Military:

Equipment:

Armenian forces make do with equipment that is mostly of Polish origin (owing to the close military relations between the two states), although certain elements are domestically designed. Stolen Ottoman equipment, while present in large numbers in the opening days of the revolution, have since been sold to Poland in an arms-buyback program to trade in for Polish equipment at more favorable prices.

Basic infantry equipment for frontline troops is surprisingly sophisticated, owing to the Armenians' emphasis on soldier protection (to compensate for a smaller population.) A fighting load can consist of a solid-colored battledress uniform with a steel helmet and armor (a ballistic Nylon vest with manganese steel plates) that provide protection to shrapnel (the effectiveness against bullets is highly debatable.) Atop this is a harness-type loadbearing vest, often accompanied by a rucksack (large or small) depending on the mission.

Standard armament consists of a heavier 7.62mm battle-rifle weapon with a smaller 9mm sidearm. The arsenal also maintains designated light/medium machineguns, marksman rifles, shotguns for close quarters battle, submachine guns for MP and urban units, hand grenades, antitank rocket launchers, mines, rifle grenades, and longer-range sniper rifles.

Organization:

The Armenian military, being tasked with local areas of operation, is modeled mainly on a geographic basis. Two Corps formations are settled in East and West Armenia, further subdivided into four Divisions that take up a regional space. Regiments comprise the basic unit of Armenian military structure, specializing in specific tasks relevant to their operating environment.

A special exception is the segregated Armenian Foreign Legion which does not act as a geographic force but instead focuses on regimental units comprised of specific ethnic groups to act as front-line shock troops who undertake the most dangerous missions anywhere in the Armenian zones of conflict. This is largely modeled after France's legion.

The smaller structures of the Armenian military follow, more or less, a European continental command and staff structure adopted from the Ottoman military (which in turn was adopted from countries like France in particular.)

Characters:

Government:

- Hasmik Assanian: The President of the Republic of Armenia. A former Ottoman military draftee and defector, he became the principal leader of the Armenian Separatist Front after the Battle of Nor Yerzenka. He oversaw the successful revolution and thoroughly humiliated the Ottoman Turkish occupation forces, earning him a landslide victory in the interim elections of 1977 and then the first formal elections in 1980.
- Serzh Dashnakian: A famed Armenian historian and professor who, after the revolution, became the head proponent and organizer of the Armenian NSS's cryptanalysis section. He is instrumental to the Armenian intelligence scene.
- Jordan Ivakon: The Russian-Armenian Minister of War. During the 1977-1980 interim government, Ivakon was a part of the "troika" making decisions in the militarized government. A former ASF commander, he is regarded as harsh yet cunning in his policies and management of the Ministry of War, including giving consent for a secret false flag operation to set the final stages of the conflict in motion.
- Levon Ladaryan: The unorthodox and morally questionable head of the National Security Service. Ladaryan is responsible, for the most part, for the black and grey operations conducted by the NSS during the war. He tends to greenlight whatever he thinks will work, regardless of legality, so long as it is kept silent and efficient.
- Joseph Pollundrian: The American-born Vice President and Assanian's closest friend. He volunteered as a fighter with the ASF in the Nagorno-Karabakh and proved his leadership abilities in the management of the fight in South Armenia. He ran with Assanian in his campaigns as a symbol of solidarity.
- Aram Terzian: A young, bright, idealistic former engineer elected to the director of the National Recovery Administration and tasked with rebuilding the nation. He is one of Assanian's most trusted department heads and a fervent ultranationalist. He is often controversial with the parliamentary conservatives with his Keynesian economics practices.

Military:

- Haroud Abbasian: A military officer from the Artaskh. Abbasian began his career as a conscript during the waning year of the ceasefire, and took part in the final three month blitzkrieg across Erzurum. After ending his service, he became bored with civilian life and joined again to become an officer in the newly-formed Armenian Foreign Legion.
- Mikael Gregovyen: Once a decorated war hero, Gregovyen commands an elite special operations force for the Armenian central intelligence service: the NSS Special Actions Unit. He is currently deployed to Georgia, conducting black operations against bandits and dissident insurgents.
- Victor Ohanian: The commander of the military and governmental intelligence staff for President Assanian and a close member of the cabinet. A veteran of countless battles during his service as an Ottoman officer, Ohanian is another instrumental part of the intelligence system in Armenia.
- Hassam Sulayev: An officer in the Armenian Foreign Legion of Yazidi descent. He is one of Abbasian's closest friends and an excellent leader.
- George Yaglian: A border guard who recently ended his tour on the Georgian-Armenian border and was reassigned to supplement existing security forces at Joint Base Sevan Lake. He is an aspiring musician with dreams of making it big playing Armenian-infused jazz with the stars in culturally-rich Sevan.

Civil:

- George Vartanesian: The captain of the MV Breadwinner of Rize, a commercial vessel part of the Armenian Merchant Marine, and a veteran seaman. Formerly tasked with trading across the Black Sea with Poland, he is now responsible for the first Armenian circumnavigation of the globe in an international show of force.
- Paul Gredakjian: A civil engineer heading the reconstruction efforts in Artashat, the hardest-hit city of the war. He is known for his ingenuity and creativity, even if his efforts often run above budget and over schedule.
- Fatima Abbasian: Lieutenant Haroud Abbasian's mother, a Muslim living in the segregated ghetto of Stepanakert along with her other child (Haroud's sister) Maya. She is a widow, her husband having been killed by Azeri rocket attacks in the Artsakh skirmishes.

NAMING CONVENTION
"Ethiopians do not use surnames. The same system is used by both Christians and Muslims. An individual's name consists of his proper name followed by his father's name. Individuals are, there-fore, normally referred to by their proper (i.e. first) name. Both the proper name and the father's name may have two components; thus a name may consist of three or four words. In addition secular or religious titles may be added to one or both names. (See glossary for titles). Many Ethiopian names are, in effect, phrases. Wives do not take their husbands' names. Three courtesy titles are used in Ethiopia: Ato (Mr), Woizero (Mrs), and Woizerit (Miss)." (citation: "Layers of Time: A History of Ethiopia" by Paul B. Henze)

History of Hungary

Hungary didn't want to be in the Great War, but since they were part of the Austrian - Hungarian Empire they didn't have a choice. They joined the Central Power when the war began, fighting off Serbia and Romania for gaining land within Hungary. Realizing that this war was getting too costly, they protested about the war at the Hofburg Palace with pitchforks, Charles I through that they were going to kill him. So, Charles told the guards to open fire on the protesters and they went outside and fired at the protesters. Twenty people died due to the Charles' choice and it is called, The Hofburg Massassce. After hearing the news, Hungarians rebelled against Austria and fought the military until 1922. Charles I officially surrendered to the Allies after protesters were at his gate and fired at the palace. After the war, Hungary lost its only sea port at Fiume and the industrial base from its sources of raw materials in The Treaty of Versailles. It caused Hungary's economy to collapse, but some people have hope. A few months later, a revolt happened for which party would be the main one. Protesters choice sides and fought each other until one stool over anyone else. The remaining parties were The Hungarian Socialist Party and The Hungary Parliamentary, calmed the people and held a vote for which is the party that Hungary was going to be. And In 1929, The Parliamentary Party won by sixty-four percent, while Socialist Party lost by forty-six percent, the people were happy with the votes either know some say that the votes were rigged. The President and Prime Minister were voted a year later, Don Csonka and Alfréd Bakó won by sixty-two percent and entered office. President Don Csonka's first task was to restore the economy, industrialized the nation once more, and help the people out. He is called 'The Greatest President in Hungarian History' for a reason: he pulled the country out of bankruptcy, he gave women rights in 1931, improved factories and farms, child labor was banned, and improvements in the army and air forces were made. During his second term: he increased the value of Hungary's imports, he formed all ten national parks, ten landscape protection areas, and fifty minor nature reserves within four years, he restored eight of the landmarks within Hungary, and improved relations with other countries (most countries on the Allies' side). The people were upset when his terms were up, but he later when to service as Prime Minister and was on the National Assembly until he retired in 1970 at the age of 75. When Hungarian was planning to invade Ukraine in '76, they send fake files about Ukraine attacking Poland to trick them. It did work as their relation decreased and Hungary attacked the Ukraine in July. The Hungary army was divided into two main branches, a northern one heading for Lviv and later Kyiv and a southern one aiming for Odessa and Crimea. The southern forces did not get very far due to logistical problems, but the northern branch managed to advance very deep into the Ukrainian territory and captured Lviv, forcing the Polish to act quickly. In a series of aerial and artillery strikes the Hungarian forces near advancing to Lviv were decimated and forced to retreat. Then The Bloodly Nights happened and that ended the war on Poland and Ukraine, on April, 13, 1970. After the war, Don Csonka was ashamed for the country's army and ability to fail at capture Ukraine (which they joined Poland). His dying words were that he was ashamed to be Hungarian and died due to natural causes. The President felt ashamed of Don's last words and dropped out of officer in April, 25 and the Prime Minster became President. Adél Bak was the granddaughter of Don Csonka and many believed that she could become like Don, but she has doubts. A few days later, Hungarians celebrate fifty years since Don Csonka entered officer and Adél gave a speech on that day. Now, the country waits from her first move.

República Federativa do Brasil (The Federative Republic of Brazil) Map of Brazil and the Surrounding Continent:

South American Map

History of Brazil: Brazil, for a long time prior to 1914, had been long rocked by civil wars and rebellions, rapidly switching governments. However, in 1921, a military coup finally solidified Brazil's government. Under more organized control at last, the people were more oppressed, however, their economy also boomed, based off of a large agricultural and lumber industry, which eventually boosted them into more advanced markets such as manufacturing. This sudden rise in power inflated the military council's bureaucracy. As time went on, the military gradually lost control to a group of corporations designated to run the state businesses, but were actually more independent. In 1925, the military council fought the corporations and their liberal revolt, and the corporations won. They intended to establish complete plutocratic control over the government. However, due to massive public outcry, the corporations separated and a civilian democratic government was formed. Capitalism- and democracy- boomed. Long a trading partner of the US, the Brazilian economy reeled from the major stock market crash of 1929. As a result, it turned its exports to more neighboring countries such as Argentina and Chile, gradually strengthening its relations among its Latin American peers. During this time, the government had accumulated massive debt to its own people as well as foreign sources of capital, and when another military coup was attempted and the new government tried to default on its debt, there was a massive backlash which returned the government to civilian control. Into the 1930s, with the growth of the economy and the middle class, corporate power grew, making sure that they would not be easily regulated, and forming trust-like monopolies in some cases. The following decades were mostly peaceful, as Brazil along with most of the South American countries became more isolated from the rest of the world and their conflicts. Brazil's strengthening of ties with other South American countries lead it to establish Spanish as a second official language. Seeing the rise of communism, the major corporations tried to exert more control over the civilian government. Massive protests erupted over corruption and corporate control, and the corporations backed down. The civilian government gained further control and split many of the monopoly-like corporations as a result of its new-found power. In 1970, there was a major rebellion by those who opposed the closer ties with the rest of Latin America, and that rebellion was eventually stamped out, although there was some significant damage. During this time, however, Brazil paid off many of the debts it had incurred in the earlier part of the century, placing it back on strong economic footing. Under Sofia Veracruz's presidency from 1968 to 1976, the influence of corporations and economic magnates over the civilian government was finally eradicated. Brazil adopted a much more left-wing economic model, using the profits from the economic growth achieved in the earlier part of the century to invest further without the need for loans. Adriano Claro's presidency further progressed this policy, placing many core industries under government control. Brazil's military forces were rapidly inflated in response to the massive growth of the Communist bloc, with weapons and equipment purchased mostly from Poland and a resurgent Britain. Scientific research has also benefited as a result, with investment in rocket technology beginning. Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is definitely a problem, even though it hasn't yet been seriously considered. Brazil's economy is still rapidly increasing in size and is promoted by developmental policies exerted by the current government, and the population has boomed as well in response. Brazil participated in limited diplomatic efforts during the late 1970s, fostering ties with the rising Eurasian powers of Ethiopia, Armenia, and the Slavic Union. In particular, trade ties with the Slavic Union have allowed Brazil to modernize its military to some extent to be able to deal with rising threats in both the East and West. Brazil feels a substantial kinship with Ethiopia and Armenia, and as such is committed to helping them and ensuring a positive relationship.

Nation:
Chile

Leader:
Luis Sepulveda.

History:
Coming out of the 1891 Civil War Chile had established a system closely resembling that of a parliamentary democracy, but with a weakened President. The years preceding the Great War would be spent in a naval arms race with Argentina and eventually Brazil that ended at the onset of the War due to the reality that most manufacturers of vessels were focused on their own fleets.

Neutral in WW1 Chile decided to take position as economic support, however in practice the large German minority in Chile influenced things to the point that almost all business was done with Germany and the Central Powers. By the end of the Great War Chile had benefited from its exports, particularly the abundant Nitrate deposits that had been vital for decades. While the end of the war brought about a period of depression profits kept in reserve helped keep the nation afloat in the crisis, though only the elite were able to weather it without worry. Indeed in 1926 while the elite who largely controlled the parliament gorged themselves on the nations wealth even in rough times an increasingly powerful working class founded a Marxist party that to the surprise of many gained massive popularity among young officers in the military. Seeing the older military command having been bribed into submission much of the enlisted followed suit. With the new Marxist party gaining rapid support across the nation and in the military the Chilean parliament was panicked. Fearful of violent revolution, which many were convinced was going to happen, parliament attempted to bribe Marxist politicians and even the candidate many favoured for president. In 1928 with these bribed Marxists now in both the parliament and the presidency the old elite felt assured that under false representation the public would be content.

That decision would prove disastrous. With supposedly docile Marxists in their ranks the old elite continued their normal behaviour for another two years before enough information was gained to signal a coup. Led by the president that was thought to be a puppet by parliament the coup was rapid and effective, dismantling the old parliament and military command in three days. As a result President Jose Baer set up the first truly Socialist Chilean government in 1930. A new constitution followed and a sort of Socialist Republic was born after a process in which opinions were gained from most prominent individuals to determine how the nation should be run. Following elections held immediately after Jose Baer retained the presidency with little contest.

Sweeping reforms would follow through the 1930’s and 40’s that focused on building infrastructure and improving education, the economy, and working conditions. In this time many candidates would run against the Socialist candidates and gain significant representation. This balance was generally approved of and kept private interest alive in Chile, though usually under strict government supervision. Ties were strengthened with neighbouring South American nations regardless of political affiliation but rather on the basis of continental solidarity and exports continued much as they did before the coup, with both local and distant international partners keeping the Chilean economy strong and versatile with and the government alongside private industry trading abroad.

With a reliably strong economy Chile continued to develop in much the same way with huge investments in infrastructure and other amenities gradually changing many impoverished areas for the better. This state of affairs proved stabilizing and where many other states would see unrest, Chile would remain secure. However this emphasis on the public would only continue until the 1970’s. Seeing a strong destabilization of global affairs in the decade along with instability in nearby Brazil which despite historical political differences had remained an ally a public shift led to the election of Luis Sepulveda in 1973. Leading a campaign based on increased national security Sepulveda brought about a revival of the military purchasing equipment from various international sources and starting numerous programs to expand industrial centers for the arms industry. In the period Sepulveda brought about little in the form of political change but did place a strong emphasis on South American unity, reinforcing ties with the SAC and looking to local industry before going elsewhere in almost every case. Re-elected in 1979 Sepulveda presides over a strong Chilean economy with a rejuvenated military, however not all are pleased with his methods and for the first time in decades there are stirrings of instability with many groups stating the expansion of the military risks the degradation of Chilean society.

Military:

The Chilean military has historically taken second place to domestic spending however in recent times has experienced sweeping reforms and rearmament. Focusing on with the navy Chile has sought to command its sector of the Pacific and has refurbished Easter Island with a substantial offshore naval base. In addition efforts have been made to reequip the air force with a variety of high endurance bomber and fighter aircraft to protect the Chilean coast. Comparatively army expenditures have been less, but the upgrades have still been significant. Working to have all soldiers well trained has been the highest priority and new equipment has been gradually coming in to replace an aging base of arms.
