Government Type:

Constitutional monarchy

A model based upon the old US government model but with a monarch head rather than an elected president which, in irony is the very thing the constitution fought against.

Head(s) of Government:

Persons of Importance:

Queen Charlotte; The sister of King Theodore. She is 38 years of age and acts as a counter weight to Theodores impulsive behavior with her wisdom. She is well mannered and quiet most of the time. She despises being photographed and social events even more so.

More will be added as certain plots begin.

Race(s):

Mixed ethnicities. Majority being of western European and north African descent. There are no real notable subspecies as people are -mostly- regarded as equal.

Population:

Very large due to packed urban areas like new York.

Culture and Religion:

Consumerism drives this fairly similar to today's culture. Small and large businesses alike vie for power and prosperity among an ever growing and evolving population. This open economy model has allowed for a wide variety of products and the lax laws on certain things such as guns and automobiles has created huge leaps in designs through constant competition. This competition does not stop at guns and automobiles though. Music and Motion pictures are a huge growing market throughout the nation.

Due to growing and advancing automated manufacturing and agricultural processes, the need for basic physical labor has decreased drastically. This has led to a fluctuating employment level but for the most part it is low as people are usually forced to learn more to survive. This has led to a more intellectual community that has more or less stomped out religion. The only true faith that is openly accepted by the majority of the population is 'The Founding Fathers'

This religion is basically based around the old time American 'founding fathers' and their ideals. A more or less nationalist faith based upon community service and various freedoms from semi burnt up US bill of rights and Constitution document.

Pre-Cataclysm Technology:

This really will only force oneupsmanship. I'll just say various pre-war technologies are in existence like surviving nuclear reactors and high end radar/sonar installations. Long range command and control systems from the US military installation remnants exist and are being researched for era-specific use.

The biggest find was at the "Williams TurboClear Fabricator" facilities along the eastern seaboard. The WTF is a strange device that produces Hand held shielded nuclear batteries. These powerful batteries are very long life and quite safe but do not put out an excessive amount of energy as with a larger reactor. These are just enough to power a light vehicle but are mostly used in powered armor. Various configurations are being tested to completely replace engines, enabling the NAU to be relatively energy dependent. Sadly until modern technology catches up with the understood principles of the device and its batteries, advanced usage is currently impossible.

History:

The unions history is extensive from the great war. National history starts in the moments after the great war ended with the remnants of the old United states. This nation has slowly lost touch with the old reality and formed different faiths that eventually coalesced into the founding fathers faith.

The nation started by peacefully reacquiring old territories but as time continued, various groups were forcibly subdued like the Ohio-kentucky based 'Lexington Empire.' and more recently the 'Curbua federation' where Cuba was located.

Borders were drawn when union forces reached the 'Sanders river' which runs the length of the western borders. There are points across the river that are controlled but for the most part, Union forces reside on their side of the river.

Military:

Union military is surprisingly similar to its pre-war counter part with main battle tanks flanked by accurate heavy artillery. Helicopters and jet aircraft operate in close support while a fleet of aircraft carriers and destroyers project their overseas power.

There are only two branches in the military, an army-air force and the Navy. Both branches headquartered in Massachusetts in a underground bunker complex.

There are many types of fighting units in the nation but below is the more standard and well known weapons of the union possesses,

(A very important note. This does not mean that any of these weapons and vehicles are any better or worse than any other nations counterparts unless agreed upon via collaboration, hence the lack of stats. This is merely an illustration as to what one would see if encountering the military.)
























Other: I'm not really assuming the world was exactly irl before the war but for me, the united states to some extent did exist in my general area.

Nation Name: Oceos
National Flag:
Government Type: Confederate Republic. The Central Government n the Greenlandic capital mostly deals with foreign issues such as issues of defense, treaties, and trade. The three Regions - Greenland, Iceland, and the King's Islands (UK) are mostly left to their own devices, albeit they must contribute tax money, use the same currency, be a part of the same economy, and participate in any Central Laws that are enacted. They also use the Central Government's High Court as a way of solving any disputes between the three main Regions. The three main Regions each have an elected Speaker, who acts as the President of the region, and as an ambassador the Central Government. The Regions are their own small examples of a semi-autonomous government, dealing with their own internal affairs while the Central Government worries about the outside world. They function with a Speaker, Parliament, and High Court. The Parliament acts as the voice of the smaller subdivisions of the Region, which are Counties, and the Speaker acts as the final voice in all matters, much like the President does over the Speakers themselves.



Foreign Relations: Oceos mainly exports artisan goods (like furniture and autmobiles) as well as crude oil and refined petroleum products. They are also a huge producer of raw ores and refined metals, since the warming of Greenland has exposed so many deposits. Although there may be some religous conflicts due to the Oceons' religion and very nature, as has happened in the past, the Oceons try to be peaceful and try to be good-natured.

Head(s) of Government: President and Council of Speakers.

Persons of Importance: The President is very important, of course. Currently, President Wilhelm Rasp, a stocky, gray-nosed snow leopard, is in his third three-year term of presidency. He is in a similar role to the former US' president. Although quiet and somewhat reserved, he is very intelligent and very witty.

Another important person is Admiral Tintin Beck. He is the daring human commander of the Oceon Navy flagship Song of Storms - an enormous aircraft carrier 1,000 feet in length and powered by enormous steam turbines. He holds one of the highest rankings in the entire Navy and is near the top of the command chain.

There are the three major sections of the Confederacy with their appointed representatives to the central government, and act as the presidents of the region's Parliament and lower government bodies.

Greenland's head, or Speaker of Government, is Britt Gardenar. She is an imposing orca with a quiet disposition but a fierce attitude if provoked. She has been the Speaker for the sparsely populated homeland of the Oceons for a long time now, four four-year terms, and it does not look like the Greenlanders want her to leave anytime soon. This is for a good reason... Greenland has prospered under her rule, and she usually gets her way with the Federal government.

The fractured remains of the United Kingdom have come to be known as the King's Islands. The Speaker of that region is Willis Stone, a controversial figure who is a lanky, young hare. He is defined by his brash attitude and loud voice, and his "shady" methods in politics. He might have bribed a few people, he might have a hidden agenda, he might be making controversy and carrying out smear campaigns, but hey, he's getting his job done, right? He is in his second term so far but it is doubtful he will get much further.

Jaylen Cole is the Speaker of Iceland. He was good at first but midway through his third term he suffered a terrible accident aboard an ocean liner. The Moreau grounded herself on a hidden reef near one of the nation's many islands, and she capsized rapidly. Jaylen was found in the water by a Navy chopper with no vital signs, knocked out by hypothermia. He was revived, but he was changed. He will likely not win a fourth term, as he has become quiet and often loses his train of thought. Doctors have examined the wolf for any signs of medical issues, and their silence has alarmed many.

Race(s): They are genetically modified anthropomorphic animals, mostly arctic and cold weather species such as foxes, polar bears, orcas, hares, leopard seals, etc... although more species are being slowly incorporated. There is also a minority of humans still around, most of them Greenlanders, Icelanders, or those from the UK.
(so yes, furries.)

Population: Roughly 30 million
Culture and Religion: The Oceons have always had a close connection to the sea since they are mostly near the ocean (the Northern and Central regions of Greenland are sparsely populated). When they were dumped off in a remote, frozen corner of Greenland at the beginning, their culture inevitably reformed. It became a very liberal, very open-minded culture since survival was too much of a struggle for them to bicker about smaller issues. With the population scattered and the laws lax, the country is a sort of Wild West, albeit with a surprising lawfulness. It is very much a "make your own happiness" sort of place, where some folks choose to vanish into the wilderness and never surface while others choose to wander the country. Others settle down and live a typical family life. Unemployment is low, and so is poverty, although it is said that the country lacks some motivation. The people of Oceos speak English for the most part, although native languages are still scattered about. The Oceons do not like waging warfare either, and will prefer to settle something diplomatically if at all possible. For some reason, Hellenism became the primary religion. Many blame this on a couple of very charismatic Hellenistic sisters who gave hope to the first frozen group of Project Moreau's experiments, and as such had their teachings passed down through generations. Now there are oddly Greek temples scattered across the land.

Pre-Cataclysm Technology: The Oceons did not have a lot in the first place. They had advanced climate control equipment and supercomputers for predicting the harsh weather and managing the sprawling research base. The Moreau Project was also a foray into sustainability, and many cutting edge sustainable technologies and practices were tried at Moreau.

Now the Oceons live a luxurious lifestyle in structures that are made of natural materials. The population has few large cities or dwellings. The people of Oceos are scattered across the landscape in many different towns and villages, leading to a further diffusion of law from the Confederate government. High efficiency is the standard and the goal, with many things being made of recycled scrap material or waste. Although there is an effort being made into standardizing and optimizing hydrogen fuel cells and biofuels, most cars and other civilian vehicles in Oceos are either steam powered or diesel powered. The jet airplanes run on standard kerosene-based fuel, although again, forays are being made into greener fuels. Telephone lines span across all of the Regions and Counties, with many submarine cables connecting the various islands. There are a handful of black and white television networks and a good number of radio stations across the land.

History: Oceos finds its roots in an experiment conducted by the US Government, with Denmark, Canada, and Britain as partners. The goal was to create a soldier that had little issue with living in harsh winter conditions. The project continued slowly for many years in the darkest shadows, finding funds where it could until it was finally born into the world as Project Moreau.
It was named as such because a rather drastic measure was found to create the soldier everyone dreamed of... "volunteers" were genetically enhanced with animal traits from various arctic species. The first species used were polar bears, orcas, and arctic foxes. A group of around thirty were sent to a remote section of Greenland and left to live on their own with just a radio for outside communication and an old, run-down ferry as their only link to the mainland. The habitats they lived in were sub-surface and powered by windmills and solar panels. The project went well, and over time, the habitat swelled to a village of 225. They were nearly self-sufficient and were even allowed to create a tiny militia for self-defense in case of any hostilities.
Then one day, the supply shipments stopped coming. One last transmission was broadcast to the colony, and it was garbled and unreadable. This day was known as the Day of the Last Signal. The Moreauians waited. And waited. And waited. Four overdue shipments, four overdue status broadcasts, and four weeks later, a crew of twenty boarded the ferry named Virginia Dare and steamed to Canada, against direct orders. The crew found a land laid waste by atomic fire, and then she was fired upon by the last remains of the warring armies of the Old Countries. She and her battered crew returned to report her findings. Another expedition went overland to more populated areas of Greenland and found the nation in pure chaos as the world collapsed around it. The Moreauians mobilized and did their best to bring the rioting nation under control. Many had already died and the dark days that followed were not much better. Some Greenlanders assimilated and underwent the genetic modifications, others assimilated minus the modifications, and others refused to join and continued to fight until their deaths.
The Moreauians slowly gained control of Greenland, and then branched out to other lands to the East and West. To the West, Canada and the rest of America were too hostile, but the island nations of the East were still mostly unorganized. It was an arduous and sometimes bloody task, but the nation of animal crossbreeds eventually carved out a land for themselves and any humans who had decided to join. The Government was a haphazard, almost anarchic mess at first. It was decided after the incorporation of Iceland and the Faroe Islands that a better government was needed, and as such the Constitution of Oceos was signed, and the Articles of Confederacy ratified. The motley assortment of battered islanders pushed on, and slowly morphed their cracked array of lands into a powerful Confederate nation while branching out and trying to keep the world from cracking once more. It is unknown how the rest of the world will react to the hybrids, or how the island nation will be accepted as she spreads her gentle voice of partnership and unity across the world.

Military: Their military is focused mainly on naval power and air power.

The Navy is a large force consisting of ten destroyers, nineteen frigates, six cruisers, thirty-one corvettes, one supercarrier (eighty-five aircraft), two assault carriers (forty aircraft), and ten attack submarines. There are also assorted smaller brown water, patrol, and support vessels.





All of Oceos' aviation is made of rugged, durable turbojet aircraft and piston-engine-powered helicopters, utilizing somewhat developed radar, cannons, and early IR missiles. The Air Force maintains a large section of multirole fighters, attackers, and bombers. This Air Force is based on various stations across the islands. One hundred and twenty-five fighters, sixty strike fighters, and twenty bombers make up the Air Force's main body of aircraft, although there are various other support aircraft within that branch of the Oceon military. The Air Force jets are painted a dark green and light green globular paint pattern, with a white triangle as the roundel and insignia of the OAF.



The Oceon Marines are the third branch of the Oceon Military and acts as Oceon's infantry. They are an expeditionary force equipped with a small force of assault and landing ships to carry their force far and wide, and launch the various attack and transport helicopters to support those ground forces. An Oceon Marine is lightly armed with a 30-06 carbine or 7.62 millimeter light machine gun, .45 ACP pistol, and a combat knife. Their armor is mostly fabric armor vests (think Kevlar) of a dark blue color, and their helmets are a black plastic skullcap lined with fabric armor on the interior and straps that run under their chins. Overall, a modern look. The Oceons have armored fighting vehicles, and again these are designed to be amphibious and light-footed. The blocky, squat, four man MBT-10 main battle tanks are armed with 90-millimeter rifled cannons in their geometric turrets and 50 and 30 caliber machine guns (co-axial and mounted to the commander's hatch behind a steel gun shield, respectively). They have a pointed pike nose and an otherwise regular square body, armored lightly save for the moderately armored but highly angled front glacis ( these are drawing inspiration from the Churchill, IS-3, and M1 Abrams). The wedge-shaped APC-34 APCs of the Marines are equipped with 20-millimeter motor cannons in small, forward mounted, square turrets with a single tube mounted to either side for wire-guided ATGMs and smaller 5.56 machine guns (coaxial and bow mounted) also in the armament list (drawing inspiration from the M113 and Bradley). All the while they are still capable of carrying twelve troops rapidly into battle behind armor capable of stopping anything below a heavy machine gun with armor piercing rounds. The tanks are painted the same dark blue as the infantry's uniforms. Logistics is vital and the Oceonic Forces are constantly drilled and well equipped to keep the Marines fueled, fed, and armed deep into any enemy territory they need to attack.

Inheriting the throne at the age of thirty one King Joseph has reigned for twenty two years, and a successful reign it has been. Building upon the popular image of his father before him Joseph was quickly noted as a charismatic leader and soon became beloved by his people, a state of affairs that has allowed him massive influence in the affairs of parliament. Reigniting nationalistic sentiment Joseph has presided over a period of national expansion and militarism that in large part is owed directly to his influence. Arrogant, but not undeservedly so Joseph is an audacious and boisterous man that tends to direct whatever conversation he enters.

Elected five years ago shortly after the invasion of the Hawaiian Federation Matthew Schmidt is a royal loyalist to the core, and it was under the pretense of empowering the monarchy that his party was elected in the first place. Granting the King renewed command of the armed forces and relegating the civilian government to foreign policy and domestic law Schmidt’s reforms have been cheered by most, but seen as deeply concerning to a quiet few.

Name: Harckocsi model 11 "Kurucz", HK-11, Kurucz Tank
Role: Cruiser Tank
Dimensions: height: 2.1m, width:2.7m, length: 5.5m (main body)
Weight: 19.5 tons
Structure: Steel
Armor: 60mm at the front, 20-30mm at the sides
Main Armament: 50mm L/70 Gun
Crew: 4

Tank symbolizing the League's participation in the Great War. Designed for mobility and fighting other tanks it could cruise in the excess of 50km/h on roads and known to be very dependable off-road. When it was introduced its 50mm high velocity cannon and radically sloped armor made it one of the best tanks known. Although as the war progressed the size and power of tanks kept growing and by 1509 the vehicle was long inadequate to fight newer tank types. In spite of that its reliability and relative ease of production saw the Kurucz in action through the entirety of the Great War and spawned numerous variants.

Name: Makk József Önjáró Löveg, ML-11/ML-17/ML-24 (Makk I/II/III)
Role: Self-propelled Gun, Tank Destroyer
Dimensions: height: 2.1m, width:2.7m, length: 5.5m (main body)
Weight: 15.5 tons (Makk I), 20.5 tons (Makk II), 25.6 tons (Makk III)
Armor: 60/20/20mm (Makk I), 80/30/20mm (Makk II), 120/40/20mm (Makk III)
Main Armament: 75mm L/30 or L/50 (Makk I), 90mm L/40 (Makk II), 105mm L/60 (Makk III)
Crew: 3-4

Self-propelled gun based on the Kurucz chassis. Initially designed as a light assault gun to attack fortifications it played an increasingly greater role as the war raged on. The small turret of the Kurucz was incapable of mounting any larger ordinance thus they hastily turned to the Makk, essentially making it a mobile anti-tank gun. Thanks to its low profile the Makk was largely popular and its latest variant is still used in Hungary and its allies.

Name: Zrínyi Miklós Páncélvadász, HK-48, ML-32, Zrínyi Tank
Role: Tank Destroyer
Dimensions: height: 1.85m, width:3.6m, length: 6.3 (main body)
Weight: 25.5 metric tons
Structure: Aluminium-Steel Microalloy (weighs 40% less than regular steel)
Armor: Spaced armor
Main Armament: 125mm L/50 Gun (50-round autoloader)
Secondary Armament: 12.7mm Heavy Machinegun (remote-controlled)
Crew: 3

Motivated by the success of the Makk series of self-propelled guns the League began developing its successor. The result was the HK-48 Zrínyi, a low profile turretless vehicle mounting 105mm gun (later upgraded to 125mm). It's agile and can pass through difficult terrain. While possessing a very limited traverse the gun overall aims by moving the vehicle. Elevation/depression is handled by the pneumohydraulic suspension which at the time was revolutionary. Overall the Zrínyi was designed for hull-down operations and ambushes where it's non-existent turret would render it almost invisible to the enemy. To further empathize this it even has a dozer blade to dig in prior to assuming position. It has adequate front armor to handle attacks from a distance but due to its turretless design and weak side armor it's unfit for direct combat.

Name: Harckocsi Model 27 "Lehel", HK-27, Lehel Tank
Role: Medium Tank, Main Battle Tank
Dimensions: height: 2.35m, width:3.3m, length: 6.74m (main body)
Weight: 25-35 tons (varies by type and add-ons)
Structure: Varies
Armor: Varies (Great War variants used steel, modern variants use spaced composite)
Main Armament: 90mm or 105mm gun with co-axial machinegun
Secondary Armament: 12.7mm heavy machinegun on anti-aircraft mount
Crew: 4-5

Tank developed during mid-late Great War which took over the Kurucz as the new mainstay armored vehicle in conflicts. It had great mobility, decent armor and more than adequate firepower. As such later variants are pretty much declared MBTs. Thanks to its efficiency yet cheapness there's a wide export market for the Lehel tank albeit it obviously shows signs of age. Due to difficulties to produce sufficient number of Tolid tanks there's a large stock of Lehel tanks in the Hungarian Army's reserve.

Name: Harckocsi Model 56 "Toldi Miklós", HK-56, Toldi Tank
Role: Main Battle Tank
Dimensions: height: 1.89-2.65m, width:3.45m, length: 7.62m (main body)
Weight: 32 tons
Structure: Aluminium-Steel Microalloy (weighs 40% less than regular steel)
Armor: ÖRSI Spaced Composite
Main Armament: 125mm L/50 Gun (w/ autoloader), 7.62mm co-axial gun
Secondary Armament: 20mm Remote-Controlled Autocannon
Crew: 5 (can operate fine even with 3 but the army likes additional manpower for maintenance)

The self-proclaimed tank of the future it was developed in response to ongoing tank race post Great War. It's an ambitious design uniting many of the more recent developments. Thanks to its lightweight aluminum-steel alloy construction and powerful turbodiesel engine the HK-56 is surprisingly agile and just light enough to be air transportable. It sports the ÖRSI composite armor which uses various steels with a specially made fiberglass layer sandwitched within. The main gun is an improved 125mm cannon on a stabilized electric mount which includes even a ballistic computer and laser rangefinder. For smoother ride and to better fit hull down operations the tank has a hydropneumatic suspension with adjustable ride height. The tank also has smoke launchers and all other utilities necessary on the new battlefields. As such the HK-56 is a dangerously effective thank and surprisingly comfortable for the crew, at times jokingly dubbed the "Battle Taxi". On the other hand the HK-56 is anything but cheap. Its work intensive design makes the replacement of the old tank park more difficult. Toldi Miklós is knight from the ancient pre-war Hungarian Mythology.

Name: Önjáró Tüzérségi Löveg Model 36 "Tas", ML-36, Tas SPG
Role: Self-Propelled Artillery
Dimensions: height: 3.55m, width:3.37m, length: 6.55m (main body)
Weight: 30 tons (older variant weighed closer to 50 tons)
Structure: Aluminium-Steel Microalloy (weighs 40% less than regular steel)
Armor: Spaced Armor
Main Armament: 155mm L/60 Gun (w/ autoloader on 15 rounds, 15 RPM)
Secondary Armament: 12.7mm Remote-Controlled Machinegun
Crew: 5

Designed to provide adequate artillery support without needing large numbers the Tas is one of the first self-propelled artilleries utilizing an autoloader to achieve greater rate of fire. It's a modern artillery with ballistic calculators and integrated datalink in order to quickly and more accurately shoot than previous generation artillery. Compared to tanks the Tas has only minimal armor and at best has average mobility. On the other hand thanks to more recent developments the SPG is now light enough to be carried airborne by the largest transport planes.

The uniform of the Royal Guard will be based broadly on this design, though obviously less grungy and rebranded to my purposes. It'll emerge in the IC, I'm sure, so I shan't go into excessive detail here.

Design is based off SeeD concept art from FFVIII.

The Galgorius is Jodesia's only pre-Cataclysmic artefact, and boy is it a doozy (maybe). It was found buried and knackered during preliminary explorations of the Northern territories during the reign of King Galgorius almost one hundred years ago, for whom it was named. It was assumed to be awesome and incredible and therefore was kept entirely secret from the world until the Jodesian scientists, such as they were, managed to operate it - for all of five minutes, in time to fire just one volley of pre-loaded projectiles into the ocean almost 300km away. In order to keep the monstrosity secret (and discourage onlookers from also wishing to hunt in the Northern Territories, further experimentation was done on the Galgorius until they managed to develop a theoretical understanding of operating it; without actually testing it, lest it be discovered. This process continued throughout all of Galgorius' lifetime and well into Queen Marmora's reign.
Once this experimentation was completed, Marmora sought to consolidate her hold of West Lamonia, and so the Galgorius was dismantled insofar as possible and transported piecemeal to West Lamonia where it was rebuilt within a specially-commissioned compound right within the biggest city for all the world to marvel at - and know who was boss, at least on that island.
To this day, the Galgorius has still only been truly fired once, and that was by accident. While the Jodesian military is confident that it could comfortably wipe out a battleship from 200-300km... they have no way of knowing for certain. Fortunately, given that they never worked out how to drive the thing, its range is so huge that they'll never have to move it again.

The image is reasonably true to description. Although it was found in a state of aesthetic disrepair, it has naturally been polished and made all shiny.

Emperor Yáo Xiùlán (Regnial Name: Xiang Jia)- Emperor Xiùlán is the 44th Emperor of the Yáo family, the 5th Dynasty of the Great Han. Currently 22 years of age, comming to the throne after the assassination of his father, Yáo Yǒng, Emperor Yáo is truly an image of subservience, being totally controlled by the demands of the Council. He shows little life in his public appearances, appears to suffer from sever depression and listlessness, and as such is kept out of the public eye as much as possible.

Bei Fang is the Minster of the Interior of the Great Han. He is an unpleasant man to say the least. 67 Years Old, with a quick temper and a sadistic love of retribution; Fang is the man responsible for the many mass deportations that have gone on in the last years. He was also responsible for the Evenki Genocide and the Expulsion of any survivors following the annexation of Evenkia. Fang holds the tightest grip on the Emperor, reminding him that with the right words, he can always do to him what he did to his father.

Bei Meng is the Minister of Foreign Relations, and the younger cousin of Bei Fang. Bei Meng rose to power after the death of the previous minister of the interior, and has been the driving force behind colonization, with the invasions of Bangladesh and Burma being his brainchildren. Meng's cruelty feeds into Fang's sadism, creating a dangerous duo in Great Han Politics

Sun Kongmeng is an accomplished general in service to the Great Han. He lead much of the invasion and conquest of Burma, and has been restationed as of late to the Troublsome areas of the Mongolian Rim.

GOVERNMENT TYPE
The Union operates, on a base level, on the principles of a multi-party Marxist-Leninist Socialist Republic. These individual republics are drawn together into a "State of Union" where the "Federal" and far more powerful organs of government, typically dominated by the largest worker's party, perform most higher level functions such as foreign policy, defence, infrastructure and large scale social programs. The Head of State is known as the Archon, who sits at the head of the Concordia - a body made up of elected representatives of the syndicates and worker's parties, while the secondary and more numerous forms of government are undertaken in the Forum of the Republic's, effectively a parliamentary system allotted by voting subdivisions per republic. The Tertiary forms of government are local governments who organise and in turn administrate low-key matters and their smaller sub-divisions under a degree of control from the central bureaucracy.

The Union constitutes 13 Republics; Hellas, Makedonia, Thracia, Ionia, Pontus, Cappadocia, Armenia, Alania, Bosphora, Phoinike, Iudea, Syria and Seleucia.

HEAD OF GOVERNMENT
Archon Athanasios Eliades

RACE(S)
Idealised Hellenics as an "elite", plenty of average humans and whatever little other groups there are out there.

POPULATION
Extrapolating on a basis of using real world data Post-WW2 and fluffing it a little for that right kind of feel, I'll put 93.5 Million down here.

CULTURE & RELIGION
The Cataclysm and its ensuing changes lead to bloody wars of conquest in the area that became home to the UHSR. The primary "winner" in these areas were considered "Hellenic's" or offshoots of the minor genetic variation that had arisen out of Greece. With a myriad of states having a small elite claiming to hail from a storied region, even if some stories were lost, began a cultural revival, bringing near lost and and even more ancient stories of Hellenic Civilization to the fore. The Greek Pantheon enjoyed a resurgence. The ensuing creation of the UHSR unified these variants of a cultural thread, and although relegating the Pantheon once again, largely, to history, there is a strong theme of Hellenic Civilization, rather than race, being so ancient as to be indestructible even through an end of the world. Such cultural ideas backed up by a grass roots revolution has seen a relatively strong culture willing to fit into the confines of the socialist system, and willing to act as somewhat of a caretaker of other, less fortunate groups and civilizations that come to rest within the Union.

PRE-CATACLYSM TECHNOLOGY
Despite their long time at peace, both the Greek and Turkish Republic long shared an enmity for each other. In the new age of technology, many defensive weapons emplacements were built. While many fell to disrepair or sabotage, a few do remain and are carefully tended to by Preservation Corps of the People's Army. The UHSR also possesses a small number of pre-cataclysm machines designed for mining, potentially deep beyond the current abilities of typical modern means, however, the UHSR lacks the data for a suitable site or the vast supply of radioactives to power them.

HISTORY
When the European Union fell to ash and the world continued to slide into ruin, the racial offshoot, largely wealthy and influential, at one point amusingly labelled "Hellenics" for their pursuit of the ancient greek idea's of beauty and form, became a dominant political force - and being not quite human, more adept at living in a world that had quickly begun to fall apart. The new racial elite quickly came to power in Greece with promises of salvation, and individual groups also waged their own private wars in the near east, bringing the shaky Turkish state to its knees and spreading as far as Syria and Iraq. The slow decline took decades but ultimately ended when technology became a memory or a tool of archival, locked away and presided over by the same elite who had failed to preserve.

The New Hellenic cultural revival that came after the centuries of bloodshed and a reclamation of history and technology is regarded as somewhat of a renaissance, at least by the Hellenic States. Despite everything, however, Hellenic rule was far from the salvation promised, and a world where their old wealth now mattered little combined with dissent both amongst the elite and the people resulted in a bloody series of civil wars that ended with the foundation of the Socialist Republic of Hellas, followed by Thrakia and Ionia, and consequently the foundation of the Union. Concerns turned from warfare to domestic stability and appropriating the now tried and tested Techno-Green policies of Franco-Iberia.

In the years since, The Union of Hellenic Socialist Republics has sought to unify the new pan-hellenic culture and safeguard less fortunate groups whilst pursuing a near-communist internal agenda, though largely without the ensuing terror. Hellenic intervention in Iraq and the Caucasus brought peace to the embattled regions and in turn brought socialism to the fires of the Levant. With Territorial expansion largely secondary, a re-evaluation and re-codification of "Hellenic Culture" was brought to the fore, bringing together all the wonders of the old world with the newly integrated cultures and forming a dialectic around which the Union's noveau Marxist-Leninist ideals could truly work, ultimately forming a doctrine of essentially holding that Hellenic Civilization empowered the worker and an empowered worker had no limits. The deft marriage of a dominant culture, and one that was even an undercurrent in elements of many others, with a socialist dialectic that would not end up in conflict with itself largely began to resolve issues in the Union, allowing both the government to function effectively and spread a new sense of worth and belonging in the populace.

As such, the Union has become an odd hybrid of "idealised" Hellenic civilization fused with a strong central state complimented by a varied and protected populace, all backed up by the agenda of the people having ownership over all possible, with a growing syndicate tradition all but ensuring most notable industries are state or people owned. Despite the associations with a growing terror and the suppression of thought and expression, the fusion of these factors and the plethora of political parties has lead to a balance of state, people and culture, though at the cost of some freedoms and the marginality of some groups.

MILITARY
The Army of the Union is comprised of two branches and its subdivisions, that is, the Citizens Army, itself subdivided between the Proletarian Guard, The Citizen's Air Corps and the larger Citizen's Army itself, As well as The Citizen's Navy.

The Citizen's Army is the lion's share of military capacity in the UHSR, and is made up of any willing to serve, with a caveat allowing conscription during times of emergency or war. Consequently, there is a tradition of serving for one year in a military capacity, though enough exclusions apply to prevent such matters becoming a concern for civil disobedience. As such, the Citizen's Army is largely made up of trained career soldiers, and would form the core element of any times of conscription. They are as such, trained soldiers built with a sense towards civil duty, protection of the revolution and guardianship of hellenic civilization. The Proletarian Guard are an advancement of this, though largely considered "elite" and consequently better trained and better armed. The Proletarian Guard as such also tends to control all "special divisions" in the armed forces for better control. The Citizen's Air Corps, as it's name implies, controls and deploys all aerial assets under the greater instruction of the Citizen's Army or Proletarian Guard.

The Citizens Marine is the smaller aspect of the Armed Forces of the Union. Most of its concern is in coastal security and as such, brown water operations rather than blue water, with many of its ships suited to operating in coastal waters or the Mediterranean. The Citizen's Marine does however possess blue water capability and a number of larger ships built as part of its defensive and power projection evaluations.

The UHSR comprises Greece a sliver of Albania, Much of Bulgaria, Some of Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Some of Caucausian Russia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, a slice of Jordan and Israel.

Nation Name: Malagasy Enterprises (Corporate Madagascar, The Enterprise, Madagascar)
Government Type: Corporate Empire
Head(s) of Government: CEO Amélie Rakotomalala
Persons of Importance: To Be Determined
Race(s): Virtually every old world East African ethnicity is represented in modern Madagascar. Indians, Polynesians, Australians, and South Africans are also represented. While there is a little European blood floating around, there are only a few tiny ethnically European groups in Madagascar: French, Spanish, and Portuguese. However, French culture has mixed heavily with the Malagasy culture, producing a unique French-Malagasy culture which permeates Malagasy Enterprises.

A surprising amount of the human populace - a whopping 30% - has been genetically modified either through tampering or through nuclear radiation. Some of these mutations are relatively minor, but others are much less so.

There are a number of human off-shoots that have developed as a result of either the nuclear war or genetic tampering by the corporate government of Madagascar. It's very possible that both were involved.





Finally, there are other mutants in the territories of Malagasy Enterprises that are not considered part of the population and are not counted among the population. These mutants are hostile, often cannibalistic or bestial, and incredibly dangerous. Among these mutants are "spiders," mutants with eight furry limbs, poisonous blood, and spider-like abilities. There are also "wild" ogres who lack the mental faculties and inhibitions of normal ogres. Other kinds of mutants exist, as do dangerous mutant animals like giant man-eating ants.

Population: 153 million
Culture and Religion: Madagascar is a true "melting pot" of culture in that the different cultures that have come to call the island of Madagascar home have begun to blend together, the lines between them blurring as they are absorbed by the all-encompassing corporate society. The lines between what separates Sudanese refugees from Kenyans, for instance, is highly blurred on the island itself. The French-Malagasy culture is clearly dominant, with society's norms established by the corporate elite who own that heritage. French-Malagasy clothes, silverware, plates, books, etc. are the norm, and smaller ethnic groups have difficulty defending their interests on the island of Madagascar.

This is one reason why so many people have chosen to re-colonize the outlying regions now claimed by Malagasy Enterprises. Societal discontent and a problem of overpopulation on Madagascar have encouraged destitute and adventurous citizens to seek their fortune on the spice islands, in India, and in Australia. Some, too, have returned to the African coast as terraforming efforts begin to transform it into livable, arable terrain. It is in these colonies that the many diverse ethnic groups of Madagascar can truly express themselves, create their own laws, and even elect their own leaders, all while under the ever-watchful eye of the corporate government. Religious and political dissidents have also made similar moves, though anti-Enterprise groups have thus far been quashed time and again.

The pursuit of wealth and scientific achievement are paramount in Corporate Madagascar. Wealth is the standard by which an individual's value is measured, and science is viewed as a means of increasing the value of the corporation as a whole, therefore increasing the value of its citizens as well. There is also a very strong "green" movement that wants to see nature flourish again, and it often works hand-in-hand with science, emphasizing the research of greener methods and greener technologies.

There are certain economic guidelines that most people adhere to in Malagasy. Two of them are conflicting: one states that war is highly profitable, and the other states that war is unprofitable for everyone involved. (Observers educated in the classical arts note the Ferengi from Star Trek have a similar issue within their own economic philosophy.) The corporation seems to spout whichever idea is most immediately applicable to its interests, though a great many lawmakers in the corporate nation have noted that both sayings can be true, and neither should be taken as an absolute truth. So, Malagasy Enterprises can neither be described as inherently warlike or peaceful, though it is certainly expansionist.

Before the apocalypse, the French and Malagasy languages were both state languages of Madagascar. This remains the case in the new era, and virtually everyone in Corporate Madagascar speaks one or both of those languages. A vast majority of the populace is bilingual, and a solid third are trilingual, often speaking the two state languages along with a foreign language or the language of their heritage.

Religiously, most of the populace identifies as Christian, though these Christian beliefs have mixed irrevocably with the native Malagasy religion. Ancestors and angels alike serve as guardian figures in this mixed religion (and sometimes are one and the same), and Andrianerinerina is now analogous with Jesus. There are some people who worship "purer" native or Christian beliefs, and there are also atheists and agnostics, but each of these is a minority.

Pre-Cataclyism Technology: Some of the relics owned by Malagasy Enterprises seem futuristic in the post-war world (hence their slogan: "Reinventing the Future"). Perhaps the most valuable piece of technology is the VT, or Vehicular Terraformer. Created by pre-war scientists who foresaw a great catastrophe, this device is used to "scrub" radioactive waste, remove toxins from the earth and air, and can turn barren landscapes into fertile paradises. Of course, there are only a handful of VTs available, each of which is heavily guarded when fielded, and the corporate empire has no intentions of sharing this technology with its neighbors (though Madagascar has been known to "hire out" a rare few terraformers with heavy escorts). Thus far, Malagasy Enterprises has been unable to create their own VTs, but they've made some major advances in the fields of biology and chemistry as a result of their research.

Another highly important holdover from the past is a rather advanced knowledge of the human genome... and several ways to modify it. Malagasy Enterprises has conducted many genetic experiments on its populace, sometimes selecting volunteers and sometimes conducting it on unwitting individuals. This has resulted in some "changed" individuals in society, some whose changes are barely perceptible and others whose changes are very overt.

A wealth of civilian technology from the past - high tech microwaves, quality radios, household computers, electric furnaces, etc. - still remain in Malagasy hands. Like most pre-war technologies, Malagasy has used this as a starting point to reinvent the "past future," though their designs are not yet quite up to snuff when compared to pre-war civilian devices.

Finally, the conquest of South Africa led to the discovery of a hidden bunker of highly advanced sixteen foot tall mechanized battle suits. The researchers in charge of the operation apparently sabotaged their own research and committed suicide in light of the nuclear apocalypse, but that hasn't stopped Malagasy Enterprises from investing a huge sum of money into unlocking the secrets of this technology. They've been largely unsuccessful thus far, but they've kept the operation as secret as possible, and they've begun fielding some of the prototypes to test out their abilities in the field. After all, the possibility of leaving a few dead pilots is worth illuminating the potential powers of this technology.

History: The nuclear holocaust saw the destruction of a great many nations across the world. The wanton destruction wrought by the leaders of Earth unquestionably changed life all over the globe. No country was spared change... but a few places were spared the missiles. Madagascar was one such nation.

Madagascar still suffered, however. Whole communities of immigrants began flocking to the untouched island in wake of the destruction, and it did not take long for fighting to break out on the isle. The national government, anti-immigration factions, immigrant factions, independence factions, and ambitious military leaders all tangled with one other in a terrible, brutal war that encompassed the entirety of the island. From this mess arose an unexpected victor: Malagasy Enterprises, formerly known as the East Africa Trade Group.

Before the nuclear war, several major businesses and corporations with their fingers in Africa united to form a megacorporation called the East Africa Trade Group. This included branches of the Bank of Africa and several companies across eastern Africa, western Australia, France, and India. Some of the major players had the foresight to move their funds and resources into Madagascar, though at the time this was done to avoid paying taxes, not to avoid the nuclear war. With the world in ruins and Madagascar isolated, it was easy for the East Africa Trade Group to take over the island under the pretense of "assisting" the destabilized government. It did not take them long to shed this premise and establish themselves as the new government.

After rebranding themselves as Malagasy Enterprises, Madagascar's rulers set about reestablishing trade around the Indian Ocean and taking control of weaker parts of the region. The corporation was more than happy to use its dissidents as settlers in less hospitable regions of the world even as they used pre-war terraforming technology to begin cleaning radioactivity along the coast of Africa and making the land green and fertile. This helped Madagascar evolve into an agricultural powerhouse with an iron grip on regional trade, and over the coming years Madagascar started expanding its trade exploits north into the Mediterranean and east past Malaysia.

Colonial efforts became bolder as another global power entered the field: the Great Han. Malagasy's corporate government became highly competitive with the Great Han, trying to match their vessels ship-for-ship and trying to out-colonize and out-trade them at every turn. This rivalry has sped up technological and economic development on Madagascar as Malagasy Enterprises tries to find an answer to the Great Han's advanced navy.

And over the course of its expansionist, aggressively capitalist history, the Enterprise has managed to earn the ire of its closest neighbor: the Democratic Republic of the Congo. War with this smaller yet highly militarized state has been a drain on Madagascar's resources in recent years. Colonial ventures are costly to start up as well, though Malagasy has found them to ultimately be highly profitable, and Australian tribes have waged guerilla warfare against Malagasy colonists since their first efforts to tame the little continent.

That is the state of things for Malagasy Enterprises: the corporate nation has its attention being tugged at from three cardinal directions. It seeks to increase its trade in the north, seeks to quell the Congolese threat to the west, and needs to secure more colonies in the east even as Australia and the Great Han are fighting to make that impossible. The world's first true corporate empire has quite the struggle ahead of it.

Military: Malagasy Enterprises boasts a sizeable, varied army. Its colonies field their own troops, but the corporate nation also commands an impressive fleet and an experienced, well trained army.

Malagasy Enterprises' professional forces are supplemented by militia forces and colonial armies. The professional army is split into three branches:

Foreign Relations: To Be Determined

Most Divine Imperial Republic of Nippon


Imperial Republic of Fuso, Fuso





Imperial Republic - Power is divided between the Emperor and the Imperial Senate. The Senate has elected representatives from all corners of Fuso and elects a Prime Minster who leads the Senate and has control over domestic affairs but is not commander in chief. It is the Emperor who wields the military power of Fuso; and while he technically only has power over the army, his influence grows into that of the Senate.

The Emperor is chosen from the Royal Bloodline and is always chosen based on who is the oldest meaning that several Empresses have existed. Emperor/Empresses are expect to have multiple wives/husbands to provide them with suitable heirs to the throne, those who do not become heirs often end up as elected officials or military officials.


His Holiness Emperor Shiatasu Shou

Prime Minster Kazuhaga Niyoma



Director Gendao Hikari

Princess Hiatomi Shou



Humans - Fuso is largely human, however much of the human population is tainted by radiation and no longer a "pure human genome". This is evident that those born in Japan tend to develop and mature physically faster than children from other areas, sometimes creating high-school aged Shujinkos who look like they should be in middle-school or people in their 20's who looked to be in their teens. Japanese is still the largest race as one might expect, traces of other former Asian nations exist but in even smaller quantities than before the nukes.

Shujinkō - Humans who have mutated enough DNA to warrant their own "race". Shujinkos can be seen as super humans in a way, often boasting greater speed, agility, strength and durability. Male Shujinkos also have an almost supernatural way of attracting females to their side. They are often seen as the "superior" humans by some, however many Shujinko do not see themselves to be something incredible enough to warrant being called "superior"; many just want to live normal lives.

Nekomimi - One of the more mutated strains of human, Nekomimi is more of an umbrella term which covers those who have animal-like traits such as ears or tails. The most common of them is cat ears although there is a wide variety of other animals expressed.


The unified Japanese culture has changed little since days of the old world; there is still an emphasis on nature, perfection, hard work and beauty in the traditional sense. Pop culture has also not seen a great change since the days of the past, anime and manga enjoying a boom however as they are now seen as an integral part of the culture and in some places, the defining culture. Children still go to school wearing uniforms and then work their ass off to get into a good university to get a job, many people live in comfy apartments that reach for the sky (the government actually promotes people to live in them as it saves space) and life goes on.

However, the greatest change (and difference) from the old Japan is the social attitude on sex and sexuality which has is signifcantly more liberal if you could call it that. There is little question that pre-war Japan was (in)famous for its lewd content, but they seem to be even more prevalent in modern times (Himiko the first Golden Sun Queen might actually be to blame for this as she was quite a deviant in her younger years).


In the old world, Japan was seen as a land of some of the greatest technological advancements on earth, especially in terms of robotics and electronics. Such talents have not gone to waste in the time since then with advancement policies being pushed since the reign of the first Empress of the Imperial Republic. Power plants have been reactivated, research labs powered up once more and factories churn their cogs and gears to the sound of machinery; the technological heart of Fuso beats once more as the Imperial Republic presses on to its "divine destiny" of progress in a bid to become the most technologically advanced nation on Earth.

The ancient skill of Nippon steel folding has also been preserved, allowing for some terrifically sharp blades to be made.
Nippon steel folded 10³⁴ times motherfuckers, metal sharp as katana, go home western gaijin.


While they clearly show little interest in expanding territorially, they do expand quite heavily in trade and influence. Given that Japan was never one to have a great plethora of resources, they commonly trade with several other nations, the most notable of them is with the Greater Han Empire which, like ancient Japan, the Imperial Republic holds in a positive light. In a bid to reclaim its old world title, Fuso often exports various forms of technology ranging from electronics to mechanical components.

There is also a very large entertainment industry through the myriad amount of manga and art which artists produce. And although there are black and white shows on television, colored animations is actually amongst Fuso most prized products; all hand drawn and be viewed simply by shining a light through the film. This has influenced the spread of merchandise based on both current and old world shows, animes and character. In a similar note, the adult entertainment industry is almost as equally as wide spread, well known and varied as its vanilla counterpart. The two combined create something of a tourism industry and cement Fuso's place as the top entertainment producer in the world.

In terms of food, Fuso is actually semi-self sufficient through the use of Hyper-Rice and Hyper-Oats, pre-war genetically modified crops meant to give Fuso a stable food source in the increasingly unstable pre-war world. Such plants are grown on great floating platforms which can also hold housing and industry as they where originally made to solve another one of Japan's pre-war problems: space. It can be said that it is the combination of Hyper-Crops and the floating platform is what allows Fuso to continue its very defensive attitude.


When the bombs began to fall, the old Japanese government had tried its best to shelter its massive population, but losses where suffered. The land was purged of all those who failed to find safe hiding spots, but those who made it to shelter found themselves in the best that Japan's technology. Life was good, communications between shelters were constant, supplies were plentiful and living was comfortable. And then the ocean came.

Since the times long ago, Japan's relation with the ocean was a finicky one; sometimes the ocean swept away all invaders who dared to try and invade its sacred soil, other times it came in like a monster, destroy all in its path. People used to use prayers and worship to try and calm the seas, then they built walls and tide control mechanisms but the nukes had damaged them so badly that they were unserviceable and failed to do their duty. The waves rushed in, damaging countless shelters and killing many but humans are sometimes too stubborn to die properly at the hands of mother nature.

However, the damage had done a number on the shelters as many where no longer connected to each other and with each consecutive generation the unified Japanese culture also began to weaken as each shelter began to create its own identity. So when they began to walk out of their shelters, there was no more unified "Japanese" culture. As a result, Japan once again had fractured into dozens of tiny factions that grew into tribes, then into clans, then into kingdoms. The clans fought and destroyed each other in a bid for power until she came along, Himiko, the Golden Sun Queen.

Her origins unknown, but Himiko claimed to be the sole surviving member of the old Japanese Imperial Army and had swiftly conquered all of the other clans, sometimes with sweet talk and diplomacy, other times with threats and war. Some say it was through her skill alone, some say it was supernatural, some suspect even more than that but no matter what people though, Himiko had done what was thought to be impossible. And as such she is revered as a Goddesses to this day with heir descendants still on the throne of Japan.

Since then, Fuso has become what it is known today as the Imperial Republic, a system that some might say is a blending of old world systems. In order to solve the issue of a divided culture, Himiko had actually unified Japan under something the old Japan had been famous for: Anime. And while not isolationist like the Japan of olden times, they certainly prefer not to get involved in messy wars and the like, much more content to sit on whats left of their island and research away in trying to build a new future not just for them, but for everyone.


Militarily, Fuso has adopted what can be called a "Swiss Doctrine"; heavy defenses and a small but well trained and equipped standing army supported by reserve militia. The coasts of Fuso are lined with coastal naval guns, AA guns and sea walls with boats making regular patrols along sections of the beach that are reserved for civilian enjoyment use.

Perhaps on of the more questionable aspects of the Imperial Republic's military (at least to foreign eyes) is the use of "Hospitality Corps", units of mostly women who serve as chiefs, maids, nurses and sexual outlets for soldiers. The government assure that they all are well looked after and are paid well but ONI's recent interest in them has raise more than a few eyes domestically amongst all levels of society.


The ground forces of the new Fuso is officially referred to as the "Imperial Republican Fusan Army" or "IRFA", sometimes given the pet names of "Irfa" (which also happens to be the name of its anime mascot). An interesting blend of modern and traditional, martial melee skills still hold high respect within its ranks with many carrying swords as a sign of prestige, achievement or honor.

Infantry wise, the IRJA is divided between its two classes of "Kachi" and "Ashigaru", the former being the professional standing army and the latter being the reserve militia which backs them up. Both are drawn upon the civilian populace that once a child turns 12, they begin unofficial military training and at 16 start actual military training to become Ashigaru. Should they wish continue their military carrier, they become Kachi. Women are not excluded from military service in an almost sort of homage to Himiko and her personal retinue of female warriors.

The "elites" of the army are divided into two semi-seperate entities, the Imperial Guard and the Republican Guard. The Republican Guard is what you would expect of a modern elite unit using some of the best equipement Fuso can offer. They specialize in all the things which Kachi cannot, basically being a mixture of Marines and Airborne units. The Imperial Guard on the other hand is a much more traditional unit that many might see as ceremonial at first given their emphasis on traditional melee-focused units. However, its well known that the Imperial Guard is undoubtedly better than the Republican Guard as they are chosen as the bodyguards of the Imperial Family. With many of them being Shujinkos, writing them off as simply a bunch of people in fancy armor is a very costly mistake as their zeal and skill are unmatched.












In terms of armor, IRJA has a strange fixation on walker-type mechas, no doubt an influence from the anime culture which the Golden Sun Queen used to bind the clans into a unified culture.




Offensively, the Imperial Republican Fusan Navy (IRFN) is a rather weak and under whelming force, consisting mostly of patrol boats and several types of armored convoy ships; the strongest ship that's in regular use can be compared to a heavy cruiser. All ships go under the prefix of TEO (The Emperor's/Empresses's Own). The common tactic of the IRFN is the "Unity Soul" tactic where ships are to swarm enemy ships with their mass numbers to make up for the low strength of each individual ship. While some might say that this is a foolish and suicidal move, IRJN sailors are experts at boarding and close quarters combat and the small ships they have are often difficult to hit at high speed, even more so in large numbers. Its not uncommon for the IRFN to commandeer enemy ships and use them even after the battle, in fact several ships currently in service were once pirate ships that have been highjacked by the IRJN. Many sailors are also former pirates and smugglers who've been enlisted into the IRFN's ranks as they know the sea better than any amount of training could do.

Defensively, Fuso counts coastal defenses to be under the command of the IRFN and it is far more impressive and dangerous than the actual fleet itself. A complex system of bunkers, trenches, naval guns and AA positions run along much of the coast. The most prized of these are the Three Mountains, the three massive guns of the battleship Yamato from WW2 whose caliber remain unrivaled and can easily fuck up anyone's day. One is located in Tokyo Harbor, another in Nagasaki and the third located in Nagoya.

The IRFN's mascot is named "Irfin" and the flagship of the fleet is the heavy carrier Nihon Maru, named after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's epic flagship during the Imajin War, which is almost a battleship in its own right.









Standing for Office of National Intelligence, ONI is basically the Imperial Republic's CIA on drugs. Not only does it handle intelligence operations, it handles basically all the secret projects and things which are hidden from public eye included some very, very questionable deeds. They also tend to be the Emperor's/Empresses's choice of handling discreet objectives as well as the most common type of support Fuso will send abroad, hence its nick name of the "Emperor's Shadow" or the "Emperor's Demons", fitting given their name. They routinely act of their own accord and are disdained as "the most dishonorable" part of Fuso. Their extreme pragmatism is only match by their seemingly limitless resources.

Rumor persist that ONI actually controls the technology within the Imperial Republic and have actually far surpassed that of any other nation and just keeping it all under lock and keep. Others claim that they are trying to take control of power from the Emperor and the Senate, some even dare say they hope to even surpass the power of God. Such claims have been refuted as vivid conspiracy theories, but given what some of their Ghosts use, they might be more than what they claim to be.






The IRJ doesn't actively try to expand territorially into mainland Asia since they prefer not to piss off their next door neighbor, the Han, and that pre-war Japan had built several large, floating platforms and towns in the ocean to try and help solve space issues which has worked to great success so much so that the current government is trying to do the same.

The USS Victoria is a massive amphibious assault submarine. It is designed to be able to act as both a traditional amphibious assault ship and a submarine. The Victoria is an absolutely massive submarine and has many of the facilities one would expect to find on a normal aircraft carrier. Its primary power source is a nuclear reactor, however it also has fuel cells that it can use when it wants to operate silently. While it is not designed to engage other naval vessels in direct combat it does possess a variety of missiles, torpedoes, and CIWS.

Sentinel patrol boats are small stealth craft designed to be able to perform a number of maritime operations ranging from scouting to transporting troops. These ships are lightly armored and armored, relying on speed and stealth to avoid hostile fire. These craft come with a single 20mm railgun and can be outfitted with two 8mm machine guns if needed.

By the time the Cataclysm had begun the F-41 Firefly, models C and E, had become the US Navy’s primary carrier based fighter. At the time it was noted for being a nimble fighter, able to use a combination of its particle-beam weapon and 20mm railgun to great effect on enemy fighters. The VTOL capabilities of the E model made it especially sought after for the use on carriers. Unfortunately it was noted as lacking staying power in a fight, having only four hardpoints and a low fuel capacity when compared to contemporary aircraft.
In Service: 12

The F-42B Starfire was designed as an ‘all-purpose’ aircraft. The use of modular parts allows for the craft to be geared better towards different roles in between sorties and also make it easier to upgrade. The Starfire is noted for being an incredibly fast fighter, much more so than the Firefly, however this comes at the cost of the Firefly’s agility. The Starfire is equipped with a particle-beam weapon, two 20mm railguns, and eight hardpoints that can be fitted with missiles, bombs, or fuel tanks.
In Service: 4

The AH-5 Tiger is an attack helicopter designed to provide ground troops with close air support. It is equipped with two 20mm railguns and two rocket pods. The Tiger is noted for being a durable craft, although its wings are weak points.
In Service: 8

The UH-7 Super Mustang is a massive transport craft capable of carrying either a platoon of soldiers or an armored vehicle. It is well armored, but lacking in armaments thus requires an escort.
In Service: 2

The M4A1 Armstrong is an IFV capable of fighting main battle tanks and is designed to float, allowing it to “swim” in water. It has a three man crew and is capable of carrying ten soldiers into combat. It is equipped with a 20mm railgun and 7mm machinegun and can be outfitted with a rocket pod, anti-air missile, grenade launcher, and other armaments depending on its mission.

Advanced Warrior Armor is a pre-Cataclysm set of power armor designed for use by the US marine corps. The armor is designed to provide the soldier with protection from various kinds of danger including chemical weapons while also increasing the user’s strength. Despite the intent to protect from chemical and biological weapons, it was well known that the Advanced Warrior Armor’s filtration system would only last a few minutes before being burned out by contemporary chemical weapons; it is not known how useful it would be in protecting the user from “modern” chemical weapons.
