History of the Nation (Self Explanatory):
It all began with the fall of Athens. Caliphatian bombs blotted out the sky, and after all the destruction, they nuked it for good measure, a city of 2 million decimated to a population of ten thousand. Those who survived got onto multiple arc tiered ships (Each ship can hold 2000 as a comfortable amount, and a total of up to 5000), and they sailed too Cyprus to try and pick up more people for the plan of Julius Constantinus Caesar, or as he is known to the population of the Kingdom, the Savior of the Greek People. After two years in Cyprus, officially making it 2082, they sailed to Crete, where they stopped for ten years. In Crete they heard that majority of the worlds major cities had been destroyed, including Istanbul and Addis Ababa. The thought of retaking Constantinople intrigued Julius, but he knew what he had to do for the grace of God.
With a total of 50k people he sailed to the Holy Land, eventually landing on the Gaza Strip on November 25st, 2092. The population of the Holy land was decimated after the multiple occupations by Holy League members (I am assuming that because Ethiopia was a Christian Theocracy and Istanbul was a Caliphate it was a war between holy leagues) and Gaza was depopulated to about 100 thousand, with majority of the communities devolving into Tribal like conditions ten years after majority of the worlds strongest nations where destroyed. Julius soon began going from village to village, demanding tribute and religious conversion to Orthodoxy, those who converted where spared and where forced to join Julius's band, the ones who refused where slaughtered by Julius's army. By December he had sent scout troops outside Jerusalem.
Jerusalem was preserved throughout the war because no one wanted to destroy it. This is what both sides wanted, both sides needed. The Ethiopian Christians wanted the city retaken for Christendom, and now, 12 years after the War of Gods began, Julius would conquer it again, the holy land would once again belong to the Christian people.
100,000 troops marched on Jerusalem on December 24th, 2092, beginning what would be known as the Battle of Jerusalem. Julius men charged at the 500,000 people in the city (After Depopulation and Genocide from the Caliphate) beginning the true rise of Julius's empire. Within a day the man had retaken the city, slaughtering all who opposed his rule. By the end of the battle late on December 25th, the city was down to 10,000 of the original population, all of whom converted out of fear. Within 7 years he had eventually conquered everything from the Sinai to Antioch, but this was when the radiation began to spread at a rate that no one predicted. All of the 500,000 people who lived in the Kingdom where pushed underground in all of the cities they lived in. They where still connected through phone-like devices, but they had no real way of getting to each other, which is why Julius told the people to all begin digging towards Jerusalem, no matter how long it took. He would keep this land, no matter how much radiation spread across his kingdom, he would keep this land and he would make it stable, even if he had to build a labyrinth to do
it.
Death eventually caught up with Julius, and on December 24th, 2112, he died, leaving his son Justinian to take the thrown. Justinian oversaw the finishing of the Holy labyrinth across the territory of Jerusalem, connecting all of his underground kingdom together. The rest of Justinian's reign was uneventful, and he died on September 1st, 2139. The next in line for the throne was Justinian's 16 year old son Julius the Second, who led the Empire until his death on October 15th, 2201.
The next two reigns where all uneventful other then advancement of the Labyrinth, which now became a community of sorts, with new villages and cities growing inside of it. On December 25th, 2255, Julius the 3rd took the throne at the age of 18. Under his rule he began to set up the first expeditions onto the surface world and exactly ten years after he took the throne he began to recolonize the Surface World. He found nomads that wondered from the former Caliphate lands had taken up Jerusalem with the leader of the tribe calling himself Caliph Ataturk.
In response, Julius slaughtered all 50,000 of the nomads for encroaching on holy territory. He took the crown of the so called Caliph and put it on himself, crowning himself Patriarch Julius of Jerusalem, Holy King by Grace of God of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, destroyer of Heathens. Any other tribes that encroached on his territory during the nearly 200 year time underground where either converted or slaughtered. Julius also allowed those who wanted to stay underground keep being underground because large cities of at least 100,000 people began to pop up in the labyrinth and he didn't feel like forcibly relocating them to the surface.
Currently Julius is still in rule of the Empire and he is ready to officially begin expanding it.

History of the Nation:
When the bombs fell upon Japan, it was only inevitable that a trade city like Osaka would face a great brunt of the force. A portion of the population of all of Kansai's cites and towns fled to a bunker, located near the city of Nara. The Bunker was, however, poorly constructed, only able to keep out radiation, but with broken air filters, poor food storage, and all around sub par living conditions. The life expectancy in the bunker had dropped to 30 years old on average, meaning many generations would come and pass in this harsh place. Here, the survivors of the great war would lay in wait, with generation after generation passing by, wondering when next they could return to their homelands. For a long while, the people of the Nara bunker slowly began to forget what actually was beyond the gates of their subterranean home. Memories of Japan, of Kansai, began to become entwined with that of legend.

The people in the Bunker began to tell stories of how the gods, disgusted with the decadent lifestyle that the Japanese had taken up, destroyed the world, but focused their wrath especially upon their people, who they saw as degenerate and in need of destruction. They filled the world with demons and fire, and the ancestors of the vault dwellers were believed to actually have died in the destruction, and that the spirits of the ancestors were sent to a hellish plain, still to have children, so that each subsequent generation would suffer as well. It was said that the spirits were locked into a prison of iron, surrounded by powerful fire, and that demons guarded the doors to the outside world. The dwellers of the vault, now totally unaware of the reality of their origins, began to associate the fabled land of Kansai as the paradise that lay beyond their prison, and that Osaka was the name of a prophesied kingdom that would be founded; holding the belief that the Goddess Amaterasu was sympathetic to their cause, and would, when they were ready, send a chosen one, born from her and one of the human dwellers, to free them. And once the savior of the damned would rise up, and free the people of the vault from their hell, he would lead them into the promised paradise to found Osaka.

This did, in turn, prove to be partially true, as the Dwellers did eventually find their way out of the vault, though they were late to arising out of the vault, they eventually were, by a pseudo-legendary figure known under the birth name of Takeshi Minami. Minami was born to an unknown mother, who seemed to have been absent since his birth, and who, according to his father, Yoshiro, was very absent, and only appeared from time to time, and seemingly disappeared the next morning after giving birth to young Takeshi. By the time that Takeshi was 16, he began hearing voices, and having visions of an unknown world. By the time that he was 18, he had been receving these premonitions every night, and, when he turned 18, he received one final revelation.

It is time, you know what must be done.

Suddenly, something seemed to click, all those visions and messages that he had received. He had to break out of the vault.

Minami began to talk to everyone he could, alerting them to the prophetic dreams he had received, and urged them to join him in leaving hell, to go into the promised land. Though most found him to be insane at first, he did achieve followers, and over time, he built a strong party to take on whatever lay beyond the iron gates. When his critics began to detract from his claims, it is said that a miracle happened, and that, in the midst of giving a speech to empower his warriors, before they took on the demons of the outside world, that Takeshi's body glowed with sunlight, and that he had a voice befitting of a powerful king, despite being yet a young man. With his followers at the ready, The Warriors of Minami began their assault into the outside world.

The land of Japan was a damaged world, though vegetation and animals had become stable once again after the centuries that the Vault Dwellers spent underground. Soon, however, the trekers were attacked by Mutants, who they mistook to be the demons of the gods. The ferverous settlers slew all the mutants they could, and soon, they decided it was safe to begin the move onto land, and the march unto Kansai. From this point on, it is said that the people of the vault declared themselves, the Kansaijin, and adopted a temporary life of nomadism as they wandered in search of the promised land.

According to Minami's prophecies, the place were Osaka would be founded, was already chosen by his mother, Amaterasu, who said that she had built for him, a palace for he and his descendants to reside in until the end of all things. After restless trekking in the reborn wilderness of Japan, the Kansaijin, stumbled upon what was once the Osaka Castle, though damaged badly, it was still standing tall above the ruins of Osaka, now mostly reclaimed by nature. The Kansaijin rejoiced, and decide that they would settle in the spot surrounding the palace. Takeshi Minami was renamed to King Kyūseishu, as an honor in his vital role in bringing the Kansaijin to their new home.

However, one problem remained, the grounds near Osaka Castle were infested with mutants, who were quick to attack the Kansaijin as moved in. Thus began the war for Osaka, a battle between the mutants and the humans, ultimately ending with the extermination and expulsion of the mutants, and the settlement of the Kansaijin in the lands of Osaka. From here, it is said that King Minami distributed his lands into 13 pieces, his own personal lands, and 12 plots for his original 12 followers, who were made into his first Daimyo. From this point on, Osaka was largely a City State, though the Daimyo state would often expand outwards. Many records of the archaic period of Osaka have not survived, but it is known that the legend of the promised land began to take on a different meaning over time, with the promised land moving from not only Kansai, but the entirety of the Japanese Islands.

The Shogunate of Osaka really comes into history following their expansion into the Kingdom of Kanto, when they made a revelation that, they were not the only humans in Japan. An explanation developed, that said that following the formation of the Osakan City-State, that occasionally the trouble causing descendants of evil daimyo were expelled, that over time their descendants would form kingdoms of their own, and that as the kings were not descended from Amaterasu, who made a covenant with the Minami Family, that they were illegitimate kingdoms, and must be conquered. In reality, these other humans were likely the descendants of vault dwellers who came onto land. The Shogunate of Osaka has been slowly growing, colonizing new land, killing mutants, and annexing nearby kingdoms. The King waits for the day that he can declare himself Emperor, and unite his kingdom under the name of Japan. For now the Shogunate grows slowly, as technologies from the old days are discovered in ruins, and rediscovered by brilliant minds once again. Osaka is a military powerhouse, with growing technology to support it, though its feudal nature may in fact be the death of it.

Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics):

The Shogunate is 98% Japanese; a minority of mutants exists as well, making up 2% of the population; they are mostly relegated to slave labor.

Main Religion (What is your State Religion + Religious Demographics):
The Religion of Osaka, practiced by virtually everyone in the Shogunate, is descended of Japanese Shinto, with the Kami still being present; however, the Osakans are very reverent towards Amaterasu, who they see as the great protector of all of Osaka. They also preform ceremonies and show reverence to King Kyūseishu, who receives a ceremony on the founding day of the Kingdom and on his birthday. It is said that there are elements of Osakan Shinto that seem to be foreign, and though they do not know it, these can be traced back to Christianity, which had a rather large presence in the culture of Japan prior to the bombings, due to growing western influences. Such is seen in Amaterasu's covenant, the presence of a Messianic figure with godly descent, and others.

Other:
The Society of The Osakan Shogunate follows the King (Shogun), who distributes land among the Daimyo. The Daimyo originally numbered in 12, but many more exist now, though all come from 12 aristocratic tribes, who are named after their legendary founder, one of the original Daimyo who were chosen by Kyūseishu. Below the Daimyo, are the Samurai, who are a military caste, in charge of watching over and protecting the Daimyo's lands, keeping his serfs in check, and answering his calls to war. Below the Samurai are the Freemen, who are any humans who do not fall into the previously stated classes, and are not slaves. Slaves are on the bottom, and mostly composed of prisoners of war, and mutants.

History of the Nation (Self Explanatory):
It all began with the assassination of his father by what was eventually revealed as an Ottoman Spy. Fasilides knew that at that moment he would destroy them, even if it meant taking the world down with him. He started the War of Gods to retake all of the land that the Caliphate stole from Christendom, and by the end of things he ended up causing the apocalypse.
Fasilides himself was given a live feed of the nuking of Istanbul, and oh boy it was a beautiful thing, buildings that stood for thousands of years destroyed, the straits lined with floating bodies. The Caliph himself escaped to Ankara but the damage was done.
At least, that was until they destroyed Addis Ababa. Once that happened both sides began lobbing nuclear bombs at the other nations, eventually resulting in a full on apocalypse scaled event causing majority of humanity to flee underground. It seems that it would be a long wait until the Ethiopians got control of the land they deserved.
Fasilides died at the age of 90, leaving his grandson Zakariahus to take the throne. He expanded New Addis Ababa (The Underground Area under the original Addis Ababa) and the reconstruction and advancement of technology, even overseeing the construction of the Beta Power Suits. Zakariahus died at the age of 50 from a heart attack, leaving his son Fasilides the Second to be the new king.
Fasilides the Second ordered the destruction of all Non-Ethiopian peoples, eventually leading to the destruction of 40% of the population. This eradication has already given him the title of Fasilides II the Destroyer. Other then those events, his reign was rather uneventful, along with majority of the reigns that followed.
Twenty years ago an 18 year old Zariah took the throne as Coptica. His first act as Emperor was to send Exhibition onto the surface to see if they can recolonize the surface world. Majority of the scout troops where destroyed by a Yemeni tribe that migrated across the waters and eventually settled around the Addis Ababa area. In response to this massacre of his scout troops he sent up a group of 1000 power armored soldiers, along with himself in power armor, to destroy the Yemeni tribe that murdered his men. The battle itself was nothing but a slaughter house, with the primitive guns and spears of the Yemeni tribes barring no match for the power armor. Within two months the Ethiopian troops pushed what was left of the Yemeni Tribes to Socotra, where they sent over boats to siege down and take the Island. The rest of the Yemeni tribesmen where disperse out among Africa and the middle east, with some sources they even went as far as India.
Zariah then set upon officially making New Addis Ababa and the Original Addis Ababa one city, with the ruins of the old territory serving as the area that they must repopulate. He set upon rebuilding the old Fasilides Castle to make it the knew capital building for the Empire. Zariah also declared the creation of the Holy Empire of Ethiopia, the successor state to the old Empire that once dominated Africa would be reborn from the ashes of the Rebirth. Zariah knew that it was his destiny to claim the land that was stolen from his families line during the 200 years of following the War of Gods.

Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics):
99% of the Empire is Ethiopian following the mass eradication + the racial inbreeding during the 200 years underground. The other 1% are Yemeni's tribes that are hiding from the Empires control over the region.

Main Religion:
It is a similar thing for religion, with around 95% of the Empire being Ethiopian Orthodox, and 4.9% being Islamic, with another 0.1% being Yemeni Pagan.

Recent History of Great Britain

When the war between the Caliphate of Istanbul and the Second Ethiopian Empire began to involve low-yield tactical nuclear weapons, the government of the former United Kingdom began to make arrangements to preserve as much of the country's artefacts, government and population. The most powerful nation on earth at the time, it was considered inevitable that Britain would be drawn into the conflict eventually.

The first two years of the war (sans the British) saw great preparation across the nation. The population could not be kept in the dark, so the government was forced to publish information about the 'Shelters' that far exceeded the true scale of the preparative measures. These Shelters were large bunker-like structures build across the country, approximately one to a county. They were designed as a refuge for the local County Councils; a store for food supplies and weapons; and a place of dwelling for the British people. But alas, each could hold just 2'000 people - at a stretch.

To further defend the country, the Ministry of Defence began to develop in earnest anti-ballistic missile systems and a sophisticated, if small, 'Royal-Satellite-Detection-and-Defence-Network' (RSDDN) in an effort to reduce the potential quantity of explosive and atomic ordnance that could be detonated in or over the United Kingdom. This project, using data and research from the previous world conflict, allowed the British to develop a form of defence for the home islands that no other nation at the time could easily assail.

Britain entered the war two years after its beginning, when the Caliphate of Istanbul seized control over the Suez Canal and blocked all trade through it. This brought on the Second Suez Crisis, in which the UK, along with France, issued an ultimatum demanding demilitarisation of the Canal and Anglo-French administration for the duration of the conflict. This ultimatum was rejected by the Turks. Just three days later, the British entered the war on the Ethiopians' side.

It took just two days beyond that for the bombs to fall on London. The Royal Navy, from its bases on Cyprus, quickly swept the Caliphate Navy from the Mediterranean and issued a full blockade. Realising the war was lost, the Caliph of Istanbul, with the city under siege by an Anglo-Franco-Greek army, issued a decree demanding the destruction of the British Home Islands using nuclear weapons.

The anti-ballistic missile system and RSDDN were able to lessen and reduce the bombardment, but they were unable to halt the barrage entirely.

London, of course was hit, several times. Bristol, Oxford, Cambridge, Bimingham, Swansea, Edinburgh, Belfast and other cities were quickly destroyed - but not erased, as might have been without the defences.

At the same time, the Government and the Royal Family fled to a hidden bunker beneath Dartmoor. The County Councils and some few of the population were able to escape below ground also, bought time by the UK defences. Many fled to the countryside, into the hills, the downs and the forests. Some built new communities, others fell into barbarism.

Whatever the case, by the end of the nuclear exchange, the UK and its Empire no longer existed. The British Isles were in ruins.

About 200 years later, the Government, which had, by this time, developed into an Oligarchy, emerged from its bunker. The world had changed, and these people, who had never seen the light of day, knew little of how to survive beyond the confines of the Shelter. Nevertheless, they began the process of rebuilding.

They broadcast a radio message approximately one year after the 'Emerging' attempting to contact other survivors above or below ground.

It worked.

The descendants of the surviving civilised population gradually emerged from the Shelters and the wilderness, beginning to rebuild. Away from the major cities, much of the infrastructure remained in the smaller settlements - some were even used as habitation for scattered tribal groups. Over the course of the decade, the population began to establish contact with one another and form new groups.

The Royal Family, which had regained nothing of its power nor lost it to the new Oligarchy, emerged with the Government and returned to the destroyed London, where a few buildings had been reconstructed as a new base for the capital. Aptly, a large structure had been put together in the ruins of the Houses of Parliament for the meeting of government. A new 'United Kingdom' was proclaimed.

Many years past, and the peoples of England, Wales and Scotland began to reform themselves as a single, disjointed structure. Many groups, particularly outside of England, rejected the attempts by the central government to establish control.

By around 2245, London (now with a sizeable settlement along the north bank of the Thames, primarily around the Houses of Parliament) had gained direct control over the counties of Greater London, Essex, Surrey, Suffolk and Kent, and wielded rather less direct power over most of the Midlands, East Anglia, and the rest of the South East. The Government claimed overlordship over the entirety of the British Isles, and many groups were happy to accept this in return for the trade in sophisticated technology, which remained largely in the control of London.

During the next decade, 'The United Kingdom' went on the path of conquest, both in a military sense and in a diplomatic sense. The 'Great Restoration' began with the 'Anchluss' of the Riding of Yorkshire to the Kingdom in 2248, and the subsequent integration of the State of Lancashire after a short and bitter battle.

The South West was harder to subdue. A pirate Cornish state had subjugated the populations of Devon, Dorset and southern Somerset under a self-proclaimed 'Celtic Chiefdom'. The 'British' were welcomed as liberators by the oppressed English people under Cornish rule. A swift victory was achieved in a tentative alliance with the 'Republic of Bristol', which controlled Gloucestershire and northern Somerset. By 2254, the entirety of the southwest was under British control, or allied to the Kingdom, with only part of Cornwall under siege and resisting.

Concerned about renewed English dominance of the island, various Welsh and Scottish tribes and chiefdoms allied and simultaneously invaded the new Kingdom, now encompassing almost all of England. But they were overmatched in the face of superior technology - deliberately kept only in the hands of the central government - and in 2257, a massive counter-attack was launched into Wales, quickly overcoming any resistance and annexing the various (and squabbling) states into the Kingdom.

During and after this period, contact was made with some of the Celtic tribes of Ireland. It was revealed that the island had collapsed into complete anarchy, with no centralised form of government and no recognisable nation-states with which to negotiate. The British government decided to end the war with the Scottish clans before attempting any overseas expansion.

This war ended with the destruction of the 'Principality of Aberdeen' and the swearing of fealty and annexation by the Scottish Highland Clans. The government in a now largely rebuilt (though obviously still much smaller) London declared a new 'Kingdom of Great Britain', pending the potential absorption of Ireland.

The period of Expansion came to an end, and the Kingdom instead turned to internal matters and the establishment of a new Royal Navy, to defend the islands. All holdouts ultimately surrendered, including Cornwall. British policy turned in the 2260s to the re-establishment of contact with Gibraltar and intervention in Irish affairs.

The 2270s saw the establishment of British client states in Ireland, the further integration of the formerly restive Welsh and Scots, and the founding of trading posts in Iceland.

Which brings the Kingdom to 2280, and the aims of the British to reestablish hegemony over Ireland, the re-entering into European politics, and expeditions to the New World.

Main Race:
85% English
10% Celtic
5% Other

Main Religion: Anglicanism
Other: Great Britain has subdued the Scots and Welsh by exiling rebellious leaders and 'educating' children into supporting the Kingdom. There is much positive sentiment among the British population overall concerning the unified state, partly due to the much higher survival rate of the English over the Celts. The island of Great Britain is now populated by over 85% English compared to just 10% Celtic - although an anomaly is in Cornwall, where there has been a Celtic population explosion that roughly equals the English population there.

The UK government built a 'Shelter' in Gibraltar as well, within the Rock, but, after the nuclear war, Gibraltar was cut off from all contact with London. Around the same time as the mainland British population, they emerged and re-established their community, but found themselves marooned as a culturally English exclave in a hostile Spanish region. When Royal Navy ships appeared on the horizon, the Gibraltarians were quick to accept British control and protection.

History of the Nation:
It was mere minutes after the War of the Gods ended that there was nothing but radio silence everywhere. There had once been reports from those who were unlucky enough not to get into the Bunkers or had been willing to stay rather than live the rest of their life in an underground safe haven. Many in the Scandinavian region believed that they would eventually run out of food if everybody were in Bunkers so the governments of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway made the decision that only a quarter of their populations would go into bunkers and another quarter would stay in military bases set up in Norway’s many mountains. The plan to keep most of the population above ground was foolish and basic at best, horrendous and inhumane at worst. Those who were sealed in the bunkers were the last hope for those in the Scandinavian region to reclaim the surface.

Despite the initial radio silence between the surface and underground, the many bunkers centered around the strait between the Baltic and North Sea stayed in contact. Through the relay of what information they had, the ten bunkers in the Baltic-North strait managed to survive by the creation of hydroponic plant systems and water purifiers which collected water from the nearby underground reservoir. Technological advances were mostly halted but the bunkers lost very little of their tech. The requirements for making them were lost though. Oddly enough, the children who grew up in the bunkers were taught less about the history of the War and more about the history of Scandinavia leading to generations of men and women who would believe that the above land was where their future was leading towards the recreation of the Great Empire.

Life inside the bunkers were different for each bunker. Some focused on the production of food and clean water more than the others while some were more focused on research into what tech they could create. Eventually, each of the ten vaults would become home to their own political party in the Empire. Once 2260 reached, it was determined by the bunker which would hold the Green Party that it was safe to leave their bunkers. With the surface now open to the bunkers, the citizens inside quickly spread out. Quite a few who wanted to go out on their own died and those who stayed by their bunkers quickly organized and started to build their settlements. Within ten years, the Empire was formed and united under the first elected Party member, Martha Wallace of the Communist Party. Under her rule, production of military based weapons have flourished as she looks to reclaim much of Scandinavia in the months before she must give up her position to a new Emperor. It is unknown if the Empire has any intentions on changing their current course as even the Green Party plants to reclaim more of the beaches of Scandinavia for research into the create of hydraulic based power plants.

However, ultimately he can be recalled and changed by the British government, and so the Viceroy usually follows their orders to the letter.

The Normandy Provisional Government is a civilian institution, based on Great Britain's parliament system, which deals with the country's domestic affairs. However, the British Viceroy withholds the right to veto any laws that he see's a problem with.

Productions (What your nation Produces):

Normandy is an international center of genetically engineered crops, and has successfully created a wide range of breeds that are better able to cope with the post-war atmosphere and battered terrain than traditional or lesser developed alternatives.

History of the Nation (Self Explanatory):

With the world on the brink of mutually assured destruction, the unity of France was fractured by a wide skew of politicians who sought to protect themselves from the inevitable. Civil unrest broke out across the nation, leading to large uprising against government forces, which ultimately led to the Fall of France before the bombs had even struck Paris.

In the chaos, the French President relinquished his power to the military. The commanders of France's armed forces realized that there could be no victory in a nuclear war, and instead focused their efforts on evacuating the population to all of the designated "Post-War Survival Centres" that were dotted along the country's extremities.

One such centre was located in Normandy, fifty miles south of Cherbourg. Approximately 45,000 civilians were successfully evacuated to the massive underground complex, but France was finally struck by a nuclear barrage, and the surface world became an inferno.

For 200 years, the survivors lived in relative safety. They turned their efforts towards engineering food sources that could withstand the scarred world that would great them, and shunned the idea of developing weapons as a waste of resources.

Hadn't the world seen enough carnage?

When the survivors left the bunker, after external scanners revealed the atmosphere to be habitable, they were proved bitterly wrong. France was overrun by a multitude of peoples, who had gotten to the surface earlier than them from the other bunkers across the country. Hostilities ensued, despite efforts at diplomacy; the Normandy faction had secured their demise however, after letting slip information about their advanced food crops. These crops became the treasure chest that the whole of France wanted, and war erupted.

Out numbered and lacking heavily in military hardware, the Normans (as they had taken to calling themselves), reached out to an established survivor colony in England, that they had detected via their bunker's long ranged transmitter.

The British Government agreed to help, and rapidly deployed forces from across the channel. More organized, better funded and with superior training, the British forces were able to drive all hostile groups from Normandy and secure the survival of the Normans. In return, the Normans surrendered their genetic crop research over to the British, and agreed to one-sided trade deals that saw the bulk of the Norman food surplus being turned over to the British Crown on an indefinite annual basis.

With British assistance, the Normans were able to rapidly industrialse their infrastructure, and spread out across the whole of Normandy. From time to time, the various French factions attempted to crush the infant nation, but the British were always close at hand to lend support - unwilling to lose their newly found breadbasket.

In the year 2279, April 15th, the British and Norman governments signed the "Norman Powerhouse Treaty", that saw the dismantling of Norman civil institutions in favor of a British-based framework. A viceroy was ellected to safeguard Normandy, and a provisional Norman government established to run domestic affairs. Initially, nationalist uprisings and coups took place, but these were pitifully small and ill planned, resulting in their almost immediate defeats.

By 2280, the British military have reshaped their Norman counterpart in their imagine, providing the bulk of weapons and training to the country's native forces. Normandy has now become a fully functional defacto British fortress on the French coast.

However, not all is well, as the continuation of the harsh trade terms negotiated twenty years ago are preventing the Norman economy from realizing its true potential, and the lower classes are suffering the brunt of this. The streets of Normandy's major cities are patrolled daily by both Norman and British soldiers, with the Viceroy planning on nipping any signs of disorder in the bud.

Nationalism is steadily growing, with many Normans feeling that the terms of the Norman Powerhouse Treaty are bitterly unfair, and aim only to serve the British, as opposed to the Normans themselves. However, on the other side of this, are the Loyalists, who see continued British influence as only a good thing, as it further increases security and betters the Normandy infrastructure.

Regardless of the internal strife, the Viceroy of Normandy sees himself in a position to extend the Crown's borders, and looks at a divided France as the perfect ground onto which he will test his "colonial" army.

History of the Nation (Self Explanatory):
The Senatus Populusque Americanus stayed neutral during the War of Gods for a good while until the Caliphate took the Suez Canal in 2082, which the SPA used to typically bring its goods from New Orleans to the rest of the world. In response the SPA joined in support of the Ethiopian Empire, causing the Mexicans, who supported the Caliphate because of Oil, to bomb all of the capitals of the states except New Orleans, because they knew that the destruction of New Orleans would make the Mississippi River relatively useless.

In Response the SPA began nuking the Mexican Empire. By October the Mexican Empire fell into complete Anarchy, and by early November so had the SPA, who had suffered a lot of population loss because of a lot of them migrating to the UTA and the whole mass destruction of multiple large cities in the Empire. While the SPA government fell into Anarchy a lot of tribes stayed above ground, one of these including the tribe of Orleans, a Cajun group who began to set their capital at the New Super Dome, a giant stadium used for sporting events.

The Tribe of Orleans stayed relatively peaceful for the early history of the peoples. They eventually began to expand because of some more militaristic policies of the Tribal leaders. By 2093 they had taken a lot of the Mississippi Delta, beginning to trade with other tribes in Mississippi and Alabama. It continued like this until 2125, when the Bosier Tribe began an invasion of the Tribe of Orleans. The Bosier tribe had managed to keep control of a lot of military power because of the Airbase in the city, but the Aircraft that the SPA had not moved out before the war where relatively primitive.

The Bosier tribe had taken over the Orleans tribe by 2127 and they forced them upwards towards the city of Alexandria, which is where they put majority of the other tribes to not hurt the conquering efforts. They stayed Oppressed until around 2185, when a man named Louis Sage started his speeches. He began a rebellion that divide the what was now known as the Bosier Empire. While the Empire was more advanced, the rebellion had support from the peoples of Mississippi and Alabama, who joined in the rebellion to try and take out the violent Bosier peoples. The rebellion itself took years, but by 2235 they had surrounded the Bosier city area. It seemed to be going great until Louis himself was killed in battle. The populace decided that the next leader should be his son Boudreaux, who while young, was trained by Louis to bring the Empire to greatness.

Boudreaux began marching his armies against the capital of the Empire, and they began burning down the military base to destroy the armaments of the oppressors. Without their superior aircraft the Bosier Empire was forced to fight on the ground which ended up being what caused the fall of the Empire. The year was 2237 and Boudreaux took control of what was left. For a while he was a benevolent ruler, but that was until his wife was murdered by Bosier Rebels who still believed in the Empire that stood before him. Boudreaux's insanity started after that, and it just got worse.

In 2247 he turned his newly constructed Aircraft (A mix of Zeppelins and World War One-like Aircraft) at the nations of Mississippi, overpowering and conquering them by 2250. His next sight for expansion was the Alabama, who had been united at this point by Dickinson Saban. The Kingdom of Louisiana had fallen into more oppression then before, but Boudreaux had everything so surveyed by his Angels of Death (His Secret Police armed with Power Armor, if they think that you are plotting a revolution they kill you) that no one could argue. The Republic of Alabama put up a good fight, but they eventually where overtaken and destroyed in 2255, with Dickinson Saban being executed later that year.

In 2260 Boudreaux's insanity had begun calling on him to do his ancestors proud and saying that he was to have the wiseness of Charlemagne and the Power of Napoleon, causing him to change the name of his country to the Louisianian Empire and his overall name to Charlemagne Bonaparte Lesage, with Lesage being his former surname in the old French version.

His Empire itself now stands tall as a beacon of a once benevolent kingdom turning into an Empire of death and destruction with an insane leader at its head. Charlemagne dreams of not only uniting the former United States, but even reconquering the French lands in Europe.

The Khergit Horde

"And all the Khan's men and all the Khan's horses will tear you to pieces!"

Geo-Politics

Legal Name:
The Grand Khergit Khannate

Political Party:
Royal Khanate Family

Type of Government:
Feudal Despotic Monarchy - Lead by the Great Khan Tohgon Atilla, the Great Khan rules with absolute authority over his domain. He is assisted by the Elder Council of Hodilurn, consisting of a dozen wisemen and sages who give advice on how best to rule over the kingdom and deal with issue to the Great Khan. Together, the Great Khan and the Elder Council are known as the "Thra-Dorian".

Under the Thra-Dorian is the Unde-Dorian that consists of the regular Khans who lead certain areas assigned to them. Swearing fealty to the Great Khan, they are expected to follow his every word. In essence, they are his vassals but do not pay tribute to the Great Khan. The Great Khan takes all of their taxes which they collect and redistribute portions of it back; this is one of the methods used to ensure the Khans stay loyal.

Heirs are chosen by the royal bloodline with the sons going through the "Trials of Heaven and Hell". In the Trial of Heaven, they must demonstrate their knowledge and wit before the Elder Council while in the Trial of Hell, they are too best the best warriors in combat. Other Khans can challenge the Great Khan to take his title but must slay him in single combat during the Trial of Hell. Needless to say, Great Khans do not often die of in Trials for good reason.

N/A

Land Claims:

While the Khergits are nomadic tribes with no real "borders" (most Khans just wonder their tribes where ever the fuck they want), the Horde does have more settled areas due to recent Great Khans's ordering places that give the benefit of being in one place (or Khans who just got lazy and didn't want to always be on the move) called "Karaks". These settlements can be thought of villages or well-developed tribal camps. The vast majority of Karaks are located in the Central Asian steppes but Khans who either accidentally or purposely settle their tribes into a Karak in other lands beyond the "borders" are not unheard of.

Economy & Demographics

Economic System:
Like many things in the Khergit horde, the economic system differs from tribe to tribe. Some use communal free will which people openly take what they want and give what the can in hopes of good will. Others use simple bartering with prices determined by local merchants and Khans. Some exclusively use the Umol, the "official currency" of the horde. Use mostly in the larger tribes and Kazaks, the Umol is accepted in all Khergit lands and strongholds but isn't always used in.

External trade is somewhat uncommon as more often than not, the Khergit just raid villages and caravans and the like for materials or demand it in tribute from weaker foes. Exporting is also just used as a sign of good will more often than not. That said, there are tribes that act as oversized caravans and Karaks with large market places that can be seen as trade hubs.

Products:

• Food Crops - (Wheat, Barely, Cabbage, Potatoes, Yam, Onion, Garlic, Herbs and Medicinal Plants)
• Animals and Animal Products - (Horses, Sheep, Cattle, Goat, Pig, Milk, Meats, Wool, Hides/Leather, Koumiss)
• Military Equipment - (Semi-Auto/Automatic Rifles, Bows & Arrows, Metal/Leather Armor, Armored Cars, Jeeps, Light Tanks, Simple Propeller Aircraft, Machine Guns, Mortars, Melee Weapons of all kinds, Traps, Bombs and Explosives and Incendiary Weapons)
• Industrial and Electronic Goods - (Steel, Iron, Coal, Charcoal, Various Minerals, Clay, Gas & Oil, Basic Electronics, Early Radios, Simple Batteries, Simple Chemicals, Some Modern Medicinal Items)
• Consumer Goods - (Rugs, Clothing, Textiles, Pottery, Some Degree of Literature, Saddles, Decorative Items & Trinkets, Carvings of Wood, Stone and Bone, Bags & Storage Containers, Artwork)

Demographics:

Actual knowledge of the demographics of the horde is unknown due to the vast number of tribes and peoples living under the Khergit banner. It can be said that the number of different races is great and mutant Ungors who were the "original" Khergits make up a good portion of the population.

Ungors

Ungors are humans who live in the Asian steppes have been tainted by generations of radiation-induced mutations. While they do not look anything all to different from humans, they do have some different physiological traits which have put them into two different social classes known as Earth Ungors and Sky Ungors respectively and differentiates them from normal humans.

Earth Ungors
Eath Ungors are taller and stronger than the average normal human. Their skin is rougher and harder and tend to have frizzier hair. Most people will think of Earth Ungors when the term Khergit Khanate is spoke as they serve mostly as military members due to their additional strength and perceived savagery. They are often seen as savage, hostile, aggressive barbarians but in an ironic twist, they're actually the more respectful and humbled of the Ungors, even more so than the sassy, prideful Sky Ungors.

Sky Ungors
Sky Ungors are more or less the opposite of Earth Ungors. They have larger brain capacities and look more beautiful than what most people will assume to be a Khergit Ungor. Within the Khergit society, they serve as the more intellectual roles like civil servants, engineers, diplomats and scholars. Outside of the Horde, they are often mistaken for beautiful men and women who have been kidnapped by the Horde which some delusional idiot chivalrous hero has to go and rescue. They are ironically sassier and more prideful than the larger Earth Ungors and are much more rowdier when drunk.

There is one trait shared between both subspecies of Ungors however: an apparent total lack of safety standards and sometimes logic and common sense. While they make solid and dependable things, its unadvised for anyone who is not nearly as jackass'd as a Ungor or a Khergit to use them. Through a myraid number of reasoning, explanations, explanations and sometimes flat out lies, they justify on why they seemingly lack safety concerns which mostly boil down to "because we can do this and fuck you". Of course, they don't ever say it quite like that.

Religion & Culture

Religion:
The Khergits's main belief is called "Tengeriinkhusel" meaning "the Will of the Heavens" and is often shortened to just "Tengri". It tells of a Sky Maiden and an Earth Warden who created the world and their children and grandchildren who control various other elements of life. It is a polytheistic faith with no concept of prophets or holy text. It is exclusively told by various sages, oracles and shamans of the various tribes however due to the nature of oral tradition, some parts of it have been skewed a little leading to different quasi-sects but in all have enough similarities to still be called the same religion. Recently there have been attempts of writing it down however to keep the faith in a more permeant, uniformed manner.

A unique part of the religion is the idea of "Monitegel" or "Syncretic Faith" where different tribes will adopt certain aspect of the local religion of the area they're in. While this does make record keeping hard as some tribes will switch between their Monitegels quite often, it does make assimilating new people into the fold a much smoother process. This also means that Tengri is also a surprisingly accepting faith to outsiders.

White trees, often just called "Tengri Trees" are considered a holy plant/symbol in Tengri as they are seen as an unborn child of the Sky Maiden and the Earth Warden. So much so that many are converted to holy sites where the trees have grown massive in size and even have dedicated guards. Chopping down these trees or harming them in anyway is seen as a major offense and a personal attack on the two major pantheons. Trees simply painted white is also seen offensive as its thought to be an attempt to trick the gods. However, white-painted lumber not from trees known not to be Tengri Trees are accepted and seen as a sign of power. Many Khans and nobles have white-painted furniture because of this and one can fetch a good price in Khergit lands when selling white-painted timber.

Perceived Culture:
To outsiders, the life of a Khergit is hard, savage and often barbaric. Many see them as raiders and glorified bandits who come into lands for no purpose than to rape, pillage and burn. Some hold them in the highest disscontempt as mounted cavemen who either are overly attached to their horses or roll around in the dirt, praying to shamanistic gods and idols. Military men who have fought them say that they are a savage and annoying bunch who use annoying, dishonorable tactics in war that force the people they brutally conquer to fight for them as cannon fodder. They will admit they have come up with some pretty ingenious creations and approaches to war, but that's all the respect they'll offer. Many say they are demon spawns or monsters, others propagate they are much, much worse.

Actual Culture:
What most people say about the Khergits are actually more true to what their predecessors, the Kharrigands, where. However, they keep the appearance of savagery up as its a good facade that stops people from thinking they're too soft and it gives enemies a good moral shock when in battle.

Although the life of a Khergit is hard, its never as bad as its thought of by others. Khergit society is rigidly structured but its engineered in a way that doesn't seem oppressive; and with help from some propaganda, many see it as the "natural order of things". Everyone knows what to do and doesn't question it.

The horde also has a very diverse of people, leading its culture being variety and many and have proven themselves to be an accepting bunch. Khergit engineering, while unknown to many, is surprisingly durable and can handle a lot of punishment, even if its lacking in some other parts. The people eat more than raw animal intestines and flowers, there is actually industry in the Karaks and not everything is based on military and raiding. That said, the Khergits do raid other lands.

One major surprise that the Khergits have that many don't expect is the concept of mercy. They refuse to kill a dying man without first trying to save him and any captured prisoners are given a change to be accepted into Khergit society. Even when going into a land to conquer, they give the people a chance to surrender. That said, some tribes are more aggressive than others and sometimes "forget" about the rule of mercy.

History:

The Khergits were never actually put into a bunker when the world ended, their descendants having mostly been evacuated to secure camps in the steppes. Due to the unremarkable location which otherwise had no great resources, they were spared being nuked into non-existence as no nation targeted the steppes and wastelands in favor of more populated areas. However, the radiation still spread to the camps causing mutations in the inhabitants which lead them to becoming what is known today as "Ungors".

Over the many years, these "preservation camps" had devolved into something of a tribal clan with the one the Khergits came from known as Camp UGR-40 "Kharrigand" which is what had created the name of Khergit. The camps themselves did not live very long as overcrowding soon became an issue forcing them to actually build shelters beyond the walls of the camps, Camp URG-40 was no exception. Things soon got very tribal and savage indeed as notable members of the camps built themselves up as Chieftans or Kings or Khans or any other variety of names used and began attacking each other.

The inhabitants of Camp URG-40 however, was one of the peaceful tribes, still calling themselves what the camp was named, the Kharrigands. However, despite their attempts at diplomacy and the like, they were forced out of their camp after a savage raid by neighboring tribes. Now forced into a nomadic lifestyle, the Kharrigands still tried to remain with their peaceful ways, accepting refugees from other tribes who had been raided until disaster struck again.

The tribe known as the Onrebaj, a tribe who was part of the attack that forced the Kharrigands out of their home attacked the new nomads once more. In the aftermath, a man named Khalli Olar rose to power, promising that he would protect the Kharrigands. And so, the Kharrigands once more rebuilt where they were defeated, the now Lord Olar telling everyone they should abandon the ways of the nomad. The peaceful tribe that had once been victim to endless attacks was suddenly the attackers, counter-raiding and conquring the lands of their enemies and repressing them with an iron foot.

However, Olar's brutal policies did not sit well with many people who were only kept in line by fear. Many critics and opposition leaders where silenced. One of said people was Zhimas Chanchukua, an Earth Ungor of great strength and even greater nerve who preached about returning to a nomadic life style akin to that of the Huns and less repressive than Olar's rule. Understandably, the Lord Olar had him silenced at once and had Zhimas executed in public to make a show. However, with that act Olar had began the construction of his own coffin as Zhimas's son, Shuukh was in the crowd and started to plot to kill his father's killer.

The Chanchukua family was never one to support Olar, hating how he flaunted his wealth and power like toys, but Suukh was the one who brought it to light and frutation. Once of age, he overthrew Olar with an army of supporters and executed him in public view like his father had been killed. But before the axe fell, Olar revealed he wasn't from and preservation camp at all and that his real name wasn't even Olar, but in fact from elsewhere the Kharrigands never heard of. Unfortunately the axe fell before Olar could spill anything more than his blood, prompting Suukh to imdiately search for the lands that Olar claimed he hailed from in vengance.

Outside of his hunt for the homelands of Olar, the new Great Khan Suukh went to reorganizing soceity in his own image, loosening the grip on the tribes that the Kharrigands had conquered, setting up a new social hierarchy and reforming the military, all based on knowledge of what the Huns were like from his father, going so far as to rename his lineage "Attila" and renaming his people, the Khergits to try and cleanse the memory of the now infamous Kharrigands.

Now, years later with Suukh's bloodline still in power, the Khergit horde is still on the move, gaining more and more territory and searching for the homeland of Olar (now referred to as Olarland or Olarhold). And despite discovering all sorts of new goodies and tech, the Horde is no closer to finding the mystical land but the land under there control has grown. And show no sign of stopping.

Other:

• Despite having access to some forms of modern medicine, Khergits still mostly use traditional folk remedies.
• The Khergit military is based on speed and lots of it with safety taking a sideline.
• The Khergit army does not discriminate genders and even has women amongst its top ranks and legends. Huzzah for progressive policies! :D
• Some of the the things the Khergits do/make run on nonsenolium, logic fails of the Khergit include:
  
  • Stealth technologies based on painting things neon hot pink reasons because "no one has ever seen a hot pink tank"
  • Painting vehicles red because "the red ones go faster"
  • Eating bioluminescent mushroom to recharge battery-powered/electricity-powered equipment
  • Using moldy jam sandwiches to counteract radar jamming, because the mold in the bread absorbs jam.
• The Khergits will act very differently between people who they see as friends and who they do not see as friends.
  • People on good terms with them do not have to suffer through all the things the Khergits are infamous for
  • The Khergits still encourage their friends to spread wild rumors of how horrible they are for appearances and for shits and giggles.
• The Khergits are scared as hell of balloons. Not like zeppelin balloons and that stuff, colored party balloons will make even the bravest of Khergit warriors shit his pants.

The Endurance Cooperative

Legal Nation Name: The Endurance Cooperative

What Areas Do You Control (Territories):

Territory is shown in the light purplish colors situated in the area around Bhutan and in China

Flag or Banner (National and Political):


Political Party: The Reclamation Society heads the Endurance Cooperative, which is essentially a single-party state.

Type of Government: The Endurance Cooperative is, in its most basic form, a benevolent military dictatorship. The Commander In Chief of the armed forces has absolute power over the state as well, though their power is checked not by elected officials, but by the population itself. Due to the fact that the population in all nations is significantly lower than it was before the war, the Endurance Cooperative has chosen to allow citizens to put forward and object to decisions made by the Commander In Chief in a system rather similar to a direct democracy. However, the Commander In Chief still holds absolute power and can veto any decision that can be linked to the survival of the state.
Date Out of Bunker: N/A, the people of the Endurance Cooperative never entered a bunker

Productions: Advanced information technology (computers and the like), various foodstuffs including potatoes, rice, and seafood, dirigible aircraft, planes, advanced ocean vessels, power armor, armored vehicles, various ferro-alloys, and natural gas.

History of the Nation: The Endurance Cooperative never had the luxury of retreating to underground bunkers to escape the devastation that occurred on the surface, and was founded the day the bombs dropped by UTA military personnel aboard the aircraft carrier UTS John C. Stennis and her support fleet. The world already having ended, they convinced naval remnants of the United Free Peoples of True Asia that further conflict would only serve to doom humanity to extinction. With the remaining power of both the UFPTA and UTA navies, the newly formed group (known simply as "The Cooperative" at the time) sent out expeditions to the rest of the world in an attempt to find and rescue others who survived the apocalypse.

For months on end their aircraft scoured the planet, searching for other survivors. All those they could find were brought back to the fleet, which was now acting as a refugee camp (something which the massive decks of the two aircraft carriers excelled at). After nine full months, the search was called off. They had found all whom they could and taken on all they could handle. Food supplies aboard the fleet were running low, so a final flight was made to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault to retrieve plant seeds untouched by the disaster. Impromptu greenhouses were constructed on even more impromptu additions to the carrier decks, which allowed them to stabilize the food situation. For about a week.

Then the twilight came.

The countless tons of ash, dust, and fallout kicked up by the nuclear detonations rose into the sky and refused to come down, plunging the planet into a never-ending twilight. On the worst days, one couldn't tell if it was day or night. The crops started dying, and the food situation got worse and worse. In desperation, more expeditions were sent out in an effort to find anything that would help them survive the nuclear winter. Back at the fleet, everyone pitched in by trying to gather the food they needed from the ocean. Seaweed was collected in massive quantities, while smaller ships were sent out to hunt whales (for many years after the crisis had passed, it was feared that the one-two punch of the nuclear winter combined with the excessive hunting had finally finished the creatures off).

Before the fleet could slip down into anarchy, the expeditions returned. They brought with them countless packaged foods scavenged from markets that the survivors couldn't get to before they succumbed to the elements. More importantly, however, they brought with them material with which to build grow lights (as well as more than a few intact ones). These supplies were immediately put to use, and once again, the Cooperative was able to stabilize a food source.

The radio signal that came next had perfect timing. Just as the possibility of a settlement on land was being considered, the Cooperative picked up a desperate radio signal asking for food, coming from Bhutan of all places. Apparently, its sheer remoteness had spared it from the war... and also left it in a confusing world that seemed to be changing with the sole purpose of killing them. In fact, they didn't even know what had happened until the Cooperative managed to reach them. However, all they did was confirm the already prevalent idea that a nuclear war had occurred.

Refusing to turn away an entire country, the Cooperative immediately offered aid to the nation with the clause that they allow them to operate any facilities they wished to within the nation wherever and whenever they saw fit. The government obliged, and Cooperative forces rolled in. They stripped buildings of anything that could be useful, and put it to use in constructing indoor farms. All the while, fallout came down upon them like rain. Having finally secured a food supply to feed the Cooperative and its new ally, the fleet moved to the remnants of Yulin naval base in China. It had been a submarine base, with underground pens being constructed to hold the vessels. This made it the perfect candidate for habitation, as the concrete and dirt above the sub pens would provide at least some amount of protection.

Once the sub pens had been sealed, drained, and filled with makeshift buildings to house refugees and more greenhouses, the fleet moved on once again. The people of the Cooperative proper lived as seafaring nomads for years, scavenging wreckage from the ocean floor and the remains of cities to expand their own ships. The two aircraft carriers, the Liaoning and John C. Stennis, became gigantic floating cities. The Liaoning was even converted to nuclear power after a while in order to combat fuel shortages and its own increasing mass. A few new survivors were also found, usually in other stranded ships and submarines.

After nearly five decades of scraping by on the few foods that were taken from the seed vault and fish, the depressing hell that drove thousands into madness ended. For the first time in longer than anyone could remember, the sun shone fully in a blue sky. The fleet returned to its two allies, Yulin settlement and Bhutan to discuss the course the three would take. Everyone was somehow affected by the radiation, and the population of Bhutan had been reduced to under a tenth of what it once had been by famine and simple sterility caused by the fallout. After a three day conference between the leaders of each, it was decided that they would merge to form a single nation. The first that would be formed after the war.

They chose to simply name it "The Cooperative" at first, essentially just merging the two settlements under the control of the fleet. However, when the subject of a capital city came up, two proposals were put forward. The first was that the most populous city be chosen, while the second was that the nation should be named after it. Both were agreed upon before a capital was actually chosen, to ensure that all parties remained impartial. As luck would have it, the UTS John C. Stennis happened to be the largest "city". Which, of course, started a debate over whether or not a warship named after an American senator had any right to be the capital of a nation based in Asia and populated by people from around the world. By the end of it all, they just decided to rename the ship. The former UTS John C. Stennis became the ECS Endurance. And that's how the Endurance Cooperative got its name.

Now united, the Endurance Cooperative began to take on a massive effort to redevelop various areas within their territory that had fallen into disrepair during the nuclear winter. Yulin naval base's above-ground facilities were reconstructed, and many Bhutanese cities that had been lost to the elements after their inhabitants had died were rebuilt to accommodate the slowly expanding population of the newborn nation. Outdoor farms were cleared of the massive piles of dead plants that now covered much of the Earth, then reopened using the pure seeds that had been recovered from the vault.

Life once again returned to the land, the brown mass of dead trees and plants replaced with splotches of green as the Cooperative restarted the tradition of farming. As they continued to expand their food supply, they also expanded their infrastructure. A railroad was laid down, stretching from Bhutan to an old port city on the coast to allow for easier transport of supplies between the fleet, Bhutan, and Yulin. After that had been completed, another expedition was sent to the seed vault to make a massive withdrawal. Every last type of seed they could find was taken out, then dropped across the land using all the aircraft they had at their disposal. Over the course of many decades, the Cooperative restored the Earth.

By the end of their massive effort, they had created substantial industry in many of their territories-the largest concentration being at the Yulin settlement. In order to support the effort, many airships had been constructed in the form of hard-shell, dirigible aircraft. More naval ships (including a small aircraft carrier) were also built in order to allow an expanded military, for while they were all alone at that point, they knew there would be others who survived. And there was no guarantee that they too had put the war behind them.

While they still operate many prewar jet aircraft, the fact of the matter is that they are actually near-useless in post-apocalyptic air combat. Their stalling speed is faster than the top speed of many "new" planes. As a result of this (and the fact that their escort carrier couldn't possibly accommodate a jet), they have begun to build natural gas-powered propeller planes based off of WWII aircraft from the USA and Japanese Empire. After all, both were very much meant to be carrier-based. With a few design modifications, it was possible to use them with natural gas fuel and on smaller ships.

The Navy is mostly prewar designs, with a few new ones (such as the single escort carrier and production models of hypothetical UTA "Montana-Class" railgun artillery cruisers). All the armored vehicles of the Army (which uses mostly prewar Indian weaponry, with a rail arquebus design slowly phasing out the older gunpowder-based weapons) are new designs, almost always equipped with railgun weaponry. Power armor is highly advanced, and sometimes variations can be seen on the streets in civilian use due to the ever-abundant malicious mutations making it a necessity for many. Generally, the military is only used to fight against mutated animals, but everyone is prepared for the possibility of armed conflict with other survivors.

Main Race: The Endurance Cooperative has citizens from every major ethnicity, though those of African descent are notably common. However, these characteristics can easily be shoved aside by other groups of survivors due to the fact that there is barely a single citizen without some kind of mutation.

Main Religion: Buddhism is rather popular in the Endurance Cooperative, due to the fact that it was both the most common religion inside its territory before the war, and the fact that after the war the Christian majority in the UTN fleet turned away from their faith.

History of the Nation:
The right to self rule had always plagued China from the Tibetan plateau. Whether in active resistance or in passive. But ever since its reoccupation by Chinese forces in 1950 the Himalayan kingdom had not known independence. Even as his holiness the Dalai Lama passed from this world and the lineage of the reincarnation of Gendün Druppa in the 14th century. Although gone, the Gelug sect of Tibetain Buddhism remained. Even as the bombs fell.

For those that could not retreat to protective shelters built in the highlands by the Chinese government they fled to the monasteries that dotted the Tibetan highlands and took refuge there among the monks until fire ceased falling from the sky. And when it did, all semblance of a China that was had been eradicated. And so shielded by the Himalayan mountains where what fallout existed had fallen with the rains in the southern lowlands life readopted – if somewhat unceremoniously – what it had since before even the Qing.

When the nuclear shelters finally reopened a new demography of Tibetain re-emerged. Sheltered from the brutality of the war and the climate they were a group of shelter dwellers unaccustomed to dealing with life in the mountains. But life in the shelters provided something a life tending yaks could not: they were academic.

Alliances between strong individuals and monks of the plateau effectively created and built a new bureaucracy. With these princes deriving legitimacy from the blessing of monks they named and styled themselves princes and assumed their posts to rule the harsh rocky landscape of Tibet. From the highest peaks to the lowest green valleys.

An effect of monastic influence though tempered with the secular authority derived from the princes in turn eroded many of their old-world familial names as many turned to align themselves even closer to the monks and themselves took up the name of Tibetan Monks: Gyatso. This has in turn effected inter-prince relationships by destroying dynastic identity in favor of monastic loyalty.

The first to practice this was the self-titled Prince of Lhasa, Dromtönpa Tsongkhapa; a young shelter-born Tibetan with a certain martial prowess. His adaptation of the name Gyatso earned considerable respect among the monasteries and still new to the surface others followed suit.

Dromtönpa Tsongkhapa Gyatso was ultimately assassinated by rival princes in the year 2270, hoping his son Samten Khyenpa Gyatso would prove distantly inept in his hermitage adventures. However on his return home later that winter he was horrified and astonished at his father's death. He retreated into mourning and meditation, only to come out to be crowned as the second Gyatso prince of Lhasa. And though considered philosophical, the sudden violent death of his father had brought to light a vengeful fire.

Per the rest of Tibet, the Gelug – Yellow Hat sect – of Tibetain Buddhism provides a level of lower-level social harmony. While the princes may play the pieces of political control across the highlands much of the charitable work is organized by the monks and the Lamas. Princely association is wrought through protection of these missions and to the monasteries. The operational apparatus of the Gelug has as well maintained associations with the predominately Buddhist Mongolian tribes of the north as much as through the rest of the Himalayan mountains.

Though all the sects exist in practice in Tibet, only the Gelug is the most predominate. Focused on debate and reason the Yellow Hat school arose as a reformist movement to the older schools of Tibetan Buddhism. And since the modern era and prior to Chinese re-occupation it has been at the forefront of Tibetan politics and epitomized by Thubten and Tenzin Gyatso (the 13th and 14th Dalai Lama respectively).

Other:
Even before the bombs the Tibetan region has had poor industrial developments. Even when forced by the Chinese economic adventures in Tibet had most often failed. Although the region is poor does not put it out by their own standards and the Tibetans are a resilient, resistant people.

With the withdrawal of Chinese authority from the region the surviving Tibetan population had to re-draw its own military. The monasteries originally filled this roll with the drawing of old monastic guards – or Dob-dobs – to provide protection for themselves and the people. But with the rise of the princes there has been a much greater shift to centralized regional armies organized by them. Though these individuals may often be armed in a way considered more medieval than contemporaries in Europe. All the same, some stockpiles of still-working Chinese weapons are available to the Tibetans but their sparseness ensures that they'll only be withdrawn when the need is dire.

Also furthering Gelug habit, the nature of debate and intellectual argument has bred into the new aristocracy a craving of philosophy and debate and many princely sons do not turn themselves to war but into philosophy.

Political Party:
Hutterite - The Fellowship of God
Chilliwack - The Canada Restoration Party

Type of Government:
Chilliwack - Republic
Hutterite - Communist Theocracy

The government of Chilliwack is democratically elected by a general vote of its citizens. The current incumbent government is The Canada Restoration Party, which promotes heavy migration and extreme military action, to reclaim all of what was once Canada, and to then expand south. The party is lead by Prime Minister William McGuinness, a grizzled, industrious man, who seeks to ensure his name is not lost to history.
Each of the Hutterite communes is individually governed by a council of elders, who are appointed to the position by the elder before them. Needless to say, almost all the elders are the sons of the previous ones. The councils regularly gather together, to ensure that changes in government affect every Hutterite community simultaneously, giving the functional effect of having all Hutterites live under a centralized government.

History of the Nation:
When the bombs fell, the major cities of Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton were wiped off the map. When the descendants of the Vancouverites emerged from their bunkers in the early 2200's, they found a wasteland where their city had been. This lead to the great pilgrimage of 2209, where the surviving tribes of Vancouver traveled inland, and discovered that the British Columbian city of Chilliwack hadn't been hit by a bomb. It was here, in the decayed, but largely intact ruins of Chilliwack, that they rebuilt Canadian civilization, establishing the Republic of Chilliwack. As they reestablished contact with communities along the Pacific coast, and up into the north of British Columbia, they discovered that several areas where already inhabited by some strange German-speaking cult. Eventually, contact was made with the elders of this tribe, who still maintained a grasp on the English language. They identified themselves as the Hutterites, a religious minority that fled Europe in the late 1800's, who had been living in isolation for more than 300 years. Being far away from any civilization, and pacifist in nature, they were completely untouched by the war's destruction. With all other remaining life hidden inside sealed bunkers, the Hutterite communities flourished. They expanded across the prairies, and into northern British Columbia, establishing a heavily populated agriculture empire. They even sent scouts out, marking out and walling-off radioactive zones. Needless to say, their technology hadn't developed as it had in the bunkers. They rejected most technology, and only made advancements relating to agriculture.
The people of Chilliwack needed fresh food and materials to supply their expanding society, and the Hutterites needed protection from the technological giants that would be emerging in the world, so they drafted the "Treaty of Kamloops", establishing a dual-government coalition between the Hutterite communes and the Republic of Chilliwack.
This strong coalition, combining a relatively massive population and food surplus, with modern military technology, now seeks to expand its reach, uniting and recolonizing the rest of North America. The problem that obstructs these ambitions, of course, are the other surviving societies that have since emerged in North America. While the Vancouverites of Chilliwack would gladly use force to expand their empire, the Hutterites are strict pacifists, and would refuse any such action. With the majority of the coalition's population being Hutterite, it's simply not an option. Nonetheless, there is a great deal of empty land, ripe for the taking.

Main Race:
Hutterite - German/Caucasian
Chilliwack - Chinese/Asian

Main Religion:
Hutterite - Anabaptist Christian
Chilliwack - Baptist Christian

Military:
The Republic of Chilliwack has a moderate force of full-time soldiers, who are stationed at outposts across all coalition land. They are armed mainly with pre-war assault rifles, but the Chilliwack National Guard is outfitted with laser weaponry and light power armour. Research is constantly underway in the heart of the capital city, developing new methods of "keeping the Republic safe".
The Hutterite communes believe that the nuclear fallout of the world was God's fulfillment of "the meek shall inherit the Earth", and that it is their sworn duty to remain unarmed at all times. As such, the population eligible for military enlistment is greatly limited, with all soldiers coming from the non-Hutterite regions of Southern British Columbia.

History of the Nation:

With the fall of Belfast and the perceived abandonment by the British, Ulster largely retreated into the British-made "Shelters", which dotted the border counties and larger cities across Northern Ireland. However, there was never a threat of nuclear war made on the Republic of Ireland and Dublin stayed intact. In the weeks following their closest neighbour, it became apparent that large clouds of radiation were travelling across the Irish Sea from Europe and the country was put under a state of emergency. Many Irish people fled to the deep countryside or the shelters dotted across the country.

In Ulster, shelters were largely mixed, which was a change to the usual segregation by religious lines. Despite sectarian violence being common in the early years, over time, many Protestants and Catholics made their peace and it was decided in the large Belfast Shelter that upon returning to the surface, the people of Northern Ireland would no longer seek unification with the Republic of Ireland nor the United Kingdom. Instead, the province of Ulster would become it's own state, with its own laws and customs. This idea of an independent Ulster proved popular in the Belfast Shelter, especially with the younger generations who were taught to stand against the violence of their ancestors.

When the Belfast Shelter opened its doors in 2240, it found a barren wasteland where the city of Belfast once stood. The leaders of the Vault came into contact with survivors quickly. The idea of a fully independent Ulster was popular among survivors, who had largely ignored contact with other religious groups in Northern Ireland. The Derry Vault was opened by the members of the Belfast Shelter and the Republic of Ulster was proclaimed in Derry in 2262 by delegates from across Ulster. They laid claim to the old province of Ulster, from the tip of Malins Head in Donegal to the old border of Cavan. It took years of treaties and the occasional military conquest to form the Ulsterian Republic that stand today.

The old Republic of Ireland was no longer in existance and was instead inhabited by various small city states, built around the old counties they called home. Despite facing no nuclear attack, the Republic of Ireland collapsed shortly after the rest of Europe due to the pressure of no longer having viable trading partners. The Republic of Ulster shows little interest in expanding its border beyond their current form and have largely stayed on good terms with the city states in the south.

In todays Ulster, the area around Belfast is lawless and mutated. The capital, a famous walled city on the River Foyle called Derry, is the largest city in Ulster and by some predictions, the island of Ireland. Many Ulsterians are still divided on religious lines but the old issue of British or Irish was blown up along with Stormont Castle. Many don't feel Irish or British but simply Ulsterian or rarely, Northern Irish. The various paramilitary groups that existed before the bombs fell still exist in some form or another but only serve as the military wing of the political parties. The standing army largely uses weaponry stolen from old Irish or British army bases that now lay within its borders.

The Ulster Republic views the United Kingdom with suspicion and fears future attack from the British Crown. They have had limited contact with their neighbours and view this as a blessing rather than a curse. Still largely isolationist, the Ulsterians will soon need to begin extending their diplomatic arms or face the end of their independence.
