Sovinia

Sovinia is a faction based heavily on Poland with bits and pieces of video games and movies, first started in July 10th 2015 as a one man group made up of only friends/mass-invite. Sovinia went through multiple changes through its history Including the removal of Communism and a few name changes. Sovinia's History is split up into Four Era's. The Communist Era, First Republic, Second Republic and the Fascist Era.
== History ==
=== Communist Era ===
Sovinia was founded on July 10, 2015 under the name "The Solvian Union" with the clan tag [S.U]. At this time there was no real recruitment, and the Solvian Union was not recognized as a faction. They manufactured some tanks and equipment during this era including the MBT-50 design which is still fielded today.
=== First Republic ===
The First Republic was founded on March 13th, 2016 under the name "Militia of Gaming" with the clan tag [M.O.G]. The new group removed Communism as a governing system. During this era Sovinia became a state inside of GCAE.
=== Second Republic ===
==== First Era ====
During the first half of The Second Republic Sovinia was Experimenting with ACF with aid from the leader of FIDE (Formerly GCAE). Sovinia had built some stuff for FIDE but one vehicle would be used for Service in FIDE which was the E-30, The E-30 was a Tankette built for being deployed from an airdrop, The E-30 saw service until The Split. During this era Sovinia would see its first battle; The Dirtbox Conflict.
==== The Dirtbox Conflict ====
The Dirtbox Conflict was a conflict involving FIDE, ABMC, RFAI, NG and others to remove Izakia from power on Dirtbox Warzone. New Sovinian made tech was used to fight the Izakians such as the MBT-100, M-90 and the AAU-30 Anti Air Gun. Sovinia was fighting along side FIDE during this battle, Taking out multiple Izakian Troops and Vehicles eventually winning the battle.
==== Creation of a Close Ally ====
January 5th, 2017 was the beginning of Sovinia's Greatest Ally the November Army Republic. Created by a FIDE member named Quentin he was taught how to be a good leader by the leader of FIDE
==== The Last FIDE War ====
On February 4th, 2017 The War that made FIDE leave the game for good, It started when Izakia, TPR and NG Invaded Omega Arena. At this point FIDE had already given up on gmod once the war had started but that didnt stop members from FIDE and RFAI to stop them. About an Estimated 17 IZK,TPR and NG members were Invading that day, Yet only 4 RFAI/FIDE members defending. The First part of the battle seemed like a sure victory for FIDE/RFAI, But then as time went IZK was banned from the server while IZK claimed Victory. This was when "The Split" Started...
==== The Split ====
At this point FIDE had Officially left gmod already wanting to expand into other games, But this has not stopped Sovinia from Moving Forward. Sovinia had Officially left FIDE to pursue greatness of its own. More was focused on making Sovinia better and stronger at this time while making new Friends, Allies and then eventually Enemies...
==== First battle while alone ====
On March 9th, 2017 For a long while Sovinia has been building up on Dirtbox while making new friends, Then Elias joined. Elias was trying to annex a small group called "Liechtenstein" but Sovinia was willing to defend the weak even when Sovinia was somewhat weak itself. The battle started with Elias spawning a public maus, Luckly Sovinia had a very mobile tank to flank and kill the maus. Then Elias spawned a giant possibly Illegal mech, It was not killable even when using the newly made 215mm Howitzer. The battle ended with a game of tank football then Elias left.
=== Second Era ===
==== First NAR-Cryzec War ====
On May 29th, 2017 The Cryzec attacked NAR territory in an attempt at conquest. Sovinia had limited involvement on the battlefield during this conflict, however aided in an NAR Victory with the help of ABMC. This defeat by a wall and subsequent humiliation of the Cryzec would later be the cause of the 9/14 Attacks. With the attack being planned for months by Nuklear.

==== Battle with OHAPIC ====
On August 8th, 2017 OHAPIC was threatening NAR possibly due to territorial conflicts on a long dead server know as SSPH "Saul Slugmans Pac Haven", As a result Sovinia joined in to help NAR. The battle ended with major NAR/SOVN defeat, It was considered one of the biggest defeats in Sovinian history with OHAPIC killing 14 NAR/SOVN tanks while only killing 1 OHAPIC tank. But this would not be as big of a defeat as a conflict that would soon come...
==== Second battle with IZK ====
August 26th, 2017 A war that started according to IZK as being over a broken treaty resulted in a battle on the server known as Canadians Turf. It was a tough fight that leaned in favor of IZK for most of the battle, but IZK being IZK they were banned from the server shortly after which resulted in a minor victory.
==== The Savage attack on NAR a.k.a "9/14" ====
See original post: 9/14 Attacks
September 14th, 2017 the most Infamous attack in Gmod history, Cryzoz Infiltrated the NAR steam group by the help of NuklearBurrito, Nuklear later gave Cryzoz admin and started deleting announcements, discussions and kicking members. Nuklear later got away with the plot, leaving the blame solely on Cryzoz.
 This would later be one of the reasons NAR merged with SOVN and the start of a conflict that will last for a long time.
==== Second NAR-Cryzec War ====
October 3rd, 2017 the war started with Cryzoz wanting to claim the land of NAR because they needed "Meme reserves", When NAR refused to give up their land then the war began. NAR and SOVIN setup base defenses to get ready for a siege on lemon oak. Unfortunately Cryzoz was not alone, RFAS and CYTZ forces helped Cryzec forces break through the defenses of Lemon oak with combined arms while Cryzoz was spamming the leader of SOVNs chat while it was taking place. This was an unexpected turn of events for NAR/SOVIN forces but it turns out the Second NAR-Cryzec war was involved with the RFAI-RFAS civil war which was the reason RFAS and CYTZ got involved. Lemon oak would soon be regained later on by the help of NuklearBurrito, but for now it is in Cryzec hands... 
==== Reclaiming Lemon Oak ====
After Two months of silence and build up it was time to take back Lemon Oak from Cryzec which seemingly forgot about their claims, This would result in more factions claiming and further conflicts on the server. Sovinia had offered NAR half of Lemon Oak back but refused the offer, Lemon oak under Sovinian control would be renamed to Pogranicze (Borderlands in Polish).
==== Defense of Pogranicze ====
December 26th, 2017 There was no surprise that others would want to conquer Pogranicze after its reclaiming. A Meme faction known as the Minecraft Empire and a Cryzec Engineer/Soldier attempted to invade Pogranicze with an Illegal Hover tank and Minge tactics, They had conquered Pogranicze for a while during the battle but was retaken when the SOVN Leader rallied his allies ETAM, The Black Sun and Group Members under the bridge near spawn for a Counter attack that was proven to be very successful and held Pogranicze till the enemy forces had given up.

==== AEF Influence ====
At this time SOVN had expressed support for AEF in a relations effort with factions of the AEF sphere, SOVN had helped AEF train new troops, Film video projects for them and built exports for AEF use including the MBT-50.
==== Evacuation of Pogranicze ====
On January 12th, 2018 Giving NAR Lemon Oak back resulted in Cryzec/Vzech being angry again which would result in another war, But Fear that IZK or UMU might aid Cryzec in the fight like during the Second NAR-Cryzec war again untimately led to the withdraw of Lemon oak and Pogranicze which was seen as a controversial move but later proved to be a smart one in the near future.
==== New Land ====
On January 16th, 2018 A deal with a faction ran by Over9000 named the Facist States of Lucitania was made on a server known as Dirtbox, Sovinia had given Lucitania the MBT-100 Main Battle tank in exchange for a small plot of land on the corner of the map named Równiny ("Plains" in Polish). Due to this deal IZK had warned SOVN about trading with an enemy of theirs and threatened to war SOVN if trades did not cease, Not wanting another war with IZK the agreement was made and no further trading with Lucitania were made.
==== Return of Pogranicze ====
Febuary 15th, 2018 Evacuating from Pogranicze had proved to be a smart move because at this date Cryzec/Vzech had abandoned the server in favor of another server, This resulted in the reclaiming of Pogranicze and Lemon Oak with no consequences.
==== SSPH is Dying ====
Febuary 22nd, 2018 The Home server for Sovinia and many other smaller factions was on its last month by an unknown reason possible due to money. This event resulted in the server colonizing effort of multiple servers.
==== Operation Outbreak ====
March 5th, 2018 With Saul Slugman's Pac Haven being on its last month it was time to find a new server to call home, One of them was a great contender called "Bacon's Sandbox". Bacons sandbox was a sandbox server similar to Super Sandbox except with zombies and M9K, It had a small player base and was peaceful and fun to play on. Interestingly enough it had a level up system on the server for killing zombies, Occupation of the server was quick and clean with some stiff resistance resulting in the operation being a success. Unfortunately the server was taken down for an unknown reason and was never seen again.
==== The Plob ====
March 10th, 2018 Izakia gave Sovinia land on their server called "The Plob" possibly as a gift, shortly after settling into the newly claimed land Izakia claimed that ISA would join to conquer the server, Sovinia not wanting their new land to be taken away so soon took up arms against ISA later realizing that they never joined though while waiting did learn some new stuff on making tanks and E2s by the help of IZK.
==== Arrival of NUUE and NCMB ====
March 14th, 2018 Two warring factions showed up in a North Korean style fashion, One known as New Universal Union Era or NUUE ran by Tojo and the other known as NCMB or New Combine Empire ran by Brayden. Seeing how manipulative and how shady Tojo was Sovinia decided to pick NCMB as as new ally. On March 16th, 2018 Sovinia had put the SOVN Steam group and other stuff on lockdown while giving new joining members background checks due to NUUE's spy ring known as OP-7, These tensions would later be escalated into full blown war with the two factions and their allies.
==== NCMB-NUUE War ====
On March 17th, 2018 War had started between the two factions on SSPH, The first battle had been a major defeat for SOVN and NCMB due to being heavily unprepared for countering Aircraft due to poor Anti Aircraft weapons and nonexistent Airforce. On March 17th, 2018 The Second Battle had started and was very different from the first battle, NUUE decided to use tanks instead of aircraft in an attempt to best SOVN forces on their own playing field which resulted in their major defeat and eventual saltiness after the battle.

==== ISA attacks NCMB ====
April 12, 2018 ISA launches an attack on NCMB possibly due to NUUEs humiliating defeat or ISA just wanted to fight something, Sovinia proceeds to join the fight against ISA racking up 4 vehicle kills on ISA is either missile spam or purposefully outdated vehicles like the T-20 which destroyed a T88 by killing its cam controller, the battle was lost but it showed that no matter what vehicle they face they still have a chance of dying and this battle was a fucking meme.
==== Revenge for 9/14 ====
April 24th, 2018 Infiltration of Cryzoz's discord and trust had been successful for avenging 9/14 which resulted in Cryzoz getting kicked from the RFAS discord and the leaking of faked embarrassing info created by Tojo about Cryzoz marking this the end of an Era.
=== Third Era ===
==== AEF-IZK War ====
July 15th, 2018 Sovinia declares war on IZK and MEG to help one of Sovinia's only large meta allies AEF and get some combat experience, on the IZK front of the war it was admittedly lost but on the OHAPIC front it was a total victory.
==== Revenge on OHAPIC ====
During the AEF-IZK war OHAPIC joined on the IZK side of the war threatening the Sovereignty of Sovinia expecting SOVN to accept the ridiculous terms, Unsurprisingly Sovinia declines the conditions and all out war breaks out with OHAPIC and SOVN which resulted in a devastating defeat of OHAPIC. OHAPIC Tanks during the fight were no match for the Sovinian X-10 Main Battle Tank that was battle proven in the early fights of the war, OHAPIC would later make an announcement after the fight about IZK not helping them during the fight and would later never be heard from again possibly due to the leader being busy irl.
