Warlords - Central Europe

**The Warlords of Central Europe** or known by many of the people's of the Central and Eastern European Territories as just, **The Warlords** were multiple different states vying for power over the East. These states were either created by former units of armies or by bands of militias and citizens. Many of the states eventually fell into the state of human nature with many of the influential, rich or strong taking power and ruling their territories by fear or violence. For over 40 years, Eastern and Central Europe's people were always watched by another force, something higher than themselves, they were always monitored, never alone.

Many peoples throughout the territories of the warlords suffered, mainly Slavs, as tyrannical or foreign governments would carry out there rhetoric on the people inhabiting the lands. It is disputed how the warlords of Central Europe came to be, however, many have stated that it was more of a **natural occurrence** with people managing to take over the remnants of society.

## History - Formations

### Formation - 2022 - 2030

As previously stated above, the warlords of Europe have been mostly chocked up to be haven formed during the 20s as human society began to reorganize itself after the end of the nuclear exchange and Russian invasions. Many warlords began staking their territories across Central Europe, most notably in Poland, Slovakia, Czechia, and Ukraine. However, others also existed within the Germanic, Balkan and Russian lands. Originally, many societies formed around the invading armies, for example, the 11th Division of the German Army, a warlord state created by former German soldiers moving through Western Poland and the Republic of Poznan, the last remnants of the Polish Army in the West that eventually fell by the 2040s. Other states such as Lodz and Plock were also formed by puppets of the invaders.

Other states such as the von Danzigs formed after a family mob managed to take over the area of the Polish Baltic Ports leaving behind a kleptomaniac government and a state that publicly sold and used slaves. See, Polish Slave Revolt. Others such as the Pomeranian Coast also existed which were a lose collective band of raiders and criminals. Some states, most notably in Galicia also formed by a coalition of Army remnants, militiamen and citizens, creating Republican like micronations in their respective communities to defend against raiding tribes. Nations such as Republic of Lwow and Republic of Rzeszow. Some other notable examples exist such as cultural unions or collectives like Carpathia and Neu Preussen.

### Later Warlords - 2030s Onward

Later warlords from the 2030s began to resemble more organized governments, albeit, more tyrannical and systematic similar to the practices of Nazism or Bolshevism. The ideas that became more institutionalized which ramped up the fear, bloodshed and wars between the governments and petty states. By the 2050s, many warlords were either destroyed or forces into submission during the German Liberation Wars and Russian Republican Movement. By the 2060s, the only warlords remaining would be organized states such as the Peoples Republics of Belarus, Smolensk and the UPA. The last place to be rid of the warlords was Poland in 2065 as the last remaining petty states were forcefully taken during the times of the Polish Liberation Front.
