The **Chemgotan War of Independence** (Romanised Russian: Chemgotanskaya voyna za nezavisimost) also known as the **Chemgotan War** (Romanised Russian: Chemgotanskaya voyna) sometimes referred in the West as the **Siberian War** (Romanised Russian: Sibirskaya voyna) was an armed conflict that lasted from 12th of August 2027 to September 16th 2036 when the breakaway Provisonal Congress of Chemgota declared its independence and eventually separating as an independent unrecognised Republic from the Russian Federation. It was considered an important event for Asia in the 21st century as it shifted the balance of power on a large scale in favour of the Western Powers. A complex conflict at that, the Chemgotan War of Independence was primarily fought with Infantry and utilised Irregular defensive tactics such as Guerrilla Warfare and offensive tactics such as Human Wave Attacks and Swarm Warfare which were alienated in use in previous modern conflicts, only during the Iran-Iraq War. Due to the regional weather and terrain problems, the Russian military was largely hindered by their efforts to recapture the breakaway territories in the Dalstroy, thus benefitting the Chemgotan defensive advantage, serving as a barrier for progression, ultimately the war was in favour for the Chemgotan side as it was considered a defensive war against Russian aggression, imperialism and assimilation.

The reason why the Chemgotan War of Independence ultimately started was because of the lack of development and employment in the region with depopulation being frequent whilst leaving the region economically isolated from the rest of Russia, as Russia's centralised system of governance didn't focus on places like Siberia at the time, Magadan and other states comprising of Chemgota were also starved of there resources by state enterprises, however that changed with Igor Elmpt and his Democratic Party promising reforms towards Illiteracy, Healthcare, Workforce, Privatisation, reformation of the Socio-economic and Socio-political system in the Far East and most importantly. Development of Infrastructure, Urbanisation and Industrialisation to make the region progressive without Moscow's direct influence. However these ideas were scrapped by the Russian government and deemed the Democratic Party an unauthorised Terrorist organisation which influences the people of the Far East to hold hateful anti-Russian sentiment. Igor Elmpt criticised Putin and Russia as a whole in his writings and speeches, which he exploited to gain more popular support within the region, eventually leading up to hostilities between Separatists and Loyalists civilians in the region which lead to Russian authorities committing the infamous Magadan Massacre of supporters of the Democratic Party in turn attacked the local police station and staging a mass shooting of the station, killing most police officers. This was the final blow to any chance of stability being restored in Magadan, Igor Elmpt had gathered most popular support in the entire Oblast and he gathered his loyal supporters to launch a coup on the Magadan Duma which ultimately he and his party took control of and officially declared Chemgotan Independence and the formation of the Republic of Chemgota, global media heard of this and it made international headlines throughout the world, notifying the people of Russia and in particular the Far East who sought it as a chance to rally under the Chemgotan banner for a completely new and promising Republic to fight for, however some weren't so fond of both Chemgota or Russia and formed there own minor factions during the Chemgotan War of Independence which were crushed by both Chemgotan and Russian forces alike during the war.

The war grew a notorious reputation for the tactics and strategies employed throughout the duration of the ten year conflict. The war was considered to be a total war conflict in which public infrastructure and civilian facilities were generally considered indifferent than legitimate military targets, thus causing a large civilian death toll to mount as the war continued the use of unregulated warfare on both sides respectively. Despite the Russian military's superior strength against the Chemgotan rebels, the Russian military lacked maintaining an effective rapid retaliation force situated in the Far East and many of their reserves and active personnel were basic conscripts which were poorly equipped, organised and trained, the Russian forces suffered from a large amount of supply and logistical problems as Chemgotan collaborators not apart of the official Chemgotan Defence Force known as Chemgotan Militia and Partisans branched off and were highly decentralised to the mainstream Chemgotan military as they began to rise up on pockets in Russian controlled portions of Chemgota, proving rather difficult for the Russian military to contend with as their forces were outstretched fighting across the vast amount of space which was claimed by the rebel forces. The acts of the Chemgotan Militia and Partisan groups ultimately were fruitful towards the main war effort against the Russian military as the Russians continued to suffer decisive and strategic blowbacks hindering their military's strength and power, despite this the Chemgotan forces continued to sustain sizable losses and casualties whilst fighting against the superior Russian military, but nevertheless, the Chemgotan forces continued to persist against their Russian adversaries which then influenced a large wave of mutinies and defections from the Russian military causing the Russian communications and chain of command to become rendered as inefficient and incapable of launching more mass offensives against the Chemgotans as countless Russian attempts were consistently repelled in different sectors on the main fronts.

The Chemgotan War also diverged to less noticeable factors such as countless breakaway and warlord groups splintering, mostly from the Russian military and formed their own organised groups and organisations which fought and resisted against both the Chemgotan and Russian militaries respectively, with some of the splinter groups collaborating with both main factions of the war to benefit their own needs and aims, these ambitions from these splinter factions however were largely pursued, curbed and dismantled by the largely superior Chemgotan and Russian militaries. As the main war continued between the Russian and Chemgotan forces, many pitched battles began, some organised battles were fought from the early stages of the war with particular battles quickly diverging to attrition-based engagements between the two belligerent states which amounted to a large loss of life and equipment for both sides, the majority of pitched conventional battles were fought over contested settlements of importance such as Yakutsk, Anadyr, Kamchatsky, Chumikan and the Chemgotan capital city of Magadan which was the first initial battle which kick-started the conflict at large. With many Chemgotan successes against the Russian forces occurring throughout the northeastern Far East, many protests, riots and uprisings were commenced throughout Russia as a whole in popular response to the violence occurring in the Far East, many Russian peoples protested against the continuation of the war and immediately had their voices repressed by the Russian government to quell any dissident voices, as such more anti-government stances were undertaken against the Russian government and especially directed towards the United Russia Party which was the ruling governing party of Russia at the time of the conflict. The repression of political movements and social groups led to a large reactionary and revolutionary growth to spiral out of control throughout Russia, leading to many Russian Republics beginning to revolt and rise up throughout Russia, although the majority of these movements were repressed by the Russians successfully being detained, the conflict in the Far East continued to escalate further and Chemgotan forces proceeded to repel and push out the Russian military presence from Yakutia and Khabarovsk but were stopped as Russian defences tightened on the west and south of both states.

With the war entering a dreadlock during its final stages the Chemgotans and the Russians weren't unable to push back or many any significant breakthroughs against each other as the conflict continued to devolve, as such by 2036, the Chemgotan and Russian forces fought fiercely in some engagements, with the Chemgotan forces attempting to assault into territories past the designated boundaries established by the Provisional Congress, ultimately by 2036 the war clearly victorious by the Chemgotan rebel forces as the Chemgotans have secured their territorial gains and have repelled several Russian counterattacks and have humiliated their military immensely in which the Russian military had to rely on Cold War stockpiles to maintain their military upkeep and strength, as such, a Chemgotan delegation requested to meet with the Russian government under the guise of the British and United States governments which sent over their own political envoys to Magadan in order to mediate the deals of the peace treaties for fairness and security within the region following the end of the war, the cessations of hostilities ended shortly before the Treaty of Magadan was signed as a ceasefire was announced by both parties during the final stages of the conflict to prevent any further damages and casualties to be needlessly sustained considering that the Chemgotans have accomplished their ambitions and the Russians lost a significant portion of their territorial control in the Far East, including a large portion of their natural resource deposits. At first, the Russian response to enter negotiations with the Chemgotans were reluctant and strongly against holding talks initially until after growing internal and external problems facing Russia, decided to agree to terms and discussions on the war, the Russians sent a diplomatic envoy to Magadan in which they negotiated on the terms of the Treaty of Magadan in order to end the ten year devastating conflict which ravaged the Far East and had millions of lives scarred by the fighting. After lengthy negotiations in regards of the terms, the Russians were pressured to unconditionally sign the treaty and agree to the terms of the Treaty of Magadan, thus ending the war and maintaining Chemgotan independence as legitimate, after the war's end, the Chemgotans began to rebuild and reformed their Provisional Congress into the foundation of the Republic of Chemgota. The end of the war was largely celebrated in Chemgota and across the world as the devastating destructive conflict was ended in Chemgotan independence and victory over the repressive Russian government.

## Background

The Chemgotan War of Independence's origins are clear, however the originality of the war is traced back during the Colonial Period of the Russian Far East when different tribes such as the Yakuts and Chukchi weren't fond of the Slavic conquerors taking there traditional territory and pillaging there villages which the natives reacted by raiding the colonist settlements and major pathways throughout the region. Eventually the Imperial Russian Army was sent to the East to quell these native uprisings which was successful, however the spirit of resistance was not broken even towards the prelude to the Chemgotan War of Independence. Other reasons state that the background to the Chemgotan War of Independence was that regional nationalism in the region and the identity of the Chemgotan people traces back to the time of the Soviet Union when the Dalstroy company was established to construct mines and labour camps, most local tribals and prisoners banded together when they had the opportunity to strike at the Soviet garrisons which created an infamous anti-Russian sentiment and anti-Communist sentiment in the region throughout the reign of the Soviet Union, particularly under Joseph Stalin. With the eventual collapse and dissolution of the Soviet Union, things for the region went from worse, to terrible. This resulted in a large popularity in the region petitioning for self representation, self rule and to have their own nationstate, for many years people within the Far East were uncertain of their future and unsure what nation they would call themselves. Unionist preferred the Far Eastern Republic, a simple name with a simple goal. However others such as the native population of the region preferred their own native self proclaimed nations within the Far East, such as an independent Yakutia to depose the loyalist government located within all Yakutia at the time, but all these ambitions weren't possible due to the fact that the Russian Military presence within the Far East caused fear for any revolt or hope to separate from the Federation, this led to some coming to the conclusion that there was no way independence could be achieved and that many of the residents in the Far East decided to join the ranks of the Russian military, as nothing else could be done. Years later in the 2010s, a new hope was brewing and was in the making, a grand plan created by Igor Elmpt the founder of the Democratic Party of the Far East, Igor Elmpt went out of his way to begin the creation and eventual formation of a Far Eastern Republic, but this Far Eastern Republic was not as many imagined or interpreted it to be. This Far Eastern self reliance and regionalism grew as Igor Elmpt formatted the creation for the Democratic Party and he participated in countless rallies and protests against Russian exploitation and rule in the Far East, gaining him a large amount of popularity in only a few years time. This led to problems worsening as the Russian government began a campaign to suppress the region and eradicate any idealism for independence or self governance, the perfect time for Igor Elmpt to strike, he condemned the acts of the Russian government and with this he declared that if Russia does not loosen it's noose over the Far East, it would be cut by the people themselves, this caused a widespread reactionary movement to begin and most of Igor's supporters joined the ranks of the Democratic Party and with violence spreading rapidly across the region, the Putinist regime ordered that all these protesters were to be silenced for good, this resulted in several acts of mass genocide of suspected and aligned members of the Democratic Party and countless civilians, the final straw came with the Magadan Massacre, causing the proclamation of the Provisional Congress of Chemgota and ultimately Chemgotan independence as a whole.

### **Overlooked Problems**

As the Dissolution of the Soviet Union took place, immediately problems started to arise with the local economy of the region as the Russian government began liquidation of workplaces and workspace deemed unfit towards the Russian economy which wasn't exactly the case, with other problems such as minimal Infrastructure and local employment and modernisation, depopulation began to increase throughout the decades, because of these problems calls for swift and simple reforms began to arise for Moscow to aid the development of the Far East but the Russian Federation ignored these calls for reform as they focused on other political subjects, soon afterwards with the lack of goods and services, starvation hit the area heavily and the region had to resort towards hunting and fishing as its main source of consumption of goods, meaning that private investors saw no interest within the region, nor did the Russian government. With these let downs and ideological radically arising across Russia, calls for an independent Republic was common until 2027 even before the return of Igor Elmpt and the formation of the Democratic Party. It was because of the formation of the Democratic Party that the revolution truly began, after attempting to require and affirm it's position in Far Eastern dumas such as Magadan's Duma in particular. Despite having popular support from the people, the Democratic Party was deemed null and outlawed from entry into regional elections for being considered a nationalistic organisation and a threat to regional and national security of the Russian Federation, as a result most local voters and the population was outraged with the news and decided that another approach shall begin, protests soon ensued and large rallies staged by Igor Elmpt and his close colleagues and collaborators, with Igor Elmpt delivering his famous speeches and broadcasting them throughout the Far East by use of public media outlets, riots began to rise and more of the population became disobedient to Russian rule and regulations and as a result, much of the local Police defected to the protesters side and gave them access to weapons, however one particular event exploded tensions between Russia and the Far Easterners, being considered the final straw for peace and stability in the Far East, the infamous Magadan Massacre was instigated by Russian loyalists and the Russian Police who remained loyal to Putinist rule. With the massacre being carried out in front of the eyes of the public and being recorded and posted online on the internet, the protesters retaliated by using lethal weaponry and seized firearms to counter attack and kill and capture Russian loyalists in a reactionary matter. These reactionaries soon became the founding pillars of the Chemgotan Defence Force (CDF)

### **Ethnic Tension**

Another factor what fuelled instability in Chemgota was that different Ethnicities mingled together and were treated poorly by the Russian government, failing to receive proper investments to help develop and that Russia did not support tribal families in need and attempted to assimilate and incorporate them into Slavic Russian culture, the assimilation of the tribal populations has been a reoccurring factor ever since the Russian Empire colonised the Far East**,** however with pleads of assistance from Moscow and to stop the assimilation programs from carrying on, the Russian government simply ignored this and proceed to prosecute locals and take their indigenous homes and land and granting the former land to state owned companies for carrying out mineral extraction operations, and vice versa. With the dissatisfaction from the indigenous Siberian peoples, many had decided to establish their own breakaway separatist states free from Moscow's unfair hand, although attempts had been made in the past such as a free Yakutia, Chukotka and the Tungus Republic, all attempts failed in the centuries proceeding the formation of Chemgota. When Igor Elmpt and his Democratic Party announced Chemgotan declaration of Independence most of the native population in the region regarding the revolution proper joined together with Slavic and urban supporters for calls of freedom from the Russian Federation, as a result many specialised units comprised of natives retrospectively were formed during the onset of the Chemgotan War of Independence and most native ethnic groups, in particular such as the Yakuts and Chukchi had volunteered and gave large amount of support and manpower for the war effort against Russia, as President Igor Elmpt promised reformation towards the ethnic problems facing the region and that native rights would be regarded and ratified in the Chemgotan constitution as a result of their assistance.

### **Slavic Perspective**

The Slavic perspective of the Chemgotan War of Independence was mixed between different factors and personal aspects on the outlook of the conflict, some Slavs in the region preferred that the Russian rule will remain and that they were staunch Russian compatriots, these particular individuals banded together to form the counter-revolutionary movements such as the Russian Loyalists which were the most prominent faction. But most of the Slavic population were more leaning towards the Chemgotan side politically as they were being prosecuted by Russian forces as a result and being stripped from their rights and citizenship as being suspected traitors towards the Russian Federation, this encouraged the Slavic population of the region to shift the balance in the favour of the rebellion, not to mention that Igor Elmpt was also a revolutionary but he was also of Slavic heritage, this as a result led to more public dissent and outcry towards the Russian forces as locals under Russian control treated the Russian forces horribly and frequently ambushed them with local Partisan units in the towns and cities alike. After all the Slavic perspective of the war was mainly in favour of Chemgota with few instances of siding with Russia, eventually all those who did side with Russia in the war were eventually trailed for war crimes and crimes against humanity after the Treaty of Magadan as they sympathised with the Russian forces which committed horrendous atrocities in the conflict, one of the reasons why the general populous in the Far East sided with Igor Elmpt and his Democratic Party. If the Russian government choose a policy of support towards the Slavic population of Chemgota the war would have been much different than what occurred previously, with Igor Elmpt eventually securing socio-political and economic control over Chemgota the Slavic population rallied behind the cause and eventually when Chemgota became a nation state after the war ended, many Slavs decided to consider themselves Chemgotan rather than the former, devastating Russian influence over the population in the region alongside loosing popular support and political control throughout Russia as the shift of balance was massive on a geopolitical and social scale for the recovering Russian Federation. Many of the Slavic population fought for Chemgotan independence and thus the Russian government's plans to recuperate from there losses and to fragment the revolution in Magadan was null and ultimately was defeated after being pushed back passed the Lena River, sealing the wars fate and coming to a close in Chemgotan victory with the sighing and ratification of the Treaty of Magadan, the war and Chemgota also forged a proper and improved bond between the Native and Slavic populous as together they rebuild and commended a nation of there own and to bond in friendship.

### **Foundation of the Chemgotan state**

On August 12th, years of Socio-political and Economic problems and with the Magadan Massacre taking place a month earlier, the Chemgotan Declaration of Independence was ratified and declared by Igor Elmpt across the world and most importantly the region itself, he stated in his famous speech that Chemgota will be a free and united nation against Russian aggression and to band together in a Confederation to combat the Russian Federation's forces, this led to the foundation of the Provisional Congress of Chemgota with the Declaration of Independence being made, originally a formal alliance to unite all Separatist movements within the Far East under a common banner, now reformed into a self declared Provisional Government headed by Igor Elmpt and his Democratic Party. With the founding document being signed by Igor Elmpt and key separatist leaders with the formation of the Confederation, as the tension quickly escalated to a troubling matter, Moscow attempted to calm the situation down by stabilising the region and reassuring the people of Chemgota that there was no concerns to be worried about, a curfew was put in place and more tightening of regulations and the Law also occurred. However there was nothing the Russian government could do as many patriots and nationalist now rallied behind Igor Elmpt and his Confederated organisation to defeat Russia and to push them out of the sphere of influence within the Far East and to proclaim victory over Russia by achieving total independence and to usher in a new age of progression and liberty for the Far East. However that is not saying that some local politicians and the people of Magadan and the nearby states weren't too fond of Igor's motives, many wished that the Far East would remain apart of Russia and they were hopeful that Russia would come and help assist them further to see the problem through, as many people were also anti-war and did not want a conflict to arise between the same people and race, for the most part that is. Many within the newly established Provisional Congress voiced their opinion on the conflict and believed that peaceful ways could be achieved to resolve the ongoing war, but if that was the case, Russia would most likely decline any peace treaty and let Chemgota become an independent sovereign state to humiliate their reputation. Theoretically, if this was possible and Russia did let Chemgota leave the Russian Federation, this would be a major turn point in Igor Elmpt's ordeals and his plan would be radically changed, there for, making Chemgota ultimately unappeasable for the long run.

## Initial Engagements

With the conflict now brewing and that the events of the Magadan Riots led to Massacres and several Democratic Party supporters being killed and wounded, the conflict now officially began when Chemgotan Independence was agreed on bilaterally and announced by the acting President and Founding Father of both the Democratic Party and the Provisional Congress, Igor Elmpt. The Provisional Congress was officially formed and acted as the nation's first legislative body for the politics of the revolution, with the condemnations of the Russian state being formatted and announced for the unjust events at Magadan and frequent repressive policing, Fortunately enough, the Russian Police began to become demoralised by repressive and killing innocence for the Putinist regime, this caused the Police to defect to the side of the Revolutionaries and soon enough after these news were received with more joining the side of the Rebels and rising popularity for Igor Elmpt's reforms. The Russian Armed Forces close enough were dispatched, deploying the closest Reservist divisions to put down this uprising, however the majority of the Russian garrisons and regional/local reserves were consisted of native troops which were disloyal as Igor Empt proved Russian rule does not favour them as much as the Slavic population in the region as well, causing them to mutiny and take up arms against their commanding officers in favour of the Chemgotan revolution. As this escalated, Russian units from Vladivostok and the rest of Siberia arrived to attack the Chemgotan forces, this caused the first shots to be fired and the subsequent Battle of Magadan to commence, the first battle in the war. The Chemgotan flag was also raised high over the Magadan Duma building signalising that Chemgota was indeed in a state of war and the people of Magadan and the Militia would steer away the Russian forces with force, this occurred and the Russian forces bought Artillery and minimal Air support to bombard Magadan, particularly the Duma building which was heavily fortified. But the defenders did not surrender as they entrenched heavily, soon when the Russian Infantry was sent into the city, they met heavy resistance from the Chemgotan forces and forced them to retreat outwards after suffering large casualties, the Russians needed reinforcements but, however due to the size, terrain and weather of the area, logistical and infrastructure favoured poorly for them, soon enough a breakout assault was launched by the Chemgotan forces out of the city, the Militia and Partisans successfully capturing many demoralised Russian soldiers and pushing their divisions away from the city and seized their equipment. Soon the Chemgotan forces began to attack further outwards and obtained more territorial gains and control, liberating the many settlements outside of Magadan, soon the Chemgotan forces met the Russians at the Battle of Susuman and Battle of Seymchan. But as Russian reinforcements finally arrived to relief the battered original Russian forces, they were frequently ambushed along the Kolyma Highway which was nicknamed 'Hell's Kitchen' due to how unsafe it was to drive vehicles across it as the rebel forces had set up traps and fortified sections of the highway heavily and the constant ambush by Militia and Partisan forces from the sideline Taiga. This caused plenty of problems for the Russian forces, so they began to focus on airlifting their forces to the front, this miserably failed as some attitudes the Helicopters could not lift high enough to go through mountain ranges, stalling, it was also a problem as the Chemgotan forces had some anti-aircraft capabilities to shoot down helicopters which were often slow, using rockets and heavy machine guns to surprise them by using the dense taiga below to avoid detection from the Russian Air Force. On the ground, the Russians eventually came from Okhotsk and began to besiege Magadan once again, the same strategy to retake Magadan lasted for another year, as the Russian forces could not break the spirit of the Chemgotans and eventually defeated them in a flanking counter assault, the Russians knew that Magadan was lost and the Battle of Magadan ending in Chemgotan pyrrhic victory, this led to the Russian forces being humiliated not being able to fend off such small attacks, further bolstering popular support for the Chemgotan side of the conflict.

### **International Reaction**

Throughout the world many nations looked on the Chemgotan situation as irrelevant, believing that Russia could handle the situation, but as the war digressed and accelerated quickly into a total war, the nations and intergovernmental organisations of the world began to voice their opinion on the conflict, many nations seemingly sided with Igor Elmpt and Chemgota against Russia, most respected of this was the United States and United Kingdom, two major powers and players of 21st century politics which sought to weaken Russia's influence and internal stability for their own gain and to have an upper hand in the renown "Second Cold War." But not all nations supported Chemgotan independence either, some nations such as the People's Republic of China supported Russia's military efforts and dedication against the Chemgotan threat, so much so that many volunteers and military equipment, vehicles and advisors were sent to help out the Russian military, as a countermeasure to this, the United States and United Kingdom with it's Commonwealth did the same. The majority of the United Nations and NATO supported Chemgotan independence as well, that being France, Spain, Italy, Australia, Japan and many other nations, Most nations across the world were mutual with the war, not wishing to be involved with it, as the majority of the world's chose so. With the escalation of war continuing for many years and more large scale casualties arising for both parties of the war, several UN resolutions were fabricated and drafted to the United Nations Security Council, but most of the time, Russia refused to have a treaty with the Provisional Congress, seeing them as illegitimate to be involved in foreign affairs backed up with China and other Russian aligned nations, but South Africa, India and Brazil decided not to do anything resolving around the war despite being in an alliance with both China and Russia. With more atrocities being committed during the war mostly by the Russian forces with their ruthless retaking of region, much international aid and support came to Chemgota, even more so that a good portion of Chemgotan forces were foreigners who volunteered to fight for Chemgotan secession from Russia and independence from the authoritarian state. Another rather daunting and surprising fundamental is that within Russia, anti-Putinists and opposition parties which opposed the United Russia Party agreed with Chemgotan independence as it would ruin Putin's reputation and ability to rule as the leader of Russia, taking him for the blame for the failure of the conflict and to stop his iron fist authoritarian rule which would help root out corruption in the nation, although those ambitions appeared distant. Eventually after the war ended in Russian defeat, a vote of no confidence was supported by the opposition party in Russia to oust Putin as President, but this would fail and would worsen the situation in Russian politics further, shaping Russia to become a full on dictatorship instead of an oligarchic state.

## Early Campaigns

From the early stages of the war, the Early Campaigns were a period where Chemgotan forces fought throughout the Far East, mostly the Eastern Front of the war where the Chemgotan forces were mostly successful with capturing settlements uncontested as Russian control, administration and military presence in the Far East was still at a all time low as many Reserves were hastily deployed and were unprepared to face staunch resistance from the Chemgotan forces, as a result of Russian incompetence in Chemgota, the Russian forces lost many of their Divisions either being captured or being annihilated by the Chemgotan forces, some of the Russian units couldn't make it to the main front to confront the Chemgotan Defence Force, as many Partisans and Militia took up arms for the Chemgotan side to slow and delay the Russian advance by severing communications and logistics, helping the Chemgotan forces buy time to launch a series of Campaigns in the coming years after the Battle of Magadan concluded with Chemgotan victory. The initial battles outside of Magadan took place in the Federal capitals of Chukotka and Kamchatka, the Battles of Anadyr and Kamchatsky. These battles ended in Chemgotan victories as well, due to the fact that the Russian forces couldn't have responded to such and were vastly overstretched, demoralised and disorganised. This led to a large influx of Prisoners of War from the Russian side, many defecting to Chemgota as they have given up hope attempting to fight for Russia as the war impacted many of the conscript's minds and were delusional about believing the Russian side was progressing well against the rebel forces. This caused large mutinies from the Russian military, which several commanding Officers were killed by their own men for various reasons. However not everything was in favour for the Chemgotan side, as the Russian Air Force carried out several bombing operations against the Chemgotan forces which in turn slowed down their progression forth against the Russian front along with targeting and taking out vital Chemgotan military infrastructure, however luckily enough the Chemgotans obtained anti-air weaponry from the United States and United Kingdom, after they announced their support and dedication to the Chemgotan side of the conflict after the relations between Russia and the West deteriorated further through the means of Proxy Wars, Chemgota ironically becoming one of said Proxy Wars despite having no relation with the West beforehand, Chemgota received a large surplus of Military support from the Western Powers the majority of the Equipment and Vehicles used by the Chemgotan forces were from the Cold War with some exceptions. The Cold War designs influenced the Chemgotan Defence Force's uniforms and design ultimately despite having the availability of Modern military technology, now with receiving more international support and foreign aid, the Chemgotan Defence Force was ready to continue the Early Campaigns even further, this increased the speed of the Campaign largely in favour of the Chemgotan forces which also knew how to navigate through such complex terrain and weather unlike their Russian combatants. This led to the Russian Navy instigating a Naval Blockade on Chemgota's main ports and trade routes, they continued to do so but met resistance from the newly founded Chemgotan Naval Force, causing the significantly crucial battle of the Sea of Okhotsk. After several naval engagements between the Russian and Chemgotan Navies, the Chemgotans ultimately were the victors as the Naval Force cautiously picked larger and more important targets than taking out the majority of the Russian Pacific Fleet, the main ships were eliminated by Chemgotan PT and torpedo vessels, with the aid with Destroyers and Frigates and the Air Force, this caused major disruptions with their blockade and confusion among the chain of command, ultimately leading to the Russian Pacific Fleet to retreat to Vladivostok for repairs and to be reorganised, but the majority of the fleet with a struck of luck and with the surprise element for the Chemgotan side to swiftly eliminate the cautiously planned out targets. After the sea battle was won by the Chemgotan forces and that several more attacks against the Chemgotan forces ended in disaster, the Vladimir Putin delivered a fiery speech in Moscow declaring total war against the Chemgotan rebels, in response to this, Igor Elmpt did the same declaring that: "If Russia wants a war, we'll give them a war. And we will make them not recover from it." Soon afterwards, large scale confrontations between the Chemgotan and Russian forces continued and more Russian reinforcements was being pulled in from European Russia, having a long stretch to go before arriving to the front, if they could that is due to the landscape, climate and constant partisan and militia attacks and ambushes launched on them to catch them by surprise. Although total war was declared, the Chemgotan forces continued to use their asymmetric warfare doctrine against the Russians when facing overwhelming odds. The war itself only in it's early phase suffered heavy casualties on both sides, this only worsened as the years progressed.

## Total War

When Total War was declared by the Russian Government on the Provisional Congress and vice versa, the war quickly changed and accelerated in the use of different tactics and strategies employed by both sides of the conflict, the Russian Army aimed for a mass assault to attack the Chemgotan forces with whilst the Chemgotan strategy and doctrine was to keep the same traditional irregular and symmetrical warfare tactics and strategies. In some instances, the Chemgotan forces used different tactics depending on the battles such as standard assaults and charges. The Chemgotans still had the advantage of surprise, terrain and weather on their behalf whilst the Russian forces struggled to position and place it's large Army in strategically important locations, the Russian logistics were also overstretched and were easily taken advantage of by Chemgotan Partisan and Militia forces ambushing the main roads to supply the Russian units at the front. As a result of this, the war diverged from skirmished based warfare to total warfare, using elements such as Trench Warfare, Attrition Warfare, Charges, Shock Attacks and more complex and deadly strategies which cost the life's of thousands of soldiers, the war at this point was no more a war for political gain, but a war of total annihilation and human spirit, the Russian forces suffered the blunt of casualties and losses as a result of their harsh and reckless tactics used by incompetent Generals and Commanders of the Russian military, the Chemgotan forces also received more foreign support from the West, fundamentally resembling Cold War America in design and command. As a result the Chemgotan forces with the reformation of the Defence Force carried out a series of frontal assaults and defensive counter attacks against the Russian aggressors, as this was mainly going on the ground, the Air and Sea was no different, with the Chemgotan Air Force frequently and consistently attacking the Russian Air Force, the Chemgotan Naval Force assaulting and raiding the Russian Navy and so on, the war was considered a slaughterhouse compared to other conflicts of the 21st century. Cold-weather Warfare was also employed by the Chemgotan forces and Mountain Warfare which proved heavily effective towards dislodging the Russian advances and assaults, successfully deterring their attacks and defending territorial boundaries for the Chemgotan forces to execute a counter-offensive against the weakened Russian forces. The tactics used by Chemgotan forces was to envelop small pockets of Russian detachments within dense Taiga or in Mountainous terrain, severing their communication and reinforcements supplement to their forces and closing into their positions before they were able to organise their defence or a breakout attack, this lead to several Russian army groups being in a difficult proposition to carry out further attacks.

Total War also bought large scale 'revivals' of traditional warfare tactics and weaponry, chemical weapons were used by both Chemgotan and Russian forces in some key battles in the conflict, weapons such as flame-throwers, cluster munitions, ballistic missiles and other previously banned and outlawed weapons were lifted and frequently used in the war for many different purposes. The Russian High Command also bought up an idea to nuke the Chemgotan cities to force the Rebels into submission, but this was called of as nuking the Russian Far East would see even more difficulty to pre-existing development schemes if the war was to end in Russian favour, this also was discarded for the Economic and resource capabilities and importance the Far East held for Russian influence and legitimacy, if nukes were used, stability in Russia would've decreased largely. Total War also saw a large scale displacement with the populations of the Dalstroy Region in particular, with many Russian Loyalists being expelled or killed by Chemgotan forces, however, during the war, War crimes and atrocities were mainly committed by the Russian Armed Forces as apart of their no quarter and total war enactments bought forth to the Generals and Commanders leading specific Divisions and Units. As a result of this more civilians began to side with the Chemgotan forces and enlisted for vengeance, the fear and terror factor worked successfully in recruiting more soldiers for the CDF and to work as Partisan and Militia units as well.

### **Stalemate & Toll**

With total war being previously enacted by both forces in the conflict a stalemate settled around sometime in late 2029, both sides of the war were suffering huge losses and the toll inflicted large impacts towards supplies and manpower, both the Chemgotan and Russian forces decided to entrench themselves for the most part of the conflict which accumulated with a large amount of losses of personnel, the Chemgotan forces for the most part used the stalemate to their tactical and strategic advantage as the Russian forces were beginning to bleed dry on equipment and reinforcement rates as the ratio soon declined when the stalemate settled in, with this the Chemgotan forces attempted several offensives against the Russian forces but just like the Chemgotans they too had elastic defensive fortifications which caused large irreplaceable casualties suffered by the Chemgotan forces, as a result of recent failures, Igor Elmpt with fellow commanders of the conflict attempted to breakthrough the stalemate by targeting key strategic and tactical areas of control along with the Russian forces striking in assaults but to counter attack at the same time which caused disorganisation and confusion within the Russian chain of command with their strategy to retake lost ground, unlike the Chemgotan forces the Russians had numerical superiority which was mostly foiled by Chemgotan forces originally using guerrilla warfare against them, but now their numerical advantages served greatly with fending of Chemgotan attacks, but soon this was realised by Chemgotan commanders such as Utosov Andrei which implemented and organised shock assaults against the Russian flanks and weakened opening points resulting in several successful breakthroughs, the Chemgotan forces also received graceful support from the West and now used armoured units to spearhead against enemy fortifications and hostile territory which the Russian forces miscalculated and were unprepared for believing the Chemgotans did not have any localised armoured units, another factor was the use of light infantry and cavalry which help aid with reconnaissance and observation of the Russian order of battle and organisation resulting with many Russian forces being swept away with barrages and thrusts from the Chemgotan forces on the ground and within the air. The frontline became reminiscent of that of the Iran-Iraq War.

With the stalemate starting to crumble as the Chemgotan forces enacted well planned assaults and attacks against the Russian front. Another front opened in the north as the presence of Russian forces were limited and far more restrictive than in the major fronts in the mid and southern parts of the war, a northern campaign was launched by the Chemgotan forces which resulted with the previous Russian defences ultimately breaking apart and the plans for the Russian defence and counteroffensive was disrupted at several bulges being formed at the major fronts, Russian forces realised that the front was collapsing and domestic support for the Russian war effort began to deteriorate whilst popular support was still growing for Chemgotan independence fondly over exceeding expectations as the Chemgotan forces soon commenced large fast paced hit and run skirmish assaults against the Russian forces and thousands of Russians began to surrender to the Chemgotans resulting in a shift of the conflict going towards the Chemgotan side and the rebels as many settlements and populated areas within Yakutia and Khabarovsk were liberated by forces of the organised and professional Chemgotan Defence Force and by Militia and Partisan volunteers who took up arms in localised areas resulting with defensive pockets being forged which further causes disruptions and hefty losses for the Russian military to recover from.

### **New Hope Found**

As the front changed in favour of the Chemgotans, the Russian forces were unable to resist such assaults and were left straggling to recuperate from their losses against the Chemgotan forces, this proved that the Russian military was able to be defeated by the Chemgotan people which encourage more enlistment into the Chemgotan Defence Force, this also saw more Western assistance given to the Provisional Congress as the Russians also began to reinforce the front despite having attrition problems crossing the vast extensive mountainous and heavily forested terrain which led to the Russian supply line being stretched and ultimately useless, as a result the Russian Federation itself began conscripting more of it's people to fight in the Chemgotan War of Independence which lead to mutinies and support for the war effort in Russia dwindled further was conscription was unpopular, meanwhile in Chemgota, support from the people in the Dalstroy and the Far East was heavily popular as all corners of the region knew about the armed struggle against the Russian tyrants stealing their resources and livelihoods, this saw and increase of Partisan and Militia operations in Eastern Yakutia and Northern Khabarovsk which managed to distract the Russian forces from confronting the main Chemgotan forces entrenched along the front, as a result the Chemgotan forces mounted a surprise offensive into North Khabarovsk which changed the shift of balance in the Northern Khabarovsk Front which the Russians were unable to retaliate and properly repel in time, this led to the Chemgotan forces scoring countless victories such as Ayan against the Russians despite both sides having mounting casualties, however the front was stalled yet again as the Russian forces reinforced from Vlaidvostok managed to defend Chumikan from the Chemgotan assault, which drove them north to defend Ayan from the Russian counteroffensives, entering a stalemate yet again.

Meanwhile in the Yakut Front, the Chemgotan forces also mounted an offensive to reach the Lena River, this was successful as the Chemgotan forces entered the south and spearheaded an assault towards Mirny, but ended in catastrophe as the Chemgotan forces were stretched too thin and lost communications with their commanding officers, forcing them to retreat and continue the fight at the Verkhoyansk Range throughout the Winter which caused large disruptions and the offensives at the front from both sides were halted, however the Chemgotan forces took advantage of the Winter and began to entrench and established fortified positions in the mountain ranges whilst the Russians ruthlessly continued their assaults against the Chemgotans which ended in failure and humiliating defeat, like the previous engagements of the war, the failures and incompetence of the Russian military encouraged the Chemgotan forces to launch a shock attack and continue guerrilla campaigns behind enemy lines which saw the capture of several strategic settlements throughout Yakutia's vast territory, shifting the balance of the conflict yet again in the favour of Chemgota, however this shift would be considered the final nail in the coffin, as the Russians began to deteriorate and falter with many even defecting to the Chemgotan side and surrendering for better and proper treatment of wounds and malnutrition hit the Russian military hard as most of their forward operation bases were subsequently besieged constantly by the Chemgotan forces.

### **Shift of Balance**

As the conflict continued the Chemgotan forces were becoming more accumulated with the Russian strategy and tactics and continued to inflict heavy losses towards Russian units throughout the region of conflict being supported by local Partisans and Militia which collaborated with the Chemgotans to liberate the region, as Russia's atrocities were becoming widely known throughout the region along with popular support skyrocketing for the rebel cause, many more people throughout the region began to enlist into the Chemgotan Defence Force's service branches and begin Partisan and Militia operations against Russian occupation to help aid the Chemgotan forces progress through. As bloodshed continued, the climate began to change in the favour for the Chemgotan defenders which proved to be beneficial for the Chemgotan forces to launch further guerrilla operations against the Russian invaders and continued to repel them from mounting further assaults into occupied Chemgotan territory, although some territory was regained by the Russians via careful planning, the effectiveness of wide scale operations for the Russians were unfavourable as they faced heavy terrain and climate problems they were ill prepared for, unlike the Chemgotan forces, which excelled in cold-climate warfare and shared survivalist traits such as hunting and instinct survival, this allowed the Chemgotans to employ light infantry and cavalry units to use skirmish tactics to bare down against the Russian forces as they lacked any aerial, armoured or firepower support with their attacks.

The incompetence of the Russian High Command further deteriorated the favours for a Russian victory as the balance of power was being shifted to favour the Provisional Congress and affiliated forces rather than the Russians to reobtain rule and authority over their lost territories in the Far East. Within the rest of Russia, the war was increasingly becoming unpopular as the causality ratio between the Chemgotan and Russian forces was heavily unamenable for the Russian military to maintain a hard presence within the region furthermore as the conflict continued to be fought. As the Russians were continued to be reinforced with more units from European Russia finally arriving to the front, they were isolated in pockets and were consistently bogged down with their supportive equipment as the Chemgotan forces continued penetration assaults and hit and run attacks against the Russian forces, the Chemgotans also were proficient in marksmanship training and also were organised and professional military forces assisted and advised by Western Powers such as the United States with their war effort which also influenced Chemgotan Generals to have more strategic and tactical intellect, knowledge and competence rather than their Russian counterparts. In the air war the conflict was also becoming more favourable for the Chemgotan Air Force as it began surgical strikes against vital Russian military infrastructure, installations and outposts along with using various air manoeuvre strategies against the Russian Air Force such as being capable to take down Russian bomber formations with being assisted from anti-air platforms from the Ground Forces. The Naval conflict also changed to favour the Chemgotans, although more of a dreadlock, the Russian Military was ultimately exhausted by the conflict and so was the majority of the Russian Federation, meanwhile the Chemgotan forces continued to have boosted morale and confidence to win the war with careful strategic engagements with the enemy forces to be able to ensure that Russia would enter peace negotiations with the Provisional Congress, although when talks were requested and supported by UN member states, the Russian Federation continued to refuse to accept a peace offer, causing the conflict to continue furthermore.

### **Turning Tide**

Following the successes of the Chemgotan Defence Force in managing to repel further reinforced and hardened assaults from the Russian forces, the Chemgotans shifted their focus of balance towards cutting off supply lines and aiming to penetrate their defences to reach settlements, along with employing agents and highly trained operatives to begin to target the chain of command and figureheads in charge of the Russian military units, these operations were at the most part, highly successful in crippling the ability for the Russians to mount any further offensives into Chemgota territory as their chain of command was heavily hindered by the coercion attack against their positions and held territory, this led to the liberation of many settlements across Chemgota as the Russian forces were beginning to falter.

By this point of time the Russian military was already heavily demoralised, disorganised and ill-equipped to continue the fight against suppressing the breakaway Chemgotans, especially when Chemgota was being backed by several Western Powers with their war effort such as the United States from Alaska which was vital in sustaining the continuation of Chemgota's fight against obtaining independence from Russian control. As the Russian forces were becoming weakened, the Chemgotan Defence Force committed to pitched battles against the Russians as many Russian leaders believed that if the Chemgotans engaged in pitched and frontal engagements the Russian military would certainly win these engagements, however after a series of campaigns to hinder the Russian strength in the region, these pitched battles were no different from the indirect guerrilla approach the Chemgotan forces mostly employed whilst fighting against the Russian units, the frontal offensives led to the inability for the Russians to continue fighting in spite of their wholehearted devotion towards protecting the region and maintaining Russian administration, as the conflict was faltering for the Russians furthermore they began to enact scorched earth strategies to delay the counteroffensives launched by the Chemgotan forces and with their reliability on using special forces, which were neglected and misused highly by the Russian forces as they were used to fight in frontal engagements rather than tactical and strategic operations, the Chemgotan forces also forced the Russian military to engage in charging forward and causing them to become heavily enveloped and pressuring them with surprise assaults in heavily based skirmish warfare strategies and luring them into weakened and exposed position which caused them to manoeuvre into retreats, although the Chemgotan forces heavily anticipated these fall back attempts the Russian forces attempted to enact, causing them to be outflanked and enclosed fully as entire Divisions were lost to Chemgotan forces, leading to Russian support for the war along with expenses on maintaining, preserving and establishing new military units to be a burden.

### **Certain Victory**

The war continued for several more years mostly encompassing East Yakutia and North Khabarovsk as the main fronts during the conflict, known broadly as the Western Front, the Chemgotan forces continued to utilise the terrain and weather to their advantage to demoralise and continue to put pressure upon the Russian forces on planning and their continuation of participation within the conflict, but this time, the Chemgotans were significantly gaining the advantage against the once superior Russian military and the presence of Western aid become more stagnant with more foreign volunteers and mercenaries working in favour for the Chemgotans forces against their Russian adversaries, as the conflict continued further many Russians began to defect including leaders of designated units of the Russian military which was problematic for the Russia to deal with, operations to assassinate the revolutionary leader Igor Elmpt were also made, but all attempts failed in doing so and the majority of Russian spies were detained for their attempts or were uncovered by the Chemgotan forces, although Russia was more reluctant to enter peace talks with the Chemgotans, the United Nations and the international community was staunchly in opposition of Russian action within the Far East and many nations supported a peaceful resolution for the armed conflict to end, with this, the Russian public was also openly in opposition of the war and with the years of corruption and authoritarian rule over Russia, many Russians began to protest against the conflict and engaged in civil disobedience which led to the Russian authorities brutally cracking down on sympathisers and individuals who were against the war in Chemgota.

Prominently not as successful, the rest of Russia, primarily the region of Siberia and it's administrative subjects were strongly against supporting Russia's war against the Chemgotan separatists, with secessionists in Tuva, West Yakuia, Outer Manchuria and abroad staging their own minor revolutions which disrupted the Russian focus on Chemgota as the Russian military became outstretched with continuing their war. As internal conflict began to plague and take over Russian political affairs, the Russian military was continuing to suffer heavy casualties and losses from the war, with Vladivostok also being raided by the Chemgotan Naval Force adjoined by assets from the Chemgotan Air Force in depredation against Russia's Pacific Fleet. Many air bases were also targeted and heavily damaged by the Chemgotan forces as well, leading to air support for the Russians to become significantly obstructed. Although prior to the ending stage of the conflict, Russia did deploy airborne units to land throughout Chemgota to aim to occupy important points to weaken the Chemgotans, although with assistance from local Partisans and Militia forces these attempts were suppressed, as Russia was incalculable on their decisions towards the continuation of the conflict, by the wars end, the Chemgotan forces also began to entrench heavily and establish fortified positions such as dug-outs against impending Russian counterattacks, the continuation of devastating Chemgotan ambushes and skirmishes against the Russians aided in the capture of thousands of Russian personnel, equipment and assets which were pivotal towards peace talks between Chemgota and Russia to commence, observed by diplomats of the international community.

### **Final Phase & end of the war**

During the final stages of the Chemgotan War of Independence fighting was still as violent was it was during the initial stages of the conflict, Russian forces continued to attack Chemgotan defensive positions but were for the most part, swiftly repelled, by the end of the conflict during the final months, the Russian military was deciding on enacting tactical nuclear strikes on Chemgota as the cities of Yakutsk and Chumikan were captured by the Chemgotan forces in the months beforehand, as the claimed territory imposed by the Chemgotans were fulfilled, Russia continuously refused to enter negotiations and peace, as Russia was being defeated and ultimately humiliated by the Chemgotan forces, many Chemgotan units set out towards invading the remainder of Russian territory past the designated claimed borders, leading to battles occurring within the rest of the Far East but these attacks were mostly raids or distraction assaults for the Russian military to become bewildered as it was heavily disorganised by the conflict, as the Chemgotans began to tactically withdrawal from the regions they assaulted, the Russians maintained their own defensive positions to deter any further Chemgotan attacks which were half-hearted attempts. Furthermore, Chemgota did not order any further forces to assault past the border and so the rest of the war was mostly fought through entrenched positions as it was previously in several occasions. During the final days of the conflict, the United States threatened to directly intervene on the side of the Chemgotans and to proactively start the Third World War as a result if Russia did not fold to the demands, already suffering from economic sanctions and political outcry, many nations favoured the independence of Chemgota as a new independent sovereign state, as the borders were maintained, Chemgota and Russia entered peace negotiations which bought about the end of the ten year conflict with the signing of the Treaty of Magadan between delegates of Chemgota and Russia, mediated by observers from the United States and United Kingdom proper.

## Aftermath

### **Casualties and Losses**

Throughout the duration of the ten year Chemgotan War of Independence, casualties were suffered greatly on both sides of the conflict, it is estimated that around 4,155,367 people died as the direct result of the fighting during the Chemgotan War of Independence, it is estimated that 3,400,700 Russian personnel were killed during the conflict, which the Russian forces in the war being 5,700,000 soldiers, accounting for 60% of deployed soldiers being killed or wounded, with some estimates being higher. Chemgotan casualties from the war peaked around 722,518 personnel of the Chemgotan Defence Force which also includes Chemgotan affiliated militias and partisan organisations and cells, many Chemgotans being killed or wounded during the fierce fighting of the war, in comparison, the Chemgotans had two million less losses than that of Russia, advocating that Chemgotan tactics of irregular warfare was admirable in the favour of the Chemgotan forces with also having advantage multipliers such as the weather, terrain and logistics along with other natural miscellaneous components which played a key role in the defence of Chemgotan territory. Along with the two major factions of the war, a total casualty number for civilians in unknown, but many sources seemingly place the estimate to be roughly 30,000 or more, varies from different media. Many civilians were killed throughout the war through acts of genocide and massacres along with incidental attacks and many people being indirectly affected by the carnage which the conflict enveloped the Far East with.

In regards to equipment losses throughout the war, the Russian military lost around 50% of their total assets which were deployed to the Northeastern Far East to combat the Chemgotan forces with, these losses sustained by the Russian military placed them in a humiliated position once the war ended and the financial cost of losing valuable and expensive modern military equipment quickly broke the Russian economy, especially when further governmental spending and funding was driven towards the arms manufacturing industry. Chemgotan equipment losses in the war were the polar opposite of Russian equipment, in regards of losses sustained, the Chemgotan Defence Force and their paramilitary assets merely lost around 25% of its total equipment, following the end of the war, the majority of the equipment used was replenished via purchasing equipment from other nations to sustain the losses suffered, Chemgota was also being supported globally by countless nations in regards of social, political, technological and economic support.

The widespread use of landmines significantly impacted the region during and after the war along with other unexploded munitions which were in direct result by the conflict. The war left behind thousands of unexploded landmines and other explosive remnants of war across the country. These unexploded devices posed a serious threat to civilians, particularly in rural areas where people are more likely to come into contact with them. Many people have been killed or maimed by landmines and other unexploded devices, alongside booby traps and unreleased chemical weapons, as they continued to cause casualties well after the end of the war. Despite efforts to remove these dangerous elements across Chemgota, the sheer scale of the problem means that it will likely take decades to clear them all. In addition to the problem of landmines, the Chemgotan War of Independence also left behind a devastating legacy on the Far East region, where much of the fighting took place. Disease and famine were widespread, with many people lacking access to basic necessities like food, clean water, and medical care. The war displaced thousands of people, many of whom were forced to flee their homes and seek refuge elsewhere. The resulting disruption to people's lives and livelihoods had a long-lasting impact on the region and its people.

### **Reconstruction**

The Chemgotan War of Independence marked a crucial turning point in the history of the northeastern Far East of Siberia. Following the cessation of hostilities in 2036, the Republic of Chemgota embarked on an extensive effort dedicated towards the reconstruction of the nation, with the aim of revitalising the nation's socioeconomics, infrastructure, logistics, and economy. The process was significantly bolstered by foreign aid from Western countries and other international corporations, with significant humanitarian assistance from the United Nations which voted in order to support the reconstruction effort of Chemgota. The Chemgotan War of Independence left the region with substantial challenges, including severe infrastructure damage, displacement of civilians, economic stagnation, and a strained social fabric. To overcome these obstacles and ensure a stable and prosperous future, the Chemgotan government outlined several development frameworks which planned for post conflict reconstruction. The objectives encompassed rebuilding critical infrastructure, restoring essential public services, fostering economic growth, and facilitating societal healing and reconciliation. In the wake of the conflict, the global community rallied to support Chemgota's reconstruction efforts. Western countries, recognising the significance of a stable and rehabilitated Chemgota, offered substantial financial assistance and support. These nations channelled funds into critical sectors, including healthcare, education, energy, and transportation, enabling the initiation of rehabilitation projects and sustainable development.

Moreover, numerous international corporations demonstrated a vested interest in Chemgota's potential for economic growth and investment. They partnered with the national government, contributing capital, technological support, and employment opportunities. These partnerships not only stimulated economic activity but also facilitated the transfer of skills and knowledge, which largely bolstered Chemgota's newly rebuilt and revitalised industrial capacity. In addition to direct foreign aid, the United Nations played a pivotal role in the reconstruction process by providing humanitarian assistance. United Nations agencies collaborated with local authorities to address the immediate needs of affected populations. This assistance encompassed the provision of emergency relief, food aid, medical care, and shelter to internally displaced persons and vulnerable communities. UN-led initiatives also focused on psychosocial support and trauma healing for those affected by the conflict, aiding in the restoration of social stability and fostering a sense of community. Recognising the urgency of providing assistance to the affected population in Chemgota, the United Nations exerted diplomatic pressure on the Russian government to permit the establishment of humanitarian corridors. The international community stressed the imperative of unimpeded access for humanitarian aid to reach those in need, regardless of geopolitical boundaries. Diplomatic efforts were geared towards fostering cooperation, understanding, and collaboration between Russia and the UN to ensure a smooth transition from conflict to recovery. The UN, in coordination with relevant stakeholders, proposed and advocated for multi-model humanitarian corridors, utilising air, land, and sea routes. This approach aimed to provide flexibility and diversify the means of delivering aid, catering to the unique needs and circumstances of the affected populace in Chemgota.

By the 2050s, Chemgota had made substantial strides in its post-conflict reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts. The international aid and assistance, combined with the resilience and determination of the Chemgotan people, played a crucial role in rebuilding the nation. The once war-torn nation saw significant infrastructural development, educational reforms, and socio-economic growth. Roads, bridges, hospitals, and schools were rebuilt, fostering connectivity and access to essential services for the population. The reconstruction of critical infrastructure laid the foundations for a more sustainable and self-sufficient Chemgota. Investments in education and vocational training programs fuelled a skilled workforce, empowering the population to actively contribute to the nation's economic recovery. Small and medium enterprises thrived, contributing to a burgeoning economy. Efforts were made to preserve and celebrate the unique cultural heritage of Chemgota, reinforcing a sense of unity and identity among the populace. However, even as Chemgota began to significantly recover by the 2050s, some remnants of the conflict persisted as enduring challenges. The most pressing of these issues were the remnants of landmines and unexploded ordnance scattered across the country, posing a significant threat to civilians and hindering reconstruction efforts. Demining operations were commenced in order to remove these problems, but the sheer scale of contamination required sustained international support. Nevertheless, Chemgota continued to rebuild itself even with these elements being major considerations towards the safety of the Chemgotan people. Continuing on the Chemgotan government also largely modernised itself following the conclusion of most of the reconstruction efforts.
