Moscow Union​

History: Shortly before the atomic war of 2025, thousands of government officials, workers, special forces units, and their families took shelter within Moscow's D6, a mighty Cold War Era bunker designed not only to serve as a command center for the Russian Federation's nuclear stockpile, but to additionally preserve a fragment of the population for the eventual restoration of the country for an estimated stay of thirty years.

Hundreds of thousands of others were not so lucky. Retreating into the Moscow Metro, they were forced to rebuild society underground from scratch. Many perished in the first few months alone, but amongst this chaos and destruction a unified government would arise amongst the survivors, the Central Metro Command. Governed by former government officials, celebrities, and military figures, it would slowly separate into a multitude of factions as pleas for decency and order fell on deaf ears.

Decades later, in 2046, the Moscow Union, having carefully monitored their brothers and sisters from D6, revealed themselves to the Moscow Metro and began regular patrols of the underground alongside a plethora of relief efforts. Brokering an alliance with the most prosperous station, Polis, and the most renowned military force of the Metro, the Rangers of the Order, the Moscow Union would antagonize those that sought their own power. The Red Line, a Stalinist confederacy of stations, would assault D6 at the cost of hundreds of lives, inevitably failing against a much more experienced and technologically advanced foe than they remembered encountering in the past.

Emerging victorious from the conflict, all remaining rivals of the Moscow Union realized the benefits of cooperation and were soon absorbed into the fledgling democratic society. A standardized educational system would be set up, damaged lines would be repaired and brought back to working order, and the mutated abominations of Moscow for once and for all would be driven from the Metro entirely, ensuring a bright future for all, underground.

In more recent years, expansions have been made along the North and South of the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line (originally the project goal was to tunnel to the Metros of St. Petersburg and Rostov-on-Don, but once the sheer distance and costs were fully realized they purportedly served a new role as new stations and exits to the non-irradiated outskirts of Moscow) and efforts to pierce the mysteriously blocked Filevskaya Line and the near-mythical scientific community of the Emerald City are well underway.

A heavy surface presence is maintained, allowing the Moscow Union ease of access to the treasures of Russia's greatest city, regulation of Stalker traffic, and ability to eliminate worrisome mutant nests.

Military

Private Soldiery ​

The Moscow Union's military forces are unique amongst the nations of the world, largely being operated by a variety of private entities under government contract. Typically soldiers are clothed in their employer's standard uniform and are equipped with Bastards, a brand of low quality carbines (yet highly effective in the confined spaces of the Metro) as prized for their incredible firing rate and close range firepower as they are cursed at for their frequent overheating and jamming issues. Fortunately though, trial and error has proven that if one unfortunate soldier can't fire their gun, the two to their left and right probably can finish the firefight in their fallen comrade's stead. However, despite the vast majority of soldier employees being commonly under-equipped and trained, these militaries often operate their own special forces units and have come to possess their own stockpile of military grade armaments for their experienced forces.

Government Soldiery​

Government forces on the other hand pale in comparison to the sheer overwhelming numbers of their peers, but have managed to retain infantry-wise much of the ancient firepower, protection, and technological advancements once enjoyed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Russian Federation, as well as being subject to a far more rigorous training program. Most soldiers are equipped with the AK-74M 2024 model and wear camouflaged bulletproof armor passed down from their forefathers.

Vehicles​

A number of armored railcars, trains, and monorails are maintained by the state for the purpose of allowing quick reactions to rapidly changing tactical situations, but in the years since the Moscow Union's formation innovative designs have been produced by the private militaries at no small cost to themselves to bolster their own capabilities.

Kingdom of Andorra

History:
After the bombs fell in 2025, Andorra was left relatively unscathed due to it's isolated location. But of course the citizens scattered, the government was in ruins, and simply Andorra was left abandoned. For many years it would remain empty, every now and then being occupied by nomadic people or roaming raider gangs.

There was never any true unity in Andorra. Many of the citizens either passing from the initial fallout, or hiding in the Pyrenees mountain range. This all changed when a strange man going by the name of Alfonso II, arrived in Andorra in 2054 clad in full plate armor. This man at first was seen as a raving lunatic, approaching every survivor he met, asking them to join his cause. Soon small pockets of survivors and tribes surrounding Andorra began listening to Alfonso's ravings, and soon they were persuaded to join him.

Alfonso II revealed to his followers the plan for a second "Reconquista". Where in he would lead a nation, retake the Iberian Peninsula, and then reestablish the Kingdom of Castile. His followers, sick of a world ruled by anarchy and evil, quickly rallied behind Alfonso II, and thus began the 2nd Reconquista. Alfonso II first needed more followers, so he sent messengers to all known settlements in the Pyrenees mountains. Eventually Alfonso's following numbered around 1,000.

While his following steadily grew, Alfonso II began working on his Reconquista. He had limited manpower, and therefore needed well trained soldiers. He personally trained 3 men, in the art of the sword, diplomacy, and chivalry. These 3 men, Ian, Sebastian, and Samuel would act as his advisors. Ian with the guidance of Alfonso II began forming a military for the Kingdom of Andorra, his rigorous ideas of training helped form the elite Andorran infantry. Sebastian would begin working on industrialization. He did not have much to work with, besides the iron mines which he instantly put back into working order. This iron would be used to create the armor and weapons of the Andorran soldiers. Samuel began to recruit more followers for The Kingdom of Andorra.

By 2066 Alfonso II died of radiation poisoning, and his 8 year old son Alfonso III took over. Guided by his father's 3 advisors, Alfonso III set out to finish what his father had started.

By 2075 the 2nd Reconquista had accumulated a following of 1,764. Soon Alfonso's armies would be able to march. Alfonso III was afraid. He was not afraid of the idea of cannibalistic mutated raider gangs, or the large mutated creatures that roamed the wastes. No, he was afraid of rumors that had been spreading around the kingdom. Rumors of other nations rising from the atomic ash.

Military:
The military of Andorran is very reminiscent of the medieval age. The rigorous training allows for the Andorran troops to be well disciplined. The average footman would have either a sword or a pike, usually paired with an iron breastplate and a morion helmet. As the ranks got higher the armor and weapon quality would, the highest ranks of Andorran infantry being clad in full plate armor with heavy claymores. Along with the infantry there were archers to back them up. There was no cavalry, so marches would usually take awhile. No firearms are used by the Andorran military, as they are prone to jamming and unreliable. The Andorran military has taken up to using young men as drummer boys, as the loud beating of the drums has been shown to both inspire troops and strike fear into the enemy, that is if of course the enemy is even human. Eventually the Andorran military would like to start constructing siege equipment from long before the great war, but without proper blueprints, and proper understandings of the mechanisms, they will have to wait. Among other ambitions of the Andorran army is the idea to tame creatures of the waste for transportation. This has proved fruitless, as most creatures are unable to carry 200+ pounds of flesh and metal, or simply the creatures are too ferocious. Hopefully in the years to come The Kingdom of Andorra will find a suitable mount for cavalry units, but until then, it's marching. To fight back the disadvantage of not using firearms, the Andorran military has started to employ "shielders". These troops handle large thick iron shields capable of stopping most low-mid caliber ammunition. These shields have small wheels, and are pushed by 2 shielders during battle, to act as cover to the vulnerable infantrymen and knights. Similar to Mantlets, except instead of having the purpose to block arrows, the purpose is to block bullets. These shields can have at most 15-20 hiding behind, if they were to stack. Understanding the weakness that the Andorran infantry has to firearms, the engineers have the ambition to mass produce crossbow-esqu weapons for the archers to combat these long range rifles. This has proved fairly resource intensive and just isn't financially able, yet.
---
Fully mobilized the Andorran military has 1,567 personnel ready to fight for the reconquista.
---
215 elite knights
60 engineers and blacksmiths
915 infantrymen
200 archers
152 shielders (56 mantlets)
25 drummers

---
This leaves 194 people back home, mining the iron for tools, growing the crops for soldiers, preparing the weapons and armor, and protecting Andorra from small pests such as raiders or the occasional mutated beast.

50 of the 194 are garrisoned. The garrison consists of a handful of knights (3), and about 75% infantrymen (35) and 25% archers (12).
---
Because of Alfonso III's lack of experience, he stays home at Andorra while the army is off on a campaign, he hopes to one day be able to accompany his men on the battlefield, but for now that job belongs to Ian. The other two advisors, Sebastian and Samuel, stay back at Andorra and help Alfonso III run his nation and train him for combat.

  History:
  The Founding
  As the great city of Troy was ravaged by the deceitful Greeks, Aeneas, a son of Venus and a Trojan father, escaped and began a journey throughout the Aegean and Mediterranean. The tides brought Aeneas to Latium, where the Tiber divides Italia to the Apennines. In Latium, Aeneas clashed with King Turnus of Rutuli when he married the noble daughter of King Latinus who was desired by both men. King Tarchon of the Etruscans aided Aeneas in his war with Turnus and naturally Aeneas found victory. The bloodline of Aeneas and the Latin princess survived throughout the ages with members such as Ascanius, and Numitor.
  
  Numitor grew up to be the king of Alba Longa centuries after the heroic deeds of Aeneas. His treacherous brother Amulius ousted him from the throne and proceeded to murder the sons of Numitor to secure his reign as monarch. Rhea Silvia, Numitor's daughter, was spared and became a Vestal Virgin in service to the goddess Vesta. Mars learned of her fate and traveled to Alba Longa where he became enamored of Rhea. Together, Mars and Rhea conceived the two sons Romulus and Remus while she slept in bed. Rhea was imprisoned by Amulius who accused her of breaking her sacred vow to Vesta before throwing her into the Tiber where she married the god Tiberinus. Meanwhile, a servant was ordered to slay the children. Taking pity on the young babies, the servant set Romulus and Remus in a basket on the Tiber River and left it to the gods to decide whether their fate should be life or death. They were found soon after by a she-wolf who took them into her care and nursed them as if they were her own lost cubs. The shepherd Faustulus took the boys from the wolf and raised them along with his own wife Larentia.
  
  Now men, Romulus and Remus learned of their true backstories as rightful heirs to Alba Longa before they built an army and slew Amulius for his crimes. Numitor once more reigned as king over Alba Longa while Romulus and Remus left to construct a city of their own. Romulus and Remus found a series of hills near where the wolf rescued them. The brothers disagreed on where to build their city, but the gods showed them a sign that designated the Palatine Hill as the location for it. Romulus designated the borders of the city, which Remus jumped over. Upon witnessing this event, a builder for Romulus killed Remus. Celer's deeds were mourned by Romulus and news of them was spread to Faustulus and Larentia when the ghost of Remus appeared to tell them of his untimely demise.
  
  The Monarchy
  As the first king of Roma, Romulus was an ambitious ruler. He expanded his city from the Palatine Hill to also include the Capitoline, Aventine, Caelian and Quirinal Hills. Along with the expansion of Roma came the increase of Roman citizens, many of whom were criminals. As this continued on, Roma was a city full of men with no way to continue expanding the population or establish families. Romulus sought to fix this situation by inviting the neighboring Sabine tribes to a grand feast in Roma in honor of Consus. At the festival the Romans seized the Sabine women and made them their wives. Even Romulus's wife, Hersilia, was gained this way. The Sabines from Cures, under the leadership of King Titus Tatius entered into a state of war with Romulus and the Romans. During the war, a gate was opened by Tarpeia who allowed the Sabines to take the Capitoline Hill. The Sabine women, now fond of their Roman husbands helped to establish peace between the peoples who were ruled jointly by Romulus and Titus Tatius. Titus died before Romulus and so the title as sole ruler of the Roman and Sabine people was bestowed to Romulus. In the last years of his life, Romulus had grown disliked by the Senate he had created. When performing sacred rites at the River Tiber, the Senators unsheathed blades and stabbed their king to death. Watching the spectacle from the skies, Mars came down to the body of his son in a golden chariot adorned with the finest jewels of the world and carried off Romulus to the heavens.
  
  After the death of Romulus, a notable Senator by the name of Julius Proculus had a vision of Romulus transformed into the god Quirinus due to Romulus's shared divine blood with Mars, Venus, and the other deities. Julius Proculus seemed to be the next heir of the monarchy until complaint from the Sabines demanded that a Sabine man should rule both peoples as Romulus had done. Numa Pompilius was the next king of Roma after he was chosen by the Senate. Numa Pompilius was a peaceful and pious man who brought the Vestal Virgins from Alba Longa to Roma and built various temples such as the Temple of Janus. In fact, he gave his fetiales the power to declare war. In addition to that he established many of the holidays of Roma and made the months of Januarius and Februarius. During his life, Numa Pompilius took the somewhat barbaric city and civilized it with his religious guidance. He died in peace, never entering into a war with any other kingdoms.
  
  Tullus Hostilius took the throne after Numa Pompilius. Very much unlike Numa Pompilius, he entered into a state of war with Alba Longa over a petty dispute. Mettius Fufetius, the king of Alba Longa after the death of King Gaius Cluilius while preparing for the trench warfare in the Cluilian Trench outside of Roma, agreed to a battle of champions to solve the issue between Alba Longa with little bloodshed. The Roman champions were victorious and Alba Longa submitted to Roma, but Mettius Fufetius caused the Fidenates to begin hostilities with Roma. When the armies of Roma and the Fidenates clashed, the Albans joined against the Romans and suffered defeat alongside the Fidenates. Alba Longa was destroyed and the Albans were relocated to the Caelian Hill in Roma. To compensate for the larger population, Tullus Hostilius built a new meeting place for the Senate on the Capitoline Hill called the Curia Hostilia. Tullus Hostilius meet his doom when he was struck with lightning.
  
  Ancus Marcius was the fourth king of Roma and the grandson of Numa Pompilius. Thinking Ancus Marcius a peaceful man like his grandfather, the old Latins declared war on him and were subsequently destroyed before being absorbed into Roma. Ancus Marcius built Ostia and established Roman dominance over the mouth of the Tiber River where Roma gained a supply of salt. He ordered the construction of the Sublician Bridge which was the first to cross the Tiber, and he also had the Janiculan Hill fortified to server as a defensive position in the area and ensure Roma's dominance. As with Numa Pompilius, he died a respected and well-liked monarch.
  
  The next king to take power was Lucius Tarquinius Priscus. Unlike the previous rulers of Roma who can be associated with either Roman or Sabine stock, Tarquinius Priscus hailed from the Etruscan town of Tarquinii and was the son of Demaratus, a Dorian Greek from Corinth who fled the city on charges of sedition against Cypselus. Demaratus brought much of his Greek culture with him to Italia and introduced literacy to the Etruscans who in turn taught the Romans. Tarquinius Priscus was a man favored by fate elected after the death of Ancus Marcius who went to war with the neighbors of Roma and spread Roman rule over them. He built wondrous works in the city such as the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus and the Circus Maximus. Tarquinius Priscus died when the sons of Ancus Marcius sought vengeance upon him for sending them on a hunt when the Senate was electing a new king.
  
  Servius Tullius was found as a boy with his head covered in fire while he took no harm whatsoever. Word reached the wife of Tarquinius Priscus, Tanaquil, of the mysterious boy who then took Servius Tullius into her care. Tanaquil secured his position as king after the death of Tarquinius Priscus and he met little opposition after marrying his three daughters with the three sons of Tarquinius. He won a military victory over the Etruscans of Veii early in his reign much like the prior kings of Roma. Under the rule of Servius Tullius the Romans began to use metal currency. A major societal reform he made was the five class system with the patricians and other rich near the top and the poor plebeians at the bottom. The people of Roma were also divided into three tribes for tax purposes in the census. He continued work on the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus started by Tarquinius Priscus. Tarquinius Superbus, son of Tarquinius Pricus made haste to the Senate in the clothes of a monarch and Servius Tullius met his end as he was stabbed to death at the Senate.
  
  Lucius Tarquinius Superbus was the last king to rule the Roman people. Tarquinius Superbus was a tyrant who gave himself total authority over the courts which allowed him to remove his political enemies. He brought forth the Treaty of Ferentia which made Roma the head of the Latin League before he declared war against the Volcian tribe and took two cities. He finished the construction of the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus which ended up housing the Sibylline books, which, after the destruction of six, served as three books of prophecy for the Romans. Needless to say, the Romans harbored a resentment for Tarquinius Superbus and when his son raped Lucretia, a Roman noblewoman, the people revolted. By CCXLIV AUC, Roma was now a Republic ruled entirely by the Senate.
  
  The Early Republic
  The overthrowing of the monarchy saw Lucius Junius Brutus, a key figure in the revolt elected as leader of Roma along with Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus. Due to his relation with Sextus Tarquinius, Lucretia's rapist, and Tarquinius Superbus, Lucius Tarquinius was exiled and replaced by Publius Valerius Publicola. In the battles against Tarquinius Superbus, Junius Brutus fell in combat before Valerius Publicola defeated Tarquinius Superbus. The defeated tyrant of Roma sought aid from the Etruscans of Clusium under King Lars Porsena. As the Etruscans began their siege of Roma, Valerius Publicola asked Lars Porsena to decide whether it was just or not of the Romans to outcast their old king. Tarquinius Superbus objected to the question which angered the Etruscan king who subsequently ended his attack on Roma.
  
  After their war of independence and safeguarding the Republic, the Romans entered war with the Sabines. In a series of Roman victories, a notable Sabine noble by the name of Attius Clausus took the Roman name Appius Claudius Sabinus and became a citizen of Roma. His conversion is one of the key factors in Roma's success as he brought with him thousands of his warriors. Seeing as how they could not defeat the Romans, the Sabines surrendered and their war was over.
  
  Roma's next war was against the Latin League after a conflict arose when Roma claimed various cities as their subjects in a treaty with Carthago to ensure that the the Carthaginians would not enter into a state of war with Roma and could pursue friendly relations. Naturally, this angered the Latins who started a campaign against the Romans under Octavius Mamilius. A Roman victory at Lake Regillus caused the Latin League to submit to Roma in CCLXI AUC.
  
  Gaius Marcius Coriolanus was a Senator who lost in an election for the positions of Consul. In an attempt to unjustly take power from the plebeians by starving them, Gaius was exiled for treason against Roma. He made refuge with the Volscian tribe and raised them in arms to take Roma and beat the Romans in battle. His family in Roma, serving as diplomats, convinced him to end the siege although occasional wars with the Volscians still took place.
  
  Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, a former Consul who rejected reelection, was chosen as dictator when the Sabines joined against the Romans while Roma already struggled against the Aequians and Volscians. A Consular army under Lucius Minucius was sent to fight the Sabines, but it later found itself cut off from the city. Quinctius Cincinnatus used his short period as dictator to save the stranded Romans and then resigned when a dictator was no longer needed.
  
  When democracy had started in Athens, it ended up using Solon's code of laws. Having no written laws in Roma, it was a desire among the plebeians to follow the Athenian model. To do this, there would be ten Romans reigning for one year terms serving a supreme judges who wrote the laws. The Decemviri, as they were called, worked on creating laws for one year before the second election. Appius Claudius Inregellensis Sabinus Crassus, a previous Decemvir, ran for the new election and was given the job of organizing the new election to dissuade him from running as a candidate. He used the power to rig the elections and rule Roma as a tyrant. One of his misdeeds was naming a girl a slave to prevent a marriage between her and another man due to his infatuation over her. Verginius, her father, rose up against Appius Claudius the Decemvir and took Janiculum Hill, forcing the Decemviri to resign. The Twelve Tables were the sets of laws written by the Decemviri.
  
  Eventually the Romans defeated the Sabines, Aequians, Volscians. Perhaps one of Roma's largest victories during this time was when Marcus Furius Camillus took the Etruscan city of Veii alongside his junior leader Cornelius Scipio. When seizing the city of Veii, the Romans took the sacred statue of Juno from the Etruscans and relocated it to Juno's temple in Roma. The Etruscan's weakened state was in part a result of being attacked themselves by the tribal Gauls who had crossed into Etruria.
  
  By MMMLX AUC, Roma was at war with the Falerians. A Falerian traitor kidnapped several children to important members of their tribe and offered them as a gift to the Romans to ensure Falerian submission. The Romans denied the traitor and instead imprisoned him before sending him and the children back to the Falerians. This noble gesture on the behalf of the Romans was met with the Falerians surrendering to their enemies who showed honor even when it was not beneficial for them to do so.
  
  Soon, the very same Gauls that had weakened the Etruscans arrived to face the Romans in battle. After a crushing Roman defeat near the city of Roma, the Gauls wreaked havoc in the city, plundered wealth, and butchered the Senate before occupying it. The Gallic Senones's homeland was under raid from the Veneti while a famine loomed over Roma. Arranging a deal for the Gauls leaving the city, Brennus asked the Romans for one thousand pounds of gold. As the Romans mustered up the large sum of wealth, Brennus added his sword to the weights and demanded more gold. Instead of paying the humiliating ransom for their own native city, the Romans rallied their soldiers and drove the Gauls out of Roma and back to the North. In the aftermath of the Gallic invasion, Roma was rebuilt and outfitted with a strong wall that encompassed all seven hills within the city. It was their barbaric invasion that fueled later Roman conquests.
  
  The class struggles in Roma between patrician and plebeian continued on, and like in Greece the wealthy merchants of common blood hungered after political power. The highest position attainable was the Consulship which was exclusively for patricians only. The tribunes of the people, Caius Licinius Stolo and Lucius Sextius made a proposition for reform that would allow plebeians to become Consuls and institute reforms in the matters of land and debt. The patrician Senators rejected the bill, so the tribunes vetoed all of the elections and stopped the Roman government from working. The patricians eventually gave in to the demand of the tribunes which marked a significant point in the patrician's loss of exclusive aristocratic power over the plebeians.
  
  In the south of Italia, Dionysius of Syracusae died and his dominion over much of Magna Graecia died when his son became ruler. This sparked a series of raids by the Italian tribes against the weakened Greeks and left the position for being a dominant power across all of Italia open. After successfully defending Roma from more Gallic raids the Etruscans tried to attack Roma once more. A peace treaty was arranged after the Etruscans were defeated in which they would not go to war with the Romans again for at least XL more years. The wealthy and prosperous merchant city of Carthago saw Roma as the new major power in Italia and revived their ancient treaty with the Romans that kept peaceful and friendly relations between them.
  
  As the Samnite tribes fought against the Campanians, Capua asked Roma for aid against the barbarians. Roma obliged and sent armies South to deal with the Samnites. Overall, the war went very well for the Roman army led by Marcus Valerius Corvus. The Roman armies in Campania rebelled against the Senate, and Marcus Valerius Corvus was elected as dictator to deal with them. Marcus Valerius listened to the rebel soldiers and promised higher wages before he made peace with the Samnites and ended Roma's affairs in the South.
  
  Due to their new alliance with the Samnites, the Romans now found themselves at war with the Campanians and the Latin League. Already having an army ready for battle, Marcus Valerius won against the Campanians and forced them to surrender. The Latins and Volscians in the North were easily beaten by Marcus Valerius who also took the city of Antium. With the end of the war, the Latin League no longer existed, but Roma ruled over all of Latium.
  
  The Bruttian League in Southern Italia made up of the Italian hill tribes threatened the city of Tarentum which prompted the Greeks there to seek the help of the Spartan King Archidamus. In battle against the Italian Lucanians, Archidamus was slain. The next Greek to journey to Italia was Alexander of Epirus who likely took inspiration from the expedition his nephew Alexander was on in the large Persian Empire against Darius III of the Achaemenid dynasty. Alexander of Epirus was a worthy leader in his Italian campaign, but it ended when he was killed by a Lucanian assassin.
  
  The Samnites' occupation of the Greek city of Neapolis drew Roma and the Samnites into a war for being the dominant power of Italia. Caius Pontius, a Samnite leader, trapped both Roman Consuls and their army at the Caudine Forks. The Consuls surrendered and negotiated a peace with Caius Pontius. In Roma, they shamefully resigned. The Senate however claimed that their surrender was illegitimate due to the Consuls never contacting the Senate during negotiations. The war continued on and the Etruscan Tarquinians, Falerians, and Aequians joined against Roma. In the mountains the Marsi, and the Paeligni decided to attack Roma. Thinking the tides of war to be swept in favor of the Samnites, the Hernicians also went to war with Roma. A peace was established in CDL AUC between the enemies of Roma and Roma itself.
  
  Hostilities were reawakened when the Lucanians had asked for Roma's support against the Samnites. Brutal fighting resumed between the two major powers of Italia with victories and defeats on both sides. Being unable to continue with their war against Roma who had been constantly growing in power, the Samnites surrendered and were forced into an alliance while they also lost some of their territory to Roman colonies.
  
  The Rebirth
  Before the war, Titus Julius Philologus was a professor specializing in ancient Rome and Latin. He became a political activist and reformer in Italy before the country was destroyed was a major advocate of actively building defenses. It was his policies that played to the historic Nationalism of the Italian people that saw his rise in the government of Italy and his election as the mayor of Rome. When the war had erupted, he went into his underground bunkers along with his City Council and began establishing his new republic, a Roman Republic.
  
  As a leader among the survivors of Rome, Titus Julius played to their emotions and convinced them to believe that the destruction of the world was their fault for not intervening early enough and that it was their civic duty to restore culture and civilization to the world once again. Managing his vault, with his new Senate made up of the old City Council, Titus began restoring ancient Roman traditions and helped teach some of the children born in the vaults. Titus Julius also took advantage of this unique situation to restore Mos Maiorum, the ancient Pagan beliefs of Roma, by indoctrinating the new generations of children. Among the parents there was little resistance as their faith in Christianity had been destroyed along with the rest of the old world. For his deeds, Titus Julius was named 'Pater Patriae' and 'Pater de Res Publica'.
  
  To the South of Roma, human remnants in the city of Naples grouped together to defend from the harsh new world. Founded by soldiers and fishermen, Neapolis was formed and their Senate voted Marcus Tullius Bellatus as their dictator as he had been an exemplary military commander. Rumors of Roma being populated to the North with another Roman civilization sparked a quest undertaken by Marcus Tullius to march North and investigate. The Neapolitan army met with the Roman army and the son of Pater Patriae Titus Julius met with Marcus Tullius. One day later, Pater Patriae Titus formalized the union of Roma and Neapolis while the legions conquered the land in between the two cities.
  
  Back in Roma, two horsemen from the Eastern Roman Empire arrived in the city. Consul Cnaeus Verius Mendacius greeted them and had them ultimately killed in gladiatorial games for being Christians. This sparked some action among a group of Senators who sent an envoy to Constantinople that met a tragic fate at the blades of Cnaeus's hired assassins. As Legio I Roma marched back through the city after their conquests in the South with the new goal of conquering Pisa, everything seemed fine for a few days. A corpse of a Roman messenger was brought to Roma by an Aquitani caravan who was subsequently executed. The messenger was martyred and the Romans hired heralds to spread news of his grisly death throughout all of Italia as a rallying cry against the Aquitani.
  
  Following the union with Roma, Marcus Tullius Bellatus took to the seas and brought many small coastal villages under the Republic. He traveled to Genoa and showered them with gifts with the intent of having Genoa and Milan join the Republic. The Milanese nobility and their subservient republic of Genoa agreed to joining the Republic and began travelling South to aid Legio I Roma in their conquest of Pisa and Florentia before traveling the Roma.
  
  Titus Julius Philologus the Younger took the city of Pisa before reinforcements were able to provide any aid. Aulus Sicarius Concio, a Pisan native, was put in charge of temporarily managing the city while Titus marched his legion East to Florentia.

  Military:
  All citizens of Roma are trained for the military in mandatory camps and serve for at least 2 years. Their uniform's take stylistic influence from old Roman armors and utilize Imperial Gallic helmets. Soldiers are equipped with carbines, handguns, ballistic shields, stick grenades, and gladii while cavalry are equipped with rifles and spatha. There are a few vehicles in use, but there are also lots of legitimate horses used. The city of Roma manages one legion, Legio I Roma, named after their reconquest of the city of Roma from mutants and barbarians.
  
  The soldiers of Neapolis are equipped with a ballistic shield, two stick grenades, a carbine, pistol, knife, and either a pick, axe, or shovel. As with Roma, they wear lorica segmentata or lorica hamata. Neapolis also manages a navy. Their legion is Legio I Mediterrania named for their battles on the sea.
  
  Typical soldiers from Mediolanum are equipped with armor, pikes, swords, and sometimes a cavalry carbine. The Vigiles Mediolanum are their elite soldiers consisting of 300 members with Cold War era weaponry. Their flagship is the Vindicta Sforzae which is a destroyer with old cannons replacing the broken artillery pieces. In addition to that, they have five frigates named Dominatio, Perniciosus, Ventus Bonum, Dux Victor, and Invicta.
  
  The Genoese have a standing army of 750 soldiers and a large militia. In addition to that they have one C1 Ariete tank and two Lupo Class frigates along with smaller civilian boats that can be converted into military vessels.
  
  Legions:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Weapons:
  
  Pompeii Gladius - The sword has parallel cutting edges and a triangular tip. This is the shortest of the gladii. It is often confused with the spatha, which was a longer, slashing weapon used initially by mounted auxilia. Over the years, the Pompeii got longer, and these later versions are called as semi-spathas. Blade length ~45–50 cm (18–20 in). Sword length ~60–65 cm (24–26 in). Blade width ~5 cm (2.0 in). Sword weight ~700 g (1.5 lb) (wooden hilt).
  
  Spoiler: Image

  
  
  Pugio - Generally, it had a large, leaf-shaped blade 7" to 11" long and 2" or more in width. A raised midrib ran the length of each side, either simply standing out from the face or defined by grooves on either side. The tang was wide and flat initially, and the grip was riveted through it, as well as through the shoulders of the blade.
  
  Spoiler: Image

  
  
  Pilum - The pilum, consists of a long iron head with a small point, and a wood shaft. On the most common type, the bottom of the head widens into a flat tang, which is riveted into the widened top of the wood shaft. The second type has a socketed head, and a third type, less well-known, has a spike tang. Pilum heads are 14" to 30" long, with pyramidal or barbed points approximately 2" long. The iron shanks are about 1/4" thick near the point, swelling to approximately 1/2" at the base. The wood shaft is 7/8" to 1 1/8" in diameter and 4 to 5 feet long, making the complete weapon 5 1/2' to 7 1/2' in length. The butt is capped with a simple iron cone.
  
  Spoiler: Image

  
  
  Spatha - The spatha was a type of straight and long sword, measuring between 0.75 and 1 m (30 and 39 in), in use in the territory of the Roman Empire during c. the 1st to 6th centuries CE. Later swords from the 7th to 10th centuries, like the Viking swords, are recognizable derivatives, and sometimes subsumed under the term spatha.
  
  Spoiler: Image

  
  
  Plumbata - For distance darts must be thrown under arm. The standard short dart weighing around 120g achieves distance of around 80m. Those of 170g or even 200g can reach out to a respectable 70m, but have great penetrative power.

Bavarian Reich

History:
Just after the first news reports of nuclear weapon detonations around the world, the people of Munich went into a frenzy. Many people fled the city, others chose to stay behind and take shelter anywhere they can. After the bombs ceased to drop, the city will go silent, until one day.

A man by the name of Jochen Diederich arrives in Munich and founds a community within the city. His ideals are very reminiscent to those of fascism and has built his society upon them. As more people arrive in Munich, the size of Jochen's community, The Order of Munich, grows.

As time goes on a new community is founded; The People's Republic of Munich. The People's Republic was founded in close proximity to The Order, which causes tension to rise between them. Not too long after the founding of the People's Republic, both communities begin to build up their armed forces. The People's Republic build up a "worker's militia" as they called it. This militia was armed with old bolt action rifles from before the war and had no particular uniform, as the republic saw no need for them. The Order does the same, however instead of using guns from the old world, as they were relatively rare to come by, they build their own guns. The first gun design is a fully automatic SMG, whose appearance is very similar to that of the MP40. Der Heer, the armed forces of the Order, are being given this new gun to use, along with a grey colored uniform which comes along with a black helmet.

War soon breaks out between the two communities. The sound of gunfire filled the streets of Munich as both sides launched attacks on each other. The war was rather quick, only lasting a few weeks. The Order, thanks to their superior weaponry and equipment, wins the war. Now with no major competition, the Order expands to incorporate all of Munich and ambitiously renames itself the Bavarian Reich, Jochen Diederich as it's Fuhrer.

History
After confirmations of Nuclear Detonations, the Royal Family retreated to the Underground bunker under the Royal Palace of Madrid. The Executive and Legislative branch were unable to issue orders and the Royalty took over. They gave orders to the military to save as many assets as they can and to evacuate the citizens to the Underground shelters. The city was not hit by a nuclear bomb, but has still taken damage from detonations from other countries.

The Royalty officially announced the collapse of spain and created the Kingdom of Madrid. The people praised the royalty for taking quick action which saved their lives in whicg they decided to accep the Royal Family as their leader and savior. The Royalty's first action was Re-establishing the Legislative, Executive and Judiciary branch. The people were given the right to run for candidacy and to vote for candidates. The three branches was given the same authority as they had before the Nuclear war, but would still have to answer to the royalty. The Branches were re-established to create order and to prevent problems in logistics. Along with it, the Madrid Internal Security Force was also created. Education also continued in the underground shelter.

As time went on, the survivors emerged from their shelters and retook the city from the mutants. The MDF was then established to clear the city of impurities and safeguard it from threats outside. Many buildings were repaired, it included the Royal Palace of Madrid, a couple of buildings and schools. The citizens were relocated to apartments and Education in schools resumed. The Military also secured Power plants and Water sources to provide the buildings with electricity and water. Resurfacing also presented a problem about radiation, some people who were not careful enough has gotten sick. Medical stations then appeared all over the city.

Konungariket Sverige
(Kingdom of Sweden)

History: When the Bombs Fell the Recently Appointed Queen Victoria of Sweden found her country without leadership. The government had fallen while she was out in the countryside enjoying a holiday with her family. She intended to return to the Capitol once the radiation was deemed safe within the City. It was Thirty years before they decided to risk it, by then the Queen had died at age 72 and left her daughter Queen Estelle to rule and it was Estelle who then Championed the return to Stockholm. Queen Estelle was quietly Crowned on May 7th 2040, with conflicting views on the strength of the Royal Family and its ability to lead the people. The Royal Family had few supporters and merely kept control of the Palace and tried to keep out of external affairs. Discontent grew within the Royal Household, the Queen wasn't young anymore and yet it was clear she intended to do nothing. She was assassinated on June 19th 2071 at the age of 58. Her Daughter, Queen Christina, loudly proclaimed her claim to the Swedish throne. On July 5th she took control of many areas of the chaotic City and showed that she was strong and willing to rule. On August 2nd a broad coalition of different groups in Stockholm attempted to reclaim the city. Both sides lost a fair amount to the conflict but until then many citizens remained independent of both. Once the Royal Victory was announced to all, many aligned themselves with the Queen in return for promises of safety and an eventual return to the ways that were before the war. The Royal Palace was one of only a handful of large buildings that survived the bombing but soon work was underway to rebuild the city to turn the Craters into houses and other uses of the derelict space. It was taking time but month by month the Queen was finding her rule far more official then it felt only a few years prior.

Unified Baltic States Of Livonia

History:
During the war the Baltic States got the least of the initial terror. Few bombs fell in them, but what was clear is that fallout was going to come, sooner or later. As people saw how the fallout would move huge migrations occurred and many started on their way to Pärnu, a city which not only recently had a strange project for multiple large bunkers to be set up, but also would've been relatively untouched by the coming atomic weather. Many people, Estonians, Latvians and even Lithuanians, who tried to reach the town died on the way, as the chaos in both countryside and town was great.
The few that got there, along with any surviving native Pärnu citizens changed the city drastically. Surviving the worst of the fallout underground, they soon set up farms on the surface world, as the radiation had barely damaged the ground around the town. Still, with a population times lower than the population of capital cities around them, Pärnu's people stayed few.

Reborn Germania

Symbol/Flag:


History:
Berlin was left in shambles after the nuclear attacks. The survivors that had once remained hidden in underground shelters soon began battling for control of the small district of buildings left untouched by the bombs. Many gangs and organizations were formed, and battles raged across the city. For years, people struggled to survive. Those who managed to make a living had whatever good they had taken by the various gangs that infested Berlin. Tradition and culture barely survived as Berlin destroyed itself from the inside out. However, one organization known as the Fist began to seep rate themselves from their rivals in terms of power and influence. It wasn't long before all of Berlin was under their control. Their leader, Franz Weirzmann no longer saw themselves as an organization vying for power, but a government. One ready to protect its people at all costs.

The Fist began building up Berlin from the ground up. Utilizing the the scraps of destroyed buildings to create new ones to give their people a home. They then began to support and protect farmers that lived near Berlin. Now that farmers were no longer being harassed by thugs, they were able to produce food for Berlin. Eventually, farmers began to hire people to work the lands, increasing their production of food. The farmers would travel to Berlin on occasion to collect or trade for scrap material in exchange for food. The scrap was usually collected by individuals known as scrappers. Scrappers would travel around Berlin gathering anything that could be made into something useful. This was often metal, wood, and occasionally, valuables. After the scrap is sold to or traded to farmers, the farmers would bring the scrap to manufacturers who would eventually make tools, equipment, and sometimes weapons for farmers and other citizens who have enough scrap to trade. With a trade based system, Berlin has no currency. The military receives their weapons and equipment for a low to free cost as well. However, when the scrap runs out in Berlin, people will have to find new red courses to trade. What it would be is still unknown.

With their new nation growing, Franz decided it was time to make it official. Franz named himself to dictator of Reborn Germania. The Fist supported him, and became the nations government. The people of Berlin did not support the new leader, but were content with the protection that was provided to them. Having been a city normally avoided, the people of Berlin had been isolated from most outer influence and interaction for quite some time. What lay in wait for the new nation worried Franz quite a bit. It became apparent that he was rather overzealous when it came to protecting his people.

Now, Reborn Germania is looking to expand and grow. They are confident in the military strength, and stability of their nation.

The military still retains gang like characteristics in the way that they are ruthless and unforgiving. A few motocycles and trucks were restored, and are used to get messages from point A to point B as fast as possible. Germania's military has no naval presence in the slightest. The city of Berlin is quite heavily defended, but everything outside of a Berlin has minimum protection.

A few hundred soldiers receive special training and use much more covert tactics. They report directly to Franz, and are intended for defensive use primarily. These special soldiers are known as Franz's' Fists. Most use weapons from before the war, and can use them well. In Berlin, however, they a simply a rumor.

Empire of Aquitaine

History: Most of France's known urban cities such as Paris was hit very hard by the bombs in the year of 2025 from the nuclear war. The city of Bordeaux was one of the few French cities not to be mostly hit by nuclear attacks but the nuclear fallout affected the city which mostly people in Bordeaux died from radiation poisoning. Government officials in the city of Bordeaux was force to evacuate into the underground subway. 25% of Bordeaux population survived the nuclear fallout.

Decades later, many people in the underground lose hope that the civilization have ended and the nation of France no longer exists and many people believed that they are the "last French people" to survive in this nuclear catastrophic and it is believed that the remnants of government officials in Bordeaux are the sole French government remnants in the world. In the underground, the Republic of Aquitaine was formed in 2042 by a government official remnant.

Ten years later, as the radiation outside soon died out, people began to leave underground subway and reclaim the surface which they sucessfully reclaim the city of Bordeaux. The new generation of Aquitain people who claimed themselves as the "last French people" which later became the "descendants of French people" have begun populating the city. Soon, political parties began to rise such as the
Aquitaine Fête Républicaine (the Republican Party) and
Aquitaine parti conservateur (the Conservative Party). The Republic of Aquitaine was peaceful and democratic until a man named "Enzo Moreau" who claimed himself as a descendant of Eleanor of Aquitaine created his own political party called the Aquitaine Imperial National Party and most of the people shifted their support to the new party as they want change in the country and then the new party became one of the largest political parties in Aquitaine, soon, their leader Enzo Moreau orchestrated a coup de'tat which was a sucess. Enzo became the new leader of Aquitaine and he declared himself as "Emperor of Aquitaine" which led the establishment of Empire of Aquitaine and the House of Moreau. Some of democratic rights was abolished by Emperor Enzo and imposed laws that is somehow fascistic.

After that, the Empire expands, subjugating nearby settlements on sight and killed many bandits as they can. Now, the Empire of Aquitaine controls the former Gironde department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.

Name:
The union of Pionerskaya

Flag:

Spoiler: Flag

The flag is utterly massive, so I had to place it within a spoiler.

History:
during the nuclear war which destroyed the world in 2025, a lucky few of the previous moscow inhabitants fled to the underground metro for safety against pure obliteration. The majority which couldn't escape were simply killed by the detonations, leaving fewer to escape. Some people died on the way or while fleeing to the underground, while a lucky few would have escaped deep into the safest points of the metro. A number of survivors had fled and sealed themselves within the safety of the line, and waited out the downfall of humanity from within their stations. In 2027 the inhabitants opened themselves to the outside world and explored the rest of the metro of their line.

After a few days of exploring the surface, nobody had returned besides one man, who described the horrors of the surface before dying from severe wounds from some unknown creature. Years later, in 2030... The republic of alexander was formed, and the entire line was soon claimed by the republic and industrialization was attempted. Soon mutants started filling the line, murdering the inhabitants without much retaliation and causing chaos within the infrastructure. One by one the stations fell until eventually the primary tunnel was destroyed in an attempt to block out the mutant threat, and hermetic doors were yet again sailed, one within the tunnel should it have the mutants find a way through.

Eventually industrialization efforts within 2031 were successful, and a primitive form of firearms combined with prewar assets were given to the population to deal with the threat, and surviving prewar military members would train the grunts for a mutant purge. The back most hermetic door was opened and the mutant threat was combated. The threat was temporarily removed from the line, however after a few months the threat reemerged. More of the line had fallen and eventually with it, the republic had fallen as well. The leadership structure was destroyed by intense riots and revolutions, eventually rendering the survivors as bandits, traders, or rogue personnel hiding within the line, and a rare few exploring the surface, being incapable of moving from a small location due to intensive radiation... Eventually, a way to access the rest of the metro would have been formed by digging through parts of the blocked tunnel, having formed heavy defensive measures beforehand.

In the year of 2032, a young woman who excelled in the old military and facing the horrors of the world, Duscha Petrovna, would begin planning a reunification of the surviving line. She had started by first scouting the surface, and finding a rare few things such as somewhat ruined books and detached engine parts. Eventually from doing work across pionerskaya station, she had become well known and respected, even removing mutant nests by herself which would of resulted in the end of the entire line. She then worked into removing bandits from the entire line, and reopening the stations to eachother. After the bandit problem was solved, she would then begin executing other threats to her goal. One being a fascist, one political opponent which was a extremist and fought another political member which supported communism, and another which wanted to reform the older republic. After all of her opponents were removed, she pinned the blame upon a trader group deeper within the line, within krylatskoe and had sent a group of 3 soldiers to have them arrested. Once all of her opposition had been removed, risk of her past involvement in removing them was out of the picture, and the main station had been further populated and manned, The union of pionerskaya was formed.

After 2033 - 2040, the entire line had been sealed and extreme forms of oppression had then been utilized. Stalinism had been followed for the government, supporting the majority of views with some differences. Collective farming for 70% of the line had also been enacted, while the rest would be monitored for later uses. Soon propaganda viewing petrovna as a hero of the entire line had filled the majority of the line, A new flag was designed in a simplistic fashion while still displaying their might, and eventually the population would submit to her every word. The military had lost alot of it's technology and members, but a few prewar military personnel had survived along with some gear. Orders were made to keep up on military training, however the military would have different stages to learn, known as the "stages of soldiery" which gave veterans much more knowledge and training, while grunts were trained the basics with a slight occasional exception based on field training. Eventually opening again to the metro while still remaining isolationist and never openly discussion the line's existence.​

Petrovna had 3 children which 2 were high ranks in the military and 1 was a surface explorer, referred to as a stalker. One of her children at the age of 30 had been killed during the mutant purge, and his sister, age 26, was to replace him as a first lieutenant soon afterwards. While having stopped visiting the rest of the metro, the union's inhabitants rely more on industrialization, plantations including the "station plantation", and traps to keep their existence unknown. Traps having littered the line they had once inhabited, ways to the surface having been sealed unless needed, and the tunnel leading to the abandoned stations was blocked again, however hidden "side paths" which are incredibly dangerous have been made to allow any traders or other authorized personnel out to explore the rest of the metro. Petrovna had always said that her dream was to eventually leave this hell to the surface, and reclaim saint petersburg for her people should it still exist. Having no way to actually get there on their own, this has so far only been a unobtainable dream.

Soon after the other lines were thought to of "collapsed" [Actually being absorbed by the moscow union.] The inhabitants of the union of pionerskaya were quick to permanently seal off the line, blocking the entrance to the abandoned station of FILI from the rest of the metro. Eventually expanding back into it, and clearing out the skeletons of those murdered by mutants. Due to a lack of prewar ammunition for prewar firearms, the weapons are not used besides for defending the leader of the union or for defending zones necessary for the survival of the line. The current leader of the pionerskaya union is Anastasia Petrovna, and it is planned for the youngest family member, Natasha Petrovna, to take the lead of command once she comes of age.

The current leader of the union after a few years, would have slowly but surely changed the government system to a form of capitalism, with communist/socialist aspects kept intact to prevent chaos. Most of these aspects are primarily in smaller things for morale such as propaganda, the flag, and uniform, while some exist in the military as well. Due to no outside interference, the changes were quite successful however and the dream for saint petersburg was kept intact.


Government:
Primarily capitalist with views of imperialism and stalinism.

Strengths:
Considerable industrialization, built-up infrastructure, average economy, morale, military loyalty, excellent knowledge of traps and use of the environment.

Weaknesses:
Not a too outstanding economy, Some of the line has exposure to the surface or has radiation, poorly equipped military and a below average training, some parts of the line are disconnected from the other, most of the line is left looking like it is in ruin to further the goal of isolation, the line is sealed off permanently besides to the outside world, Prewar equipment has a lack of prewar ammunition and the firearms are rarer, remaining nests of mutants hidden within and deeper in the line. Lethal surface radiation.

Resources:
vodka, mushrooms, fungi, small arms ammunition, fish, coal, tea, scrap, timber, some iron, steel.

Food and water in finer detail:
-Water
-Vodka
-Rats
-Mushrooms [they have an hell of a lot of these.]
-Insects
-Mutants....

Population: (Real World/50)
17,000

Military:
2,420 soldiers,
300 in the death corps, a branch of the military with the most training and equipment, sent in to destroy, capture, recover, or defend. Some in the corps are also field officers... [Can be armed with basically anything.]

500 shock troops, [Armed with bastard guns, knives, a ashot, or they can be armed with a shotgun type, a knife, and a revolver.]

1,070 conscripts, [Armed only with a bastard gun and a single or rarely two entire magazines, it is expected for them to fire all of their bullets into the enemy. However, some conscripts choose to save some of their ammunition and use ammo they find.]

50 of the stalker core, spetsnaz-styled troops also being dedicated stalkers, only given the most training and only a slight increase in arsenal. They are the commanders of a large amount of troops in the military, while some operate as snipers. [Can be armed with the preved, shotguns, revolvers, throwing knives, a ashot, or RPK-74.]

500 Union guard, Armed with a bastard gun, a knife, and either a ashot [and while able to save ammo which also functions as currency, makes you have to go closer range or use a longer ranged weapon.] Or a revolver. Due to most soldiers in the class wanting to save ammunition, the majority choose the ashot and risk certain death. Some union guards are from other branches of the military, whether for pay, genuine reasoning, or other.

Weapons used are as the following:
Bastard gun, for the fact of the close quarters usage and the large magazine in the side of the weapon. However, it is prone to alot of jamming. [Primary.] Trench knives, [Also used as bayonets.] Throwing knives, a rare few [42] AK-74Ms, uboinik shotguns, 5 preved rifles [even if they are modified to have five rounds, they reload very slowly.], revolvers, duplet close range shotguns, ashot pistol, A rare few RPK-74s [10], A variety of makeshift traps, even going up to the complex rebar-log trap is known by some personnel depending on rank.
All of the metro's weaponry [Ex: bastard gun, uboinik, revolver, ashot, etc.] are made after the war, and thus all of them are prone to jamming and breakdowns. However, the bastard gun is known for having the most problems. While the revolver and preved are the least known for breakdowns, but the preved can jam alot more.
Despite most weapons and armor having been damaged, or destroyed during the massive purges against the mutants, Some rare few suits and vests are available with only the very best high ranked officials having access to them.

Vehicles are as following:
handcarts, [Used for transportation of people and supplies throughout the line. They are made primarily of wood and are easy to make, however the majority are refit utility cars.]
10 railcars,
Bikes,
militarized cycles.
The railcars and cycles use recovered engine parts from prewar vehicles, and run off of regular fuel.

Spoiler: References

[Handcart]

A railcycle, as named by the pionerskaya union.Also referred as a railbike...

[Except without the machinegun.] The railcar. A design ripoff from what was found in the rest of the metro. It copies the militarized cycle with the turret. The engine however, is placed in the back.

[Except without the machinegun.] The militarized railcycle is essentially the same as the unmilitarized edition, except with a turret in the passenger car which protects the occupant while allowing rotation and firing.

The Union of Old London



History:
Quite obvious in its name. The old city of scarred England has yet remained sturdy - even after everything had been thrown at it. A perfect establishment that could birth the saviours of England, and potentially bond the United Kingdom once more. That's where the Union of Old London came in. About 43 years ago, to be precise.

The only faction in the city with enough numbers to maintain the law, and the right people to see it reinforced. It was no wonder why their popularity grew so much. It was the only organisation suited to lead an entire city.

It only took a total of 7 months for the Union to assume control over the entirety of Old London. It's use of superior tactics drove out the bandit groups, and its understanding on how to rebuild from the ashes of England's soil brought many who were willing to make a difference together.

Though it's origins remain unknown and unchecked, it is believed that the group is an extension of the former government of the Old World. A small pocket that waited ever so patiently until it was fully prepared to reassume power. That would explain the groups deep knowledge of the former British Armed Forces, alongside separate fields of Engineering, Architecture and many more technical skills and understandings.

Government:
Socialist Democracy

Strengths:
+ A well organised and effectively trained paramilitary force.
+ Understandings in advanced fields.
+ A unified and proud public.
+ An exceptionally developed economical infrastructure.

Weaknesses:
- Strict and suspicious towards strangers.
- Levels of potentially hazardous radioactive obstacles located around the city.
- Unwilling to share its secrets with other factions.

Resources:
= Various munitions.
= Vehicular transportation.
= Food, water and other basic necessities.
= Metals, wood and other such building resources - primarily salvaged from wreckages.
= Bastum - an alcoholic beverage recently produced by the London Brewery.

Population:
173,480

Military:
A total of 6,421 personnel form the entirety of the Union's combat military forces - 4,920 of which that fit into combat roles. The Union's military itself is officially known as the Armed Service Group; unofficially nicknamed Asgard.

The combat force is constructed by 6 separate military units known as the Regiments. Each Regiment is trained in accomplishing separate and specific tasks, though commonly relying on each other to complete their missions.

Military structure and training within the ASG follows closely to the now-extinct British Armed Forces - along with its standards and enlistment requirements.

A number of vehicles that reimagine the BAF's can be found within the Union's disposal; yet handled cautiously for their value to the ASG.

Infantry of the Armed Service are equipped with redesigns of the BAF's traditional munitions, varying from rifles to light machine guns and simple hand grenades to developed improvised explosives. Bullet proof protection is standard issue with a unique uniform to go under it.

The Union's most notable military asset would be the recommissioned HMS Belfast. However, over 100 years of existence - along with the initial bombardment of Old London during the Conflict - has required many of the vessel's weapon systems to be removed from the ship. This naval asset has also undergone extensive repairs just to make the ship operatable once again.

Territory:
Greater London.

Anthem:
God Save The Queen, in rememberance to the Old World.​

One such leader of one such gang, a man named Cardrall Portman had plans to unify a sort of govern from the start, and as Istanbul was his home town, he would start there. His plan was simple, yet extremely effective, using his gang he would anex smaller gangs, growing his population, eventually hitting large scale gangs, and eventually setting up his government in the city, now in control of about 3000 people to start, it would only be a year or two and his place would be on the map. After estlabishing his settlement and fortifying, the next step was building population, which was easy with the newly aquired equipment. He would send squads of people out into the wasteland, and would find people in communities of their own forcing them to return, but his biggest hits were bunkers and underground settlements. It was after about 10 years that a proper government was set up, and when policies were put into place, as in the type of government, who would lead, ect, things the people had no actual say so in.

The Republic of Neapolis
Flag:

History:

Roman Naples

The recorded history of the Naples (Italian Napoli) begins in the 7th century BC when the nearby Greek colony of Cumae founded a new city called Parthenope. Cumae itself had been founded by people from Euboea. Precisely why the inhabitants of Cumae decided to expand is not known for certain, but the Cumaeans built Neapolis (the "New City") adjacent to the old Parthenope. At about the same time, they had warded off an invasion attempt by the Etruscans. The new city grew thanks to the influence of the powerful Greek city-state of Syracuse in Sicily and at some point the new and old cities on the Gulf of Naples merged to become a single inhabited nucleus.

Naples became an ally of the Roman Republic against Carthage. The strong walls of Naples held off Hannibal. During the Samnite Wars, the city, now a bustling centre of trade, was captured by the Samnites. However, the Romans soon took it from them and made Neapolis a Roman colony. Neapolis was greatly respected by the Romans as a place of Hellenistic culture. The people maintained their Greek language and customs, and elegant villas, aqueducts, public baths, a theatre and the Temple of Dioscures were built. A number of Roman emperors, including Claudius and Tiberius, maintained villas in or near Naples. It was during this period that Christianity came to Naples, and the Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul are said to have preached here. St. Januarius, who would become Naples' patron saint, was martyred here.

The Duchy of Naples

Following the decline of the Western Roman Empire, Naples was captured by the Ostrogoths and incorporated into the Ostrogothic Kingdom. However, the Byzantine general Belisarius recaptured Naples in 536, after famously entering the city via the aqueduct. The Gothic Wars raged on, and Totila briefly took the city for the Ostrogoths in 543, before, finally, the Battle of Mons Lactarius on the slopes of Vesuvius confirmed Byzantine rule. Naples remained in contact with the Exarchate of Ravenna, which was the centre of Byzantine power on the Italian peninsula. After the exarchate fell, a Duchy of Naples was created. Although Naples continued with its Greco-Roman culture, it eventually switched allegiance under Duke Stephen II to Rome rather than Constantinople, putting it under papal suzerainty by 763.

The years between 818 and 832 were a particularly confusing period in regard to Naples' relation with the Byzantine Emperor, with feuding between local pretenders to the ducal throne. Theoctistus was appointed without imperial approval. This was later revoked and Theodore II took his place. However, he was driven from the city by a popular uprising and replaced by Stephen III, a man who minted coins with his own initials, not those of the Byzantine Emperor. Naples gained complete independence by 840.

The duchy was under direct control of Lombards for a brief period, after the capture by Pandulf IV of the Principality of Capua, long term rival of Naples. However this only lasted three years before the culturally Greco-Roman influenced dukes were reinstated. By the 11 C, like many territories in the area, Naples hired Norman mercenaries, the Christian descendants of the Vikings, to battle their rivals. Duke Sergius IV hired Rainulf Drengot to fight Capua for him. By 1137, the Normans had grown hugely in influence, controlling previous independent principalities and duchies such as Capua, Benevento, Salerno, Amalfi, Sorrento and Gaeta. It was in this year that Naples, the last independent duchy in the southern part of the peninsula, came under Norman control. The last ruling duke of the duchy, Sergius VII, was forced to surrender to Roger II, who had proclaimed himself King of Sicily seven years earlier. This saw Naples joining the Kingdom of Sicily, where Palermo was the capital.

The Kingdom of Naples

After a period as a Norman kingdom, the Kingdom of Sicily passed under the Hohenstaufens, the powerful Germanic royal house of Swabian origin. The University of Naples was founded by Frederick II in the city, making it the oldest state university in the world and Naples the intellectual centre of the kingdom. Conflict between the Hohenstaufen house and the Papacy led, in 1266, to Pope Innocent IV crowning the Angevin Duke Charles I as King. Charles officially moved the capital from Palermo to Naples where he resided at the Castel Nuovo. During this period much Gothic architecture sprang up around Naples, including the Naples Cathedral, which is the main church of the city.

In 1282, after the Sicilian Vespers, the kingdom split in half. The Angevin Kingdom of Naples included the southern part of the Italian peninsula, while the island of Sicily became the Aragonese Kingdom of Sicily. The wars continued until the peace of Caltabellotta in 1302, which saw Frederick III recognised as King of the Isle of Sicily, while Charles II was recognised as the King of Naples by Pope Boniface VIII. Despite the split, Naples grew in importance, attracting Pisan and Genoese merchants, Tuscan bankers, and with them some of the most renowned Renaissance scholars and artists of the time, including Boccaccio, Petrarch and Giotto. In the middle of the 14 C, the Hungarian Angevin King Louis the Great captured the city. Alfonso I conquered Naples after his victory against the last Angevin king, René, and Naples was unified with Sicily again for a brief period.

Masaniello the Revolutionary

Sicily and Naples were separated in 1458 but remained as dependencies of Aragon under Ferrante. The new dynasty enhanced Naples' commerce by establishing relations with the Iberian peninsula. Naples also became a centre of the Renaissance, with artists such as Laurana, da Messina, Sannazzaro and Poliziano arriving in the city. During 1501, Naples became under direct rule from France at the time of Louis XII, and the Neapolitan King Frederick was taken as a prisoner to France. This lasted only four years. Spain won Naples at the Battle of Garigliano and, as a result, Naples fell under the direct rule of the Spanish Empire throughout the entire Spanish Habsburg period. The Spanish sent viceroys to Naples to deal directly with local issues. The most important of these was Pedro Álvarez de Toledo, who was responsible for considerable social, economic and urban progress in the city. He also supported the Inquisition.

During this period, Naples was second only to Paris in size among European cities. It was a cultural powerhouse during the Baroque era as home to artists including Caravaggio, Rosa and Bernini, philosophers such as Telesio, Bruno, Campanella and Vico, and writers such as Battista Marino.

A revolution led by local fisherman, Tommaso Aniello, known as Masaniello, saw the creation of a brief independent Neapolitan Republic, though this lasted only a few months before Spanish rule was reinstated. In 1656, the plague killed about half of Naples' 300,000 inhabitants. Finally, by 1714, the Spanish ceased to rule Naples as a result of the War of the Spanish Succession. It was the Austrian Charles VI who ruled from Vienna, similarly through the medium of viceroys. However, the War of the Polish Succession saw the Spanish regain Sicily and Naples, which under the Treaty of Vienna, were recognised as independent in 1738 under a cadet branch of the Spanish Bourbons in the person of Charles VII.

Ferdinand, the Bourbon King

During the time of Ferdinand IV, the French Revolution made itself felt in Naples. Nelson, an ally of the Bourbons, even arrived in the city in 1798 to warn against it. However, Ferdinand was forced to retreat and fled to Palermo, where he was protected by a British fleet. Naples' lower classes, the Lazzaroni, were strongly pious and Royalist, favouring the Bourbons. In the mêlée that followed, they fought the Neapolitan pro-Republican aristocracy, fermenting a civil war. The Republicans conquered Castel Sant'Elmo and proclaimed a Parthenopaean Republic, secured by the French Army. A counter-revolutionary religious army of Lazzaroni known as the Sanfedisti was raised and led by Fabrizio Ruffo. They had great success and the French surrendered the Neapolitan castles and were allowed to sail back to Toulon.

Ferdinand IV was restored as king. However, after only seven years Napoleon conquered the kingdom and installed Bonapartist kings, including his brother Joseph Bonaparte. With the help of the Austrian Empire and its allies, the Bonapartists were defeated in the Neapolitan War and the Bourbon Ferdinand IV once again regained the throne and the kingdom. The Congress of Vienna in 1815 saw the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily combined to form the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, with Naples as the capital city. In 1839, Naples became the first city on the Italian peninsula to have a railway and there were many factories throughout the kingdom making it a highly important trade and industry centre.

Naples since Unification

Following Garibaldi's Expedition of the Thousand, culminating in the Siege of Gaeta, Naples joined the Kingdom of Italy as part of the Italian unification in 1861, ending Bourbon rule. The kingdom of the Two Sicilies had been wealthy and 80 million ducats were taken from the banks as a contribution to the new Italian treasury, while other former states in the Italian unification were forced to pay far less. The economy of the area formerly known as Two Sicilies collapsed, leading to an unprecedented wave of emigration, with estimates claiming that at least four million of those who left for the north and abroad between 1876–1913 were from Naples or near Naples.

During World War II, Naples was more heavily bombed than any other Italian city. Although the Neapolitans did not rebel against Italian fascism, Naples was the first Italian city to rise up against German military occupation, liberation being achieved by 1 October, 1943. The symbol of the rebirth of Naples was the rebuilding of Santa Chiara which had been destroyed during an Allied air raid.

Special funding from the Italian government's Fund for the South from 1950 to 1984 helped the economy to improve somewhat, including the rejuvenation of the Piazza del Plebiscito and other city landmarks. Though at many points through out the 20th century it was a crumbling city around the year of 2020 the city of Naples was rejuvenated as a tourist hot spot and a major port for Italy. By 2025 it was extremely integral to Italy's economy.

After the War

The destruction of the city of Naples and the surrounding area forced most of them to operate underground, with those who were in most control of the citizens: boaters and pirates. After many years of their unstable life most of the boaters and pirates formed a coalition to unite Naples, to do this they looked to the past in order to invoke a sort of pride, they looked towards Rome, by 2049 the Republic of Neapolis was born in the ashes of Naples.

After years of stabilizing the city and raising a military The senate of Neapolis voted Marcus Tullius Bellatus as their Dictator as he controlled the Military, a man of 35 Tullius is a popular leader of Neapolis, he has captured many slaves and funded 3 games and 5 chariot races. The people support him as do the Soldiers, he even has some support within the Senate. In 2050 the Republic of Neapolis became part of the newly resurrected Roman Republic.

The soldiers of Neapolis are equipped with a ballistic shield, two stick grenades, a carbine, pistol, knife, and either a pick, axe, or shovel. As with Roma, they wear lorica segmentata or lorica hamata. Neapolis also manages a navy. Their legion is Legio I Mediterrania named for their battles on the sea.

Ballistic Shield: shields designed to stop or deflect bullets fired at their carrier. These sheilds are painted as Ancient Rome would've painted them.

Carbines: SMLE Mk III- The iconic Lee–Enfield rifle, the SMLE Mk III, was introduced on 26 January 1907, along with a Pattern 1907 (P'07) sword bayonet and featured a simplified rear sight arrangement and a fixed, rather than a bolt-head-mounted sliding, charger guide. The design of the handguards and the magazine were also improved, and the chamber was adapted to fire the new Mk VII High Velocity spitzer .303 ammunition. Many early model rifles, of Magazine Lee–Enfield (MLE), Magazine Lee–Metford (MLM), and SMLE type, were upgraded to the Mk III standard.

Stick Grenade: The Stielhandgranate was a unique design, as it utilized a priming system unlike many others of it time. The easily recognizable "potato masher" shape is a result of a number of different styles and choices of the design. The grenade mounted a charge head within a steel sheet (in appearance similar to that of a slightly thinner tin can) case mounted atop a long hollow wooden handle. Internally, the explosive filler (approximately 170 grams of Trinitrotoluene filling) was connected to a detonator, a pull cord ran from the detonator down the length of the hollow stalk to the base. This cord was attached to a small porcelain ball, which was held within the base by a steel cover cap. To use, a soldier would unscrew the cap, pull the ball and thereby the cord downwards, dragging a rough steel rod through the igniter within the fuse. The rod's abrasive contact would cause sparks and a flame to light from within, setting the fuse burning. This fuse took approximately four and a half seconds to reach the detonator before exploding.
The Stielhandgranate's handle design provided a lever motion in a throw, significantly improving the effective range of which it could be used. It could be thrown by the common German infantryman approximately 27 metres (30 yd) to 37 metres (40 yd), whereas the British Mills bomb, could often only be thrown about 14 metres (15 yd) The British War Office report "WO 291/472 Performance and handling of HE grenades" gives an average figure for a standing throw of a Mills bomb as 27 metres (30 yd), when crouched 23 metres (25 yd) and lying prone 22 metres (24 yd)). One issue that often cursed hand grenades of the time was the unpredictable path it could roll once it had landed. The German Stielhandgranate does not suffer nearly as much (and in some respects not at all) to this problem as the handle acted together with the metal charge head to resist rolling. Instead of rolling straight down a hill or across rough terrain, the Stielhandgranate could create an axis for rotation (simply put, it would instead roll side to side, due to the fact that the charge head and length of the grenade acted as balance. However, the additional length of the handle, as well as the irregular overall shape, meant that fewer grenades could be carried.
The Stielhandgranate primarily relied on a concussion blast effect from the charge, the container creating little fragmentation compared with many grenades of the time, such as the Mills Bomb and the French F1 Grenade, as well as the later Second World War American Mk 2 grenade, and the Soviet F1 Grenade. Fragmentation was relied on more as the shrapnel produced could wound enemy infantry in a decently large area. This factor made them very good for open areas, such as fields, expanse of No Man's land (the horrific area between the front lines during the First World War. Nomansland was often once a city, town, or simply farmland, but reduced to nothing but craters, mud, and barbed wire), beaches, spacious trenches, and wide city streets. Concussion grenades, on the other hand, based their wounding ability purely on the shock and blast of the explosives of the hand grenade. The Stielhandgranate was extremely effective, and reliable in clearing tight areas, such as buildings, fortifications, and in the case of the later stages of the First World War, even the occasional fighting compartment of an enemy tank. On the other hand, performance in wide open areas was far less than satisfactory. The blast effect could only go so far before dying out, while pieces from an equivalent fragmentation grenade could fly hundreds of meters (it was not unrealistic to expect that metal shrapnel could hit a soldier that the grenade was not intended for, especially in open areas).

Pistol: Baretta 92- The Beretta 92's open slide design ensures smooth feeding and ejection of ammunition and allows easy clearing of obstructions. The hard-chromed barrel bore reduces barrel wear and protects it from corrosion. The falling locking block design provides good accuracy and operability with suppressors due to the in-line travel of the barrel. This is in contrast to the complex travel of Browning designed barrels. The magazine release button is reversible with simple field tools. Reversing the magazine release makes left-handed operation much easier.
Increasingly, it has become popular to reduce handgun weight and cost as well as increase corrosion resistance by using polymers. Starting around the year 2000, Beretta began replacing some parts with polymer and polymer coated metal. Polymer parts include the recoil spring guide rod which is now also fluted, magazine floor plate, magazine follower and the mainspring cap/lanyard loop. Polymer coated metal parts include the left side safety lever, trigger, and magazine release button.
This also spawned several variants of similar internal design. The Beretta 90two is a full-size variant of the 92-series with a redesigned slide and a redesigned aluminum frame with an internal recoil buffer, user changeable monogrips and an accessory rail

Knife: Extrema Ratio Fulcrum

Other Units:

Cavalry: Instead of using horses cavalry uses the old world military issue Cagiva Enduro T4 350cc motor bikes.

Auxillary troops use many different sorts of weapons, they are the Auxilary.

Vehicles:

They use the retired San Marco, which is not fully stocked nor fully manned, to defend their city.
And use old mine-hunter ships to move troops around.

History:
After the bombs hit and the population of brussels crammed into the metro and government shelters where a few of the population survived. Five years the people stayed this way as feeling of resent and anger began to build up. How had the government not seen the coming event? Then a radical conspiracy began to quickly burn through the tunnels with a fire stronger than any nuclear detonation. What if the government had known? What if they had made a deal so that the government officials would survive?

Within a few days an outraged people began to sing the song of revolution, vive la révolution, began to ring out through every corner of the tunnels. It was a loud and clamorous noise of battle that lasted for three days, then only silence could be heard from the Brussels metro.

Five years later a lone person could be seen poking their head outside, only to quickly scurry back inside.A few moments later a crowd of people flooded out of the underground and with them they carried the red banner of The Brussels Socialist Commonwealth.

The people of Brussels would spend the forty years after dealing with nuclear winter, cancer, strange deformed animals, and radiation storms. Where most would have given up they survived and in fact flourished.

History: When the bombs fell, St Petersburg was ready. Many survived in it's subways and bunkers. However, the government didn't. This led to the survivors emerging and immediately falling into anarchy, with gangs forming that ruled their territories by fear and collected food and water as taxes from it's people. This was until one gang was taken over by a former Colonel in the Russian military and historian by the name of Peter Zhukov. He used his tactical knowledge to defeat the other gangs and unite St Petersburg and the surrounding areas. After this, he secured the backing of the bishops of the local cathedrals and he had himself coronated Tsar(or Czar, they are used interchangeably) Peter I of a new Imperial Russia.

Prussian Socialist Soviet Republic

History:
The area once known as the kaliningrad oblast was inhabited by many germanic tribes that eventually when under threat from large raider group planning to kill,burn and loot the Kaliningrad Oblast so in response to this threat they united into the Kingdom of Prussia led by king Adolf Nerhum who defeated the raiders and defended the Kaliningrad Oblast valiantly but died in the process. In this period of uncertainty a young man Hermann Goebling yelled above the bickering tribe members and declared the Workers Revolution and everyone obeyed. And the Prussian SSR was formed.

The Prussian SSR hasen't done much except live on its own quietly defending off the occasional raider or tribe until Pomeranian Reich appeared. This evil fascist regime was ruled by fear and brute strength and they declared germans the master race (again) and sought to unite all the germans under the rule of the fuhrer. They declared war on the still young Prussian SSR. The war raged for 4 years and ended in the deaths of 2,000 people eventually the Volksarmee defeated the Pomeranian Forces in the Second Battle of Konigsberg and the Pomeranian Reich was annexed by the Prussian SSR. Then the Prussian SSR went back to work and continued to slowly expand.

Government: Federal Marxist–Leninist one-party constitutional socialist republic led by Hermann Goebling

Strengths:
COMMUNISM
Unwavering Loyalty to the Liberation of the worker
Waste not Want not (they don't waste much at all)

Weaknesses:
Small Population
Low Tech
Under equipped
(They don't have LIT SNIPER RIFLES they have cold war level weapons at best and only one in ten troops have a cold-war gun. most soldiers rely on either scavenged weapons,Improvised Fire Arms,Older guns and rifles and a few even rely on melee weapons like spears or swords)
e.g:

Resources: Moderately Large amounts of coal and raw iron. And they have potatoes and plenty of non-radioactive land to grow it in.
Population: (Real World/50) City: 8,970 Area: 18,837
Military: Der Volksarmee (The People's Army) Contains 1,500 Soldiers and can call upon 7,000 more as conscripts.Though poorly armed the Volksarmee is determined though determination usually doesn't beat superior fire power.However the soldiers are willing to die if needed to save the republic and save the people back home. And due to a lack of decent equipment,experienced leaders and veterans the soldiers have become resourceful meaning that sometimes they may just win.Led by Feldmarschell Hans Bergherhoff a decent but stingy leader but he keeps the army together so he is good enough for the job.The Maschinekarbiner Mk1 is the main weapon of the Volksarmee as the cheap semi-automatic weapon is easy to use and control plus it doubles as a handy bludgeon for beating someone's brains out. Though the Maschinekarbiner Mk 1 is the main weapon of the volksarmee only 1 in 10 uses it the others use older weapons like ww2 rifles etc or Improvised firearms like the popular "zip gun" which is easy to make and the ammo is widespread (and reusable).

Republican Protectorate of Genoa

History: Genoa escaped mostly unharmed from the apocalypse. The city was reorganized under a republican system that stayed mostly isolationist and stick to its own affairs. This changed when contact with Milan was established. Wanting the resources and protection of Milan, Genoa bent the knee and is currently a Milanese vassal, providing them tribute and the ability to build a navy in exchange for protection and trade benefits. The populace is overall content with this agreement, though some want full independence. The city is run from Portofino Palace, which is in a very defensible position that can really only be attacked by sea.
Government: Indirect democratic republic
Strengths: Naval prowess, extremely defendable terrain
Weaknesses: subservient to Milan
Resources: Fish, other seafood, textiles, extremely industrial overall
Population: 26,000
Military: 750 full time soldiers, as well as a militia of about 3,000 that mostly use civilian weaponry or even tools
1 C1 Ariete Tank
2 Lupo-class frigates

THE NEW KHANATE
(Also called the "Copper Khanate", Khanate Stage One, or the Copper Horde)
​

Flag:


History:

Influenced mainly in part by Asian settlers who fled from Mongolia to be safe from Chinese or Russian invasion, they have been silently building in the city of Bucharest for years since the nuclear war, mining in the countryside, preparing an army, getting ready to expand, with a Manifest Destiny of the entire continent of Europe...

The Great Kublai Khan II will rise...

HOW DID THE MONGOLIANS TAKE POWER?
The Mongolians arrived in a time of turmoil in the state of Bucharest, and through a mass campaign on uniting under the Khanate flag, Genghis Khan II camped outside the city with 5,000 Main Forces, and 10,000 Mongolian Citizens, all taken from Mongolia, and invaded with popular support. The city was taken with relative ease, as the only armed forces were nationalistic radicals and without popular support. The Main Force left, and left the 10,000 there, making the Mongolian Majority complete. The Great Genghis Khan left his son, Kublai Khan II, in charge of the New Mongolian State.

Since then, Kublai has focused on re-building the Industrial Base, and defending local Mines from Raiders, and the great "Khanate Hydroelectric" Plant on the Danube River

Nationalistic Austria​

History:
After the downfall of civilization as we knew, many gov't officials and civilians desperately did their best to get to all the available underground bunkers. Many however faced the unfortunate fate of death. One of the survivors who did manage to safely get himself to safety was a young man by the name of Joseph Dorn, who was a diligent young student at the university of Vienna. He was known to be a member of a military family and at a young age who had thought of himself of being in the wrong time period. His fascination of the 18th-early 19th century had fascinated him. The politics, the wars, the strategies, everything about those old times made him wish to go back and see what it was like. That wish however was granted when the bombs fell. He himself managed to get to the underground bunker with 200 other civilians and a couple military soldiers. His family however were taking a vacation in London and their fate is unknown. Time goes by and no one seemed to know what was going on outside, even the soldiers were found lost as they weren't given any specified orders of when to lead the civilians outside. ​

Eventually however Joseph decided to venture out into the city of Vienna, and to his surprise the sky was seen to be as clear as ever. The city itself however was barely recognizable. Joseph decided that this was the perfect chance to bring his dream to life, to bring back the glory of the past and lead the people of Austria to a new era of glory and prosperity. It took time, but eventually he convinced everyone within the bunker to come with him and start anew. Then he and the few soldiers that were around began to scout out the other underground bunkers. In the end only around 33,568 people overall were still alive within the city of Vienna. Weapons and parts of the modern day were either broken, low on spare parts, or simply didn't have any ammunition left. Raiders, bandits, and even other ideological/religious fanatics were swarming across the land. Joseph knew that it was now his time to shine, to persuade the whole populous that this was a new dawn for the rise of a new nation, a time for redemption, a time for reconstruction, and a time for expansion.

[Grammatic]

Name: New Macedonian Empire
Flag:

History: When the first bombs began to fall, the people of Athens were hardly the first target in the destructive war. Most people had plenty of time to get to shelter, within bunkers buried deep underground, before Greece was hit. However, contact was quickly lost with the other areas of the country, and the people of Athens were cut off from the outside world as they knew it. The mayor of Athens, the only last connection to leadership the survivors had, took charge quickly. He established himself as the sole leader of the near 660,000 survivors, using the police force of the former city as his enforcers.

He quickly fell into the use of brute force to do what he wanted, and the few people who spoke out against his increasingly harsh methods were silenced. After nearly a decade below ground, far longer than they had originally planed and stocked for, supplies began to run out. The mayor hoarded all the food and medicine into his personal area within the bunker complex, and left it under guard. starvation began to set in throughout the bunkers, and nearly 10% of the original survivors succumbed. This was the last tipping point, and a majority of the people rose up against the mayor. Unarmed though, and against the weapons of the police, many more were killed in the following battle. As a last desperate attempt to maintain power, the mayor detonated explosives along one of the routes to his bunker, burying hundreds of rebels alive. This also had the effect of allowing in contaminated and radiated air, killing thousands more. The mayor didn't survive in the end, and the few survivors of the rebellion fled deeper into the bunker complex, taking what supplies they could.

Years later, the survivors of the rebellion emerged. Led by a group of three rulers, the survivors entered Athens for the first time in decades, returning to homes if they had any, but most chose to stay together. The three rulers took the rank and title Tetriach for each of them, they began the process of reorganizing, and rebuilding the city as best they could with the available resources and manpower. After nearly a year above ground, the Tetriach's informed their people of their intention to rebuild the ancient empire of Macedonia, and establish a better future for the people of Athens. They organized a military, not with the 'modern' weapons of old were they armed, but with older variants of bolt action rifles, and a few muskets. The Tetriach's then led their military to begin the first expansion march.

The Belgrade Dominion (The Serbian Dominion)


History:
When the Event of 2025 happened, Belgrade was thankfully sparred from the devastation. None the less the nation collapsed and the remaining population, or those who could make it, went towards Belgrade. For half a year the city, asides from major electronic appliances and internet, still functioned with the Serbian government still in control of the city. However a nuclear winter set within the Balkans and the citizens had to brace for an unbearable cold and horrid weather for the next three years in an event now called the Black Winter. In those three years what remained of the Serbian government, last connection to the world before 2025, and swathes of citizens simply collapsed. For the next thirty years the city fell into civil disorder with numerous governments being set up to stabilize the city, but the longest of these governments lasted a year. These thirty years are called the Time of Fracture, when what remained of the population were almost always at odds. The city was divided into many states, the size of municipalities of the old city. After this era in the city's history, starting in 2058, a man from Novi Beograd named Stefan Trkulja started a campaign to reunite the city after it's very divisive history. For the next seven years, called the Time of Salvation, he and his followers went one by one to the other four Municipal districts in the city and conquered them. The finally in 2065, Belgrade was reunited into a singular city with Stefan now in charge. Rebellions against him went on for a further three years, but were suppressed reaffirming his control over the city. In 2070 he officially declared the Serbian Dominion, also called the Belgrade Dominion, and stated his intention to reunite the lands of the old Serbia in a speech he gave to his new city-state. For the next five years he and his military, the Armed Forces of the Dominion, scouted out the ares of the city and collected old equipment that were plentiful. After five years of bolstering his military and building a ten foot wall around the city limits, he is now prepared to do anything for Serbia.
