Nyirszalka Empire

Flag of the Empire

The **Nyírszalka Empire**, formerly the **United Military Governorate of Mátészalka-Nyírbátor-Nyíregyháza and Nagykároly**, is a far-right Ultranationalist military state located in the Hungary, with Nyíregyháza as its centre. It is a strong regional power and is an antagonist faction of The Dark Future: Dark Folktales, which is currently at war with the Hungarian Democratic Republic.

## History

The Nyírszalka Empire was formed by Hungarian Nationalists and Ultra-Christians, who were part of the Fourth Hungarian Republic Governorate, founded in Debrecen after World War 3 and the nuclear burning of the world. After the fall of the Gara Block, the radical right-wing of the block left the parliament and migrated to the Nyirség, where they established their strong regional power against other factions and founded the United Military Governorate.

### 2062-2065

The Military Governorate has two large centres, one in Nyíregyháza and the other in Mátészalka. There were fierce rivalries and then bloody wars for control of the Nyírség, with the Governorate fighting several smaller factions, but they successfully quelled these rebellions, then drove them out and eventually took the whole region.

Meanwhile, internal conflicts arose, a bloody civil war broke out between the two united major factions (Nyíregyháza and Nyírbátor), but Nyíregyháza defeated Nyírbátor in 2065 with their recruited Ukrainian refugees and their well-equipped army. Eventually, Mátészalka gave up the fight and accepted unification, and eventually the leaders of the United Military Governorate created their one big state and proclaimed the Empire of Nyírszalka. The Empire then wedged itself between the democratising Satmar Union and the internal chaos of Debrecen. They began to expand, breaking through the Trianon borders with their armed forces and annexing nearby towns, including the poorly defended city of Nagykároly.

### Currently

The main goal of the Nyírszalka Empire is to capture Debrecen and annex it to the Empire, as there are plenty of resources, weapons and people who can be recruited to their army to support the Empire. However, their plan to take the capital is halted by the 2 front war, as they have begun to be attacked from the north by the Communist forces of Vásárosnamény, with whom the Empire has been at war ever since.

They have allied themselves with the state-backed western-ukrainian Svoboda Movement faction of the Ukrainian Reich, which has allowed them to steadily increase their military numbers with Ukrainian forces and create an autonomous puppet state, the Feltisza Cossack Order.

## Structure

The economy of the Nyírszalka Empire is highly corporatised, there are no trade unions or workers' associations, but all workers are assigned to the producer bodies, which are centrally controlled. As a result, businesses have grown rapidly and the economy has boomed. Despite this, the lower classes live in poverty and poor living conditions, and despite economic progress, there has been only minimal improvement.

### Economy

Their main source of income is agricultural production, and they are also at the forefront of the Transylvanian salt trade in Nagykároly.

### Ideology & Religion

The Empire is a strongly Nationalist Ultra-Christian faction that promotes the unity of the Hungarian nation, but they are not chauvinists, as they are able to form alliances with other nations that similar ideologies. It also promotes Christianity, and attempts to create and spread the "United Church" by bringing together different Christian denominations (Catholic, Reformed, Greek Catholic, Orthodox). Those who do not conform to the Nation and Christian society, and those who do not agree with the ideals of the Empire, are strongly discriminated against.

### Military

The Empire has a large, well-equipped army, almost the best in the region. The army is composed mainly of the most elite infantry and highly trained cavalry, supplemented by the Cossacks of Feltisa and Romanian auxiliaries. They also have a heavy weapons arsenal, which is very poor. They have dismantled their pre-war tanks to obtain a fuel source, but in 2069 they began secret experiments to create a light armoured vehicle, the "Steel Grasshopper", powered by biodiesel refined from sunflower oil.
