@Theodorable I'm in so give me a role, though could I be not Spain and be not the same ideology/puppet of the other 2 if not that's k. And I may make a discord when I get back from out of town at a wedding.
On Janurary 5th 1919, a mere 2 days after the creation of the Republic of Retherfed. The President Joseph Friver who was a Blaquinian from birth which only added to the conspiracies and a wealthy tradesman before and during the war. Would give a public address to the new parliament which was set up in Ashhaben as the former capital was under pact military occupation. In it he would address the people as well as his neighbors.
“My fellow countrymen, I President Joseph Friver would like to offically announce that the war has ended and that our soldiers are finally returning home after years of fighting and the countless lives we lost may finally have their moment of rest.Yet we can hold our heads high and surrender with dignity as we fought well and never gave up. It was merely poor business and that the stalemate of the war would give us nothing yet cost so many lives. Even still I’ve been assured that this formal treaty will be nothing more than a slap on the wrist, as 6 years asgo the world plunged into darkness and it’s now the time for rebuilding not for threats or punishments that will only cause hatred. For at this moment my own Foreign Minister Leonard Jovek, is meeting with members of the pact of unity to formalize the treaty with honor. It is with high hopes that the people of Retherfed can sleep well tonight knowing that tomorrow brings a new dawn. This war which put us into the dark age will be uplifted by the current regime and the rebuilding shall begin. Tomorrow, the parliament and my office shall work conjointly to get this country on track, until then Hail to the Republic.”
After the speech the President began writing orders for new factories to be built and lead by his fellow Blaquinian upper class citizens. He also got to work attempting to get into contact with the Republic of Blaque in order to sign a trade agreement. Meanwhile he was also waiting to hear the terms of the peace treaty which in his belief were going to be light as the war was with the monarchy and the monarchy is gone, yet time would prove him wrong. As for the thousands of active soldiers the republic had 70,000 of them would be put into reserve status as the cost was too great and he saw no need for the world was at peace.
1 new goods factory would be ordered for construction in Ashhaben. 70,000 soldiers are put into reserve status 20,000,000 will be invested into Agriculture 20,000,000 will be invested into Pharmaceuticals 10,000,000 will be invested into Mining 10,000,000 will be invested into automobile factories 30,000,000 will be invested into Electronics
A Purpose Rekindled
As Draven Lurdoff returned from the front his head slouched down as he like others from the war felt betrayed by President Friver and the new republic. They had been pushing further and further into Vornheim, even after the collapse of their allies, it made no sense for their to peace on their terms that was until the rich merchant and bureaucratic Blaquinians believed the war was finally bad for business did they begin to spread lies about the horrors of war and how victory was unreachable. They were able to create food shortages even though there was more than enough to go around they did much to turn the people against the King Lukas Gate’s. In the end when victory was close at hand,the revolution started and took a mere 5 days for the kingdom to fall and the Republic to rise.
Even now, Draven had heard the speech the President gave a few nights ago and spat on him and his followers. All of them were damn Blaquinians and were ruining Retherfed for the Retherfedians, they made factories for Blaquinians, the government was filled with Blaquinians, Blaquinians held positions of vast wealth and the Retherfedians were forced to be their servants. Draven could see this and immediately quit the army, for he wouldn’t take orders from a damned Blaquinian and yet without the army Draven was lost. Before the war he was a failed writer with no family or friends, yet during his service he was useful and found purpose. A corporal in the Retherfedian army, he served as a messenger and he had been awarded the Circular Hero Medal, the highest honor an enlisted soldier could receive for distinguished service. So in Ashhaben, he spent time loittering about unsure about what to do until he found his way into a beer hall, in it was a meeting of the Nationalist-Socialist Retherfedian Works Party.They were small and the majority of the group in the beer hall barely listened but as an old man droned on about how Retherfed must be taken back by the Retherfedian and blamed the Pact for the current situation Draven shook his head at how laughable it was yet the group was interesting and he needed an outlet by so much so that by night's end he joined the party and agreed to start giving speeches about what truly needed to be done. Only time will tell how far it does.
Retherfedian Workmanship
Under President Friver’s regime he wanted to begin restoring relations with his neighbors and fix the economy by providing business for companies, upon hearing of the Saurtarian Republic’s call for a new rifle he found a way to kill two birds with one stone. He immediately got into contact with his Ambassador in the republic Radingotn Travis and told him to speak to the foreign minister of the Saurtarian Republic to offer the license for the Radington-16, which was an newer model due to the war and was treated with extreme respect from the soldiers as it was better in comparison at least to their beliefs than those of the enemy nations. However due to the surrender of Retherfed and the war being over the president saw little use to them and would be more then willing to get an increase in money if it meant trading away weapons.
As I sit here in this trench waiting for the inevitability of tomorrow to come for us. To charge once more over no man’s land, I can’t help but think, think of how this war has cost the lives of so many young Retherian. These lives which could have been so easily prevented if not for the fact of our inept and useless officers which are part of our nobility. For in the days of yore they choose titles like Baron,Count or Duke they have since titled themselves as Captain,Major or Colonel and while their title may have changed their unwillingness to adapt to the modern age or to even consider the possibilities that those below them may have some better tactic or idea has remained the same. This has only cost us lives as of yet, but should it continue I fear the war may lose, as the news report has it the Empire of Grenaza has already capitulated to the damned pact of unity which only puts more pressure on us. As the Vornheim have always put up a good fight, which we would normally beat but due to our inept leaders and advancing technologies we can only push so far. But that hasn’t stopped our men for I can hear the high spirits of my fellow squadmates singing our national anthem. Anyways it’s late and I must get some sleep I have many messages to run tomorrow and any loss of sleep could end me in a second.

A Step Away
While the Empire of Grenza may have capitulated, those within the Rethfedian high command remained vigilant, they had already pushed deeped into Vornheim lands and spirits amongst the soldiers were high. Yet why they feet were ready to march the knife which would cut the ankles was already brewing. For the industries which were owned by Blaquinians and were getting tired of the loss of materials wanted peace as well as the riches to flow. They began holding meetings, finding ways to form a democracy and rallying the people against the monarchy, however the people were lied to. There were plenty of resources to go around and the royal navy were able to allow enough trade ships through. Yet many believed it was the Republic of Blaque which influenced its citizens to stop the war and bring peace and order and so they did the revolution started on November 28th 1918, and with the army fighting it lasted 10 days before the monarchy fled and a republic was installed. Peace negotiations then began and all the men on the front were forced to return home, defeated and betrayed but not by their country men but by Blaquinians and their damned ways.
1. Nation Name: The Kingdom of Retherfed (After the war forced Republic of Retherfed
2. Head of State & Age: King Lukas Gate(43) (Fled) (President Joseph Friver) (38)
3. Political Alignment during the Most Atrocious War: Defeated Nation
4. Culture: Before the Atrocious War, Ratherfed was a center of culture, finance and unity. Their unity which was all rooted in the idea that every Retheren was superior to that of their neighbors. The Kingdom of Ratherfed, which was once made up of multiple states that each vied for power eventually over the years through diplomacy and military campaigns became unified under the Gate’s family.
Unification was officially recognized in 1885 after the last minor country agreed to join the union, however due to the internal hostilities before the unification, the kingdom was never able to obtain colonies. What they instead focused on was a powerful military base and economy if sorely lacking in navy. Their centralization on the mainland continent was key and made is easy to become a large center of trade which was used to expand the ever growing military-industry complex that the Gate’s family had always longed for.
Eventually at the onset of the atrocious war the Kingdom had high hopes, their military was prepared, their command structure was key and their allies strong. However due to new technologies, and old tactics. As well as prior nobility taking point rather than on-field and competent officers leading, lead it into a long stalemate. Eventually, after years of fighting, the front seemed ready to push and win but due to internal conflicts and weakened allies the Kingdom fell and soon became a Republic, while many soldiers see this new government as weak and traitors and EVERY Retheren sees those apart of the pact as traitors, only time will tell how long this peace lasts.
Idk, if we should repost them but sure here. Also I think all defeated nations are now taken.
