“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones" was a quote said by the Late Albert Einstein, he was at least half wrong. We as a human race survived World War Three without major nuclear Devastation. This though, does not mean Humans as a whole where not beaten down after the war, during and slightly after the war, nations fell and new rivalries where made. The East vs West rivalry that defined the 1900s and early 2000s are no longer how the world lines are drawn. Smaller alliances are made amongst nations, with group against group, nation against nation, this Newer World Order might be worse then the world we just escaped. The end of an Era is upon us, no longer will the diplomacy of the world be forced upon us by Great Powers, for now the nations are close to equal power.
Welcome to Our Unstable World, the spiritual successor to Age of Rebirth. This RP will be taking place after the most destructive conflict in human history, this conflict was World War 3.

- Carbon-nanotubes: Their diverse properties make them potentially the building block of all near-future technology. They can be cathalists for various reactions, electrodes and the heart of computer systems (replacing silicon chips). They are also rather light yet strong which makes them important for buildings and vehicles. Cost-wise they'll be only marginally more expensive than steel if all costs are cut back with its massed use.
- Energy Storage: CNT-based batteries and supercapacitors will be smaller for the same stored power which is already a boon. In addition CNT makes fuel cell tech viable, somewhat expensive but a possible option for anything that consumes a lot of power. If larger energy densities are needed then they can use antimatter storage but such methods would be obviously expensive and only used in the most expensive cases. Think of the latter as this RP's equivalent of nuclear reactors. Basically you should be able to design storages with the capacity of a car battery but size as small as an ammo clip. Fuel cells can also allow you to substitute typical fuels for electricity if you want to.
- Fusion Reactors: At last this technology would be plausible during this RP. The question is about the scale. Neutron radiation hazard may also limit how small we are willing to build these (since you need some distance and shielding to avoid that issue). So nuclear-powered tanks might be an unlikely scenario still.
- Directed Energy Weapons: They won't be anywhere as convenient as shown in sci-fi. They fail as effective conventional weapons compared to guns. On the other hand they could be cheap (when compared to ordnance, not to handheld firearms) and certain types of radiation would require special protection. As such it'd be effective at disabling electronics or affecting soldiers regardless their protection. The question is whether radiation-weapons would be considered humane enough to avoid it being internationally banned.
- Railguns, coilguns: Oh yes, these will be there. Electromagnetic propulsion will be on the rise. Of the two designs railguns have more potential at smaller scales. With the advance of electronics though I'm not sure whether rails or coilguns are more efficient at large scales. It's up to you. Anyways, railguns with sufficient money and sophistication can replace any firearm we have. The difference would be important yet far from OP.
- Mechs, Walkers, Power Armors: Yeah, with some decades of sophistication and the energy issues solved you can start thinking about your walking vehicles and cool powered armors. Don't think you can build anything like the Gundam, though. Your soldiers may carry more with powered exoskeletons but they are no Ironman, either. Walker vehicles also have several issues in general but I think our nice and benevolent GM would make bits of allowances so long it isn't anything OP.
- Antimatter: The immense energy densities of antimatter would be necessary for certain technologies (especially the nukes). To get this you'd need colliders and particle accelerators designed for this purpose and even then the process would be very wasteful in energy so antimatter would remain expensive. Though you don't need too much of this to begin with. As for storage either electromagnetic traps (ie: Penning Trap) or using fullerenes/CNTs and their electron-dense structure to keep anti-protons. The latter would have a nice potential because you can store the mix as an inert black powder and can "activate" it by just burning it, which is amazing. This makes the "antimatter powder" simple to use and can be even an alternative for space rocket fuels.
- Pure Nukes: By either using lasers or bits of antimatter it's possible to start fusion without leaving behind nuclear fallout. In addition this makes it plausible to scale down nukes to almost any size, especially with the "antimatter powder" idea from above. All you need is a well-designed bomb casing, some explosives, tiny amounts of "antimatter powder" and tanks of liquid hydrgogen or other material you use for fusions. These methods also save up weight compared to older designs so a strategic warhead may even weigh below a ton.

Well I joined the original one and it was fun so I'll gladly join this one.
Glad to see you back man, glad to see your interest.
Yup, like I said before you've got a guaranteed player in me.
Awesome!
Also, I'd like to say that I'll be changing something else from the original trilogy, the world is entering a new "space age" with the ability to set up colonies on Mars and the moon just being gained by nations.
This series is a semi-long running continuation. The original Age of Rebirth was similar to a supernova in how it grew so powerful but its light was quickly extinguished.
It has been 4 months since the original Age of Rebirth.

Kingdom of Neo Hungaria
Quick Summary
Name: Regni Novum Hungaricum, Kingdom of Neo Hungaria, Az Új Magyar Királyság Type of Government: Constitutional Monarchy Territories:Check out in the link Territory Claims: Hungary, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, bits of Austria and Ukraine Population: 83,234,202 (according to the 2049 census) Demographics: 48.8% Hungarian, 34.1% Slavish, 4.7% Germanic, 12.4% Other Religion: 59.7% Christian, 12.6% Muslim, 6.8% Hindi/Buddhist, 3.2% Other and 17.7% Atheist
Fictional History
Starting from the recession in 2008 Hungary gradually became discontent with the European Union which eventually peaked in 2018 when suddenly the ultranationalist Hungarian Unity Novation party won the elections. Lead by Charles Esterhazy they soon left the union just before introducing the new currency and began to work on a new independent and strong country. This overall hurt the Hungarian international relations but the reforms also managed to fix the countless issues and inequalities which baned the country for decades. On the other hand Hungary gradually turned into something closer to a dictatorship lead by the HUN party. This incurred the disapproval of the other nations but given the current worldwide situation nobody had time to deal with Hungary. Then the war broke out, or more like a chaotic combination of several different wars which is now referred as World War III. China, EU, Russia, USA and countless more nations found themselves locked in the most destructive war of all history. All but Hungary which retained their neutrality through the whole time. As the war died down many nations were in ruins, a situation the Hungarian leadership immediately abused. Through the decades they were improving their military and in just a few months prior to the official end of World War III the Hungarian armies finally took action. In the name of correcting the injustice of Trianon they conquered all the neighboring countries at rapid pace, meeting only minimal resistance. By the peace talks in 2031 Hungary had already became as large as it used to be during WW1 if not even greater. Abusing the chaotic atmosphere Hungary even used this occasion to declare the legitimacy of their new nation, called Neo Hungaria. Inviting the current Duke of Croy (Reinhard), the last known descendant from House Árpád, to be Hungary's king they created the Kingdom of Neo Hungaria.
The first decade of the Kingdom was a troubled one, the ethnical-national friction was the source of various uprisings which the radical political party throttled with sheer might and resulted in bloodbaths. Yet gradually things were changing after the retirement of Reinhard and coronation of his son Mathias III. Unlike his father Mathias was a skilled politician and his reign brought stability. He promoted multiculturalism and a national identity which acknowledged everyone in the country regardless of their tongue or ethnicity as Hungarian. As such he turned around the ongoing nationalist propaganda and extended it to people who previously were viewed as the oppressed. This change eventually resulted in the current face of Neo Hungaria.
Politics/Society
As its name suggests Neo Hungaria is a monarchy ruled by their king. The current regent is Mathias III, aged 42. He's the son of the late king Reinhard von Croy and direct descendant of the Arpád Dynasty. He was born in Belgium but spent most of his life in Hungary and later adopted the name Korona Mátyás (Mathias Crown). The main decision-making body of Neo Hungaria is the Parliament which is mostly dominated by the right-wing Hungarian Unity Novation (HUN) party albeit their authority is far less absolute compared to the past. In every four years the members of the Parliament are decided by vote although the system isn't completely clean. Hungarian is the the country's official language albeit given the large diversity of ethnicities and nationalities within Neo Hungaria they also support schools in other languages and people can do administrative duties in up to 11 tongues. Multiculturalism is prevalent albeit Hungarians subtly still enjoy some preferential treatment.
Economy
Neo Hungaria remained neutral through the entire length of WW3 which allowed them to survive these years relatively intact. Their neighbors were not so lucky and as Neo Hungaria conquered them it also had an impact on their economy. Their conquest was fueled by nationalist propaganda about restoring Hungary of the past yet in effect it also bore strategic importance. Many of the old kingdom's richest agricultural fields and allocation of natural resources were held by foreign countries. Reparations and war-waging costs were expensive but turned out to be rewarding on the long run. With these Neo Hungaria became an economic powerhouse compared to the rest of Europe. They have rich mountains abundant in materials, oil fields and excellent farmlands. Due to the latter they also invested considerable effort in producing various biofuels thus allowing them to be close to self-sufficient. Export of food and materials is one of their largest source of income.
Even prior to WW3 Hungary was keeping pace with other nations when it came to science and technology. This only accelerated after the formation of Neo Hungaria. The nation's economy multiplied more than tenfold and this had a drastic impact on technology and industry. Nowadays Neo Hungaria is one of the most developed nations in the world. In spite of their size compared to the various superpowers, Neo Hungaria is one of the top producers of carbon-nanotubes and other nanoconstructed chemicals.
Military
Ever since its conception Neo Hungaria put emphasis on their military and with a good reason. Even after its numerous territorial acquisitions Neo Hungaria was surrounded by giant nations that threatened their existence. As such compared to its neighbors Neo Hungaria is more militarized and their military expenses (along with R&D) reach as high as 21% of their budget. Along with the technological and industrial boom, Neo Hungaria also devoted great resources into arming their forces with only national products. This resulted in a temporarily setback as the industry for making weapons was yet to be finished but by the 2040s this idea became a reality.
Military by numbers Active Soldiers: 712,000 Reserves: 2,888,000 (their status is unusual and more passive than in other armies) Military Police: 432,124 Tanks: 4,218 (~60% being the Bocskai III-V2) Military Land Vehicles Total: 52,812 (this includes everything, tanks, AFVs, SPGs, supply trucks, etc) Fighters: 628 (practically all of them are 6th generation craft or even 6.5th generation) Drone Aircraft: 4284 (not counting the portable UAVs carried by vehicles and infantry) Aircraft Total: 8372 Warships: 32 (including anything at destroyer size or above save for aircraft carriers) Aircraft Carriers: 6 Submarines: 60 Naval Vessels Total: 420
Infantry:
Neo Hungaria's infantry is known for their high quality equipment. Manufactured by FÉG-ARMY they wear advanced protective suit made of CNT and other nanomaterials to offer considerable and full-body protection (including against radiation and chemical attacks) while the sensors and helmet offers enhanced information feed and situational awareness on the battlefield. Their current standard armament is the FÉG-K42 guns, one of the first mass-produced railgun carbines in the world. It fires the then standardized 4x16mm "dart" projectiles at the velocity of around 1500m/s and adjustable rate of fire usually ranging between 120 to 15000 RPM depending on how each mode is programmed. Power source is a compact CNT-supercapacitor with the nominal energy content of 4 kWh which is theoretically enough for over 5000 shots thus in general the only limiting factor the amount of ammo of which a railgun infantry can carry 4 times more. This added with the range and accuracy of the 4mm dart can give a considerable advantage for soldiers on the field. The downsides are obviously that the electronic systems need care and require their own line in logistics. Recharging is done at specialized stations, connection ports of military vehicles or even by solar panels and other hand devices like the "solar mat" which is a foil-like device that can be spread out on a surface to gather solar energy. Regardless for Neo Hungaria that mostly focuses on defense and asymmetric warfare their equipment are ideal for the purpose.
Tanks:
Name: Bocskai III-V2 Classification: Stealth-Capable Light Battle Tank Manufacturer: FÉG-ARMY Rollout Date: 2044 (original), 2047 (current variation) Crew: 3 Length: 7m (~10m with the gun forward) Width: 3.4 m Height: 2.6 m Weight: 18.2 metric tons (22.6 tons with extra armor kits) Armor: CNT-BNT composite modular armor Engine: FÉG TURBO-2000C Multi-Fuel Turbine Engine (2222hp/1657kW) Maximum Speed: 145 km/h, up to 90 km/h offroad Maximum Range: 1700 km Main Armament: FÉG-SL47 Adaptive Railgun (Supports projectiles between the diameters of 12-120mm, intelligent auto-loader and feed mechanism, 16 Mj capacitor) Secondary Weapon: Csepel-Manfréd Modular Remote Controlled Weapon System (various loadouts) Active Protections: FÉG PL-100 laser defense system (100kW), Smoke grenade launchers, FÉG ORS-4B anti-missile package (includes targeting jammers and anti-projectile launcher ports linked to complex sensors)
Light and advanced tank and the chief fighting vehicle employed by the Royal Hungarian Army. Its predecessor the Bocskai Tank was just a license-built version of the Polish PL-01. But following this subsequent versions constantly upgraded the tank to the extend that the Bocskai III tank is practically a whole different vehicle. The most notable difference is the new full-CNT chassis which improved protection while also decreasing weight, making the tank incredibly light and easy to transport. Though without dense heavy metal frame the armor only offers limited protection against APFSDS rounds. Another focus was on the tank's stealth. The Bocskai III uses the 3rd generation of the PL-01's thermal and radar stealth system and in standard combat situations and from sufficient distance this makes the vehicle practically undetectable. Newest addition is the Bocskai III's active camouflage system which by using the CNT's electronic properties can allow the tank to literally change colors, thus mimicking the surroundings. While this is obviously nowhere close to invisibility it works rather well from standard engagement distances. The Bocskai III also has the latest generation of passive and active protection systems which by the second variation includes a PL-100 laser point defense. Not to replace anti-missile defenses the laser works the best against distant or slow-moving explosive warheads. In dire situations it can also act as an anti-infatry platform with its rapid pulses. The tank's main armament is of course a railgun developed specially for the V2 model. The problem with railgun systems is the lack of versatility. The insensitive projectile doesn't allow much variation and the diameter is required to be the same. FÉG circumvents this issue by introducing the adaptive railgun concept. Its rail system can change its diameter thus allowing to shoot projectiles with varying size. Be it a solid 120mm bunker buster slug or a 20mm hypervelocity dart the weapon can handle it all. This is supported by a versatile and modular autoloader complex which can feed the system with multiple types of ammunition. The end result is a surprisingly versatile system which redefines the purpose of railguns. It can use CNT-reinforced tantalite slugs to act as explosive warheads. Can rapidly fire 12x48mm slugs with almost 0.1MJ energy each at 600-3000RPM like a devastating superheavy machinegun. Or unload the classic hypervelocity dart against armor. The possibilities are great and the limit is only within the imagination of Hungary's engineers. The only setback is that the new adaptive railgun alone costs almost as much as the rest of the tank, raising production cost twice to the original. In spite of that the Royal Hungarian Army upgraded all of their Bocskai III tanks to the V2 model by 2050.
Name: Toldi IVe Classification: Main Battle Tank Manufacturer: MAVAG Rollout Date: 2041 (original), 2048 (current variation) Crew: 3 Length: 7.45m (~12m with the gun forward) Width: 3.6 m Height: 3.2 m Weight: 48.8 metric tons Armor: Laminate Honeycomb Composite Modular Armor Powerplant: MAVAG W16SH-3600 Liquid-cooled Turbodiesel Engine (2222hp/1657kW) Maximum Speed: 100 km/h, up to 64 km/h offroad Main Armament: MAVAG 160mm L/60 Gun (30 RPM with autoloader, 48 ammo stored in 8 magazines) Co-Axial Gun: FÉG-M41G 4mm Railgun (shooting 4mm tungsten darts at 2000 m/s, with up to 9000 RPM) Secondary Weapon: Csepel-Manfréd Modular Remote Controlled Weapon System (various loadouts) Active Protections: Smoke grenade launchers, laser/radar warning and jammers, FÉG ORS-5 defense system (incorporates various sensors while having the combination of explosive, projectile and laser based interceptors)
While the Bocskai tanks are innovative, cheap and effective in warfare, there are several situation where the army requires a typical MBT for the job. As such Neo Hungaria developed the Toldi IV main battle tank. Named after a Hungarian knight famous for his strength and valor the Toldi IV is an advanced fighting vehicle with the latest weaponry and protection. Before railguns gained popularity 140-150mm systems dominated the battlefields. In some aspect cannons are still superior and more versatile so for the frontline tank MAVAG reintroduced the cannon, a 160mm multi-stage liquid propellant using tank gun. Its size allows to fire powerful explosive rounds and launching various missiles. Rumors say it's even capable of launching tactical nuclear warheads. Neo Hungary also developed their own unique armor system which is relatively light while offers great degree of protection. Tough and enduring, its microscopic BN honeycomb plates being immune to the "multiple hit problem" ceramic panels suffered. The armor was also made with the future possibility of irradiated environments and directed energy weapons in mind. Of course the Toldi IV also features the latest electronics, sensors and countermeasures with the E-variant debuting with the FÉG ORS-5 system with coverage and response time far better than most contemporary systems. All of these together makes the Toldi IVe a powerful but expensive tank when compared to the Bocskai III-V2.
Drone Craft:
Name: LEG-142 "Kuvik" (current version: Block 6) Classification: Stealth Attack Drone, Unmanned Magnetoaerodynamic Craft Developer: MÁL/FÉG-ARMY Collaboration Production Date: 2043 Diameter: 3.49 m Armor: 12.9mm CNT-composite Empty Weight: 425 kg Standard Weight: 885 kg Propulsion: MÁL MLM-04b Magnetoaerodynamic Drive (286 kW) Powered by: MEHM EC-E14 Hypercapacitor Fuel Cell (400 kWh) Top Speed: Mach 0.6 Fixed Armament: FÉG-M41R 4mm Railgun (Turret-mounted, 1600m/s, max 18000 RPM, 600 ammo) Internal Payload Options: - LER-4 "Véreb" Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile x 4 - LFR-16 "Égbivaly" Anti-Armor Missile x 4 - LFR-08 "Zajos Dongó" Cluster Missile x 2 - IB-21 50kg Guided Bombs x 8 - LR-11K "Tűzvész" 55mm Rocket Pod x 1 (18 missiles) - or the combination of the above
The Kuvik is a small yet rather compact VTOL capable drone aircraft which focuses on close air support. It uses by then advanced magnetic propulsion system and effectively works like a mixture of helicopter and classical aircraft thus effectively replaced the former. It's equipped with a sophisticated AI that can follow its directives and continue fighting even in heavy radio/GPS jamming. Although for accountability it's preferable if the drone craft is remote controlled. In addition the Kuvik also features advanced stealth, including radar, thermal imaging and to a limited extend even visual camouflage (a system similar to what Botond III Tanks have). This combined with the drone's already tiny size makes the vehicle extremely difficult to spot thus the Kuvik earns increasing reputation for covert missions. The Kuvik is a Hungarian word describing a family of small-bodied ownls that hunt at night. Local folklore also associate the Kuvik's sound with death.
Name: LEG-149AX "Uhu" Classification: Unmanned Magnetocraft, Attack Drone Rollout Date: 2045 (technically the test prototype was flying in 2040) Diameter: 12.84 m Armor: 20mm CNT-composite Standard Weight: 9.88 metric tons Propulsuion: MÁL MLM-01j Magnetoaerodynamic Drive (4824 kW) Powered by: MEHM EC-H23 Hypercapacitor Fuel Cell (8200 kWh) Top Speed: Mach 0.8 Armament: - FÉG-M41R 4mm Railgun (turret mounted, 1800 m/s, maximum 18000 RPM, 2400 ammo) - FÉG PL-100 Laser (100kW) x 2 - MTA KVSEB-900 Radiological Weapon (900 kW accelerator/collider, energy output depends on settings) Internal Payload Options: - LER-4 "Véreb" Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile x 12 (3 per hardpoint) - LFR-16 "Égbivaly" Anti-Armor Missile x 12 (3 per hardpoint) - LFR-08 "Zajos Dongó" Cluster Missile x 4 (1 per hardpoint) - IB-21 50kg Guided Bombs x 20 (5 per hardpoint) - LR-11A "Tűzvész" 55mm Rocket Pod x 4 (24 missiles per pod) - or the combination of the above
Uhu is a the big brother of the Kuvik dronecraft, developed to provide heavier fire support and overall greater capabilities. It features the same stealth system as the Kuvik albeit its size and larger radiation signature makes it easier to spot. Before being issued for the military the machine (classified as "Bagoly" at the time) was a test craft for various electromagnetic propulsion designs and future dronecrafts. It also served as testbed for directed energy weapons and their behavior in adverse conditions. But after a few years it became apparent the military needs a larger drone to truly substitute attack helicopters in their role. As such they proposed a more streamlined version of the Bagoly, designated as the Uhu. The large dronecraft can carry much more payload and has extensive active protection systems. In addition because of the nature of the magnetoaerodynamic drive it was easy to integrate a collider type particle accelerator and use a redesigned version of the test-type directed energy weapon in combat. Compared to most lasers this sports greater range and power, though obviously it's ineffective against properly armored targets. On the other hand it's a versatile system that can be used as a particle accelerator gun, laser, x-ray emitter and even gamma laser. As such even though it cannot burn through armor the high-energy radiation can be used to disable electronic equipment or (more rarely) to kill infantry. The gamma ray laser emits sufficient radiation to send humans into coma and kill them via major organ failure within hours or even minutes. The radiological weapon can potentially also used to intercept missiles, even large ICBMs. The Uhu is a versatile but also relatively expensive vehicle. The use of radiological weapons is also currently a secret in fear of international response. For the latter reason the Uhu is equipped by multiple self-destruct mechanisms to prevent the recovery of the wreckage. Uhu is a Hungarian word for a species of large-bodied owls. Their naming represents the dronecraft's relation to the LEG-142 (Kuvik) in size.
Claims won't change, albeit I'll tune on a few details. Space exploration is a fun plausibility, for example.
Type of Government (Easy Pz): Single Party Communist State
Military (How many People and Military and Main Generals): Work in Progress
Productions (What your nation Produces): Work In Progress
History of the Nation: 2046 sparked the end of the tumultuous Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran's foreign relations had completely deteriorated by this point, with rebel groups starting to crop up all over the nation. The most important of these was the Communist Party of Iran, an unusual group with western backing that quickly overshadowed all of its competitors in the fight for control of Iran. Comming out of Iranian Kurdistan, ready to take down the government that they had seen as a vicious tyranny plaguing the nation for far too long. The Iranian Civil War lasted for a good 3 years, with the Communist Rebels and the Iranian Armed Forces fighting for control of the Nation. Eventually, the war came to an end, with the Communists victorious. The Islamic Republic was abolished, it's leaders put to death, and a new state declared, The Iranian People's Republic.
For the first time in a long while, it seemed that Iran had begun to develop warm relations with the western nations, who had long been stringent enemies to them. The economy of Iran benefited greatly, from a new influx of trade relations and the rapid take over of the nation's production centers by the government. Iran quickly got to work at improving upon the infrastucture they had, and by the time that World War 3 set in, the new Iran was more than capable of holding her own against newfound enemies in that would rise up in the Middle East.
In the New World War, Iran took advantage of its markedly improved military to easily occupy and subjugate neighboring Afghanistan, as well as take control of the Region of Iraqi Kurdistan as their western neighbor began to completely crumble in the conflict. In an attempt to secure new land to develop upon once the war was over, Iran turned her armies north towards Central Asia, and was able to convince most of the states there to enter a union with Iran, calling back to their historical ties, their cultural contributions to each other, and finally, pointing to the fact that to their north lay Russia, and that the Iranians could promise much better treatment than what Russia would. With this, Iran was able to incorporate Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, but was forced to go to war with Turkmenistan, who refused the invitation, and tried to take back the other two neighbors from Iran to prevent it from being enclaved within Iranian borders. Ultimately, Turkmenistan was defeated and annexed into Iran.
By the End of the War, Iran's borders had grown considerably, and the new state decided to take a page out of the Soviet handbook for the urbanization and modernization of their newly gained Central Asian states, as well as to the reconstruction and stabilization of Afghanistan. By way of mass settlements of Persians from Iran into Central Asia and Afghanistan, as well as government programs focused on Urbanization in the Steppe, the new Iranian Government has urbanized most of their Central Asian regions, begun programs to irrigate and settle the Karakum Desert, and developed a stable governance in Afghanistan, as well as a mass extermination of terrorist and extremist groups from the region. Iran emerges as a very stable and powerful state in the Middle-East, with World Power status and potentially on its way to superpower in the future.
Main Race: Persians are the majority Ethnic group of Iran, who have begun spreading far beyond their homelands in Iran proper and out into the farthest peripheries of the State. Persian settlers have been moving out into Central Asia not long after the territories were incorporated into the new state, in an attempt to iranify the Turkic regions, and to reconnect and reassimilate the Tajiki peoples in the far north.
Total Population - 188,700,000 people
66% Persian 15% Kurdish 10% Pashtun 6% Uzbek 3% Other (Turkmen, Luri, Armenian, Kyrgyz, Georgian, etc)
Main Religion: There is no official state religion in Iran, as per the result of the revolution against the Islamic Republic. Islam is the most widely practiced religion. Historically a Shia' state, as a result of the introduction of new freedom of religion laws, the incorporation of Sunni populated regions, and free movement of these peoples within Iran, the population of Sunnis and Shia's has begun to reach an equalibrium, with Shia's only marginally more populous. Another change in demographics has been the rebirth of Zoroastrianism, brought about by the allowance of conversions out of Islam, as well as the Iranian government's decision to allow the Right of Return for all Iranian Zoroastrians and their descendants.
32% Islam - Sunni 33% Islam - Shia' 10% Zoroastrian 5% Christianity (Typically Nestorianism or Oriental Orthodox) 2% Non-Religious/Atheist 2% Yazdanism 1% Other (Tengriism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, etc)
I'm interested but what year would apply in this rp

With this, Iran was able to incorporate Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, but was forced to go to war with Turkmenistan, who refused the invitation, and tried to take back the other two neighbors from Iran to prevent it from being enclaved within Iranian borders. Ultimately, Turkmenistan was defeated and annexed into Iran.
By the End of the War, Iran's borders had grown considerably, and the new state decided to take a page out of the Soviet handbook for the urbanization and modernization of their newly gained Central Asian states, as well as to the reconstruction and stabilization of Afghanistan. By way of mass settlements of Persians from Iran into Central Asia and Afghanistan, as well as government programs focused on Urbanization in the Steppe, the new Iranian Government has urbanized most of their Central Asian regions, begun programs to irrigate and settle the Karakum Desert, and developed a stable governance in Afghanistan, as well as a mass extermination of terrorist and extremist groups from the region. Iran emerges as a very stable and powerful state in the Middle-East, with World Power status and potentially on its way to superpower in the future.
Main Race: Persians are the majority Ethnic group of Iran, who have begun spreading far beyond their homelands in Iran proper and out into the farthest peripheries of the State. Persian settlers have been moving out into Central Asia not long after the territories were incorporated into the new state, in an attempt to iranify the Turkic regions, and to reconnect and reassimilate the Tajiki peoples in the far north.
Total Population - 188,700,000 people
66% Persian 15% Kurdish 10% Pashtun 6% Uzbek 3% Other (Turkmen, Luri, Armenian, Kyrgyz, Georgian, etc)
Main Religion: There is no official state religion in Iran, as per the result of the revolution against the Islamic Republic. Islam is the most widely practiced religion. Historically a Shia' state, as a result of the introduction of new freedom of religion laws, the incorporation of Sunni populated regions, and free movement of these peoples within Iran, the population of Sunnis and Shia's has begun to reach an equalibrium, with Shia's only marginally more populous. Another change in demographics has been the rebirth of Zoroastrianism, brought about by the allowance of conversions out of Islam, as well as the Iranian government's decision to allow the Right of Return for all Iranian Zoroastrians and their descendants.
32% Islam - Sunni 33% Islam - Shia' 10% Zoroastrian 5% Christianity (Typically Nestorianism or Oriental Orthodox) 2% Non-Religious/Atheist 2% Yazdanism 1% Other (Tengriism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, etc)

Fictional History
Starting from the recession in 2008 Hungary gradually became discontent with the European Union which eventually peaked in 2018 when suddenly the ultranationalist Hungarian Unity Novation party won the elections. Lead by Charles Esterhazy they soon left the union just before introducing the new currency and began to work on a new independent and strong country. This overall hurt the Hungarian international relations but the reforms also managed to fix the countless issues and inequalities which baned the country for decades. On the other hand Hungary gradually turned into something closer to a dictatorship lead by the HUN party. This incurred the disapproval of the other nations but given the current worldwide situation nobody had time to deal with Hungary. Then the war broke out, or more like a chaotic combination of several different wars which is now referred as World War III. China, EU, Russia, USA and countless more nations found themselves locked in the most destructive war of all history. All but Hungary which retained their neutrality through the whole time. As the war died down many nations were in ruins, a situation the Hungarian leadership immediately abused. Through the decades they were improving their military and in just a few months prior to the official end of World War III the Hungarian armies finally took action. In the name of correcting the injustice of Trianon they conquered all the neighboring countries at rapid pace, meeting only minimal resistance. By the peace talks in 2031 Hungary had already became as large as it used to be during WW1 if not even greater. Abusing the chaotic atmosphere Hungary even used this occasion to declare the legitimacy of their new nation, called Neo Hungaria. Inviting the current Duke of Croy (Reinhard), the last known descendant from House Árpád, to be Hungary's king they created the Kingdom of Neo Hungaria.
The first decade of the Kingdom was a troubled one, the ethnical-national friction was the source of various uprisings which the radical political party throttled with sheer might and resulted in bloodbaths. Yet gradually things were changing after the retirement of Reinhard and coronation of his son Mathias III. Unlike his father Mathias was a skilled politician and his reign brought stability. He promoted multiculturalism and a national identity which acknowledged everyone in the country regardless of their tongue or ethnicity as Hungarian. As such he turned around the ongoing nationalist propaganda and extended it to people who previously were viewed as the oppressed. This change eventually resulted in the current face of Neo Hungaria.
Politics/Society
As its name suggests Neo Hungaria is a monarchy ruled by their king. The current regent is Mathias III, aged 42. He's the son of the late king Reinhard von Croy and direct descendant of the Arpád Dynasty. He was born in Belgium but spent most of his life in Hungary and later adopted the name Korona Mátyás (Mathias Crown). The main decision-making body of Neo Hungaria is the Parliament which is mostly dominated by the right-wing Hungarian Unity Novation (HUN) party albeit their authority is far less absolute compared to the past. In every four years the members of the Parliament are decided by vote although the system isn't completely clean. Hungarian is the the country's official language albeit given the large diversity of ethnicities and nationalities within Neo Hungaria they also support schools in other languages and people can do administrative duties in up to 11 tongues. Multiculturalism is prevalent albeit Hungarians subtly still enjoy some preferential treatment.
Economy
Neo Hungaria remained neutral through the entire length of WW3 which allowed them to survive these years relatively intact. Their neighbors were not so lucky and as Neo Hungaria conquered them it also had an impact on their economy. Their conquest was fueled by nationalist propaganda about restoring Hungary of the past yet in effect it also bore strategic importance. Many of the old kingdom's richest agricultural fields and allocation of natural resources were held by foreign countries. Reparations and war-waging costs were expensive but turned out to be rewarding on the long run. With these Neo Hungaria became an economic powerhouse compared to the rest of Europe. They have rich mountains abundant in materials, oil fields and excellent farmlands. Due to the latter they also invested considerable effort in producing various biofuels thus allowing them to be close to self-sufficient. Export of food and materials is one of their largest source of income.
Even prior to WW3 Hungary was keeping pace with other nations when it came to science and technology. This only accelerated after the formation of Neo Hungaria. The nation's economy multiplied more than tenfold and this had a drastic impact on technology and industry. Nowadays Neo Hungaria is one of the most developed nations in the world. In spite of their size compared to the various superpowers, Neo Hungaria is one of the top producers of carbon-nanotubes and other nanoconstructed chemicals.
Military
Ever since its conception Neo Hungaria put emphasis on their military and with a good reason. Even after its numerous territorial acquisitions Neo Hungaria was surrounded by giant nations that threatened their existence. As such compared to its neighbors Neo Hungaria is more militarized and their military expenses (along with R&D) reach as high as 21% of their budget. Along with the technological and industrial boom, Neo Hungaria also devoted great resources into arming their forces with only national products. This resulted in a temporarily setback as the industry for making weapons was yet to be finished but by the 2040s this idea became a reality.
Military by numbers Active Soldiers: 712,000 Reserves: 2,888,000 (their status is unusual and more passive than in other armies) Military Police: 432,124 Tanks: 4,218 (~60% being the Bocskai III-V2) Military Land Vehicles Total: 52,812 (this includes everything, tanks, AFVs, SPGs, supply trucks, etc) Fighters: 628 (practically all of them are 6th generation craft or even 6.5th generation) Drone Aircraft: 4284 (not counting the portable UAVs carried by vehicles and infantry) Aircraft Total: 8372 Warships: 32 (including anything at destroyer size or above save for aircraft carriers) Aircraft Carriers: 6 Submarines: 60 Naval Vessels Total: 420
Infantry:
Neo Hungaria's infantry is known for their high quality equipment. Manufactured by FÉG-ARMY they wear advanced protective suit made of CNT and other nanomaterials to offer considerable and full-body protection (including against radiation and chemical attacks) while the sensors and helmet offers enhanced information feed and situational awareness on the battlefield. Their current standard armament is the FÉG-K42 guns, one of the first mass-produced railgun carbines in the world. It fires the then standardized 4x16mm "dart" projectiles at the velocity of around 1500m/s and adjustable rate of fire usually ranging between 120 to 15000 RPM depending on how each mode is programmed. Power source is a compact CNT-supercapacitor with the nominal energy content of 4 kWh which is theoretically enough for over 5000 shots thus in general the only limiting factor the amount of ammo of which a railgun infantry can carry 4 times more. This added with the range and accuracy of the 4mm dart can give a considerable advantage for soldiers on the field. The downsides are obviously that the electronic systems need care and require their own line in logistics. Recharging is done at specialized stations, connection ports of military vehicles or even by solar panels and other hand devices like the "solar mat" which is a foil-like device that can be spread out on a surface to gather solar energy. Regardless for Neo Hungaria that mostly focuses on defense and asymmetric warfare their equipment are ideal for the purpose.
Tanks:
Name: Bocskai III-V2 Classification: Stealth-Capable Light Battle Tank Manufacturer: FÉG-ARMY Rollout Date: 2044 (original), 2047 (current variation) Crew: 3 Length: 7m (~10m with the gun forward) Width: 3.4 m Height: 2.6 m Weight: 18.2 metric tons (22.6 tons with extra armor kits) Armor: CNT-BNT composite modular armor Engine: FÉG TURBO-2000C Multi-Fuel Turbine Engine (2222hp/1657kW) Maximum Speed: 145 km/h, up to 90 km/h offroad Maximum Range: 1700 km Main Armament: FÉG-SL47 Adaptive Railgun (Supports projectiles between the diameters of 12-120mm, intelligent auto-loader and feed mechanism, 16 Mj capacitor) Secondary Weapon: Csepel-Manfréd Modular Remote Controlled Weapon System (various loadouts) Active Protections: FÉG PL-100 laser defense system (100kW), Smoke grenade launchers, FÉG ORS-4B anti-missile package (includes targeting jammers and anti-projectile launcher ports linked to complex sensors)
Light and advanced tank and the chief fighting vehicle employed by the Royal Hungarian Army. Its predecessor the Bocskai Tank was just a license-built version of the Polish PL-01. But following this subsequent versions constantly upgraded the tank to the extend that the Bocskai III tank is practically a whole different vehicle. The most notable difference is the new full-CNT chassis which improved protection while also decreasing weight, making the tank incredibly light and easy to transport. Though without dense heavy metal frame the armor only offers limited protection against APFSDS rounds. Another focus was on the tank's stealth. The Bocskai III uses the 3rd generation of the PL-01's thermal and radar stealth system and in standard combat situations and from sufficient distance this makes the vehicle practically undetectable. Newest addition is the Bocskai III's active camouflage system which by using the CNT's electronic properties can allow the tank to literally change colors, thus mimicking the surroundings. While this is obviously nowhere close to invisibility it works rather well from standard engagement distances. The Bocskai III also has the latest generation of passive and active protection systems which by the second variation includes a PL-100 laser point defense. Not to replace anti-missile defenses the laser works the best against distant or slow-moving explosive warheads. In dire situations it can also act as an anti-infatry platform with its rapid pulses. The tank's main armament is of course a railgun developed specially for the V2 model. The problem with railgun systems is the lack of versatility. The insensitive projectile doesn't allow much variation and the diameter is required to be the same. FÉG circumvents this issue by introducing the adaptive railgun concept. Its rail system can change its diameter thus allowing to shoot projectiles with varying size. Be it a solid 120mm bunker buster slug or a 20mm hypervelocity dart the weapon can handle it all. This is supported by a versatile and modular autoloader complex which can feed the system with multiple types of ammunition. The end result is a surprisingly versatile system which redefines the purpose of railguns. It can use CNT-reinforced tantalite slugs to act as explosive warheads. Can rapidly fire 12x48mm slugs with almost 0.1MJ energy each at 600-3000RPM like a devastating superheavy machinegun. Or unload the classic hypervelocity dart against armor. The possibilities are great and the limit is only within the imagination of Hungary's engineers. The only setback is that the new adaptive railgun alone costs almost as much as the rest of the tank, raising production cost twice to the original. In spite of that the Royal Hungarian Army upgraded all of their Bocskai III tanks to the V2 model by 2050.
Name: Toldi IVe Classification: Main Battle Tank Manufacturer: MAVAG Rollout Date: 2041 (original), 2048 (current variation) Crew: 3 Length: 7.45m (~12m with the gun forward) Width: 3.6 m Height: 3.2 m Weight: 48.8 metric tons Armor: Laminate Honeycomb Composite Modular Armor Powerplant: MAVAG W16SH-3600 Liquid-cooled Turbodiesel Engine (2222hp/1657kW) Maximum Speed: 100 km/h, up to 64 km/h offroad Main Armament: MAVAG 160mm L/60 Gun (30 RPM with autoloader, 48 ammo stored in 8 magazines) Co-Axial Gun: FÉG-M41G 4mm Railgun (shooting 4mm tungsten darts at 2000 m/s, with up to 9000 RPM) Secondary Weapon: Csepel-Manfréd Modular Remote Controlled Weapon System (various loadouts) Active Protections: Smoke grenade launchers, laser/radar warning and jammers, FÉG ORS-5 defense system (incorporates various sensors while having the combination of explosive, projectile and laser based interceptors)
While the Bocskai tanks are innovative, cheap and effective in warfare, there are several situation where the army requires a typical MBT for the job. As such Neo Hungaria developed the Toldi IV main battle tank. Named after a Hungarian knight famous for his strength and valor the Toldi IV is an advanced fighting vehicle with the latest weaponry and protection. Before railguns gained popularity 140-150mm systems dominated the battlefields. In some aspect cannons are still superior and more versatile so for the frontline tank MAVAG reintroduced the cannon, a 160mm multi-stage liquid propellant using tank gun. Its size allows to fire powerful explosive rounds and launching various missiles. Rumors say it's even capable of launching tactical nuclear warheads. Neo Hungary also developed their own unique armor system which is relatively light while offers great degree of protection. Tough and enduring, its microscopic BN honeycomb plates being immune to the "multiple hit problem" ceramic panels suffered. The armor was also made with the future possibility of irradiated environments and directed energy weapons in mind. Of course the Toldi IV also features the latest electronics, sensors and countermeasures with the E-variant debuting with the FÉG ORS-5 system with coverage and response time far better than most contemporary systems. All of these together makes the Toldi IVe a powerful but expensive tank when compared to the Bocskai III-V2.
Drone Craft:
Name: LEG-142 "Kuvik" (current version: Block 6) Classification: Stealth Attack Drone, Unmanned Magnetoaerodynamic Craft Developer: MÁL/FÉG-ARMY Collaboration Production Date: 2043 Diameter: 3.49 m Armor: 12.9mm CNT-composite Empty Weight: 425 kg Standard Weight: 885 kg Propulsion: MÁL MLM-04b Magnetoaerodynamic Drive (286 kW) Powered by: MEHM EC-E14 Hypercapacitor Fuel Cell (400 kWh) Top Speed: Mach 0.6 Fixed Armament: FÉG-M41R 4mm Railgun (Turret-mounted, 1600m/s, max 18000 RPM, 600 ammo) Internal Payload Options: - LER-4 "Véreb" Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile x 4 - LFR-16 "Égbivaly" Anti-Armor Missile x 4 - LFR-08 "Zajos Dongó" Cluster Missile x 2 - IB-21 50kg Guided Bombs x 8 - LR-11K "Tűzvész" 55mm Rocket Pod x 1 (18 missiles) - or the combination of the above
The Kuvik is a small yet rather compact VTOL capable drone aircraft which focuses on close air support. It uses by then advanced magnetic propulsion system and effectively works like a mixture of helicopter and classical aircraft thus effectively replaced the former. It's equipped with a sophisticated AI that can follow its directives and continue fighting even in heavy radio/GPS jamming. Although for accountability it's preferable if the drone craft is remote controlled. In addition the Kuvik also features advanced stealth, including radar, thermal imaging and to a limited extend even visual camouflage (a system similar to what Botond III Tanks have). This combined with the drone's already tiny size makes the vehicle extremely difficult to spot thus the Kuvik earns increasing reputation for covert missions. The Kuvik is a Hungarian word describing a family of small-bodied ownls that hunt at night. Local folklore also associate the Kuvik's sound with death.
Name: LEG-149AX "Uhu" Classification: Unmanned Magnetocraft, Attack Drone Rollout Date: 2045 (technically the test prototype was flying in 2040) Diameter: 12.84 m Armor: 20mm CNT-composite Standard Weight: 9.88 metric tons Propulsuion: MÁL MLM-01j Magnetoaerodynamic Drive (4824 kW) Powered by: MEHM EC-H23 Hypercapacitor Fuel Cell (8200 kWh) Top Speed: Mach 0.8 Armament: - FÉG-M41R 4mm Railgun (turret mounted, 1800 m/s, maximum 18000 RPM, 2400 ammo) - FÉG PL-100 Laser (100kW) x 2 - MTA KVSEB-900 Radiological Weapon (900 kW accelerator/collider, energy output depends on settings) Internal Payload Options: - LER-4 "Véreb" Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile x 12 (3 per hardpoint) - LFR-16 "Égbivaly" Anti-Armor Missile x 12 (3 per hardpoint) - LFR-08 "Zajos Dongó" Cluster Missile x 4 (1 per hardpoint) - IB-21 50kg Guided Bombs x 20 (5 per hardpoint) - LR-11A "Tűzvész" 55mm Rocket Pod x 4 (24 missiles per pod) - or the combination of the above
Uhu is a the big brother of the Kuvik dronecraft, developed to provide heavier fire support and overall greater capabilities. It features the same stealth system as the Kuvik albeit its size and larger radiation signature makes it easier to spot. Before being issued for the military the machine (classified as "Bagoly" at the time) was a test craft for various electromagnetic propulsion designs and future dronecrafts. It also served as testbed for directed energy weapons and their behavior in adverse conditions. But after a few years it became apparent the military needs a larger drone to truly substitute attack helicopters in their role. As such they proposed a more streamlined version of the Bagoly, designated as the Uhu. The large dronecraft can carry much more payload and has extensive active protection systems. In addition because of the nature of the magnetoaerodynamic drive it was easy to integrate a collider type particle accelerator and use a redesigned version of the test-type directed energy weapon in combat. Compared to most lasers this sports greater range and power, though obviously it's ineffective against properly armored targets. On the other hand it's a versatile system that can be used as a particle accelerator gun, laser, x-ray emitter and even gamma laser. As such even though it cannot burn through armor the high-energy radiation can be used to disable electronic equipment or (more rarely) to kill infantry. The gamma ray laser emits sufficient radiation to send humans into coma and kill them via major organ failure within hours or even minutes. The radiological weapon can potentially also used to intercept missiles, even large ICBMs. The Uhu is a versatile but also relatively expensive vehicle. The use of radiological weapons is also currently a secret in fear of international response. For the latter reason the Uhu is equipped by multiple self-destruct mechanisms to prevent the recovery of the wreckage. Uhu is a Hungarian word for a species of large-bodied owls. Their naming represents the dronecraft's relation to the LEG-142 (Kuvik) in size.
Claims won't change, albeit I'll tune on a few details. Space exploration is a fun plausibility, for example.
