Armageddon Republic

The Armageddon Republic **[ARC] is a medium sized nation located in the western reaches of Izanami. Whilst technically a republic it is governed by a federation of companies that make up its industrial and military production complexes**

The Armageddon Republic shares no borders with other nations.

## History

The Armageddon Republic ties its existence back to the founding of the Armageddon Krieg Reich. a totalitarian regime with extreme prejudices to its neighbours and potential allies, as such it was wrought with conflict soon after its founding. and eventually lost, the ARC rose from the ashes of the Krieg Reich with new and just intentions, with the writing and declaration of the Constitution, the Krieg Reich was officially remade into a republic, with leader Valcry\_97 stripped of most of his power to remove the chance of a second Reich coming about and causing untold destruction. while now officially a republic the members of ARC still looked over to their neighbours with weary eyes, not forgetting the devastation brought upon them. As such the manpower of ARC was put to work, heavily militarizing its bases and outposts. should the enemies ever attack again. with the rise of the republic, companies were set up in order to make ARC's economy more manageable, alongside helping the leaders of the nation to better focus on what needed to be done. initially state owned corporations. they quickly gained their independence and spread out in ARC territory, leading to the establishment of many forts and outposts.

### **The alliance of FKS, LMD and ARC**

With world tensions at an all time high, ARC was officially outreached to by FKS to join a defensive pact alongside LMD, this was accepted by the nations leaders after the ever increasing hostilities with the nations eastern neighbour, the warriors of greed and their own alliance. Soon afterwards the nation of Lethal Mechanics Deep was declared war on by the warriors of greed, and in good faith ARC stepped up to the mantle, and enacted the defensive alliance dragging FKS into the war alongside ARC.

### **The battle of Osellus bay**

During the war a major turning point for ARC occurred just 10 hours after war was declared, a small flotilla of GRD warships and an attack squadron of planes entered ARC territory. ARC by this point was still woefully underprepared, with no navy and a handful of planes still in testing the battle was already dire, during the opening minutes of the battle the Red Arrow Corporations Headquarters on Northern Osellus, which was granted Fort status by the Commander-In-Chief of ARC, was opened up on by a GRD destroyer, already desperate ARC forces mobilised quickly, attacking the destroyer with missiles and strafing runs. all major attacks conducted were destroyed however, as the destroyer had high amounts of AA, this led to the air force of ARC been completely destroyed, and the RAC's HQ in an incredibly weak position. with the fort been destroyed one man, Hosnal\_out bravely stood out among the fold, and defended the fort with nothing but a welder and steel plates, the rest of ARC was in complete chaos by this point, scrambling to weaponize recon drones to respond to the fighters above the main base. However due to Hosnal's actions, the main base could never be attacked and as such ARC was saved because of Hosnal alone. however losses still occurred, with the naval port completely destroyed by the GRD destroyer which had since entered the bay alongside a GRD Corvette. by this point however recon drones armed with both bombs and Vulcans had arrived, hopelessly outclassed and dangerously slow, the pilots who flew high above to relieve both Hosnal and the naval port knew that death was all but certain. these actions still proved to be a success, and despite the massive amount of casualties, GRD and DVLA where forced out of ARC territory, allowing the drones to sink both the GRD corvette and Destroyer.

### **Reconstruction**

The war shortly ended after the battle of Osellus Bay, Valcry\_97 and Horizon, realizing the futility of the alliance struck with FKS and LMD, promptly withdrew and as part of the peace negotiations with GRD, joining the GCA, now allied with superior nations such as the Anadrene Empire and the Warriors of Greed. ARC could finally focus on rebuilding the nation. this was a lengthy process, requiring the complete rebuilding of the Naval Port and extensive repairs made to the Northern Osellus fort, for hours the nation stood weak, with no navy or airforce. if another war was to be declared it would mean certain death for the nation as a whole, major rivalries took place within the leadership of ARC, with members of the nation unhappy at Valcry\_97's inaction with helping with reconstruction efforts compared to Rxne and Horizon.

### **The Jichui Oil Incident**

while reconstruction efforts were ongoing ARC was offered warships by GRD, which were graciously accepted and soon brought into the fold of ARC's navy, these ships consisted of two corvettes, 1 frigate and an Aircraft Carrier. some time afterwards a new oil deposit was discovered just south of ARC territory, and while this relatively rare resource was of interest to all nearby nations, it was of particular nation concern to ARC, as it would allow them to rebuild their nation at an ever increasing rate. as such a civilian ship was dispatched to the island of Jishui with the intent of establishing an oil platform on the island, shortly afterwards it was intercepted and destroyed by LMD forces, ARC quickly responded, mobilising the little amount of ships it had within its possession to regain control of the area and push LMD back, it was soon discovered that GRD forces were also enroute to this location, and considering the Alliance both ARC and GRD held together, CIC Horizon and GRD Vagrant decided to meet up in their respective ships before heading to the battlefield together. the ARC. Pyre was heavily damaged during the ensuing battle, with ARC member FearTheStash constantly doing field repairs in order to save the ship from a watery grave, with reinforcements from newly built ARC ships and Fighters, alongside GRD and Anadrene fighters, the battle was decisively won by GCA.

### **A Brighter Future**

The world again is on the brink of global war, and ARC must be ready regardless of the dangers it faces, for only united can they stand against the tyranny of those opposed, together with its Allies. ARC members look forward to a bright and prosperous future, and away from the past that has wrought so much destruction.
