History
When the Commonwealth fell, New Zealand fell in the dark. Forgotten and alone in the big wide world, the country was pretty much left on it's own devices. Their neighbours across the ditch also seemed a bit preoccupied with their own problems to deal with their little brother. New Zealand was lonely, shoved to their own little corner in the world.
After a few years in their corner, people going on with their own lives and trying to find ways to completely forget what was happening in the outside world, something change. A spark happened. There was a sudden click, and people's look and feel on things took on massive renovations. New Zealand was alone, and people are going to use that to their advantage.
At the year 1941, normal everyday civilians started to argue the status of their country. Was New Zealand really a British colony anymore? The riots started, people screaming for an identity. An identity not behind a foreign culture. They wanted change. They wanted an individual culture that could develop into something more. Not to hide behind the non existent Union Jack, something that most didn't feel was appropriate anymore.
With riots, come violence. They started peacefully, people holding signs and protesting in the streets. The violence came at the winter of 1942. The protesters were in Auckland, shouting at the disgrace of a government and how they should "hold their own". Two police officers, both juniors, were patrolling and stumbled over the protests. One of them, barely 19, stepped in front of the crowd and told them all to stop. It was 2 degrees outside, hardly the weather for this kind of thing.
The memories were blurry and the storm brewed. Something happened that resulted in the death of 20 people. 2 of them the officers. This caused a roar in the population. The civilians blamed the government and the government blamed the civilians. Violence spread throughout the nation. People who believed in the government and people who believed in the protesters took it out in the streets, punches thrown and beer bottle smashed.
The cities were utter brawls. These were the first few weeks. And then the guns came into play. Firefights, brawls, gunfire and death were the norm in the cities. The death count rose. The idiot who thought of bringing guns into the fight was certainly regretting it now. The loyalists seemed to break down, turning into a small hardcore army of guerrillas. When there was a handful of people left, the so called Civil War ended.
Peace returned to New Zealand, though scarred and tense.
Military Overview
Ngati Tumatauenga (~14,700 personnel)
1st New Zealand First Action Corps
1st New Zealand Special Air Service Company (~200 personnel)
(Avondale Fortress Camp A, Auckland)
Take New Zealand's population (or an estimate of the population around 1980), and find out how much of that total is 10%. That (however many 10% is) is the biggest your military could realistically be. Given New Zealand is not exactly a military powerhouse, though, and that they aren't seriously threatened by anyone, it's likely their total military force is somewhere less than 10%.Seeing how by then, New Zealand would have a population of 2.5 million. Then it would be around 200,000. Okay. Onto making even more units.
