High Commander of all armed forces Boris Stolarz (Info on actual military units might come, I'm not sure yet) Productions (What your nation Produces): Military Equipment, Lumber (Baltic), Coal/Metals (Polish), Oil (Belarus) History of the Nation (Easy Pz): Following the Third World War, General Stolarz led the Belarussian military into neighboring countries weakened by the war. Poland easily knelt under his military force, with Troops marching across Warsaw and Poznan after only three months. But brutal fighting continued in Russia for some time. A longstanding battle of the city of St. Petersburg lasted for almost the full duration of the war. The Belarussian military was slogged through three long winters against the Russians, but were almost as well equipped. It was not until St. Petersburg was taken in 2054 that Russia was pacified. and the peace treaty granted Stolarz and Byelorussia the lands they now control. Ukraine attempted a preemptive strike on the Byelorussians while they were engaged in Russia, and attacked their holdings in the Lesser Poland region. But General Stolarz was able to quickly respond with occupying troops in Poland, who immediatley crushed the Ukrainians at the battle of Przemysl, routing them back towards their homelands. The Ukrainians realized their peril, and hurriedly set up a defense at Lviv to keep the Belarussians out of their country. But the defense was slaughtered by surprise maneuvers from conscripted Polish general Slawomir Sokoloff. When the Belarussians reached Kiev, the Ukranians quickly surrendered. Lithuania and Latvia subsequently volunteered to be incorporated, and Estonia capitulated only two days after the declaration of war on their nation, as the Belarussian army, under command of Russian conscripted general Vladimir Brugonov. Stolarz then set about establishing a government, rapidly forming the governing council of his most trusted and able generals, many of whom he had recruited from the conquered countries. The 10 Oligarchs, including Stolarz, asked the people to put forth volunteers to review a constitution they had drafted. Surprisingly, the people approved the constitution, legally placing Stolarz and his government in control. By 2060, the nation was internationally recognized by all but a few nations, mainly the exiled governments of those it had conquered. Byelorussia has slowly been building its military in preparation for a brewing war with the Finnish Republic and possible revenge attacks from the badly weakened Russians. Government: The Belarussian government is a merit based Strato-Oligarchy. The most able-performing military man of each of the nine Representative districts (Belarus, Warsaw, Poznan, St. Petersburg, Smolensk, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) is sent to the governing council, which meets every other month in Minsk. Commander in Chief Boris Stolarz is the executive until he steps down or dies, after which the most able commander of the council will take his place. While a general standing military is present, the PP (administrative police) are tasked with maintaining order, especially in the far reaches of the empire. They are forbidden to execute or torture unless it is absolutely necessary, or they receive permission to do so from Minsk. Counties and smaller administrative districts are governed by well performing men of the PP. Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics): Caucasian.
