Name: Confederacy of Kretchen States [hider=Map][img]http://i.imgur.com/mqcLBLJ.jpg[/img][/hider] Government: Theocratic Military Junta composed of High Ranking Nobility Economy: The Kretchen states have long been known as one of the most industrialized and modern nations in the region. Under the old rule of the enlightened monarchs who guided the nation until recently industrialization was embraced and the modern world was let in freely. The Kretchen states have a strong production industry with factories and a formidable military industrial complex that can produce material on an impressive scale by comparison to many of their neighbors, though of course they pale compared to the actual great powers of the world. Large deposits of coal as well as various metals and even some oil wells have ensured that the Kretchen states are able to largely sustain their own industry and look to future growth. However the Kretchen economy is hampered by the various intrastate regulations that differ from one to another. Population: 8.5 million Society: Military: 150,000 Military Kretchen Air Forces- The Kretchen Air Force is one of the prides of the nation, though certain elements are rapidly becoming out of date, such as the old Zeppelin fleet that is kept alive by the wishes and influence of the Grand Sky Admiral Roderick Hetzen VI. While the old man has remained blind to the steadily declining usefulness of his great Sky Fleet the entirety of the Air Force has not been so blind and the antiquated fighters and bombers are slowly being replaced with more modern models that have been developed in the recent years based on observations of the advanced fighters and bombers in use by the great powers as well as independent efforts to improve.

The primary tank is the LT vz. 35, an old workhorse model that was used to great effect in several border wars but that notably under-performed against the handful of tanks that the Socialist Rebels managed to import from foreign backers. While they are loath to admit it the newer LT vz 38s are a direct response to the failure of the tank that they had considered perfectly adequate previously. These tanks have just entered the armed forces and more orders have been placed. * 75 LT vz. 38s * 200 LT vz. 35s * 15 Protinádrže vůz na LT vz. 38 'Buřiče Kretchen Infantry- Rifles ZH-29s vz. 24s Sidearms ČZ vz. 27s Submachine guns ZK-383 Machine guns ZB vz. 26 ZB vz. 53 Kretchen Artillery- 37 mm kanon P.U.V. vz. 37 47 mm kanon P.U.V. vz. 36 Skoda 149 mm K1 M53/59 Praga Foreign Relations: Radom: Mutual Defense Pact History:
