[hider=Soven-Ampara WIP] [center][h1][i]Federal State of Soven-Ampara[/i][/h1] [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/517816872889221130/539670744712347669/blop.png[/img][/center] [u]Type of Government:[/u] Constitutional Monarchy [u]Head(s) of Government:[/u] King Alejandro Belmonte the Fifth [u]Politics:[/u] The politics of Soven-Ampara are dominated by the interplay between what were the elite classes of two separate nations prior to unification. The Soveni elite, a group dominated by the nations aristocracy, have relentlessly pursued a platform of integration wherein the current federal structure of the government would be superseded by a unitary system. This, given Soven’s clear population advantage, would grant the Soveni elite near total control over the nation. Conversely the Amparan elite, a group composed almost entirely of the nouveau riche, have sought to maintain the federal structure of the nation. In recent years the nations politics have become tremendously fractious with the Soveni elite utilizing their nations recovering agricultural sector to dominate the political battlefield. The threat of what would amount to total annexation has driven many Amparan elites to advocate the dissolution of the union and the restoration of sovereignty, a view that has become increasingly dangerous to have. [u]Economy:[/u] The economy of the federal state is as diverse as the land it occupies. In southern Ampara agriculture and resource extraction take precedence whereas in the northern Soven industrial machine and chemical manufacture is more common. [u]Unique Technologies:[/u] Soven is renown for its production of exotic chemicals and drugs. From pharmaceuticals capable of temporarily enhancing ones intellect to synthetic substances that can provide near frictionless lubrication of machine parts, Soveni chemical manufacturing is the nations industrial cornerstone. [u]Primary Species:[/u] Human [u]Population:[/u] 28.77 Million - Soven 8.45 Million – Ampara 37.22 Million – Total [u]Culture:[/u] WIP [u]Religion and Other Beliefs:[/u] WIP (Probably the same as Aristo’s) [u]Location/Territories:[/u] Soven- The northern member of the union Soven has long been a developed industrial and agricultural power. The calamity ten years ago caused up to three million deaths in Soven alone, shattering the nations economy and paving way for the union with Ampara. Ampara – The southern member of the union Ampara was once a wild river delta filled with a plethora of native groups. Several centuries ago Soveni traders established port cities and colonies in the region, which led to significant settlement and displacement of the local populace. Widespread intermarriage between settlers and natives eventually led to the development of a national identity and the independence of the region from Soven. [u]Climate:[/u] Soven-Ampara has a number of climates, from rolling plains and forests to deserts and jungles. [u]Military:[/u] The military of Soven-Ampara has been equipped and trained for one reason, the destruction of any Talanian force that crosses the sea. The military espouses a doctrine centred around rapid response units and mobile firepower with the goal of containing and destroying any Talanian beachhead that emerges rather than preventing such beachheads outright. [hider=Air Forces:] [hider=A-3] [img]https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/2e19e1ca-5068-49c4-beba-94a0f229f67f/d47r8sj-c302d2e7-73a4-40f8-b075-9e50a0ff0b65.jpg/v1/fill/w_1159,h_689,q_70,strp/tour_de_l_afrique_by_j_humphries_d47r8sj-pre.jpg[/img] The A-3 is the older model fighter in service with the military. An oversized engine and semi swept wings mark this aircraft as a high altitude attacker. Used in dives on enemy formations the A-3 is capable of reaching high speeds before engaging with its four machine guns.[/hider] [hider=A-6] [img]https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/a2b108af-a98e-49cf-a5b8-3369825ea1dc/d4squix-d6cc7bee-3994-481a-8dc9-e7a969098f9b.jpg/v1/fill/w_1111,h_719,q_70,strp/russian_attack_by_futureelements_d4squix-pre.jpg[/img] The A-6 is the newer model fighter in service with the military. Designed to be capable of high altitude dives as well as high speeds in level flight the A-6 represents the latest in aviation technology in the Federal State. It sports two cannons and four machine guns.[/hider] [hider=HA-4] [img]https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/8cbb2cdc-ad5c-4b59-9636-97349fafd1b2/d38awmc-bf618a88-9b4e-4626-8236-5bcedcc311c0.jpg/v1/fill/w_1024,h_665,q_70,strp/random_fighter_by_sapiento_d38awmc-fullview.jpg[/img] The NA-4 is the only heavy fighter in the air forces. Designed to climb to bomber altitude and destroy larger aircraft the NA-4 is almost always supported by other aircraft. Buying into the same reliance on speed seen in other military aircraft the NA-4 sacrifices some firepower, having only one cannon and four machine guns. When flying lower altitude missions the aircraft can carry bombs and torpedoes.

A bomber with a truly obscene ceiling the BA-7, which is uniquely a pressurized vehicle, is designed to be flown far above Talanian defenses.[/hider][/hider] [Hider=Army] [hider=T-11] [img]https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/3b2f04e2-151d-43a7-808e-9f74b36f003f/d8z8s2w-5c193eae-3b75-48ec-8b90-c766c720b5cb.jpg/v1/fill/w_1024,h_603,q_70,strp/tank_e_50_by_anabed14_d8z8s2w-fullview.jpg[/img] The T-11 is the heaviest tank the army can bring to bear. Armed with a capable main gun and well armored the T-11 was designed to repulse a Talanian force that has managed to bring armor across the sea.[/hider] [hider=T-9] [img]https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/a2ae47f0-74fb-4f17-87bc-ebf9d7939fbe/d61cf9j-ae202327-c6f8-4016-93a9-b82062dda408.jpg/v1/fill/w_1059,h_755,q_70,strp/leopard_by_nakamoora_d61cf9j-pre.jpg[/img] The T-9 is a tank designed to operate far from infantry support. Meant to race towards an enemy landing and destroy it before it organizes the T-9 is light and has a moderate armament meant to fire HE and AP.[/hider] [hider=AC-23] [img]https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/c54dad0e-7ec8-49f5-87d0-22f22c6c97da/dcennlh-722b4318-c69b-4e86-b6c4-e7ac04855d8c.jpg/v1/fill/w_1150,h_695,q_70,strp/rubicon_models_sdkfz_222_box_art_by_roen911_dcennlh-pre.jpg[/img] The AC-23 is an armored car with a heavy machine gun. These cars are widely available.[/hider][/hider] [hider=Navy] [/hider] [u]Magic Prevalence/Usage:[/u] Magic exists, but is not utilized in an institutional way. There are a number of laws concerning which magics are legal or not, but beyond that mages are left unmolested. Private interests often hire the magically inclined for any number of reasons. [u]History/Background Info:[/u] WIP [u]Nation Relations (Can be as simple as a brief two line summary for your neighbors):[/u] Talania- Relations are poor, and war is expected. The federal state was formed to check Talanian expansion in the wake of the calamity. Andra- WIP Arcad- Arcad is seen as little more than a check to Hastur. Largely seen as a barbaric nation incapable of reigning in its malcontents Arcad is rarely taken seriously in diplomatic circles. Hastur- Hastur, once a distant threat, has been seen as little more than a chaotic pseudo state for centuries. Often it is seen as a collection of warlords, rather than a real nation. [/hider]
