On theThe tribe of Hambre were mainly peaceful defending themselves only when attacked by a more aggressive tribe, Malita. Eventually they became fed up with the Malitans and decided to attack them back. The Hambrians, smarter than their Malitan brethren, sent in a spy to infiltrate the enemy. Their intel revealed the date of their next attack so the Hambrians set up traps and guerilla attacks. The Malitans fell into the attack perfectly and then they quickly counter attacked the closest village of Malitans. With ease they took the village. This made the Malitans think twice before attacking again, however this time the attack hid the kidnapping of the Cheiftans daughter. Angry with, well anger, the Chief gathered all warriors together to take raze another village. In response the Malitans tried to fight back but the voraciousness of the attack left the Malitans down. Village by village they systematically took down the Malitan "empire" and subujugated their people. The island was theirs for the few hundred years. During the years 753 C.E. to 1536 C.E. the Tribe of Hambria began to consolidate their power. First on the island they established order and began to build the infrastructure of the islands. Building roads, forts, and towns Isla Ocena became a veritable fortress. The king at that time, Dante Alegero, grew bored in his safe city walls and longed for adventure and war. The fledging country looked north to the vanguards of Southern Barbaria. Here the warriors were thought of godlike and immortal, Dante felt he was looking in the right place. The civilization began to build their ships of war and shape the beginning of the expansionest period. The war for Barbaria was a long one it lasted a total of seven years and it left the victors, Hambria, a slowly growing nation. But to get there they had to cross the Strait of Ocena which was full of rocks, broken ships, and the legend of the Sea Serpent. Approximately ten percent of the ships that crossed were lost to the strait. They landed on the southern most point, which is now Angita y Dieto, then it was a sleepy fishing village and the first strike in the attack of Barbaria. They slowly moved up the eastern coast and taking village after village. The Vanguards were notified and began marching to a mid sized named Brutue where the Hambrians were stationed. The first real challenge was presented here and both sides fought to a stale mate before a detachment moved to the rear and hamstringed the Vanguard. From here the Hambrians began to move to capital, done with playing around a full scale troop movement to a northern most city, the capital, which took a year in itself. The initial attack was a failure and forced the Army to go into a siege mode. After another full year the siege was broken when the Barbarians surrendered. However the warriors of the Hambria came in and lopped the head off of the King and ransacked the castle, taking numerous treasures back with them. To the south lay Soutica, a rural land mass near a growing Tiqsimuyu kingdom and farther south were a barbaric fair haired folk with a lilting tone. It was three hundred years since the last expansion into foreign lands and the distant relative of Dante, King Artemis Tonelli, grew bored much like his distant uncle and looked around to fight somebody. The wild folks to the south seem ripe for the pickings and they launched a full scale invasion to decimate they small budding civilization. Far above the small Souticans and the Hambrians was the Kataylabinsk Imperium. The expansionist empire looked to their south and saw a country with only their reserves left waiting to be called to battle. They mobilized their troops and began an attack on the empty Hambria. Their attacks with mounted elephants and warriors was quick and the Barbarian Peninsula was taken in no time. They crossed the strait and took the small Ocena after a few months. They went down to Soutica and cleaned up behind the Hambrian Army. The Nation of Hambria was under the Imperium's rule now, forced to join or die. With the Hambrian army decimated they had no choice as their own country of conquest was dissolved. As the years went by the Hambrian people slowly began to become fed up with their overlords, however they knew the waiting game had to be played. During this expanse of the years the Hambrian Revolt began to gain support from all over the old country and some even from farther north. In 1623 the first attack of the Revolt happened after many months of protest. In Ocena the old palace was taken back after a sneak attack by trained soldiers and this brave attack encouraged more revolts across the entire Imperium. Flash forward two years and the entire Island of Ocena and the less fortified region of Soutica was taken back as well as coastal areas of Barbaria. Closer to the capital lay corruption and scandal as the country was tearing itself apart, slowly approaching a civil war the Kataylabinsk Imperium sent down the full force of their Army. Pulling back a tactic of the past they entrenched themselves and fought back with guerrilla warfare and after two more years of fighting the war weary Kataylabinskian Army withdrew themselves to deal with themselves. In 1676 the Armistice was signed and the two nations were separated once again. In the next 250 odd years the nation focused more on its industry, tourism, and mining as they slowly rebuilt their precious metal backed economy. [b]Race:[/b] Humans, in the north (San Barbarbia)and on the island (Isla Ocena) the people generally have naturally tanned skins and dark hair. In the South (Soutica) the people are fair skinned and have lighter hair. However through out time other races with love have gravitated in. [b]Form of Government:[/b] The Hambrian Republic is aptly named due to the fact it is a republic. That means the government official are elected by the people for the people by process of voting. Popular sovereignty is the principle that the authority of the government is created and sustained by the consent of its people, through their elected representatives, who are the source of all political power. This belief is taken very seriously by the people who make it clear who runs the nation. -Four Branches, Presidential, Senate, Military, Congress -Members of the senate have a 10 year term -President has a 10 year term -Members of Congress serve till death [b]Current Leader:[/b] President Roman Salvatore [b]Notable People:[/b] Mario Berziogni- Head of Military Branch Danilo Gallineri - Head of Agricultural Decisions Rodrigo Verde - Head of Science and Knowledge Raefiel Gidare - Head of International Affairs Tim Puzo - Head of Domestic Affairs [b]Total Population:[/b] 50,000,001 [b]Nation Location:[/b] [img]http://i.imgur.com/DfwDGmc.png[/img] [b]Nation Geography:[/b] In San Barbaria the ground is hot and humid, but it home to a rainforest in the center and a reserve of oil that should last to the early 2000's if the population growth isn't exponential. Isla Ocena is home to a dormant volcano and it is full of tropical and other wise exotic fruits. In the south, Soutica is home to plains of wheat and corn as well as coal and precious metal mines to the north and south. [b]Economy:[/b] The Hambrian Republic has a mixed economy which means there are both privately and publically owned businesses. They seek to keep economic growth high while keeping inflation and unemployment down. Their main exports are Exotic fruits, iron, Copper, Coal, fish and Assassino Fegeto, a strong liquor distilled from the Beri Beri Berry. Trading keeps the Nation of Hambria afloat economically while they sustain themselves agriculturally and industrially almost flawlessly. However they need to import Elektrum Steel for military reasons. The economy relies on bills or Lyres, which are offered in 1 5 10 20 25 50 Lyre variants. Coins are offered in Half Lyre, Quarter Lyre, and Tenths. Lyres are backed by Tugnernis, which is an incredibly hard and rare substance. [b]Rare Materials:[/b] Tugneris, a extremely hard and strong metal with low malleability. [b]Technological Overview:[/b] The technology is on par with the rest of the world seeing as it has no need for a major technological sector. Radios were invented by a scientist from Hambria thus allowing radios to be common place in many home. Other technology common throughout homes ranges from refrigerators to cars. The navy of the Hambrian Republic is quite advanced due to the need to hold the bottle neck to the northern ocean. The air force is sadly sub par and only has 25 Airships. The Army is average and contains the carbines as well as a 5 squadrons of tanks per region(Ocean, Barbaria, Soutica,). Radar Towers are implemented on the coast lines and to the north near Kataylabinsk. [b]Interesting Facts:[/b] Has a cult called the Cult of Dad. The cult leader's name is Dad Dad, when others say, "Hello Mr. Dad?" Then, he says, "Mr. Dad is my father call me Dad Dad." [b]Military Overview:[/b] Currently the entire military contains 2,000,001 men total. [hider=Army]Of all of the armed forces it matches up with the rest of the world complete with carbines and top of the line armor. There is not a lot of specialties, only special ops or general infantry. -The Infantry is seen in olive green uniform with matte helmets and boots. They carry [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_Garand]Carbine Rifles[/url] that fires .30-06 rounds, a Semi Automatic Revolver, and are issued two fragmentation grenades. The theory behind that is less glare the better, so not to give up positions. In the past the army's main form of attack was guerrilla, never really aggressively attacking others, except for during bouts of expansionism. Also included in the inclusive umbrella of Infantry is the Tank Troopers who drive the Two cannoned Tanks called Vanguards or the quicker Rovers. -The Vanguard is a two barreled Tank that is heavily armored and is used mainly as a defensive tool. -The Rovers are a lightly armored machine gun based vehicle that runs on treads. It is faster than it two barreled cousin. The only other form of Army is the Special Forces unit, the Legionaries. Their uniform consists of a dark grey suit that has padded armor plates sewn in key points. They don a balaclava with a specially formed helmet that is very protective against stray bullets. They carry Carbine Rifles as well as Semi Automatic Revolvers, however they receive better equipment and training. They also carry experimental flash grenades made with a large amount of compressed Phosphorus, water, and sodium.[/hider] [Hider=Navy] One of the most high tech navies around the globe employs over 20 Elephant class Battle ships complete with AA guns and large cannons. There are 76 Cheetah class ships followed by 199 Rabbit Class Ships. The Elephant class as mentioned above have 15 50. AA guns and 5 large cannons for Naval war far and are armored in heavy Elektrum. The Cheetah Class is a faster and smaller unit and still carries AA guns and cannons, albeit less only a single cannon and 5 AA guns. With smaller plates of Elektrum and iron it is quicker. The Rabbit class is the quickest and smallest. It is used for quick attacks where numbers are strong. They carry 4 multipurpose machine guns as well as 2 mounted missile launchers[/hider] [hider=Air Force] The Hambrian Air Force is very poor, there are only 25 Airships total while [i]Propellis[/i], a tri propeller plane that is used mainly for scouting but can be retro fitted with weapons, are quite numerous.
