== Do i need to know Finnish? ==
No, you do not need to know Finnish, in fact we don't expect anyone to know Finnish that's why you are only expected to have a good grasp onto the English Language so you can communicate in our Events that are made Exclusively in English. That being said, it does not matter that you will not catch onto some Finnish words along the way. 
== Historical Accuracy. ==
Due to us being a Alternate Roleplay Community, we are rather accurate on the Historical Accuracy (Equipment Wise), although there might be some "Flexible" Spots here and there due to the Flexibility of Equipment and Tactics offered by the Finnish Army in the Winter War and Continuation War. 
== How Heavy We RP?? ==
We like to think that our RP events are pretty darn Strict although you can expect to be at ease when it comes to chill-er Events.

== Introduction ==
Once upon a time, there was a nation in the most northern parts of Europe called Greater Finland. This Nation was not only powerful in its culture and Economy, resisting the Imperial Russians for decades upon decades, forming a land barrier between the West of the Northern European Countries, but this Country was a Military Stronghold as many would say, having one of the best militaries existent in the world at the time, sadly, this will not last much longer… With a new decade approaching, the Greater Finland Government and its Finnish Defense Force would get into a conflict that would be devastating for the Future to come. 
The Finnish Defense Force started to have multiple disagreements with the then Leader of Greater Finland but for a long while, these were just jokes… that is until the Defense Force made a mistake that would cost their Nation a lot Diplomatically. Instead of trying to resolve the problem, out of anger, the Leader of Greater Finland has Expelled his Army Higher Ups, creating a powder keg of anger between the ranks, resulting in the Leader, now Field Marshal of Finland, to institute an indirect Military Dictatorship in his nation.
== CHAPTER I | Political Carnival ==
Now with full control, the Marshal went out to attract more recruits into his army with his amazing speeches that would inspire a whole nation to rise up to serve their Leader! With a new wave of Recruits, the Greater Finnish Army was as numerous as ever, getting new High Rankings that shall lead the new into anything the future holds for Finland. Everything seemed to go well, the new 48th “Death Skulls” Air Force was more powerful than the Luftwaffe and Royal Air Force Combined, the 21st Jäger Infantry Regiment was as big as the top armies of the world, being filled with recruits from all over the globe! This would be seen also later when some Foreigners by the names of Sergeant Darian von’Wolff, Staff Sergeant Lo Thomas and Master Sergeant Hanne von Frankenland would slowly rank up, getting more power in the Greater Finnish Army, being seen as people with big potential. 
One morning, Darian being woken up early by a Siren, rushed to the HQ Field, where the soldiers were announced that the Air Force Higher Ups were now called Deserters for taking actions without the Marshal Knowing and the 48th was now a Disbanded Regiment, leaving the Greater Finland with a rather new Air Force called the 24th Greater Finnish Air Force. Confused at first, Darian gathers evidence for the whole day even daring to speak with his now exiled Officers and until the end of that day, he has assembled a Revolution which has set a idea in the Marshals Head for quite a while to come that he is not alone and that a big mistake was made with taking this decision. The Field Marshal admits his actions, apologizing to the ones he exiled and done wrong and informally the Military Dictatorship is doped with the creation of the Greater Finnish Council.
With these acts, Greater Finland, now even more broken than ever, is trying to solve its problems once more through a more democratic manner which has been proven efficient for a long time. Although these were good changes, one more that would shape Greater Finland even further would be taken soon after this event. A new Detachment that was initially reliant on the 21st Jäger Infantry Regiment is to be formed! This new Detachment would end up being called the 98th “Iron-Wolves” Trooper Detachment, which would serve in Special Operations and would use Tactics varying from Storm to Guerilla but all with a twist that will make them more cruel and efficient than ever. This new Detachment would become a safe space for many people, being based on trust between its members, which will later on prove to be a very good idea.
== CHAPTER II | Sisu ==
Finally, many would be able to now say that the Northern Lion is stabilizing and rising back up to its once full might! Thankfully this sentiment would not be short lived, although now with the country Stabilised but still Vulnerable, a new tension arises to the East. The mighty Soviet Union, has now set up multiple military bases in the Occupied Karjala region and has sent many Communist Sympathizers over the border which sadly, have successfully managed to create some tensions in the Finnish Nation. Eventually the Soviet Spies would get found and eliminated by the Military Police but their impact would soon be felt by every resident of Finland. 
If in the previous years mild paranoia of the leader would be the reason the Finnish Nation got weakened, now another problem arose between the ranks. These being said, the new recruits were instructed by many Soviet Agents how to effectively create drama and panic between their ranks, disobeying basic commands and not even listening to the marshal himself. 
With rumors of war being present, the 98th along with higher ups from other Regiments and Squads were taking harsh decisions on the enlistees, some of them being labeled as sudden and harsh but since there was no other way, everyone agreed, these decisions should be implemented immediately!
== CHAPTER III | Talvisota ==
Days later, the previous high tensions with the USSR have resulted in all out war with Greater Finland. The Soldiers from the 98th “Iron Wolves” began executing their plan, sabotaging the supply lines of the Red Devil, causing them to have higher losses against the Greater Finnish Forces. The war has been going on the frontlines and at those times the Fins were pushed back in their own lands, rather than proceeding to march into the Enemy Territories. In the meantime, the Finnish Intelligence Network, which had been supported by the Shadows of the 98th, did counter-information to provide the Government with a lot of secret news that Soviets were keeping for themselves. Going back on the battlefield, the 98th Troops were trying their best to push the Soviets back. The Army Commander Hanne Von Frankenland was defending the South-Eastern Flank while keeping communications up with the Northern Flank which was mainly composed of troops from the 21st Jäger Infantry Regiment.
At the government building, the Head of Security, Gazi Osman Paşa, was working hard to help 98th and the 21st Jäger to hold their positions, sending spies to the enemy trenches, redirecting the info about and their tactics towards the Northern Lion. As many would say, war never sleeps, and so, at night, Spec Ops Leader Darian von’Wolff, using his sneak and ambush tactics to slow down the enemy, causing the Red Army to suffer more losses day by day. The operations were successful and he himself was very proud of his efforts to protect the nation that he was willing to serve. The frontlines were tough to defend but also the people inside the Greater Finland had to become safe once more. The Rescue Missions were led by Lo Thomas, who was a great officer that was loyal to his nation. At the end, the missions went well but the Rescue Team suffered losses and couldn't deal with the huge hordes of the Soviets coming towards them. The lines were breaking one by one, the south being lost to the Soviets and so did the Northern part of Finland. The joint Finnish Forces could no longer resist the Soviet invasion and so, they were on the verge of collapse. 
The Government was very disappointed and wasn’t really satisfied with the result of the war and decided to point fingers at the 98th which got exiled from the nation, right after the Detachment became a strong Regiment. The mistake that the Government has made cost them a lot. Soviet troops surrounded the Capital and forced them to surrender. All the regiments were disbanded including 21st Finnish Jaeger And 24th Greater Finnish Air-Force. After the capitulation of Greater Finland, the country’s fate has been decided by the Soviets as they demilitarized the whole country and annexed the once powerful nation.
== CHAPTER IV | Jatkosota ==
Days pass and the Greater Finland, now known as the Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic has been fully incorporated in the Soviet Union. Many people express their concerns and their dissatisfaction towards the new regime but soon, they are to be Silenced as the ones before them were... with death or torture. Seeking initiative, a new organization is formed by the old Kenraali that just broke out of the Siberian Gulags and returned to his Fatherland. Then one of a sudden in the streets, a large movement against the Communist Regime that were occupying the Country just started, and sure enough it was darn bloody, the Imperials, as the new Resistance Group liked to call itself, were following Schmidt's Legacy with extreme Loyalty but as all groups have traitors, the pesky Communist Propaganda got to some weaklings and caused them to plan multiple assassination's attempts against their own leader to put an end to his rise. Thankfully enough, none of them succeeded due to a general called Boris Kucharieovič, intercepting them on time and quickly punishing the traitors. 
Soon enough, the Imperials got information that the 98th was still in service, but now stationed in the Ottoman Empire. With a letter and a radio communication, talks were now opened for a combined two front assault of the Soviet Union. The Imperial Revolutionaries were to rise up and advance all the way from Helsinki to recover their lost lands, and the Ottoman Troops would have their offensive planned in the South of the Red Devil! Eventually, the order was given out, and so, the Ottomans had started fighting back the Soviets in the Caucasus Mountains along with a Italian Expeditionary Force that was trained to fight on mountains and the new Ottoman Conscripts that will fight along with their Elite Units until their last blood drops.
Now more motivated than ever, the Imperials Managed to free most of Finland from the Soviet Occupation, having Boris as their commander and Chief in the North and Gustav in the South. In the meantime, the 98th, seized control of the Southern Front and returned to the Northern Lion making a Spearhead Straight into Leningrad where they destroyed all Communist propaganda Statues, burnt all documents that has been kept inside command posts, tearing down all newspapers, and for the last, executing all the Soviet diplomats that has been in control of the Greater Finland.
With the war taking longer and longer, many people started calling it Jatkosota... the Continuation War! Even though the Military was doing a good job, taking all ethnic Finnish and Finnish related lands back from its aggressor, the Finnish Nation now lacked a leadership during this war, and so, proving trough his actions of the past, now Sotamarsalkka took the initiative to become the first President of Greater Finland, driving the Finnish nation, for the first time in its history so far, in a Constitutional Republican System.
== CHAPTER V | Civil Unrest in Europe ==
Over the Horizon, there lies the nation of Weimar. A nation that was established after the First World war, as a result of a loosing German Empire. Sadly though, this nation has yet had someone that can put it back on track, waiting for decades for a savior which never came. Various factions of the Weimar Republic were formed, all wanting full control over their nation, trying to fix everything using their own ways. Eventually, as expected by many, another Civil War arises in Europe... The German Civil War... In the south, Freies Deutschland, a Military Dictatorship with its Wehrmacht as its pride aims for a Great German nation that wishes to restructure the already existing policies, making them be helpful for the nation and resolving the Economy. In the North West, the Kaiser rises again promising a Germany that matches or outperforms the previous German Empire. The Deutsche Kaiserreich has a new Constitutional Monarchical way of leading and hates the Communist Sympathizers if the previously Weimar Republik for their corruption of German culture. At last, in the East, the Nationalistische Deutsche Reich seize control of what is left from the Republik by assassinating the Weimar President along with everyone that sided with him, instituting a Totalitarian Regime based on Fear and Expansionism into nearby nations such as the Soviet Union and France. 
Hearing these news, Helsinki immediately sends Hanne Von Frankland, a ethnic German Prikaatikenraali. to the Deutsche Kaiserreich to establish friendly relations between the two nations that have a similar Constitutional way of Leading. The Kaiser or as known by some in the western world, Emperor, agrees on setting up a Alliance between the Finnish Nation and theirs Kaiserreich, even though risking a war with the Soviet Union due to Finland still being in a Major Conflict of the 20th Century against the USSR. In return, the Greater Finland sends their new conscripts to fight in the German Civil war due to the Eastern Front being too bloody for new Conscripts even with months of training. 
One morning, a Finnish Military Base receives a SOS from a unknown signal. They suspect it might be a Soviet Leaked Communication or a Soviet trap, and so, they send a small squad of Highly Trained men to investigate. Once the Soldiers arrive to their destination, they find a soldier from the SS branch of the Nationalistische Deutsche Reich, which has deserted from his home nation with the help of a German Resistance Ship. He gets escorted by the rescue team but they are soon greeted by two of the Reich's Dive Bombers and a Frontline Bomber which bomb the whole area around them, thinking that they can eliminate the deserter. With this event in mind, the rescue team returns to the HQ as soon as possible with their "Hostage" and a letter is sent to the Reich which demand explanation for the occurring events after interrogation of the Rescued. 
Days pass and a letter never comes back from the Reich even though the Spy Agency knows they have received it. With this in mind, more diplomacy was made between the Freies Deutschland and Deutsche Kaiserreich by Prikaatikenraali Hanne, which successfully united the South West and North West into the Zweites Deutsches Kaiserreich. Now with the Eastern Front stabilized, and a strong ally to the south west, the Greater Finland announces its war declaration against the Reich, which doesn't fail to victimize itself trough Disgusting Propaganda.
