Strohmetzia

== Overview ==
Strohmetzia in the 1600’s was a part of Georgeland acting as a trade port for traversal around the tip of the Strohmetzian Peninsula. The wealth from what was a successful economy went almost directly to Georgelands government, not to the local people angered many, and resistance grew. However, wanting to avoid an armed revolt, in 1675 Georgeland allowed Strohmetzia independence so long as they agreed they would not hinder their own trade in the region and still allow Georgelandian trade through their straits. This was agreed and since 1675 no armed conflict between the 2 ever arose. 
== Government ==
Strohmetzia is a Republic, having 8 regions and 8 governors of each who can manage their own respective regions with little interference from power so long taxes were paid and a unified military be assembled for national defense, needing at least 100,000 men at all times in case of an emergency, whether it be internal or external, if it should fall below 100,000 conscription is innacted until it passes 150,000, although pay rates are considered good enough and the country is not constantly at war, so enlistment has rarely been low enough to warrant conscription, usually sitting at a 180,000 man army.
== Military ==
Strohmetzia's military is not large, but is sufficient. It has a large navy, 8th biggest in the world and a modern air force, consisting of JF-78/92 multirole fighters from Fritzerland for their standard needs and NF-82 carrier fighters from Czachoslovakia for sea operations. In vehicles most come from Georgeland such as trucks and APC's, however the ISV-79 is a domestically produced IFV that is still in use today by Strohmetzian forces, a wheeled platform that has a 30mm autocannon and space for 8 fully equipped soldiers. Though by some metrics this would better be classified as an APC, the Strohmetzians use it in the IFV role.
