Fictional History

TBA

Politics/Society

As its name suggests Neo Hungaria is a monarchy ruled by their king. The current regent is Mathias III, aged 42. He's the son of the late king Reinhard von Croy and direct descendant of the Arpád Dynasty. He was born in Belgium but spent most of his life in Hungary and later adopted the name Korona Mátyás (Mathias Crown). The main decision-making body of Neo Hungaria is the Parliament which is mostly dominated by the right-wing Hungarian Unity Novation (HUN) party albeit their authority is far less absolute compared to the past. In every four years the members of the Parliament are decided by vote although the system isn't completely clean.
Hungarian is the the country's official language albeit given the large diversity of ethnicities and nationalities within Neo Hungaria they also support schools in other languages and people can do administrative duties in up to 11 tongues. Multi-culturalism is prevalent albeit Hungarians subtly still enjoy some preferential treatment.

Economy

Neo Hungaria remained neutral through the entire length of WW3 which allowed them to survive these years relatively intact. Their neighbors were not so lucky and as Neo Hungaria conquered them it also had an impact on their economy. Their conquest was fueled by nationalist propaganda about restoring Hungary of the past yet in effect it also bore strategic importance. Many of the old kingdom's richest agricultural fields and allocation of natural resources were held by foreign countries. Reparations and war-waging costs were expensive but turned out to be rewarding on the long run. With these Neo Hungaria became an economic powerhouse compared to the rest of Europe. They have rich mountains abundant in materials, oil fields and excellent farmlands. Due to the latter they also invested considerable effort in producing various biofuels thus allowing them to be close to self-sufficient. Export of food and materials is one of their largest source of income.

Even prior to WW3 Hungary was keeping pace with other nations when it came to science and technology. This only accelerated after the formation of Neo Hungaria. The nation's economy multiplied more than tenfold and this had a drastic impact on technology and industry. Nowadays Neo Hungaria is one of the most developed nations in the world.

Military

Ever since its conception Neo Hungaria put emphasis on their military and with a good reason. Even after its numerous territorial acquisitions Neo Hungaria was surrounded by giant nations that threatened their existence. As such compared to its neighbors Neo Hungaria is more militarized and their military expenses (along with R&D) reach as high as 21% of their budget. Along with the technological and industrial boom, Neo Hungaria also devoted great resources into arming their forces with only national products. This resulted in a temporarily setback as the industry for making weapons was yet to be finished but by the 2040s this idea became a reality.

Bocskai III-V2 Stealth Tank

Name: Bocskai III-V2
Classification: Stealth-Capable Light Battle Tank
Manufacturer: FÉG-ARMY
Rollout Date: 2044 (original), 2047 (current variation)
Crew: 3
Length: 7m (~10m with the gun forward)
Width: 3.4 m
Height: 2.6 m
Weight: 18.2 metric tons (22.6 tons with extra armor kits)
Armor: CNT-BNT composite modular armor
Engine: FÉG TURBO-900C Multi-Fuel Turbine Engine (899hp/670kW)
Maximum Speed: 120 km/h, up to 85 km/h offroad
Maximum Range: 1700 km
Main Armament: FÉG 120mm L/70 Multi-Stage Cannon (4x16 ammo, RoF: 6-40RPM depending on mode)
Co-Axial Gun: FÉG-M41 10mm Machinegun
Secondary Weapon: Csepel-Manfréd Modular Remote Controlled Weapon System (various loadouts)

Light and advanced tank and the chief fighting vehicle employed by the Royal Hungarian Army. Its predecessor the Bocskai Tank was just a license-built version of the Polish PL-01. But following this subsequent versions constantly upgraded the tank to the extend that the Bocskai III tank is practically a whole different vehicle. The most notable difference is the new full-CNT chassis which improved protection while also decreasing weight, making the tank incredibly light and easy to transport. Though without dense heavy metal frame the armor only offers limited protection against APFSDS rounds. Another focus was on the tank's stealth. The Bocskai III uses the 3rd generation of the PL-01's thermal and radar stealth system and in standard combat situations and from sufficient distance this makes the vehicle practically undetectable. Newest addition is the Bocskai III's active camouflage system which by using the CNT's electronic properties can allow the tank to literally change colors, thus mimicking the surroundings. While this is obviously nowhere close to invisibility it works rather well from standard engagement distances. The Bocskai III also has the latest generation of passive and active protection systems which by the second variation includes a PL-100 laser point defense. Not to replace anti-missile defenses the laser works the best against distant or slow-moving explosive warheads. It can also double as an anti-infantry weapon although overusing the system can be damaging. Lastly the tank has a 120mm gun using the latest liquid propellant shells. Because this alone wouldn't be enough to defeat the latest armors the Bocskai III's cannon has the option for multi-stage acceleration where the side caverns of the barrel are filled up with extra propellant which would be controllably released as the projectile travels. The process takes roughly 8-10 seconds to prepare but the extra power is guaranteed to worth it.

Toldi IVe Main Battle Tank

Name: Toldi IVe
Classification: Main Battle Tank
Manufacturer: MAVAG
Rollout Date: 2041 (original), 2048 (current variation)
Crew: 3
Length: 7.45m (~12m with the gun forward)
Width: 3.6 m
Height: 3.2 m
Weight: 48.8 metric tons
Armor: Laminate Honeycomb Composite Modular Armor
Powerplant: MAVAG W16SH-3600 Liquid-cooled Turbodiesel Engine (2222hp/1657kW)
Maximum Speed: 90 km/h, up to 64 km/h offroad
Main Armament: FÉG 160mm L/60 Gun (30 RPM with autoloader, 3x12 shells)
Co-Axial Gun: FÉG-M41 10mm Machinegun
Secondary Weapon: Csepel-Manfréd Modular Remote Controlled Weapon System (various loadouts)
Active Protections: Smoke grenade launchers, laser/radar warning and jammers, FÉG ORS-5 defense system (incorporates various sensors while having the combination of explosive, projectile and laser based interceptors)

While the Bocskai tanks are innovative, cheap and effective in warfare, there are several situation where the army requires a typical MBT for the job. As such Neo Hungaria developed the Toldi IV main battle tank. Named after a Hungarian knight famous for his strength and valor the Toldi IV is an advanced fighting vehicle with the latest weaponry and protection. 140-150mm guns are dominating tank battles for decades now. MAVAG and FÉG went a step further by chambering the new cannon at 160mm. The increased diameter offers extra power but more importantly it allows the use of more diverse types of shells and gun-launched missiles. Neo Hungary also developed their own unique armor system which is relatively light while offers great degree of protection. It's tough and enduring, its microscopic BN honeycomb plates being immune to the "multiple hit problem" ceramic panels suffered. The armor was also made with the future possibility of irradiated environments and directed energy weapons in mind. Of course the Tolid IV also features the latest electronics, sensors and countermeasures with the E-variant debuting with the FÉG ORS-5 system with coverage and response time far better than most contemporary systems. All of these together makes the Toldi IVe a powerful but expensive tank when compared to the Bocskai III-V2.

I still need to fill out the history part and this NRP flies like a jet plane.
I added a few things including proper army numbers, a latter for which I mostly looked at the current US military as the basis and divided it by a certain number. So if you think the result is too high then you may have underestimated the size of your military.
...or don't spend 20% of your GDP on them like my country and the USA does.
As I said the Bundeswehr currently is just tiny in comparison because they simply have no need for anything larger. Things would be different in a world like this, though.

And yeah, I still haven't filled out my history part but is it such a big deal?
I mean I practically already told you what's relevant about it.
I can fill that out later.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

@IluvatarI don't think many nations can currently influence on the global scale.
What with previous relations breaking down and everything still being a mess.
In the modern world it's easier to be a "great power" than in a setting like this.

Besides, with great power comes great responsibility.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

BTW, I wanted to mention this in Neo Hungaria's profile but I couldn't find the appropriate place for it.
Basically the overgrown mustaches are enjoying a new reneissance in Neo Hungaria.


Imagine a nation where mustaches like this are almost like the norm.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

@Willy Vereb
Do you suppose any form of agreements or treaties would have been made between Neo-Hungaria and the GEC before 2050?

@Durandal

Sure, why not?
20 years is a long time.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

<Snipped quote by MetalLover>

What allowed, large, solid-state lasers, tank rail guns, or both?

@Durandal

Both are apparently allowed.
Solid-state lasers aren't THAT big and decades of development can certainly shrink them down.
We already have laser point defenses thanks to Rheinmetall. They are sure not as OP as portrayed in sci-fi. They are a nice way to compliment your already long list of countermeasures.

As for Railguns...well, they have issues in general.
Power requirements (same as big lasers in the MW range), wear on the rails (IIRC about 30 shots prior to replacement) and issues with the ammunition options.
Actually, I think I may stick with the "conventional" cannons.
The navy is interested in railguns because it'd give them a cheaper alternative to missiles and rocket-assisted projectiles when bombarding from range. The raw velocity of the projectile turns it into an explosive.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

Well, just because many modern militaries have low numbers it doesn't mean you have to be.
They have tiny armies because they don't use it.
Look at the USA, they have millions of soldiers.
In comparison Germany doesn't even have a tenth of this even though their population is around 30-40% of USA.
then look at WW2 when Nazi Germany had almost as many soldiers as the USA during the peak of war, an even before they had more soldiers than the USA currently employs.
It's a matter of necessity.
Post-WW3 atmosphere won't be a kind world so I suppose every decently sized nation can reason a few million soldiers to themselves.

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

While I do agree with this, the thing is, they will still most likely be bitch slapped by the 2 Asian Superpowers. The Caliphate, the GEC, and the Soviet Empire will probably beat them down.

@MetalLover

I already said that I am more or less just nitpicking since the only thing that matters is the RP.
And if we are at it, Brits will be also hard-pressed against Neo Hungaria if it would ever come to war.
But oh well, we'll see when it comes to it.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

Railguns are fine, energy weapons are not. Early formed lasers are fine though, which i assume the vehicle mounted ones are.

@MetalLover

Tank mounted railguns change things in a big way.
I suppose I'll change my tank profile a tiny bit.
And yes, it's a big solid-state laser system, exactly what the US was developing for a while.
Working on the military bits for now.
I may quickly cook up something for the history, though.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

<Snipped quote by raja1020>

Avoiding war is an incredibly simple endeavour: have a powerful military, and don't declare war. If two people are wailing on each other with sticks and there's a third guy with an even bigger stick watching them, the third fellow isn't going to be attacked, assuming that either of the first two have an IQ above 70. It would be suicide for either of the warring parties to decide, for no reason other than 'The British Isles are nice this time of year!', to waste their resources on assaulting a non-party to the conflict. This is an incredibly basic idea that should not be difficult for you to understand. As for a nuclear strike: if you had read the OP, you'd know that there weren't any.

<Snipped quote by raja1020>

1. The pound sterling is already an international reserve currency. It's the third most traded financial denomination after the Euro and the U.S. dollar.

2. Europe was ravaged by war and the United States was ravaged by war so badly that it divided into thirds (or is it fourths?). When countries (or evil empires, in the EU's case) are under extreme duress like that, no one wants to touch their currency with a ten foot pole. That would leave the pound sterling the most likely new international reserve purely by consequence. Factor in that when money leaves one place it has to go somewhere else, and that Britain was a most excellent place for this freed up capital to go, and it seems like it would be a fantastical oddity for the pound sterling to not become the post-war world's reserve.

@The Nexerus

The problem with this idea is that you still magically aren't interested in one of the greatest wars of all time.
Also you are already part of the NATO and involved with EU.
While mending the latter is hardly difficult the former would be a far different case.
Really, the point of this setting is to have all nations start from relative ruins (even if they are pretty well-off nowadays).
Saying that you were the laughing third while the entire world was slugging it out is rather unfair.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

@MonkeypantsI think Mihndar already has China.
Also even though it's 2050 we only have slightly futuristic modern weaponry.
No energy weapons or such craze.
Possibly even tank-mounted railguns are stretching it.
Although wait a minute...
@MetalLoverI know I asked technology before but I wonder would you allow vehicles mounting railguns?
If not, would it be acceptable for naval vessels (where the research is currently going on)?
Also how do you feel about large sized vehicle-mounted 1-10MW lasers (used mostly for interception and anti-aircraft purposes).

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

I have comparatively little interest in Europe. If I do expand in Europe through the course of the roleplay, it would only be to take back Moldova/the Baltic countries.

The Caliphate and the post-American countries probably have the most to fear.

Which countries would still have nuclear arsenals?

@Mihndar

I thought you already have them? I mean based on the map it seems obvious you have Ukraine, for example.
And that you are my direct neighbor.

As for which countries still have nuclear arsenals it's a bad way to ask it.
Because there's no reason a country wouldn't work on their atomic project.
Actually, Neo Hungaria built nukes after WW3.
