Italonia

== Overview ==
Italonia is a nation of tumultuous history. Kicking off one of the longest continuous wars in the 1900's, "The War of Italonian Containment" in 1937 when it invaded Czachoslovakia. The power and territory it held was an imbalance on the continent, and garnered a multinational force to fight them, and after 7 years they couldn't afford to fight anymore, losing territory to Czachoslovakia and other nations. They grew an alliance with Gernia, Rokovsky and Rojava and bounced back from the defeat quickly, fighting Turnia in 1954 and winning. Their power in the region was rivaled by other's, but they remained strong enough to be a considerable threat on their own.
== Government ==
Italonia is a dictatorship. Until 1984 it was run by "I Generali"- The Generals, a military Junta, but after the Italonian Civil War it became a dictatorship under one man, Colonel Gianluca Bianco. Bianco moved Italonia more in the center of the international geopolitical board, adhering to The Treaty of Mascow ending the Czachoslovakian-Italonian war of 1983-84. He ruled until 2006, replaced by General Giovanni Da Franzini. Franzini would begin moving Italonia closer to Gernia's side of the world stage, causing TOMDAS and especially Czachoslovakia concern. What amounted was renewed arms deals between the 2 powers. Italonia, having tanks that were 20 years old at this point, wanted some modern military amenities.
== Military ==
Italonia has a powerful domestic manufacturing industry, not only able to produce domestic small arms but also cars and armored vehicles, the unorthodox silhouette of the VCF Rhino MRAP and the iconic sloped engine block of the Camion da Trasporto a Trazione Integrale (CTTI) series of trucks, the CTTI-51 and later CTTI-71. They even have a domestic copy of the AATBT-67: CABCAC-86 to try to keep the armored force modern facing the reality they would not be able to purchase new one's for the foreseeable future. It was better than the standard AATBT-67 and an improvement on the AATBT-67AU, but was still outclassed by the AATBT-78. By 2000, 342 of the CABCAC's were in service with the army and replaced the AATBT-67 and AATBT-67AU as the main tank, serving alongside the 200 AATBT-78's and the 76 AATBT-78AU's that remain. The air force was still largely older JP-67's, but a squadron of JP-91's was purchased from Rojava in 2008.
