A New Era

## A New Millennium

The beginning of the 10th century saw the collapse and reformation of many of the world's most powerful nations.

## The Union of Commissariatic Socialist Republics

The nations of Arendeska and Snezhgovia were a mess post-collapse of the GAC. With no unity or national pride remaining in Arendeska, the nation continued to collapse. Statistically, Arendeska would have dissolved into tons of small microrepublics. But this was not the idea of the Snezgovians. "Arendeskantsi, Snezhgovtsi, bratya i syostri.", Arendeskans, Snezhgovians, Brothers and Sisters. Snezhgovia (at the time the SSPR, Snezgovian Socialist People's Republic), possessed the largest military and naval strength in Oreica at the time, and they put that strength to full use. In 1001, the SSPR invaded the True Arendeskan Republic. Instead of rebelling, the people cheered in the streets as Snezhgovian tanks rolled through the streets.

In a month after the invasion, Snezhgovia and Arendeska once again banded together, this time creating the UCSR, the Union of Commissariatic Socialist Republics. This new superstate, under the leadership of a certain Leonid Sobakin would continue to last until the modern day, and it's first act as the superior world military power, was to begin taking all the surrounding republics of Arendeska. Firstly, the region of Sechen, a separatist region that declared independence from Arendeska, was the primary target for the UCSR. The region was captured in a short two months, and the UCSR's borders were solidified.

## The Greater Brikanian Empire

Shortly after the consolidation of power within the Brikanian Holy Mandate, Konig Elias, by now around 70 or 80 years of age, was assasinated by Valeadean Intelligence, this resulted in the opposite of the intended effect, promting a massive surge in patriotism in Brikania. The following months were those of unification, and the eventuality was clear, the Brikanian Empire had returned, Greater. It absorbed it's surrounding sattelite states into itself, and completed it's militarization, who knows what it will do next?

## The United Peoples Republic of Valead

After the 4th World War, Snezhgovia, Brikania and Lugrinia realized that Jager Minorov, the leader of Valead, was infact a benevolent dictator, who brought upon his nation only war and suffering. The Foreign Minister of the UCSR, Sergei Guryanov managed to convince the United Nations to allow for a pacification operation of the FRV (the Federative Republic of Valead), which had now become a dictatorial authoritarian state.

A UN army of 20,000 Peacekeepers landed in the east of the island. Upon making a push forward, the peacekeepers witnessed extreme hunger and starvation. Soldiers and civilians alike surrendered to the UN just to receive food. The situation was tense, and the Valeadean Intelligence Service (Minorov's personal death squad) would continuously harass UN troops.

As a result, Brikania and the UCSR deployed their own special operations forces into the region, these were the IIB (Imperial Intelligence Bureau) and the CRK (Centralniy Rasvet-Kommittet, AKA Central Intelligence Committee). In a month or so, Jager Minorov was found and captured, along with several of his compatriots. He was taken to Brikania, where he was put on trial in the International Court, and beheaded by Konig Elias, with the Sword of Tartana.

Elias was killed shortly after this event occured, and so democracy had returned to the newly formed United People's Republic of Valead. However the UCSR had not had enough yet, and after this launched an invasion into Valead, declaring the northern separatist Lesovo region as a Socialist Republic. The fighting lasted for around two months, and ended with the UCSR declaring Lesovo an independent state, and pulling forces from the UPRV.

## United Kingdom of Lugrinia

A prominent power after it's foundation in the 700s. The UKL has existed previously as the United States of Lugrinia (USL), but presently stands as a growing constitutional monarchy. With an expanding economy and free market, the country has become both a military and monetary powerhouse. Lugrinia's developed fleet stands strong to defend it's territorial interests abroad, and it's ground and air forces play crucial roles in that goal.

In the new era, the UKL's role was mostly peacekeeping. Including the security of the collapsing Federative Republic of Valead, and also the trade agreement between Briven and itself. Trade with the UCSR has mostly subsided but has been rising for some time in the past few months.
