatest highway of America. For two years they sought to become self-sufficient and to consolidate their positions within Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. Infected, looters, and deserters alike were executed without trial, occasionally shot on sight, and any refugees beyond family members of base personnel who could not demonstrate their usefulness who sought residence in the overpopulated military bases were turned away by word, and often if not more commonly, armed force. Reports of more lenient measures failing in Missouri, resulting in their brethren being overrun and forced to travel North to regroup with other outposts, only further radicalized high command's belief that intimidation tactics and picking their battles were the only way forward if they were to survive.

Since 1921, explain your history, including military expansion, and development.

Army​

The U.S.C.A. is compromised of a total sixteen inexperienced divisions largely geared towards a defensive and counterinsurgency capacity, each division being made up of three thousand men equipped with M1903 Springfield bolt-action rifles, plus an additional two thousand miscellaneous staff, for a grand total of fifty thousand soldiers. The 1st Garrison Division, 2nd Garrison Division, 3rd Garrison Division, 4th Garrison Division, 5th Garrison Division, 6th Garrison Division, 7th Garrison Division, and the 8th Garrison Division, are tasked with protecting and patrolling the borders, from the Dakotas to the Mississippi. The 1st Cavalry Division, 2nd Cavalry Division, 3rd Cavalry Division, and the 4th Cavalry Division, usually assist the border garrisons in their duties or maintain the internal order in a paramilitary fashion whenever they're not preoccupied spearheading expansion efforts as scrupulous scouts, practiced diplomats, and skilled law enforcement officers. Often, the 1st Infantry Division, and 2nd Infantry Division, in conjunction with the 1st Armored Division, and 2nd Armored Division, the latter driving T7 Combat Cars, awe outside communities into voting for annexation, entertain the masses in military parades, and lead offensives against the few warlords of the frontier unwilling to lay down their arms. The former usually has access to a variety of prewar weaponry simply unavailable to the common soldier due to their expense, rarity, and more often than not, difficulty if not impossibility to manufacture in postwar conditions.

Navy​

Comprised of three light cruisers and twenty-four assault craft, the navy is primarily tasked with patrolling Lake Superior and the Mississippi River, in addition to occasional offensives and punitive expeditions. Three thousand, six hundred, and fifty-seven personnel.

Air Force​

Consisting of two fighters and a bomber made after the collapse of the United States, the U.S.C.A.F. is staffed by one thousand, eight hundred, and twenty personnel.

Strengths and Weaknesses: Economic Powerhouse; the United States of Columbia has become one of, if not the, richest nation(s) of what is left of the world due to the final realization of years of aggressive financial policies and accelerated southward territorial expansion. Industrial Giant; many redevelopment programs initiated in the early years of the U.S.C. has resulted in a revitalized and in some areas burgeoning manufacturing sector. Strong Infrastructure; projects to restore and in some cases surpass the public amenities taken for granted before the collapse of the former United States in 1921 has not only made at minimum comforts of Great War life available for everyone that finds themselves lucky enough to be a citizen of the U.S.C., but additionally has resulted in a transportation and communication network capable of facilitating the rapid movement of people, goods, and information, respectively, across its vast expanse. Sanitary Society; a medical school prioritizing disease research and control was established by the joint efforts of the U.S.C. and the Curators in the early days of the collapse of the United States brought about the Great Flu has succeeded in limiting the spread of the infamous illness in the country, amongst other outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics. Untamed Frontier; the borders of the U.S.C. are largely lawless. Past attempts to staunch the trickle of narcotics, refugees, and the occasional bandit into the country, now only exasperated into a flood due its prosperity, have proven to be fruitless by ineffectual and understaffed security forces. Greenhorn Army; rushed into service after a training period of two weeks, faced with no serious enemy since its foundation, and often staffed with inexperienced officers, the ground component of the armed forces are wholly unprepared for conflict against anything more than warlords. Curator Paperclipping; the foremost research and development house of the U.S.C. has not only washed its hands of the fledgling nation state in recent years, but has added insult to injury by continually encouraging the defection of many of it's greatest minds since. Accordingly, the ability of Columbia to conduct any sort of study has been made effectively impossible through growing incompetence. Xenophobic Citizenry; Columbians, fed with two decades worth of largely equal parts fact and fiction about the savage and primitive disease-ridden existence of those who come from beyond their borders since the creation of their nation, view outsiders with suspicion and even outright hostility.

[General Deth Glitch]

General
Official Name: The British Empire
Informal Name: England/Britain
Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Currency: Pound Sterling, GBP
Territory: Will do but you know it
History: In 1920 the Flu Killed King George V and put Edward on the Throne at 26. At this time he was not mature enough to realise he couldn't live an extravegant lifestyle with the balance of power as it was in Britain and instead of trying to live a simpler life he attempted to consolidate power. With Limited success early on, using the current climate as an excuse to pass bills that provided the Royals with more de-facto power to match the de-jure power they had. Making more decisions, divisions and other discretionary procedures go through him and his advisers. As Parliament began to realise what he was doing and attempted to oppose him he had already rallied the majority of the surviving forces of the Empire under his direct control, however among Edwards advisers there was a large number who saw Edwards inability to rule and lead effectively and began to back a new horse, his brother Albert. While Albert was far from a war leader he did have military training as a Naval Officer and a sound understanding of the basics but also a good grasp of politics despite his lisp. With Edwards birth in 1927 came the start of the Second Civil War. Albert, now being referred to as King George VI by the defective advisers and most of parliament stormed many of the Royal Palaces and occupied much of London. Seeing that the act had caught him off guard he knew he couldn't quell it quickly and brought his forces south of the Themes. He quickly pushed Georges forces back to the north side of the River. For nearly a year this war continued in London and flattened many of London's most prominent buildings, especially those along the Themes. It was clear to many that Edward had little chance to win as George had sweeped the Navy up under him and had a notable advantage in numbers. As skirmishes battered Londons streets excess troops swept in from the south west and cut off more and more of Edwards supply as the Navy patrolled the South East to ensure no supplies found there way to Edwards troops. 3rd of February 1928, Edward surrendered and was cut off from the Royal Family and shipped off to America. While much of Edwards legal work to consolidate power still remained Law George and, after his death in 1938, his Daughter Elizabeth II respected the will of the people and only rarely opposed the will of Parliament partly helped by the reforms by Edward that increased the number of Hereditary Peers in the House of Lords to 1000, however flu has once more reduced that back to around 800 where it originally stood, and limited the number of life peers the Prime Minister could create to 2 a year. The incredibly London Centric war, however, lead to the loss of much of the nation as the winds of revolution expanded out from the North east of England and off to the four corners as Working Class communities tried to form their own governments, many of which failed and were replaced with dictatorships but the 'Workers Commonwealth of Durham and York' which expanded even further then those two counties and into many more had limited success before it was conquered by the Empire and its leadership branded 'Traitors of the Crown' and shot in the Palace Green in Durham.
[WIP below here]
Military
Army. Moderately well trained and not lacking in public support or soldiers its equipment is lacking, cheap and increasingly unreliable.
Navy. Exceptional, world class in both equipment and training. Since the Great War and the Plague that followed its numbers are lacking but quickly on the rise again.
Air. While a relatively new concept for the world to grasp Britain has embraced it, seeings its value as an aid to the Navy.

Naval Ships:
1 battleship
4 destroyers
2 submarines
1 light cruiser
15 Assault Craft


Traits
Strengths:
Naval Doctrine. Britains strength has always been hidden in two locales, the first of this is its navy. To ensure the continuation of the British Empire and its resurgance from this time of strife focus on this will not cease.
Islands Away. Its second great strength that allowed it to dominate up until the Great War was its position as an Island, despite its many large and land based colonies its center, the 'Home Islands' were always the administrative core and could always survive without them, though not without cost. Its physical isolation allowed it to focus on its navy as fear of invasion was little and a large navy only served to minimise it.
Voice of Reason. Despite its history of violence and oppression, since the latter half of the 19th century it has become known as a progressive nation willing to work toward a more globally invested world, being the first to do away with slavery and having large socialist movements before and during the Great War. Its ability to listen to the will of its people while also maintaining a monarchy is still a rare sight and its determination to invest itself in solving world issues is no small act.

Weaknesses:
Atrocious Army. While its navy is a global standard and golden example of how to succeed its army often lacks, while not lacking in training its troops are ill equipped either using out of date equipment or guns more likely to shoot you when you put them down then shoot the enemy when you want to.
Meddling Master. Due to its past imperial tenancies and more recent investment in the worlds issues, many nations see Britain as more of a meddling force intent on exerting the force of their old empire despite its fall. Irregardless of the fact that its intentions are almost always to garner peace and world prosperity. This is more prevalent in more extreme or conservative governments.
Socialism on the Rise. Despite the world viewing its socialist beginnings at this time as a good thing many both within and without see a weakness there that allows rise to extremest groups on both sides as well splitting the parliament into two parties that are rapidly becoming more radical themselves in order to stave off extremists

Leaders and Key Figures

PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PRUSSIA



General
Population: 15 Million
Official Name: People's Republic of Prussia
Official Shorthand: PRP
Informal Name: Prussia
Government:

Spoiler: De Leonism

The previous government would then be replaced with a government elected from within the socialist industrial unions and the newly elected socialist government would quickly enact whatever constitutional amendments or other changes in the structure of government needed to bring this about, adjourning sine die. Workers on the shop floor would elect local shop floor committees needed to continue production and representatives to local and national councils representing their particular industry.
Workers would also elect representatives to a central congress, called an All-Industrial Congress, which would effectively function as the national government. These representatives would be subject to a recall vote at any time.

Currency: The Volksmark was established in 1922.
Territory: A snapshot of the territory you control
History:
As 1920 came and went, so the continued existence of the German Empire slowly disappeared. Throughout the war, Germany both dealt and received heavy punishment. Several million had died by the war's halfway point in Europe alone, and the number continued to climb. How could Germany have its advanced stalled by Russia, whom was inferior in every way but number and was busy with Austria-Hungary? How did the western front advance, only to hit a brick wall of defenses far before Paris? It was the alliances, the massive, confusing chain of alliances that tied up every power in multiple conflicts, never able to win one. In the winter of 1920/1921, the German Empire began its collapse. The borders became warped and shrunken, and the military erupted in heavy enough infighting to halt any of its own offenses, barely defending Germany from invasion. With the civilian population struggling with the Great Epidemic and the prospect of being harmed by their own military, the nation rose in revolt. From Königsberg to Hamburg to Berlin, millions stopped serving the failing Government. In an attempt to save what he could of his nation, Kaiser Wilhelm II was one of the remaining leaders who initiated and signed the Armistice. But it was too late. With the socialist and communist uprisings being crushed by foreign governments, the thousands who remained largely fled to nearby Germany, and violently rallied the populace with flags and banners of red. The socialists gained control of the crumpling government and established a new regime, for monarchical and democratic nations had both fallen, and a socialist nation was the last hope for a permanent nation. It was because of how radical the movement was, and how many sided the internal military strife was, that the entirety of western and southern Germany separated from the new socialist state, before fracturing into chaos and local warlords. It was in 1922 that the people took their final steps into establishing the world's first syndicalist nation.

Traits
Strengths:
Bathed in Red- Strong and mostly uncontested support for the far left, and hopes for a permanent state that unlike the monarchies and democracies will never fall. It is because of these that the people are unified in two kinds of patriotism, one for their region/nation, and a second for their unique government. The people here typically maintain their morale longer than others.
German Engineering- During the war Germany had to deploy innovative equipment in order to combat the numerical advantage of the allied forces. The most important of these innovations was making its weaponry of better quality than its enemies. Guns will take a bit more punishment/interference before jamming, breaking, etc. and great war equipment is still reliable and good for training/militias, if not outdated.
A Happy People- The common people determine everything from how their local factory is run to who is in the central congress. The workers enjoy the large amount of influence they have, and want to spread this to chaotic provinces and foreign nations alike.


Weaknesses:
Bureaucratic Mess- Strictly following procedure keeps the populace supportive and happy, but it breeds inefficiency, some infighting, and the occasional struggle of the mostly defunct non-congressional government against the Industrieller Kongress.​

Opposites Don't Attract- Syndicalism is definitely at odds at capitalism, which makes interacting with other nations automatically more difficult. Even individual Prussians would have a hard time being with foreigners. Its like a doctor and a vet talking to each other, but the doctor thinks the vet is stupid for not helping people instead of animals, and vice versa. This is different from the country having an isolationist or aggressive diplomatic stance, even more so because the people feel the same way.
Economics 101 Is Not Available In Your Region- The state tends to use up some of the money meant for competition with foreign powers and industry for itself and the people. The fact that it is a command economy, while better for executing massive goals, is overall debilitating and often leads to a dangerously low supply/shortage of something important far too much of the time.

Leaders and Key Figures

Name: Erich Honecker
Age: 35
Significance: Head of the Volkspartei (People's Party), the sole Prussian political party, whose main concern is maintaining and growing support for themselves. While he gets to shuffle around important documents and have some influence in general, he can scarcely accomplish anything alone without violating some law or another.​

Canyonlands Confederation (WIP)

Population: 450,000

Official Name: Confederation of Nations of the Canyonlands

Informal Name: Canyonlands, Redrock

Government:
A confederation of nations with varying government forms, in name united under the banner of the Confederation but in reality just as likely to fight each other as any outside force. The leaders of the three main members all have the title "President of the Confederation" and rule jointly, though in practice the leader of Deseret is the most influential. The member nations are as follows:

The State of Deseret is a pseudo-democratic authoritarian theocracy. It is led by a council of Mormon leaders and is quickly solidifying its influence in the Confederation.

The State of Nevada is the remnant government of Nevada that is trying to just uphold the old way of life and old American way of government. However, it is encountering difficulties and Deseret's reaching for power is making it even harder.

Arizona is divided into the Union of Phoenix which is a center-left state succumbing to Deseretian influence and the Gadsden Protectorate which is a chunk of southern Arizona ruled by a governor jointly appointed by the leaders of Nevada, Deseret, and Phoenix. The New Mexico Protectorate and the Rockies Protectorate (Colorado) are also governed this way.

Currency: The American Dollar is being phased out and replaced with the Canyonlands Dollar, which is similar in design but tan in color and using faces of people like Brigham Young.

Territory:


History: With the collapse of the United States of America, the Southwest was thrown into temporary chaos. Bandits and outlaws roamed, attacking small towns and settlements. The Wild West had returned in the chaos of war and disease. However, as state governments adapted and reformed to fit the new world, they realized they would need to band together to combat these threats. With a treaty signed at Saint George, Utah, the governments of Nevada, Deseret, and Pheonix created the Confederation of Nations of the Canyonlands. With a great violent purge often called the Cowboy War, the raiders and bandits were expelled from the core territories with brutal force. Through the 1930s, Southern Arizona and Western Colorado and New Mexico were annexed, though they still are under Protectorate status until their scavenger infestations can be eliminated. Deseret has been slowly but surely granting more privileges to its Mormon citizens and consolidating the power of the Church, as well as making efforts to push the other members of the Confederation further under their boot.

Military
The Canyonlands Army has approximately 8,000 members, armed largely with Winchester 94 rifles. The Confederacy has a very small number of tanks and armored vehicles, and its air force is largely civilian planes refitted with machine guns or limited bombing capability. To augment the small army, almost 30,000 men and women are part of "Frontier Militias", which are organizations with endorsement from the state to organize and train for battle. These Frontier Militias are necessary to protect the small towns and settlements of the desert from raiders taking advantage of the chaos after the great plague and wars. The Militias can only be used against another nation in defense of the Confederacy and are not to be used in any offensive wars or maneuvers.

Traits
Strengths:
The New Wild West: The Canyonlands Confederacy has the spirit of the West flowing through every one of its citizens. The Confederacy has extensive knowledge of rebuilding and settling both the land they already control, and the lands they have set their sights on.
Armed Nation: The West has always been rough, but its people have always been rougher. Almost every household in the West is armed, and they will protect themselves from bandits and invaders alike.
Pre-Scorched Earth: The Confederacy's land is harsh and often barren, which is both a blessing and a curse. Invading armies will have extreme difficulty finding food and supplies, while the locals know the land and will be able to survive on it.

Weaknesses:
Bandits and Raiders: The Confederacy has a serious issue with looters, bandits, and scavengers in its lands. They raid settlements and towns, and while the Frontier Militias help the problem is far from gone.
Mormon Meddling: The Mormons meddling in other members of the Confederacy may centralize the nation in the long run, but at the moment it is making the State of Nevada and the Union of Phoenix nervous, less stable, and suspicious. If the true extent of Deseret's actions are revealed before their plan is complete, it could lead to civil war.
Barren Land: A very large portion of the Confederacy is desert. The Confederacy will need to get more farmland and food if it wants to truly expand.

[Kersey]

Official Name: Mongol(ian) Khaganate/Empire
Informal Name: Mongolia
Government: Elective Monarchy
Currency: The Mongolian Tugrik was implemented on December 9, 1925.
Population: 2,590,000
Horse Population: 5,957,000
Territory:

History: In 1921, Roman von Ungern-Sternberg and his Asiatic Cavalry Division liberated Mongolia from the Chinese occupation, establishing the Bogd Khanate in its place. The Bogd Khan would rule peacefully until his death in 1924, the Influenza Virus having protected the nation from its neighbors. He was succeeded by the young and charismatic Prince Demchugdongrub, who won the support of the khans at a Kurultai in the ruins of Karakorum by promising to restore the Lord Genghis Khan's Empire. A few months after his coronation, Teh Khan quickly liberated Inner Mongolia from the token garrison there still loyal to the Beiyang Government. The past 23 years have been spent developing the nation and its army, the highlight of this being the opening of a small munitions factory in the newly repopulated capital of Karakorum.

Military

Imperial Mongolian Army: The Imperial Mongolian Army has 30,000 Professional Soldiers which are divided into three Cavalry tumens (divisions), and 500,000 Reservists. The standard firearm of an Imperial Mongolian Soldier is the Mosin-Nagant 1891/30, with an additional M1907 Carbine being carried by Cavalrymen.

Imperial Mongolian Guard: The Imperial Mongolian Guard, commonly referred to as the Kheshig, consists of 11,000 personnel which perform a number of duties for the Khagan. It is comprised of several units, each of which is led by a Cherbi (Supreme Commander) who answers directly to the Great Khan. The largest unit is the Khorchin, an elite mounted infantry tumen of 10,000 soldiers from the Khorchin peoples. Although it operates fairly mediocre equipment, the Khorchin are extremely well-trained and unconditionally loyal to the Great Khan. The Khevtuul are the secret police of the Khaganate, they number around 900 agents and are willing to allow trusted foreigners into their ranks. The Torguud are the personal bodyguards of the Khan of Khans, it is made up of 100 Torghut tribesmen handpicked by the Emperor.

Significance: Demchugdongrub Khan was coronated by a Kurultai in the ruins of Karakorum on July 17th, 1924 at the age of 22 following the death of the Bogd Khan. He has since proven to be a capable leader, seizing control of Inner Mongolia from the Beiyang Government in 1925. The people have rallied behind his Pan-Mongol views, with some believing he is a reincarnation of the Lord Genghis Khan.

The Russian Empire



GENERAL​

Population: 20 million
Official Name: Empire of Russia
Informal Name: Russia, White Russia, Czarist Russia, Loyalist Russia, Integralist Russia
Government: Constitutional Monarchy, consisting of a very powerful executive in the Tsar and/or Tsarina, a low legislature called the Duma, and a high legislature called the Boyarin Senate
Currency: Russian Ruble

​

History:
Following the Armistice and the outbreak of the Spanish Flu, Russia was devastated. Civil unrest due to the repressive policies of the Tsar and the incompetence of the Duma and Governing Senate dissolved as the armies and cities of the empire were racked with influenza. In only a few years, the population of European Russia was diminished by 60%. The accumulation of bodies caused other public health problems, and led to the creation of brigades of citizens who spent all day cremating remains. The crematoriums outside Moscow and the ash piles of Yakkaterinburg, Novgorod, Smolensk, and Belgograd remain today as a testament to the sheer quantity of dead from the Spanish flu, which spread easily in the cold Russian air.

During this time, the Tsar and his family remained sequestered in a country estate near Brest, Belarus. When the worst of the epidemic was over, Nicholas II reentered Moscow at the head of a beleaguered Russian Army. His reemergence corresponded with an increasing breakdown in political ties between the various Russian provinces. With food supplies and communications disrupted, many of the regions beyond Moscow and St. Petersburg had stopped deferring to the Duma and Governing Senate and had begun governing themselves independently. The independent boyars were a powerful political group and, fearing war, Nicholas promised the rebel boyars self-government in exchange for symbolic oaths of fealty. Nicholas remained obstinate that he was the Czar of All the Russias until his death in 1938. Since the ascension of Alexei Nikolaevich to the throne, the Russian polity has struggled to overcome the chronic starvation and industrial underdevelopment that has plagued it since before the war. With a greater degree of power returned to the boyars, a more feudalistic system of economics and governance has emerged in the Integralist Russian territories as well as the Independent Russias.

MILITARY​

The military of the Russian Empire is divided into several "districts" under the control of the Ministry of Defense. The districts are the Ground Forces, Aero Forces, and the Navy. Because of economic underdevelopment, the Russian Empire utilizes a lot of infantry and armored cavalry with a few support vehicles. Their air force consists mostly of attack planes, strategic bombers, and scout planes, and their navy is a cold-water fleet composed primarily of submarines and light cruisers.

The standard issue rifle of the Russian Army is the bolt-action Mosin-Nagant infantry rifle, and the Maxim gun is still the most commonly used machine gun in their arsenal, although the Federov-Avtomat m1916 has seen some service in fireteams of two men where the gunner with the FA-16 will be accompanied by an ammunition bearer wielding an Arisaka rifle which uses the same ammunition.

TRAITS​

Strengths:

Strength in Numbers: The Russian Empire is highly populous by post-outbreak standards and can field large amounts of infantry in warfare.
Defenders of the Faith: The heavy reliance on the Russian Orthodox Church as a vehicle for social stability in the wake of the war, disease, and attempted coup has led to rising birthrates and a renewed sense of divine purpose to invigorate the Russian people.
Boreal Empire: The Russian winter and the vast size of their rump state still discourages prolonged offensive campaigns into their territories.

Weaknesses:

Underindustrialized: Russia is chronically industrially underdeveloped. Civilian and military production are hampered and supply lines are hard to maintain across long stretches of territory.
The Road Back to Serfdom: A return to a more feudalistic economic system with greater control for the boyarin has enflamed sentiments and led to increased tension in peasant populations.
The Chill of Death: The cold air of the Russian environ allows for the influenza virus to spread and remain airborne for much longer periods of time, increasing the lethality of contemporary outbreaks.

República de Orinoco
The Republic of Orinoco
Tributo a los Pirineos - National Anthem

Overview
The Orinocan Republic has a total population of 6,408,350, who live within the Orinoco river's drainage basin, between the highlands of Guiana and the Colombian mountains. It is ruled by a popularly elected parliament, headed by a People's Leader. Trade and expenditure is done using the Bolivar.

Spoiler: Territory

Spoiler: Traits

Strengths
+ Blood of the People: Orinocans have a heritage of popular power- in Venezuela and Colombia, figures could be ousted by an armed revolution and a well-placed riot. The military is strong, but never forgets where they came from.
+ The (Latin) American Dream: Sugar, wood, oil- the land is rich, and the state knows this- trade drives the economy.
+ Ghosts of Amazonia: Even if the inhabitants aren't natives, any invaders will have to contend with the horror of the jungle and the mountains.



Weaknesses

- Treasure Fleets: The merchant ships that hold up export wishes are at the whims of foreign naval powers.
- Incan Technology: Much like the doomed natives, the Orinocans will have to play technological catch-up to survive a war with Europeans or Americans.
- Marco Beth: Politics, no matter how democratic, are subject to the barrel of a gun or the mouth of a demogogue.

History
The history of Orinoco is best described as the history of northern Latin America and in particular, Venezuala- after the crisis of 1902, in which the President Cipriano Castro refused to pay foreign debt to countries that had suffered damages indirectly through the Civil War in 1863, trade grew between the US and the country, to make up for the decrease of shipping toward Europe. Meanwhile, Colombian politics was dominated by bloody civil strife such as the Thousand Days War, which, combined with lower coffee prices, put a great deal of stress on both countries, as they became quite unable to fit a foot into exporting to Europe- oil sales kept these states afloat.

American trade and anti-European immigration laws appeared to be a saving grace, given the flu's rising tide, at least it appeared so- but as the States began to politically collapse, and the disease hit the land of opportunity from immigrants, refugees flooded south into Central America... who themselves fled away into South America.
The Flu wouldn't strike until late 1921, but the social effects of it were enormous on Colombia and Venezuala, the first two stops into Latin America. Juan Gomez of Venezuela demanded the Colombian government give their support to prevent further immigration, while also ignoring the growing disease of his populace, much to the demise of the civilians.

It was too late to protest or to request anything- military leaders and dissatisfied politicians rejected Gomez and took a large portion of Venezuela and some segments of rural Colombia for the terrified people of both countries, essentially leaving Venezuela with a swathe of the invalids, and Colombia with over-population. The new state seceded a portion of healthy Venezuela (the Lago de Maracaibo) in exchange for the rural area, as warfare was simply not an option.

The city of Caracas served as the new capital, with existing administrative structures and a natural line of defence against any incursions to Orinocan independence.

Spoiler: Arturo Gutiérrez

Age: 41

Leader of the Orinocan Republic via the Acción Democrática - Democratic Action, in opposition to the Seven-Foot Movement, a nationalist and expansionist political party. He is also, by extent, the mariscal del estado, the highest ranking military commander. He took 6,500 infantry and around 100 armoured vehicles to break Venezuelan resistance, kicking out loyalist troops and securing a defensive border for the fleeing civilians, some of whom assisted with logistical operations.

Spoiler: Carlos Felipe Andrés

Age: 58
Head of DA's Finance Office- a Venezuelan by birth, and the essential right-hand of Gutiérrez, due to his effective administration that was shown during the early years of the revolution. Previous to his initiation into the Republic's formation, he was "under investigation" for no particular reason, aside from the money that was being pulled from public banks under his supervision to subsidise foreign companies. Having left evidence of this, he couldn't be left free to walk. Given little choice, he convinced Arturo to throw the country into chaos as part of a series of meetings, stealing thousands in the process to fund the new state.

Spoiler: Max Aletrino

Age: 51
Tribunal Leader of the highest court, by virtue of being a paid-off Dutch lawyer who helped cover any criminal tracks of the new government, allowing Andrés to form trade deals between the government and existing companies (at least those that didn't abandon the country post-plague). He extended the prosecution of Andrés to allow him to conspire outside of prison, while advising Gutiérrez on avoiding arrests himself.

Military
30,000 active rifle-armed infantry

Spoiler: Infantry

Orinocan troops are divided into the following groups:

1st Division - Caracas​

2nd Division - San Juan de los Morros​

3rd Division - Coro e Barquisimeto​

Each division of 10,000 has 900 administrative and supply staff, who handle wages, food, and help manage large-scale movements in peace time. During war, the divisions are more autonomous to avoid being slowed down, and a portion of the staff serve as reserve officers in case of war.
The common infantry man is equipped with the following:

Brodie-style steel helmet, usually painted dark yellow or green. Insulated against heat on the inside. Troops sometimes wear garrison caps or other forms of light hat in opposition to the unnecessary weight of the helmet.
Thin khaki battle dress, with large pockets- buttoned.​

Black mud-boots, heavy for the average person due to the material used to protect the feet from unwanted piercing, moisture or heat, etc, that can put troops at unnecessary risk.​

A Karabiner 98k variant produced in Orinoco, along with 15 stripper clips - 75 rounds in total.​

A set of Galilean-optic bionculars​

A curved knife, sheathed and fixed to the leather belt on the battle dress.​

​

Infantry are trained in large isolated wilderness with a centre of temporary barracks, often put through conditions similar to that of a potential combat area- being taught to deal with the potential of low rations, disciplining themselves to fight in such an environment, maximising their combat ability in a stressful situation.
After a multi-week period of such training, they are reserved to city bases and can act as guards if on duty. The government and generals can call on them to be retrained and redrilled if a war is expected.

During any on-duty movements and preparations, they are supported by logistics groups. Due to the difficulty of potentially reaching troops in dangerous territory, soldiers are expected to maintain their defences, lead their own supply chains and prepare for improvised management such as field hospitals, sometimes even in peace-time.

10,000 "assault" troops- submachine-gunners.
4,400 logistics land vehicles (trucks, etc.) - with servicemen (9,000 in total)
50 combat land vehicles;

40 armoured scout cars, based on existing American truck designs​

10 British Cruiser Mk1 tanks​

200 towed 20 cm howitzer guns (the towing vehicles are not included in above stats)
50 specialised anti-air crews- made up of 4-man groups that travel with infantry or fast armour. Armed with medium 10mm machine guns.

100 combat air vehicles;

All Potez 630 twin-engine heavy fighters​

4 coastal defence ships
16 Private merchant ships, state-supported and defended by a fleet of 8 destroyers, armed with four 12-pounder guns and light anti-air.

History: The Caribbean is a young nation having been formed in 1925 after many states have abandoned many of the islands after the flu. Many of the islands weren't effected badly because of their isolation. The healthiest islands formed a Federation. After many years people returned to the most affected islands. Now the population grows steadily in the Federation.

5 Close air support
Traits
Strengths:
Fortress: Hard to invade because it a large collection of islands. Every island has a sea fort which defends and on a moments whim the general population can be called into a Militia.
Banana republic: Currently largest exporter of bananas. Bananas are the main economic good of the Caribbean, making up a big chunk of their GDP. Bananas can't be grown anywhere which makes the a good product to mass produce.
Unified: Same religion and languages throughout federation. A majority of the population knows English because they decided that would be the Lingua Franca of their federation. Having been colonized by Christian nations makes them all Christians which means their is little to no religious conflict. At the start of the Federation there has been a little resistance for independence mainly from Cuba. That has been suppressed and over the years totally forgotten as the new Generation is more nationalistic towards the Federation.
Weaknesses:
Disconnected: Because it is a collection of islands it takes a long time to travel from one to another. The main way to travel between islands is by boat which is very costly. Even though they are trying to make progress on infrastructure it will take a long time.
Limited Space: Because they're living on an island you can only expand so much. Small islands are too small to support a lot of people. Cuba is the largest but the rest are unable to sustain a very high population.
No major mining industries: There are no major mining exports so the Federation has to depend on Sugar, Banana and Coffee exports. The Federation is mainly a agriculture nation except for a few industries( Shipbuilding, Weapon Manufacturing)

Traits

Strengths: The power and influence of the universal church has reached a height never before seen in its glorious yet arduous history. His holiness presently commands a devoted following of hundreds of millions of people with the assistance of a colossal ecclesiastical network which spans the globe. The hundreds of thousands of brave clergymen lost in the battle against the influenza have not been forgotten and there are now millions willing to make the same sacrifice in the service of his holiness.

Weaknesses: The State of the Church is a government plagued with rampant corruption as well as countless instances of the abuse of clerical power. The transformation from a religious organization to a governing body has created a disparate nation only kept together through sheer will, fanatical zeal, and the inquisition.

THE UNION OF ISRAEL
מדינת ישראל
إسرائيل


​

Population: 3.4 million

Official Name: The Union of Israel
Informal Name: Israel

Government: Parliamentary Republic of 300 people. Usually casually balanced around 150 Jewish and 150 Muslim citizens. Each reason has a good amount of autonomy, allowing the Israeli government to hold on to different cultures and religions rather well.

The administrative capitol is in Jerusalem, while the judicial capitol is in Damascus.

Currency: the Israeli Dinar was implemented in 1925 by the president Azaria Saltzmann and the Muslim Prime Minister Shaheer el-Salame. Ever since then it has been the main currency of the Israeli state

Territory:

History: in the 19-teen's, as the world was degenerating, a mass migration of all sorts of faiths flocked to the old lands. It was in this time the basis of the cities of "New Nicosia" and "Ar-Shalah" had started growing in size (more on that later). While the men flocked, a bitter devide grew as the disease spread and mysticism grew on both sides of the divide as Christian and Jewish factions emerged aswell as Muslim and Druze. After a short but deadly war in 1925, peace was established as the Arabs had been crushed by the combined forces. On the treaty of Tel Aviv in 11 November 1925, the state of Israel was formally established. Soon after the Charter of Israel was formally signed into law, and thus the autonomous regions of Palestine was made, much to the praise of many Muslims within the nation.

Soon after came the age of expansion. Much to the wishes of both the Muslim and the Jewish communities, the Suez canal was seized by Israeli troops from a weak confederation of Egyptian states, and a peace signed thereafter. Shorty later the city of Damascus was taken, and thus many parades ensued with the Israeli flag and the subsequent flag of the new region of Assyria. Only recently was the territories of Jordania and South Cyprus established, and by that the two have met resistance with formal writing into the republic, the only reason why they are not formalized into states.

THE HAGANAH and SAAMIRA FORCES
מָגֵן
سميرة

The Haganah has been around since the early teens, as originally a militia formed by the Jewish communities in Palestine. Since then, it has only grown stronger. The Saamira forces (named after the Muslim general within Israel, Saamir al-Ghanem) are relatively new and usually more green. Both have an extremely heavy influence of learning small-scale warfare over larger warfare, something learned in both the Sinai war and the Cyprus war. A staple of the Republic is all soldiers learn a fighting style named "Krav Mga", developed only recently in 1929.

Traits​

Strengths:
Intense Training: Israeli soldiers are usually some of the most perceptive, with tried-and-true tactics made and learned the hard way. This gives them an edge in many key situations in city warfare
True Economists: The economists of Israel are top-notch, with ties to banks all over Europe and a history going back to the middle ages. Although defunct, this could very well make Israel the center of banking in Europe in the coming years of re-emergence. This also gives them excellent control over the treasury of their nation.
Bridge the Divide!: For some reason, the Israelis have learned to be very good at administratively linking together regions speaking Arabic and Hebrew. Whether this comes from excellent planning or necessity, nobody truly knows.

Weaknesses:
Recovering Powederkeg: Ever since the original millions of settlers, the state of Israel has been in a recovering deadlock of Islam vs. Christianity and Judaism. Although drastically better than ten years ago, the Israeli state is still not in the best spot. A few wrong words could send the two populations into civil war.
Military Language Barrier: Precisely the reason as to two different military groups, Hebrew and Arabic aren't too similar. Thus is why a large-scale war could suffer many, many drawbacks for the Israeli State
Succession Problems: The newly-gained provinces of Cyprus and Jordan are very, very resistant to becoming part of the union. Wrong moves may result in the nation becoming embroiled in a succession crisis
