[h2][b][color=00a651]General Information[/color][/b][/h2]The Holy Hungarian League is a large federation of currently 21 states in Central and Eastern Europe. Described as the melting pot of nations with Hungary being the wax which holds them together the League is known to be a strange mix of tolerance and traditionalism. German or Slavic, human or abhuman it doesn't matter. Hungary welcomes them all. Technically a kingdom ruled by its elected king in effect the true power is concentrated within the League Council and the Parliament. Thanks to its size and level of development the Holy Hungarian League is one of the world's leading powers.

[h2][b][color=00a651]History[/color][/b][/h2]Hungarian is an ancient culture from the pre-war era, fell along with the rest of the nations during the Cataclysm. They remained forgotten for thousands of years until their rediscovery by the early modern age. Their culture and writings had considerable effect on Central Europe which was presently split up into numerous small states. Using the influence of ancient Hungarian culture as the medium Central Europe united as the Holy Hungarian League in 1848. The strength of the League was truly tested in the Great War during the early 20th century. Fighting in the Franco-promoted Entente the League proved victorious and reinforced its status within Europe.

[h2][b][color=00a651]Economy/Industry/Technology[/color][/b][/h2]The Holy Hungarian League is one of the leading economic powers on Earth. The combination of highly developed states along with sheer workforce of the undeveloped members gave room for a yet unparalleled growth. Their policy to allow abhumans or even the barely intelligible beastmen also gave them a competitive advantage as cheap masses for low skill labor. In addition Hungary did not neglect technology and they're the leaders in electronics, robotics and material sciences. In the recent decades they extensively built nuclear plants through the League in order to feed their increasingly power hungry industry.

[h2][b][color=00a651]Culture/Demographics[/color][/b][/h2]The League promotes universal suffrage and fair treatment of all its citizens. Yet in effect the diverse population leads to massive inequalities. One such clash is on the inter-state level as the more developed nations practically siphon out workforce from the poorer states, making their situation even more difficult. Meanwhile the citizens of developed states feel threatened by foreigners stealing their work. The relation between humans, abhumans and beastmen are even worse. Certain abhumans are naturally better suited for certain jobs which makes regular humans feel nearly hopeless to compete. Abhumans are viewed with mixed disgust, envy and fear. On the other hand beastmen are viewed as the primary wage stealers in low skill labor, a competitive advantage no one else could keep up with. Aside from this their barely sentient intelligence makes beastmen target of extremists who view them less than human and more like a type of livestock. In response Hungarian laws made several steps to protect beastmen from abuse or mistreatment. Although recognizing their gullible and easily manipulated nature these laws also somewhat reduced their rights compared to normal humans. The friction between different races,nations, ethnicities and social ranks is a neverending issue for the Holy Hungarian League.

[h2][b][color=00a651]Military Information[/color][/b][/h2]The Holy Hungarian League has a considerable military under the name of Royal Hungarian Self Defense Force (Magyar Királyi Honvédség). While the Leagure has the large population of 160 million they don't opt for a huge army and rather focus on a smaller but more professional force. While conscription technically exists they don't count as part of the official military. Instead those who went through the mandatory service of a year may receive additional training and become career soldiers. As such the RHSDF only has around half million personnel. This number may seem low but in view of their diplomatic situation the army exists for power projection and minimal security purposes rather than facing an immediate threat. In contrast the high quality of the military allows such low lethalities that in general you have better chance to die in a car accident than serving the RHSDF.

[b]Name:[/b] Harckocsi model 11 "Kurucz", HK-11, Kurucz Tank
[b]Role:[/b] Cruiser Tank
[b]Dimensions:[/b] height: 2.1m, width:2.7m, length: 5.5m (main body)
[b]Weight:[/b] 19.5 tons
[b]Structure:[/b] Steel
[b]Armor:[/b] 60mm at the front, 20-30mm at the sides
[b]Main Armament:[/b] 50mm L/70 Gun
[b]Crew:[/b] 4

Tank symbolizing the League's participation in the Great War. Designed for mobility and fighting other tanks it could cruise in the excess of 50km/h on roads and known to be very dependable off-road. When it was introduced its 50mm high velocity cannon and radically sloped armor made it one of the best tanks known. Although as the war progressed the size and power of tanks kept growing and by 1509 the vehicle was long inadequate to fight newer tank types. In spite of that its reliability and relative ease of production saw the Kurucz in action through the entirety of the Great War and spawned numerous variants.[/hider][hider=Makk Gun Carrier][img]http://hsfeatures.com/images/stugiiigir_9.jpg[/img]

[b]Name:[/b] Makk József Önjáró Löveg, ML-11/ML-17/ML-24 (Makk I/II/III)
[b]Role:[/b] Self-propelled Gun, Tank Destroyer
[b]Dimensions:[/b] height: 2.1m, width:2.7m, length: 5.5m (main body)
[b]Weight:[/b] 15.5 tons (Makk I), 20.5 tons (Makk II), 25.6 tons (Makk III)
[b]Armor:[/b] 60/20/20mm (Makk I), 80/30/20mm (Makk II), 120/40/20mm (Makk III)
[b]Main Armament:[/b] 75mm L/30 or L/50 (Makk I), 90mm L/40 (Makk II), 105mm L/60 (Makk III)
[b]Crew:[/b] 3-4

Self-propelled gun based on the Kurucz chassis. Initially designed as a light assault gun to attack fortifications it played an increasingly greater role as the war raged on. The small turret of the Kurucz was incapable of mounting any larger ordinance thus they hastily turned to the Makk, essentially making it a mobile anti-tank gun. Thanks to its low profile the Makk was largely popular and its latest variant is still used in Hungary and its allies.[/hider][hider=HK-48/ML-32 Zrínyi Tank Destroyer][img]http://i.imgur.com/rX8p0hi.jpg[/img]

[b]Name:[/b] Zrínyi Miklós Páncélvadász, HK-48, ML-32, Zrínyi Tank
[b]Role:[/b] Tank Destroyer
[b]Dimensions:[/b] height: 1.85m, width:3.6m, length: 6.3 (main body)
[b]Weight:[/b] 25.5 metric tons
[b]Structure:[/b] Aluminium-Steel Microalloy (weighs 40% less than regular steel)
[b]Armor:[/b] Spaced armor
[b]Main Armament:[/b] 125mm L/50 Gun (50-round autoloader)
[b]Secondary Armament:[/b] 12.7mm Heavy Machinegun (remote-controlled)
[b]Crew:[/b] 3

Motivated by the success of the Makk series of self-propelled guns the League began developing its successor. The result was the HK-48 Zrínyi, a low profile turretless vehicle mounting 105mm gun (later upgraded to 125mm). It's agile and can pass through difficult terrain. While possessing a very limited traverse the gun overall aims by moving the vehicle. Elevation/depression is handled by the pneumohydraulic suspension which at the time was revolutionary. Overall the Zrínyi was designed for hull-down operations and ambushes where it's non-existent turret would render it almost invisible to the enemy. To further empathize this it even has a dozer blade to dig in prior to assuming position. It has adequate front armor to handle attacks from a distance but due to its turretless design and weak side armor it's unfit for direct combat.[/hider][hider=HK-27 Lehel][img]http://www.military-today.com/tanks/tm_800.jpg[/img]

[b]Name:[/b] Harckocsi Model 27 "Lehel", HK-27, Lehel Tank
[b]Role:[/b] Medium Tank, Main Battle Tank
[b]Dimensions:[/b] height: 2.35m, width:3.3m, length: 6.74m (main body)
[b]Weight:[/b] 25-35 tons (varies by type and add-ons)
[b]Structure:[/b] Varies
[b]Armor:[/b] Varies (Great War variants used steel, modern variants use spaced composite)
[b]Main Armament:[/b] 90mm or 105mm gun with co-axial machinegun
[b]Secondary Armament:[/b] 12.7mm heavy machinegun on anti-aircraft mount
[b]Crew:[/b] 4-5

Tank developed during mid-late Great War which took over the Kurucz as the new mainstay armored vehicle in conflicts. It had great mobility, decent armor and more than adequate firepower. As such later variants are pretty much declared MBTs. Thanks to its efficiency yet cheapness there's a wide export market for the Lehel tank albeit it obviously shows signs of age. Due to difficulties to produce sufficient number of Tolid tanks there's a large stock of Lehel tanks in the Hungarian Army's reserve.

[b]Name:[/b] Harckocsi Model 56 "Toldi Miklós", HK-56, Toldi Tank
[b]Role:[/b] Main Battle Tank
[b]Dimensions:[/b] height: 1.89-2.65m, width:3.45m, length: 7.62m (main body)
[b]Weight:[/b] 32 tons
[b]Structure:[/b] Aluminium-Steel Microalloy (weighs 40% less than regular steel)
[b]Armor:[/b] ÖRSI Spaced Composite
[b]Main Armament:[/b] 125mm L/50 Gun (w/ autoloader), 7.62mm co-axial gun
[b]Secondary Armament:[/b] 20mm Remote-Controlled Autocannon
[b]Crew:[/b] 5 (can operate fine even with 3 but the army likes additional manpower for maintenance)

The self-proclaimed tank of the future it was developed in response to ongoing tank race post Great War. It's an ambitious design uniting many of the more recent developments. Thanks to its lightweight aluminum-steel alloy construction and powerful turbodiesel engine the HK-56 is surprisingly agile and just light enough to be air transportable. It sports the ÖRSI composite armor which uses various steels with a specially made fiberglass layer sandwitched within. The main gun is an improved 125mm cannon on a stabilized electric mount which includes even a ballistic computer and laser rangefinder. For smoother ride and to better fit hull down operations the tank has a hydropneumatic suspension with adjustable ride height. The tank also has smoke launchers and all other utilities necessary on the new battlefields. As such the HK-56 is a dangerously effective thank and surprisingly comfortable for the crew, at times jokingly dubbed the "Battle Taxi". On the other hand the HK-56 is anything but cheap. Its work intensive design makes the replacement of the old tank park more difficult. Toldi Miklós is knight from the ancient pre-war Hungarian Mythology.[/hider][hider=ML-36 Tas Self-Propelled Artillery][img]http://weaponsystems.net/image/s-lightbox/n-Bandkanon/--/img/ws/ar_sph_bandkanon_v1.jpg[/img]

[b]Name:[/b] Önjáró Tüzérségi Löveg Model 36 "Tas", ML-36, Tas SPG
[b]Role:[/b] Self-Propelled Artillery
[b]Dimensions:[/b] height: 3.55m, width:3.37m, length: 6.55m (main body)
[b]Weight:[/b] 30 tons (older variant weighed closer to 50 tons)
[b]Structure:[/b] Aluminium-Steel Microalloy (weighs 40% less than regular steel)
[b]Armor:[/b] Spaced Armor
[b]Main Armament:[/b] 155mm L/60 Gun (w/ autoloader on 15 rounds, 15 RPM)
[b]Secondary Armament:[/b] 12.7mm Remote-Controlled Machinegun
[b]Crew:[/b] 5

Designed to provide adequate artillery support without needing large numbers the Tas is one of the first self-propelled artilleries utilizing an autoloader to achieve greater rate of fire. It's a modern artillery with ballistic calculators and integrated datalink in order to quickly and more accurately shoot than previous generation artillery. Compared to tanks the Tas has only minimal armor and at best has average mobility. On the other hand thanks to more recent developments the SPG is now light enough to be carried airborne by the largest transport planes.[/hider]
