The Austro-Italian Uni-Nationalist Republic
A.K.A.: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF AUSTRIA-ITALY
Formed in 2309 after serious debate in the United Nations regarding the political union of the two countries, Italy and Austria decided to go ahead with the unification despite the wishes of the Security Council. The reasoning for the union was stated as being due to the weak position both countries were in at the present time among ever-rising global tensions.
For the first 2 decades of the union, reactionaries and nationalists of both former nations attempted violent uprisings against the standing governments, yet these uprisings lacked public support and were few and far between.
Finally, a bill passed in the nations legislature, recognizing both former nations as societies distinct from one another, with separate languages that would be finalized as the nations 2 official languages, meaning both former national languages would be taught in all schools.
Originally given the name "The Austro-Italian Unionized Republic," the name was officially changed in 2362 to "The Austro-Italian Uni-Nationalist Republic" as to officially recognize both separate cultures and nationalities.
During the Third World War, the Republic fought on the side of the Five Powers. Following the Five Powers defeat, the country was occupied by joint American-British forces until 2381, when the Allied forces pulled out and re-granted Austro-Italy its full autonomy (against the wishes of the French Republic, who felt it should become an Allied protectorate, causing an automatic tension to spark between the two countries).
At the rise of the Sarrade Autocracy in France and the French aggressions to the north, Austro-Italy mobilized its entire armed forces to both the Austrian and Italian frontiers, only to be threatened by Sarrade with armed force in the event of an Austro-Italian intervention.
The American Dependencies of the Canary Islands and Northern Tunisia
A.K.A.: THE AMERICAN PROTECTORATES OF THE CANARY ISLANDS AND NORTHERN TUNISIA
After the systematic retaliatory genocides in Northern Tunisia and the Canary Islands during the Third World War by Five Power radicals, the entire areas were left almost entirely devoid of human life. A United Nations mandate following the wars end handed the empty areas over to American authorities, who would stem the flow of immigrants from the Iberian Republic into the Canary Islands, as well as the immigrants from Southern Tunisia moving in to repopulate the Northern half of the country, as to allow time for reconstruction of both areas.
After 5 years of reconstruction efforts, a newly elected reactionary President of the United States, Roland Magnoli, began shifting towards a policy that would allow both areas to become permanent territories of the United States, which lead to tensions to rise ten-fold between the provisional nation of Southern Tunisia and American forces.
The Republic of Finland
At the time of the rise of the Sarrade Autocracy, Finland, as well as its western neighbour Sweden, were considered the two final enclaves of old liberalized democracy, despite the slow rise in fascist, reactionary, and autocratic movements in both nations. By the time Elliot Sarrade had snatched up the U.B.S. as to become part of his empire, Finland had successfully, yet detrimentally suppressed two revolutionary uprisings in favor of radical right wing ideology.
During the Third World War, Finland stayed politically neutral, yet supplied the Allied Nations with volunteers, resources, and armaments. For its efforts in the war, the victorious Allied nations rewarded Finland with 40 million euros as to compensate the families of the Finns that died in service as volunteer soldiers.
Finland became involved in a crisis involving the civil war in Russia, when the soon-to-be Republic of Western Russia threatened invasion if Finland didn't supply it was soldiers and arms to assist in the war effort. Finland, at first, resisted, but later agreed to one of the terms, and began shipping the weapons of war across the Russian frontier to assist the Federalist forces in their struggle. After the civil wars end, Finland was never properly thanked, nor rewarded for its assistance, which went on to create a stigma amongst the general Finnish public regarding their opinions on Western Russia.
The Republic of Sweden
Sweden, much like its eastern neighbour, is considered one of the final enclaves of liberalized democracy, and went on to fight in that favor during the Third World War as a member of the Allied nations (most of which later became autocratic totalitarian dictatorships soon after the wars end). At the rise of the Sarrade Autocracy, Sweden began taking small steps as to counter Elliot Sarrade's steps towards European domination by way of slyly concealed economic sanctions, as well as secretly mobilizing its entire army to the Norwegian border following the fall of Norway to Great Britain.
During this same time, tensions with suppressed fascist militant groups and autocratic activists came to a boiling point when the SNM (Swedish Nationalist Movement) launched a guerrilla war against the mobilized government forces across the country. These attacks were met with brutal force, as well as government restrictions on civil liberties just prior to a new election. Some later speculated that the SNM had never intended to actually win the war through force, but instead through forcing the Swedish government to accept a reactionary leader as to protect Sweden's autonomy from outside influence.
The Autocratic Protectorate of Norway
A.K.A.: BRITISH NORWAY; THE BRITISH PROTECTORATE OF NORWAY
Following the subjugation of Germany and Denmark to France, Norway, rightfully seeing the invasions as unjust, was quick to declare war on Sarrade and his new French Empire, only to be unexpectedly struck by the Peoples Republic of Great Britain and Ireland from the west.
The British drive into the country lasted only a week before the Norwegian government was forced to unconditionally surrender in the capital of Oslo, which was surrounded by British troops, as well as a newly arrived contingent of the French Expeditionary Forces.
After only another week of being under what most Norwegians defined as annexation by the British, Norway was granted limited independence as an autocratic puppet state of Great Britain, and the newly-formed Norwegian Nationalist Party for the Salvation of Norway was put into power.
The Siberian Socialists Republic
A.K.A.: THE SECOND SOVIET SOCIALISTS REPUBLIC
The SSR was formed in 2092 following long peace talks in Berlin which successfully brought the Second Russian Civil War to a close, granting the 'New Soviets,' as they were once called, salvation from the brink of total defeat via an uncalled for international incident, and allowing them to form what they saw as the Second Soviet Socialists Republic, which was quick to defy the original terms of the Treaty of Berlin and established a totalitarian dictatorship with Boris Kharchov as its first official leader.
Over the years, it developed its armed forces regarding all possible fronts: sea, air, land, and later limited warfare regarding orbital space and the protection of a states satellites (used for many different purposes), and during the Third World War many years later, it fought on the side of the Five Powers, but half-way through the conflict it pulled out and declared itself neutral, thus barring Allied forces from entering the country following the wars conclusion, although it caused serious damage to the countries international opinion, as well as its pre-war relations with both Allied and Five Power nations. Three times following, it went to war with its western neighbour the Transural Republic, only to have the war brought to a quick conclusion due to threats from the United Nations Security Council, who threatened armed intervention all three times. At the time of the rise of the Sarrade Autocracy, the SSR was quick to form friendly relations with the new French government, and quickly became France's Asian liability.
The Transural Republic
A.K.A.: THE SECONDARY RUSSIAN FRACTURE STATE
Parallel to the SSR and the Republic of Western Russia, the Transural Republic was formed in 2092 following the end of the brutal Second Russian Civil War. As one of the two states given partial responsibility both domestically and internationally for the atrocities committed in the small Russian town of Radishchev, the Republic was indefinitely barred from ever joining the UN Security Council, and was given limited privilege regarding the UN in general, despite the fact that its western neighbour was reinstated as a member of the Security Council 50 years following its being expelled. Like the SSR, over the course of the many years between the Civil War and the Third World War, the Transural Republic rebuilt itself into one of the worlds leading economic powers, as well as sufficiently arming itself on all the same fronts as the SSR had, yet not on quite the same scale.
During the Third World War, it fought on the side of the Allies, quickly forcing its eastern neighbour, the SSR, to sign a Pact of Neutrality, due to the President of Transural Republic not wishing that any former Russian state be invaded by external powers, and personally taking steps to protect the SSR's autonomy as well as integrity, despite the fact that the SSR later attempted 3 invasions of the country in a bid to recreate the USSR, only to be forced back across the border by the United Nations, who now held a deep respect for the Republic due to its actions during the war. At the rise of the Sarrade Autocracy, the Transural Republic tried to veer away from any real diplomatic relations with France, yet made some exceptions as to keep the United Nations comfortable and not risk external invasion.
