Nation name: The German Empire Official currency: Deutschmark (1 DM - $0.56 USD) Form of government: Parliamentary-Model Constitutional Monarchy Describe your nation: The German Empire struggles, languishing under a series of incompetent chancellors. In recent years, the southern states have broken free, declaring a "South German Federation" with it's capital in Munich. In the north, a wave of patriotism has swept the nation's masses, inspiring many to call for the immediate reclamation of the territories, although there is a small anti-war faction at work as well. Perhaps only time will tell whether the Empire is preserved or she is in her final death-throes.

It had been many months since word had reached the upper echelons of Federal society about Imperial interests on the planet known as "Orbis". Orbis was, in many ways, not unlike Earth had been before the Third World War which had decimated the populace. At this point, it appeared that Orbis had either never faced such a large-scale conflict or it had faced several which had dramatically decreased the global population, hence the lack of many organized states or even a single one that controlled the entire planet. Nonetheless, in order to counter Imperial influence in the region, the Federation has begun the process of setting up a colony on the planet in the region that, at least on Earth, would be roughly near Bordeaux. The Federal Congress has already approved a bill to allow for a tax break to be implemented for any who would be willing to move to the planet in the coming years, and should that fail, well, lets just say that there may be a new Federal Penal Colony that shall be set up...

Considering the majority of modern music is written by two people, not really...

Remove me from the map. I'll be gifting my territory in Thrace and Anatolia to @Alexandoria

"Dear Umbrella Executives, We are pleased to have received word that the summit on clean energy will be held. While the Turyn Corporation does have a subsidiary working on next-gen fusion reactors, we will, of course, still attend the aforementioned summit. Turyn Corp. CEO Anton Turyn has requested that he be permitted to attend the summit alongside our Science Minister, Alexei Kryvonis. We hope that this meeting will be able to do some good for the world, and perhaps allow for nations and corporations on both sides to make a profit. Signed, Alexei Kolchak, Supreme Leader of White Ruthenia

Ruthenia has been in a state of revolution several times in the past decades, often instigated by the Bolsheviks, remnants of the Red Army (as well as those who supported them) which had overthrown the Provisional government back in the 1920's. Naturally, it was recognized that it would only be a matter of time before the next insurrection would begin, thus plans would be drawn out to prevent it from spiraling out of control. Of course, as we now know, these plans never go completely as intended, which led us to having to deal with this Bolshevik uprising for the last ten years, bringing with it the deaths of thousands on both sides, as well as untold suffering upon the locals. However, their deaths have not been in vain, for this struggle has finally been resolved. At last, after ten years, this "Insurrection" is at an end, with forces under Supreme Leader Alexei Kolchak gaining victory over the Bolsheviks. As promised, voting rights have been restored, with elections being scheduled for the coming months. The Supreme Leader has announced his candidacy for the Position of Prime Minister, if only as a formality, but current projections do show strong support for him in the aforementioned elections. Slava Rusi! Slava Otechestvu!

August claims:

The world is preparing to fall into the darkness of a new great war... and as such, we must all take sides if we are to make our mark on the world. With this in mind, after several days of discussion in the Duma, the various members of the RKL, RKLS, and RLB have put forwards their suggestion as to which side to support to Supreme Leader Alexei Kolchak. While their decision is not final, it is typical for the Supreme Leader to follow their advice, which has been shown in his decision: Henceforth, the Republic of White Ruthenia will pledge it's support to the Japanese in the ongoing crisis should war become inevitable. However, the nation will seek a diplomatic solution before it is too late to avoid such a war. Just as an added precaution, the northern border between Ruthenia and Umbrella will have it's garrison doubled should war break out, but nothing more at this time. Slava Rusi!

The National Anthem plays Greetings, Comrades. I am Supreme Leader Alexei Kolchak, here to give you the latest news. If it isn't from me or the staff of Pravda Rusi- Lets just say it isn't news. First up, we have received further information on the recent attack on a Plutonium Shipment in the last week. Apparently, one of the Bolshevik traitors is still alive. Following several days of interrogation, we have determined where the main Bolshevik hideout is, which is to say we are preparing to wipe them out once and for all. On an unrelated note, the Military Parade celebrating 120 years of our existence as a state is to be held in Kiev this Monday, if the weather holds up. Should the weather be worse than expected, the parade will be postponed to Friday. That is all. Slava Rusi! The program ends and the National Anthem plays

Is the Republic of Lumia willing to work alongside the Republic of White Ruthenia? -Anonymous

Both are approved. We are proud to welcome Ambassadors Lisa Alcott and Adolf Schicklgruber to our nation

Due to the ever increasing need for diplomatic ties in our world, the Ruthenian Government has ordered that forms such as the following be sent to the various nations of our world. If you wish to open an embassy in Kiev, it is necessary that this form be filled out prior to it's establishment by the nation that wishes to open said embassy. This document is the property of the Ministry of Diplomacy. Fill in this form and return to M.O.D. immediately. Nation: Ambassador (the person who will represent your nation): Ambassador's background (just as a safety check so that we know they are who they claim to be): Reason for opening embassy: When this document is fully filled out, it should look somewhat like the following (we will use our own nation as an example): Nation: The Republic of White Ruthenia Ambassador: Alexei Lysenko Ambassador's background: Born in Chernihiv, Chernigov Oblast, in 1970. No criminal record to speak of. Studied politics at the University of Kiev. Joined the Diplomatic corp in 2003. Assigned as Ambassador in 20XX Reason for Opening Embassy: We seek to improve relations with the Republic of White Ruthenia and secure trade between our nations.

An instrumental version of the Ruthenian National Anthem, "Farewell of Slavianka", plays prior to a news report Greetings, fellow citizens. It is I, Alexei Kolchak, your Supreme Leader. I wish to speak with you about events going on in our nation. First of all, we have received word that Bolshevik terrorists have attacked a convoy carrying vital plutonium for our nuclear weapons program. The Bolsheviks have failed in capturing the uranium... There were no survivors thanks to our valiant troops in the 2nd Infantry Division, 15th battalion, 11th company. We thank you for your service to the fatherland and we honor those who died in the line of duty. Next, we have learned that the first segment of our latest Space Station, Yednist, has been completed and will launch in five weeks time. A special thanks to those who have donated the time and effort to build the module for a job well done. Finally, the remaining parts of the former Austrian territory of Galicia-Lodomeria have been absorbed into the nation thanks to the work of our diplomatic corps. With their success, the Galicia and Lodomeria Oblasts have been established. That is all for now. The same instrumental version of the Ruthenian National anthem plays once more, followed by other patriotic music

First of all, remove me from the map (making a new nation and all) Second, I believe this is in order: Nation name: The Republic of White Ruthenia Population (may use in-game numbers): 58,509,000 Population density (may use in-game numbers): 50/km^2 Official currency: Ruthenian Ruble GDP (may use in-game numbers): $930 billion GDP per capita (may use in-game numbers): $15,894 Form of government: Presidential Dictatorship Describe your nation: Founded in the aftermath of the Russian Civil War, White Ruthenia is all that remains of the Russian White Army and Russian Republic. While it was a constitutional republic for much of it's history, in the last fifteen years, Alexei Kolchak, descendant of the famed Alexander Kolchak (Supreme Leader of White forces in the Russian Civil War), has eroded the rights of the Duma and named himself Supreme Leader of the Republic of White Ruthenia. Conservatism, Classical Liberalism, and Nationalism are the primary ideologies, with only Islamic Fundamentalism and certain more extreme forms of Socialism being banned. The main languages of the nation are Ruthenian (Ukrainian), Russian, Moldovan, Romanian, Slovak, Polish, and Belorussian.

.:Classified:. With word being received of the supposed fall of the Shanxi colony, an Austrian fleet under Admiral Wihelm Taube was dispatched to assist in recapturing the system by whatever means necessary. While officially, it's mission was to liberate the colony, once any fighting was over, it was ordered that any alien technology be recovered and transported back to Earth so that UNSC scientists could study it in the hopes that it could be retrofitted for usage by UNSC forces in the future. With all preparations completed, the fleet left Earth for the Shanxi colony, or at least whatever remained of it.

Non-essential info for the Federation of Greater Austria Anthem of German Austria (and the Federation as a whole (in a modified form)) "Deutschösterreich, du herrliches Land" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6ddEW04r_0 Oath that all members of the Austrian Armed Forces are required to take before joining (English Translation): "I, -insert name here-, do solemnly pledge my allegiance to the Federation of Greater Austria, to uphold her constitution and the UNSC charter. As God is my witness, I pledge my life and abilities in service of the state, and should the need arise, I will lay down my life for the safety of her people." Major News Networks (more will be added over time): ANN News - ANN News is a Vienna-based news network that, while not actually run by the government, does receive government and public funding in a similar vein to the BBC of our world. Biographies (again, more will be added later) Johan Pieck - Johan Pieck, born in the city of Salzburg, is the interim Prime Minister of the Federation. As he is only an acting Prime Minister, he is overseen by the Federal Council, which controls the nation in all but name until elections can be held. At the age of 23, he was appointed as diplomat to France, becoming the youngest person to hold that position in the history of Austria. Upon the abdication of Emperor Franz-Josef II, he was appointed as Interim Prime Minister, a post he is to hold until elections can be arranged. Will he seek election, or will he withdraw from politics to spend more time with his family? Only time will tell. Wilhelm Adenauer - The current Governor of German Austria, Wilhelm Adenauer recently announced his candidacy for the position of Prime Minister of the Federation of Greater Austria. At the age of 29, he is currently the youngest governor of any region of Austria in history, and if he is to become Prime Minister, he could very well become one of the youngest national leaders of the modern world. Recent polls show that 53.2% of the Austrian populace is supportive of his campaign, and while this is subject to change, it seems fairly likely he will be the first Prime Minister of the Federation of Greater Austria.

It has been 100 years... One hundred years since the first empire died. One hundred years since the Second Empire rose from her ashes, and at last, the Empire is united. However, as Austria expanded, her people continued to call for free elections. At first, this issue was mitigated by permitting voting for representatives to the Imperial Parliament in Vienna back in '73, however, as time passed, the calls of the people could no longer be ignored. Only five years ago, the rulers of the various constituent nations of the Austrian Empire were forced to abdicate in favor of elected officials, however, this was simply not enough. It is now the 5th of November, 2027, and as the people of the nation celebrate the reunification of the nation, the Kaiser, Franz-Josef II von Habsburg-Lorraine, prepares to give his last speech before abdicating his throne and taking up residence within Prague Castle in Bohemia. At approximately 5:00 PM CET, Kaiser Franz-Josef II walked up to a balcony overlooking what looked like an ocean of people, both citizens of Vienna and members of the press from around the world (and perhaps a few tourists as well). With much regret, he prepared to give the speech. "My fellow citizens of the Austrian Empire. Today, we look back on the past hundred years, to our success... and failure. As the last century came to a close, we granted you the right to vote for your leadership. However, we have now seen the truth. The monarchy, at least as we know it, has proven ineffective at dealing with the various threats that have come against us, whether it be Rokkenjima or the Insurrection in Ruthenia. For this, I... I have some announcements to make. First of all, I am officially announcing my abdication from the throne of the Austrian Empire. No more shall the Habsburg family hold absolute power over the state. Instead, we shall renounce our claim to the throne of Austria and only serve as ambassadors to our most trusted allies. It is with this that I am proud to announce the establishment of the Federation of Greater Austria, which will, at least for the time being, be led by Prime Minister Johan Pieck until proper elections can be held. Third and finally, I wish to simply pledge my undying support to the Federation of Greater Austria, and should the day come that we be forced to take up arms against any threat to our people, I would be proud to fall in the line of duty protecting the nation. That is all." Franz said as he looked out upon the crowd. Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted "Gott rette den Kaiser! Es lebe die Föderation von Großösterreich!", prompting the rest of the crowd to do the same out of respect. Once they had finished, it was prepared for the Imperial flag to be lowered one last time, never to be raised again. As this went on, an orchestral version of the Imperial anthem was played in a somber fashion while some in the crowd sang the lyrics alongside it. And thus, as if it had happened in a flash, the Empire had come to an end, and the Federation was formed.

Well, at least it's better than doing nothing and acting with impunity when in reality, such actions would likely bring invasion by other states...
