== The Civil War ==
During the formation of Balkania and the Fascist Alliance, the Czechs had, had enough of being passed around by world superpowers. And the government was crumbling. Terrorist attacks and protests turned violent were commonplace in cities like Praha, Kralovy, Ostrava etc. The people had grown a hatred for their government. It was almost completely bankrupt, and corrupted to the core. A group of defected Czech soldiers organized the People's Army. They had other groups join them and were quite strong in the region. One morning hundreds of armed men charged and attacked the Kralovy armory. It was part of a plan called Operation Stronghold. Their allies in Chomutov had followed their orders and in only a few hours they had turned into fullscale battles with the garrison armies fought in the cold streets. In the beginning the Czech garrison army in Kralovy had
the upperhand as they had modern artillery and strategically placed MGs all over the city. But then the superior number of the communists started to show. The battle lasted 6 hours and it is estimated that around 4000 soldiers were killed. However up in Chomutov the battle lasted a lot shorter it ended in a rebel defeat. The rebels were shot down by the numerous artillery barrages and machine gun fire in only a matter of hours. They were destroyed while the Kralovy forces were gaining the upper hand down south. It all ended when the victorious Communist rebels raised the flag of the newly formed Voltava in the ruins of Kralovy Var. The People's Army pushed on for 3 day's capturing most of western Bohemia. 5 day's after the battle's of Kralovy and Chomutov the Czech government signed an unconditional surrender to the People's Army.
=== Modern Voltava ===
After a long period of stabilization the Voltavan Socialist Republic growed into a European superpower. It has gotten up relations with the Fascist Alliance and neighboring countries such as Wakia and Poland. It isn't officially a part of 
the alliance but has extremely good relations with them. Having fought a short war
of expansion it gained lots of land from both Poland and the North German Confederation (Seen in Episode 12). A monetary union has been established between Voltava and Poland to strengthen their relations and it was also kind of a way to apologize to Poland for destroying a large portion of their armed forces. It is not relatively famous for their human rights but their government fights strong against corruption. It is lead by a single ruler and a parliament that is chosen by said ruler. Voltava and its allies are always ready to fight for their status as a European power and together their military forces are the best in the world.
