Balkan Rebellion

**Dev. Status** | Conceptual

"*We stand firmly like a mountain,*

*We shall forever stand!*

*May he be damned, he who betrays his brethren,*

*The traitor of his land!*"

- "Hey, Slavs", Yugoslavia's national anthem.
The **Balkan SFR's** is an old fan faction designed by Protroid and Yellowking, with help from ProudAmerikan. They feature powerful infantry that increase in power while garrisoned, but very weak vehicles. It has been redesigned by the Quantum group as a minor faction.

## Background

### Wretched Hive

History was never kind to those in the Balkan Peninsula.

It started in World War 1, much of the area was destroyed by intense fighting between the Central and Allied Powers. When World War 2 reared its ugly head, the Soviets were keen to try and take the land. It was a crossroad of paths for Thousands of years prior, and the Soviets saw it as an opportunity to strike Allied Turkey and Saudi Arabia, fortunately, they were pushed out after the war and some time of occupation. World War 3 turned the place into a wasteland. The Soviets invaded again, this time keeping some of the poor nations within it as occupied republics. When the Syndicate offered help to the Warlords in the area still during WWIII, they were double crossed when the Syndicate more or less overthrew the governments of the nations they were barely able to save. Yugoslavia suffered a worse fate, some residents even reported large cathedrals clashing with what seemed to be a devilish cult (this was often dismissed as claims from people hopped up on Syndicate Drugs).

The landscape was altered by war, never to be the same again.

Once mighty cities such as Bucharest laid in ruins. Attempts by both the Soviets and the Syndicate to rebuild many of them are few. As well as in both faction's minds, not very important with both The Atomic Kingdom of China and the African Emirates a short step away from each of them respectively. The Soviet Union further polluted the area with massive amounts of Soviet Reactors. The entire area became an apocalyptic wasteland, thousands lived in ruined cities, a police force was almost never present, as it proved too hard to maintain. Much of the population began aligning themselves over who they thought could fix their land, and further waged battle on the ruined plains. One of the places most damaged by war was the nation of Albania, so deformed by Syndicate Weather control, that much of land is as cold and snowy as north Russia, with only a small thaw in the spring.

### Silver Storm

In January 1969, with the war over after four years of battle, the time came to strike the first blow.

In January 1969, the Ragusa Sprawl in Yugoslavia was reduced to somthing the Syndicate ever feared, a respectable Sprawl where they had no influence in whatsoever. To the Yugoslavian leaders, the Syndicate appeared kind, and wished their economy and country luck for the near future. In reality, they couldn't stand it. The Syndicate were extremely annoyed that they lost a prime Sprawl so close to their Italian mainland. They silently sweared vengence on the former Sprawl, but even they didn't realize the reprocussions of the actions they would make. A storm. Their weather manipulation technology at it's finest. They planned on flooding the city, as well as the rest of Yugoslavia to destroy their economy overnight, and buy back the land at pennies per acre. Unfortunately, the operators of the Syndicate's impresive machine made a mistake that would mean the end. Instead of setting the machine to Yugoslavia, they set it for the entire Balkan region (most likey due to a surplus of Smilex-laced alcohol). The resulting storm "The Storm of the Century" as some experts called it, practically ruined the fate of the region, in two days, and showed no signs of stopping. As a matter of fact, it would be another month before the skies became clear over the Balkan Nations once more.

By the 15th day of the storm, the cities (and economies) of Turkey and Austria, two prominent Allied Nations in the region, collapsed. The Allies rushed to evacuate the populace of Istanbul and Vienna, but they were still too slow. The Balkan League helped the remaining populace who were unable to evacuate for various reasons.

Worse off were Bulgaria and Romania, filled with Soviet chemical plants, the poorly stored reactor waste flooded into the rivers and lakes, eventually leaking into the groundwater of the two nations. The Soviet Union was unable to instate the proper clean up procedures on the grand scale that they were presented with. The Soviets have now lost control over the western areas of these nations, but still hold garrisons in coasts in order to keep oil derricks running (And keeping the face of soviet power unharmed in the eyes of other nations). Once again, the League helped the people there, providing them with their own limited supply of fresh water, and raiding remaining Soviet forces, in the point where they rarely leave their garrison-fortresses without one or two tank columns.
