Zatrodny

thumb|402x402px|Flag of the First Ultranationalist State of Zatrodny
Zatrodny was a nation in Wojcraft 8/8.1 created on the launch day of Woj 8, September 25, 2022. The nation was founded by player NapalmIsNice501 (Alias: SpartakKalashnik). The country was founded upon the principles of despotism and would switch hands in government many times before its inevitable end. Throughout the nation's history there were overall 6 cities. Grozny, at first a walled off rural town with vast mosques, to an urbanized industrial district, devolving first in the DFZ era and finishing at the start of Dutin's rise. Rogorsk, one of the first cities to begin urbanization but stopped construction after the dethroning Spartak Kalashnik. Dzhalka, a military installation, consisting of a lighthouse used to monitor the North Woj Sea. Novobirsk, a rural farming district previously occupied by Steinrodians. Karelia, a small town within a dense forest. Lastly, Selonica, a fort surrounded by slums of apartheid muslim Zatrods that once lived in Grozny before the Orthodox restoration.
== A Rough Start ==
Zatrodny's start was not the best, being raided several times during the server's opening. Not to mention the total defeat in the first First Columbian-Zatrod War. The battle was fought due to repeated Zatrod Insurgent attacks. The complete defeat of their forces left them with nothing, most would quit after this point, some would join Liberty PMC, but all would come back in the next iteration.
== Days of the D.F.Z ==
After the first Columbian-Zatrod War a democratic government was put in place by Columbian officials to ensure peace and stability in the region, the Democratic Federation of Zatrodny, or known as the D.F.Z. Alongside the new government with the president being Walter Benski a freedom fighter during the age of Kalashnik, as well as a Columbian military force stationed for possible insurgency, the Columbian Assistance and Peacekeeping Force in Zatrodny, or simply known as the C.A.P.F.Z.

Maintaining order in the region was a struggle for the Columbians as well as the loyal Zatrods. Grozny had become a battle ground for terrorist attacks and separatist movements, as the Muslim proclaimed Eastern Grozny had made a clear divide of Zatrods, those once loyal to the Kalashnik regime and those of the new government. Border clashes between the two were frequent until the D.F.Z was authorized by Columbia to carry out a full invasion of Eastern Grozny. What took place was brutal CQC combat resulting in the deaths of civilians and combatants alike. However, Grozny would be liberated from the separatist movement in the end.
Regardless of the liberation, terrorist attacks would linger in the area halting the progress of the reconstruction of Grozny. Many D.F.Z civilian workers would perish in these attacks alongside the peacekeepers. The C.A.P.F.Z would be called up many times to take care of the threat due to the shortage of arms in the D.F.Z military. Eventually the D.F.Z would carry out an effective anti terrorist campaign in the forest, fire bombing the foliage and revealing terrorist hideouts, ruling them out of Zatrodny for good. The terrorists would flee to Nova Scotia in order to escape persecution.
After the successful rule out of the terrorist threat, the D.F.Z would enact a religious and ethnic apartheid of the Muslim residents in Zatrodny, demolishing mosques and sacred places of the people, and erecting an Orthodox Cathedral. Many Muslims would also be kicked out of Grozny and forced to settle near a frozen river with nothing but bare wood and sheet metal to construct their housing, the area would later be known as Selonica during the Dutin era.
=== Anti terrorist operations abroad ===
After countless weeks of reconstruction, preparation and rebuilding, the D.F.Z was ready to launch an operation on their own, without the need of Columbia. On January 21st, 2023 the D.F.Z mobilized their full fighting force to finally root out the terrorist holdout in Nova Scotia, building trenches and making a slow advance towards the stronghold. Eventually after the fighting the D.F.Z were victorious and a democratic banner flew above a castle tower. Zatrod troops would clear the bunker of the fort and loot everything they could take, in the next few minutes flames erupted from the bunker whilst Zatrod troops walked out.
Another terrorist holdout had been located on the jungle island of Vilnius. A man by the name of Todd Howard had fled there after the East Grozny had fallen, and so the D.F.Z launched one last operation to take out all remnants of the terrorist threat. Boats landing ashore on the island with armed men stormed the beach and fired upon those inhabiting the island. Eventually resulting in Todd surrendering and the D.F.Z troops once again looting and burning the land they had conquered.
=== Allies and Assistance ===
On January 23rd, 2023 the D.F.Z would sign a defensive with the Palvarian Federation due to rising tensions with Ustaria. The D.F.Z viewed Ustaria as nothing more than just another East Grozny holdout. Three days later Ustaria would declare war against Palvaria and the D.F.Z would mobilize a small fighting force to assist the Palvarians. The Palvarians had managed to push the Ustarians back to a factory in which they had invaded from. A few minutes after a Columbian gunship can be seen in the distance raining a hail of bullets on the defenders. Columbian assistance had arrived to aid the Ustarians. At this point Columbian and Zatrod relations had almost been completely shattered. After hours of fighting the Columbians had pulled out and the Ustarians were pushed out completely. The two Slavic nations rejoiced in victory against their enemies. Many Zatrods in the D.F.Z now recognized they no longer needed Columbia for they had become self-sufficient and were able to stand on their legs once again.
== The Rise of Dutin ==
A relatively unknown general outside of the Zatrod sphere but highly influential, as every military operation was conducted and authorized under his watch. Jadaltmir Dutin was a general of the D.F.Z and would soon come to power due to his high influence in the command structure of Zatrodny. 
=== The February Revolution ===
On the 20th of February the C.A.P.F.Z enacted a 2 hour curfew among the Zatrod civilians. In retaliation and with a sense of nationalism the once loyal D.F.Z troops turned their backs and fired upon Columbian occupant forces, this event would later be known as the February revolution. It would take only a few minutes before a full Columbian military response. Boats landed along the shores of Grozny and brutal a battle commenced. The Columbians would attempt to entrench themselves with no avail, being stormed by the veteran Zatrod troops completely decimating their forces. Gunships would attempt a strike upon well fortified machine gun positions but would be shot down due to the Zatrods mass stockpile of arms due to their recent wars. The Columbian advance would be completely decimated on Grozny and an invasion Novobirsk would ensue. Boats piled upon the shores once again but this time the invaders were able to make a footing and eventually make a breakthrough against the wall. Zatrods would enact a scorched Earth policy on the city, evacuating military supplies and burning everything. Another beach landing would occur sometime later on Rogorsk, however due to the lack of urbanization the Columbians were barely able to make gains on the beach. RPGs and MG fire would hail all around and eventually the Columbians were forced to make a retreat.
== THE GRAND TRIAL ==
A counter attack was made on the walls of Jersey and Texas and a major breakthrough had occurred. Zatrod troops flooded in while Columbian militias tried to halt the attack, Zatrod forces were able to make significant gains even capturing a skyscraper for a time, however they were forced to back down, supplies had begun to run low as well as manpower and so Zatrod troops had pulled out, showing that they were no longer a weak nation to be stepped on, nearly defeating the number one superpower.
=== Breakthrough of Rika's line ===
Only days after the succession of the Ultramilitarist government another war would ensue. One on the border of Karelia that would stretch to the former city of Novobirsk now known as Neubirzig, now occupied of Steinrodians. Chrissant_1 would make many trips into Karelia armed and trespassing tempting the Zatrod forces stationed there. Only after sometime, gun fire had erupted on the river dividing Karelia and Neubirzig. Once again Zatrodny was at war, Columbia had started a surprise offensive on the edge of Karelian outskirts, in response Zatrod troops fully mobilized taking emplacements along tree lines and making use of their advanced tunnel networks under the town. The offensive was eventually pushed back and a Zatrod counterattack would begin on Neubirzig soil. Columbian, Treport and Neubirzig forces would wrap the city in fortications, but all would be in vain as the city would fall in a matter of hours with another Zatrod offensive occurring on the walls of Texas pulling Columbians out of the city. The battle would conclude with total Zatrod victory with the liberation of Novobirsk. Throughout the conflict the nation of Kriegsboden initiate a lend lease for the Zatrods which certainly was a driving force for why the Zatrod had won the war.
=== THE TRIAL CONTINUES ===
=== The Grozny pact ===
Sensing many conflicts to come, Dutin had proposed a pact of friendship among nations that had a similar thought. The nation of Treport and Kriegsboden alongside Zatrodny had sat down for one day in a ZFC and discussed further military economic cooperation. They had all agreed on a pact of friendship in order to assist the other when one is in need.
=== Formation of Woj Final Solution ===
Alongside the Grozny Pact a Columbian anarchist separatist movement named Woj Final Solution would start and call for the downfall of all tyrannical governments, Zatrodny would actively support WFS in order to halt Columbian military build up. This group would wage a never ending war against the Columbian populace, destroying morale and the courage of the Columbian people. Many battles were won and eventually Texas had fallen due to this never-ending war. Columbians would eventually rebuild however that incident had changed the nation. Chrissant_1's emergency power was in full effect and so the Columbian military fully mobilized for an offensive against WFS. Storming the beaches like they did with Zatrodny, only to fail due to Zatrod assistance. Many more battles were fought like this but eventually a war was fought with Zatrodny in Karelia that had resulted in the crippling of Zatrodny's weapon stockpile. No longer able to support WFS Columbia once again mobilized and took out WFS once and for all.
== The Trial's end ==
After this point, Dutin no longer saw a point in continuing the conflict, and so the next decision would leave the Zatrod people in shock. The signing of the Treaty of Ezra took place on March 4th 2023 in which both Columbia and Zatrodny would cease fighting until the 1st of April. The Grand Trial was over and so there was no point for an Ultramilitarist government. Many were outraged at the decisions, especially Dutin's generals, Igor Volkov and Aleksandr Orlov. Dutin would succumb to illness the day the Treaty of Ezra ended.
== Dismantlement ==
With no successor to the throne of Zatrodny the Z.S.S the Zatrodny State Security agency tried to grasp onto power while they still could due to the power vacuum and established the Zatrod Provisional Government in Grozny, the government was weak and could not maintain stability for long. Soon breakaway states would form with varying ideologies. The leaders of these states would consist of the disgruntled genarals and officials from earlier, however a familiar face had taken the scene by storm. Walter Benski the former leader of the D.F.Z, had take control of Rogorsk and with the assistance of Columbian supply drops and Columbian training with Benski's C.A.P.F.Z remnants, they were ready to take Zatrodny and restore democracy.
== Warlords of Zatrodny ==
=== Republic of Rogorsk ===
As mentioned earlier, the former D.F.Z leader Walter Benski presumed dead before had returned to his torn nation with Columbia's Castle Bravo destroyer alongside C.A.P.F.Z remnants which had set up base in an abandoned tunnel network in the forests of Grozny. Sniper outposts lying around the compound in case of any outside threat. The young republic was Zatrodny's only hope for a democratic future and so Columbia dedicate many of its resources in order to ensure the republic would survive.
=== Orlov Brigade ===
The Orlov Brigade was a military group led by Aleksandr Orlov within Zatrodny turned mercenary group and during the civil war, bandit renegades which wanted nothing more than to burn and loot the plunders of war. During the days of the D.F.Z the Brigade was responsible for the infamous looting and burning of Vilnius and Nova Scotia. These men were veterans of the early D.F.Z conflicts of anti terrorism and turned their backs on the government once Dutin had died due to their belief of maintaining a never ending war to drive profits to the nation.
=== Zatrod Provisional Government ===
The Zatrod Provisional Government was run by the Z.S.S who still had a grasp of power in Grozny but would eventually lose it in the end to the Zatrod Free army led by Igor Volkov. The Z.P.G held the dying unpopular ideals of Dutin in which the trial had ended, which was part of why they fell. They only were able to hold Grozny for a few hours before the Free Army had taken full control of it.
=== Zatrod Free Army ===
The free army was led by Igor Volkov, a lieutenant during the days of the D.F.Z leading the charge in Palvaria and a general during the rise of Dutin. Volkov advocated for the idea of funding an anarchist separatist movement in Columbia and was responsible for forces stationed on the shores of New Jersey. During the civil war the Free Army declared its independence from the Z.S.S and fought fearlessly against the Z.S.S forcing them to surrender complete control of Grozny to them and clashed with republican forces often.
=== Zatrod White League ===
The Zatrod White League was comprised of a small fighting garrison on Dzhalka, Zatrodny's sea outpost overlooking Ezra. The Battalion had believed the complete cleansing of all they deemed non "pure" in Zatrodny, however would stay put on their lighthouse, defending every wave of attacks from all sides of the civil war, due to their stockpile of heavy weaponry.
=== Zatrod Restoration Army ===
The Zatrod Restoration Army was a movement in the town of Karelia in which the people had believed in a restoration of the old Kalashnik regime. The movement would have very little fighting and would simply unite with the forces of the Orlov Brigade.
== The Civil War ==
The civil war would start when the first states declared their independence from the Zatrod Provisional Government. The first being the Rogorsk Republic, and the following being White League, The Free Army, Orlov Brigade, and the Restoration Army. The first clashes would begin with the Z.P.G and Free Army resulting in the capture of Grozny by the Free Army. The Free army would start an offensive against the Republicans and fight skirmishes against C.A.P.F.Z remnants. At the same time the Free Army had been fighting White League forces at Dzhalka with Republican forces being there as well. The first day of fighting would result in the fall of the White League and a push back by Republican forces. The very next day the Free Army would start the offensive once again, however the Orlov Brigade would start an offensive of their own against the Free Army. With two fronts being opened the Free Army was forced to pull out of the offensive and defend Grozny. The following battle would result in the defeat of the Free Army after the death of Volkov. With half of Zatrodny united the Brigade pushed the C.A.P.F.Z remnants out of their cave dugouts and tunnel networks and into Rogorsk. The battle of Rogorsk would be a bloodbath of both sides, Rogorsk forces would be backed by Columbian volunteers to reinforce the front and would halt Brigade advances. Columbian Tomahawk missiles would also be launched in Brigade entrenchments. The fierce defense of Rogorsk had resulted in a stalemate and high casualties would drive Orlov to insanity and would result in the authorization of Karelia's nuclear arsenal being unleashed upon the Rogorsk populace. The Brigade had won the war but at the cost of unforeseen consequences.
== The Final War ==
Only a day after the Orlov Brigade had won the war, their leader was shot dead inside of the Grozny Cathedral. The Brigade, not much loyal to Orlov, turned to a far more persuasive and seemingly competent leader. Nikolay Talberg, a Z.S.S propagandist of the Dutin era, had been appointed to the throne of Zatrodny. Talberg was nothing short than comepletely insane due to his growing age, he rallied the Zatrod people using religion and the false notion of the heir to the old Zatrod empire lurked somewhere in Columbian walls. This rallying would fall short as during the same day Columbia had declared war on Zatrodny for the use of nuclear devices against Rogorsk. The following battle that would take place would similarly resemble the one of the February Revolution, only that the Zatrod force was severely outnumbered due to the civil war and Columbia's military being fully mobilized. Instead of attacking first from the shores of Grozny the Columbian forces had begun their attack from behind the Grozny Cathedral. This attack would completely falter due to the highly urbanized area and towering apartment complexes. Their next attack would come from the shores of Grozny. The Columbian forces would struggle at first but would prevail in making a foothold on Zatrod soil, and with the explosive capabilities of Castle Bravo the Columbians were only going to continue making advances from this point. The Zatrods were forced to sign a ceasefire in which fighting would take place tomorrow. The next day would come and Talberg would coordinate an offensive pushing the Jersey walls once again similar to the past wars. The offensive would fail and the Zatrods would lose most of their war material from it. Whilst Talberg's offensive was in full effect Columbians started closing in on Grozny, unknown to the Zatrods. Once they had called a retreat the Zatrods were dismayed that their capital city was only a few chunks from comepletely falling. What would occur in the next few minutes were acts of desperation, as missiles would reign upon the buildings below, terrorizing the civilians Grozny and as the invaders inched closer and closer, Talberg would give Zatrodny's last orders. A rain of nuclear warheads appeared overhead, mostly directing towards Columbia, but their allies as well such as Palvaria, Columbia would exchange the favor turning the once great city into an enormous crater as well as the rest of Zatrodny.
