**Gründer Incorporated** is a Private Military Company (PMC) that specialise in the development of weapons, combat vehicles, and aircraft while often being able to support countries in warfare and logistics.

## **History**

### **Formation**

The idea of a PMC was formed by former CEO Lewis Wright after realising the potential of a privatised military force in a world of war and conflict. Using Wisp assets sold by Blidonia, the privatised military idea gained a foothold and saw the company's first job in the Mediterranean-Egalitarian war as a Blidonian asset.

### **Beginnings**

#### **The Mediterranean-Egalitarian war**

The Second Egalitarian Republic initially hired Gründer to annex the Free Territories of Estonia and bring it under Egalitarian control in the war against the Mediterranean Federation. This campaign was successful and was one of the supporting roles Gründer played in the Egalitarian annexation of Europe and the rise of 'Egualitaria'. While annexing Estonia, Gründer gained the technology and resources to then create and research new equipment. This newfound attention from the war then encouraged a purchase of weapons and equipment from the Alaskan Communist Union and the Greater Blidonian Empire, which gave enough money for Gründer to cement itself as a major company.

#### **The Alaskan Drama**

Shortly after the Alaskan purchase of Gründer equipment, and after the cooperation between Alaska and Gründer in a joint researching deal where Alaska provides production funds for 30% all successfully made equipment (of which the 6% equipment will then be sent to Alaska), and after an event where it is speculated that Alaska may have been embarrassed by a tank deal with Egualitaria after interfering with another tank deal being conducted between Gründer and Egualitaria (where Alaska offered Egualitaria 300k for a heavy tank while Gründer only offered 75k, before immediately offering a discount to Egualitaira of 50k after learning the Gründer tank price), the Alaskan Republic then demanded to return the money lost during a Alaska v. Gründer court case where Alaska was accused of stealing and copying Gründer tank designs.

What sparked the controversy was where Egualitaria, who also copied Gründer designs, was fined a meagre 200k which was not paid due to Gründer backing down from Egalitarian aggression. A pissing contest then ensued where the Blidonian Qawian Commonwealth then actively supported Gründer, which then attracted Egalitarian attention. 'Debates' on seizing Gründer resources with Blidonia, Alaska and Egualiatria continued which were then shortly forgotten after the end of the World Cup which overshadowed the controversy.

### **The separation with Blidonia**

#### **The 4th Blidonian-Zhuanese war and Sino-Gründer conflict**

After a public vote initiated by Jamal Alman (Quasim Aljeed, then president of Blidonia), he begins Operation Green Flood, which was an operation involving a scorched earth attack where chemical gases would be released into countries to gas the citizens. This was operation was then scrapped for unknown reasons, as their attention was then diverted to Zhuan-shi. Originally, it was speculated that the goal of the Blidonian Qawian Commonwealth was to seed qawian rebels in Zhuan-shi to incite a coup. It seems the Blidonians were too impatient and begun their war with the Zhuanese. Gründer first took a backseat in the conflict, stealing some Blidonian planes from the battlefield. But upon learning the death of one of the Wang's (Zhuanese royal family) children, Staffan Sentzke, then head of military operations, decided to act and help push back the Blidonian invaders.

During the counterattack against Blidonian forces, a simultaneous surprise attack was launched from the Gründer Blidonian bases to seize the president and free the capital from the Quasim Aljeed killing the Kurdish population. The surprise attack was successful, but was not fast enough to prevent the surrender of the Zhuanese. The Blidonian terms for surrender included the independence of Korea and China. China, wanting then to take over the land lost by the Zhuanese, then begun to combat the Gründer forces who were the only remaining force left. During this second conflict, Staffan personally presented the then president of Blidonia and the Head of Blidonian Secret police, who supposedly called for the kill order of the Wang's son, to the Zhuanese Royal Family.

With weapons provided by Staffan, Wang Ah-Lam Xuē, the queen of Zhuan-shi, personally executed the Head of secret police, while torturing Quasim Aljeed by cutting off his fingers, jaw and voicebox. A blidonian rescue helicopter was send to rescue Quasim, but this failed as the helicopter crashed mysteriously. Quasim, then out of options, bit and kicked the balls of the queen's spouse, Xīn'ài Zawj, who was there at the time. The attack on Xīn'ài testicles made him unable to have another child. Witnessing this, Staffan then draws a sawn-off shotgun from his coat and shoots Quasim's pelvis at near point-blank range. Wang Ah-Lam then started cutting up what remained of Quawsim (an ear, a hand, and a throat) as revenge for her family. Quasim then died of blood loss and his body was later burned.

While the Chinese were still battling Gründer, the then head of the Chinese Union was then found. Gründer threatened to kill the Chinese leader with the demands that all lands occupied be given to the Zhuanese, and the Chinese Union be disbanded. The Chinese refused, that the Union leader was killed. The army continued to fight, and was pushed to the Chinese coastline. The few Chinese loyalists escaped, while the others all defected.

#### **The Anti-Gründer Blidonian coalition**

After the death of Quasim Aljeed, Gründer then set up a democratic government to prevent the previous mistake in the Qawian government. Although later when Gründer was asked to leave, a deal was negotiated so that Gründer bases still remain in the country. Gründer was later informed of a Anti-Gründer coalition, which further fueled Gründer separation from being a Blidonian asset. By now Gründer is completely independant.

#### The assassination of CEO Lewis Wright

Many of the High Military Command and hardcore Gründer members supported Staffan after he made the decision to assist the Zhuanese against Wright's orders. Unsatisfied with the outcome the High Military Command arranged a coup to kill the CEO via a sniper and then blamed the Blidonian Anti-Gründer coalition. Then, by a vote by the high command, Staffan was placed as the leader of Gründer.
