Redosian Empire

I was playing the game Hex Empire and I won, by using a nation called Redosia, on map No. 151688. So, I have decided to write a novel, involving characters, and the events, over the course of this war. And after it, way after it.

'''Disclaimer: This is based on my victory in the game, and by my imaginations of events, causes, and conclusions. It does not mean to intrude on the copyright to any material in the game, only for the entertainment of the reading public at this wikia.'''

Formation of Redosia
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, a array of 15 new countries came into existence. Emerging from these was Russia, which had formed the main component and dominant territory of the Soviet Union, and thus became the most powerful of the new countries. Russia despised it's surrounding territories, once ruled by the Russians under their Empire and the Soviet Union. To counter this, Russia established bases in other countries, mainly the ones surrounding them, placed economic and military embargoes against most of it's neighbors, and helped provoke civil conflict and economic depression within it's neighbors. Russia also started secretly funneling Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda with money, soldiers, and weapons, and encouraged Iran and North Korea (but secretly), to voice hostility against the United States.

At this time, Egypt in Africa increasingly became hostile towards Israel, cutting it off from trade in the Red Sea and supporting Palestanian insurgents. Thus the stage was set: North Korea would be the core for the future Bluegaria, the United States would form the core for the future Violetnam, Russia would form the core of Redosia, and Egypt would form the core for Greenland.

Soon, Europe and Russia started growing close together. In May 2008, the Treaty of Lisbon was signed, uniting Europe into one single entity. Europe then signed a general trading agreement with Russia, and they developed a military pact. These steps improved and even encouraged further their relationship.

On 14 June 2009, a conference between Europe and Russia proposed a absolute unification, and, for a sense of creativity and of a new meaning, suggested the name Redosia, after the old British colony of Rhodesia. The proposal was approved, and negotiations began, with representatives appointed by the King of Europe and the President of Russia. The Acts of Union was proposed, and laid out the following terms:


 * On 1 January 2010, the Kingdom of Europe and the Federation of Russia were to be merged and united into one entity, styled The Kingdom of Redosia, and the King of Europe (William I) would become the first King of Redosia, reigning with absolute power. London would be Redosia's capital.


 * The flag of the Kingdom, it's currency, navy and army organization, and ensigns, are to be determined by the King through Royal Decree.


 * The King is to be advised by a Supreme Consulatory, consisting of 20 members, appointed and dismissed by the king at will. It would grant taxes, organize the budget, fund, discipline, and organize the military, and pass laws. The king could propose, push through, or veto laws, which would be proposed and debated in his name. The king would also call and dissolve the Consulatory at will.


 * The King would be head of state, with the powers over the Consulatory and final say and proposal over laws, the power to issue royal decrees, proclamations, orders, edicts, resolutions, and reports, supreme command over the armed forces, and aboslute say over government expenditures and approval of the budget.

After the representatives signed the Act on 24 July, the Act was submitted to the King of Europe and his Council for approval. The King's Council approved the Act on 28 July, and the King granted it the Royal Accent on 30 July. On 5 August, the Council of Russia ratified the Act, 50-20. On 18 August, the State Duma apporved the Act 407-100. The President of Russia signed the Act on 1 September.

On 3 September, the Russian Parliament dissolved and transferred state power to the President. President Medevev then issued a Special Ukase that suspended the State Constitution and instituted a state of emergency that would serve as a bridge of transition.

Europe and Russia immediately sought recognition of their new country, Redosia, before 1 January. The United Nations Security Council issued a resolution granting recognition on 8 September, thanks in part to Russia and Europes' seats on the Council. Most of the worlds' nations, with the notable exception of the new Bluegaria, granted recognition by 18 December.

On 1 January 2010, the Redosian flag was raised for the first time, Russia and Europe ceased to exist, and a new world power came into force. William I of Europe became King William I of Redosia, while President Dmitri Medevev of Russia became Prime Minister Dmitri Medevev of Redosia.

Formation of Bluegaria
On 5 June 2009, North Korea's Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and Most Dear Leader, Kim Jong II, proclaimed the existence of the Kingdom of Bluegaria, naming himself James I of Bluegaria, to make himself sound English, and to honor himself. He confirmed himself of a English sucessor by taking a American baby boy as his own son. The new James I sought out recognition of North Korea's transformation into Bluegaria from the United Nations. Despite heavy debating, the UN approved the existence of Bluegaria on 11 July.

Unlike the soon-to-be Redosia, James I did not issue a sort of Constitution or at least general code of law, instead declaring he ruled by decree, as absolute administrator and commander of the armed forces. He did however, begin a program of massive military expansion. On 8 June, Iran merged into the still-small Bluegaria, thus giving James I control of the world's second largest oil reserves, plus a large proportion of new subjects. By 1 January, a wave of fear had caused China, India, Bandgladesh, South Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Bhutan, Nepal, and Pakistan to merge with Bluegaria, thus making it the world's most populous country. In September, Iraq, Qatar, the United Emirates, Yemen, Oman, and Bahrain were occupied with no opposition by Bluegaria.

Formation of Violetnam
To counter the threat of Bluegaria, the President of the United States, Barrack Obama, negotiated a deal with Canada and Mexico over absolute unification. Obama and Mexico proposed a republic, but Canada advocated a monarchy, and won support from Europe for this stance. As a compromise, the Terms of Union was signed on 4 September 2009, between representatives of Mexico, Canada, and America.

Terms were:


 * On 12 December, the Kingdom of Violetnam would be proclaimed, as a creativity from the Vietnam War, combined with the word Violet. The President of the United States, Barrack Obama, would become Barrack I, King of Violetnam.


 * All ensigns, flags, the currency, and military organization would be determined by the King through Executive Decree.


 * As compensation to the American ideals of liberty and freedom, a set of rights are guaranteed for Violetnam's people. Also, a Violentian Congress would become the supreme legislative body, consisting of two houses, a House of Lords, appointed and dismissed by the king at will, and a House of Commonalites, elected from among two hundred districts by direct and popular ballot. The Congress would grant and levy taxes, excrises, and imposts, organize, fund, and discipline the military, coin money and declare weights and measures, supervise the government, and the power to approve budgets. The Lords would approve financially-oriented bills, approve the budget, coin money and declare weights and measures, and approve appointments made by the king. The Commonalities would levy taxes, handle military affairs, supervise government actions, and hold levy of veto over the king.


 * The King of Violetnam would be head of state and chief executive, honored in prestige. The king would issue executive decrees, orders, edicts, and laws, (with the signature of his prime minister), declare war and make peace, sign or make treaties, appoint and dismiss government officials (with the approval of the Lords), grant honors and awards, organize the budget (with approval laid by the Lords), and sign all Congressional statues and laws. The king could veto or return Congressional statues or laws, which the Commonalities can override by a two-thirds majority. The king would also lay out congressional agenda, and call and dissolve the parliament in emergency matters and special elections.


 * The king's prime minister would run the government day to day and propose Violentian policies in Congress. His signature would be needed for Executive Decrees issued by the king.

After the Terms were signed by the Delegates, they were submitted to the Canadian Parliament for approval. The Canadian Senate ratified the Terms on 5 September, followed by the House of Commons on 7 September. The Governor-General, Michelle Jean, granted the Act Royal Assent in the name of the King of Canada on 10 September. The Terms were then submitted to the United States Congress. The Senate approved the act, 69-31, on 13 September. The House of Representatives approved the act on 15 September, by a margin of 300-100. The President of the United States signed the Act on 18 September. Mexico's president granted the Terms approval on 20 September, which was confirmed by the Mexican Congress on 24 September.

On 12 December, Washington D.C. became Violetnam City, the Violentian flag was hoisted in the US, Mexico, and Canada, and Barrack Obama became Barrack I. The United Nations granted Violetnam recognition on 14 December. On 23 December, the Organization of American States dissolved, and their remaining member countries (all of the Americas outside of Violetnam) were absorbed by the new Violetnam.

Formation of Greenland
In Africa, the African population was considering seriously at the thought of being one. In July 2009, the African countries had signed a general military and customs union. Egypt also began a colonization of Greenland, by now abandoned by Denmark. It also established scientific posts all over Antartica, and leased bases in Nunvaut.

Eventually, a proposal of absolute unification for Africa, Greenland, Antartica, and the bases in Nunvavut was proposed by President of South Africa Jacob Zuma. He realized a kingdom was needed for this unity. The parliaments of Africa approved and a delegation met from 1 August-1 September 2009.

Finally, the African and Greenlandian Treaty was signed, by representatives of each African country and settlers in Antartica and Greenland, and of the bases in Nunvaut:


 * Henceforth, on 1 January 2010 (considing with the founding of Redosia), the Settlements of Greenland, the Settlements of Antartica, the bases in Nunvaut, and all Africa, would be united into one entity known as the Kingdom of Greenland.


 * The flag, ensigns, military organization, and currency would be determined by the King through Executive Decree.


 * The King of Greenland was to be a person, elected every four years, by the popular vote of the people, through direct ballot. Jacob Zuma would become Jacob I, King of Greenland, and he would be up for election in 2014. The King would call and dissolve his Council at will, lay out parilamentary agenda, issue executive decrees, edicts, orders, and proclamations, command the military, propose and organize the budget, and grant companies.


 * The Greenlandian Council would consist of 52 members, one elected from each of the 52 divisions of Greenland (the 50 former countries in Africa, Greenland, and Antartica). The Council would levy and grant taxes, approve the budget, pass laws, and fund the military. The Council would be called and dissolved by the king at will, who would also decide where and when it will meet, and what it will discuss. All laws passed by the Council require the Royal Accent of the King. If the King withholds Royal Assent, the Bill does not become law. The King can also delay accent or change parts of the bill to his liking.

Misgivings were given by African countries, including Egypt and South Africa, about the naming of this new union Greenland. However, when Nelson Mandela and even Al-Qadalfi of Libya expressed their support for the Treaty, popular support was boosted and all African countries had approved the Treaty by 1 December.

On 1 January, a month after the final ratification of the Treaty, all African flags were lowered, and the new Greenladian flag was raised. Jacob Zuma became King Jacob I and the Kingdom of Greenland came into being. The UN recognized the new Greenland on 3 January. On 8 January, Greenland secured control of Jordan and Saudi Arabia by the Treaty of Beirut.

Bluegaria instigates War
With control of vast land, Bluegaria launched a invasion of the Central Asian lands, alarming the new Redosia (4 January 2010). Redosia immediately mobilized troops to it's southernmost border and swiftly occupied Mongolia, but allowed James I to take over Central Asia.

James I then set his eyes on Azerbajan, Georgia, and Armenia, wanting them as soon as possible. A invasion force of 600,000 was grouped, with 1,000 tanks and 500 machine guns, on the Bluegarian border with Azerbajan. Azerbajan, Georgia, and Armenia all asked Redosia for "military protection". Redosia sent in 986,000 troops into all three countries and "took care" of them. Bluegaria was alarmed, but still decided a war against Redosia was imminent.

Redosia however secured a military alliance with Violetnam, who still controlled Afghanistan and Burma (after 15 January), and Greenland, which controlled Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Bluegaria became very worried, and decided war with Greenland and Violetnam also was imminent.

On 24 January, Bluegaria secretly stationed some 500,000 troops in Pakistan, 490,000 troops in Iran, more then a million in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand, and a astounding five million in Bluegarian Iraq. While the Violentians were celebrating the Golden Globe, the Greenlandians their African Cultural Festival, and the Redosians their Berlin Film Festival, Bluegarians were arming themselves. A Bluegarian fleet of 500 ships had also secretly taken all the Pacific, except Violentian Samoa, Redosian Micronesia, Greenlandian Polynesia, Violentian Guam, Violentian Marianas, Violentian Midway, and Violentian Hawaii. A Bluegarian fleet was also sent to Antartica.

At 4:00 PM, January 24, 2010, more then 10 million Bluegarian troops took action, invading Redosian Transcacausia, Greenlandian Arabia, Violentian Afghanistan, Violentian Burma, and all Redosian, Greenlandian, and Violentian possessions in the Pacific. Bluegarian fleets invaded Antartica and bombed Greenlandian forces in the Artic. James I of Bluegaria issued a declaration of war against Redosia, Violetnam, and Greenland. The Allies were unprepared.

On 25 January, Redosian Transcacausia fell, despite bitter Redosian resistance. Violentian troops in Afghanistan tried to airlift out of that country, but failed and surrendered by noon. Bluegarian forces had captured Riyadh and received help from Bluegarian units in Yemen, Oman, Qatar, and the Emirates, bursting through the Arabian Desert and surronding Mecca. However, the Bluegarians flopped in Burma. When Rangoon was attacked, the Violentians reacted quickly. They landed 45,000 paratroopers in the Burman Forest, stabbing the Bluegarians in the back, who remained in Burma's few plains. The Bluegarian forces were forced to fall back to the outskirts of Rangoon. However, 600,000 further Bluegarians were landed in the Forest as well, stabbing the Violentians. Finally, on 4 February, the Violentians in Burma surrendered, after they lost contact with Violentian radio centers in the Americas.

Bluegaria attacks Greenland in the Middle East
Bluegaria then launched a air and water assault on Mecca on 6 Febuary. The Greenlandians, fighting to the death, stopped the attack and even retook half of Saudi Arabia. In June, the Bluegarians were back at Riyadh. This also coupled the Greenlandian invasion of Yemen and Oman, and their blockade of the western branch of the Persian Gulf.

James I, however, was not determined to lose so early in the war. In August, the king personally visted Bluegarian troops in Iraq and eastern Saudi Arabia, giving them a speech that raised their morale. With morale surging, and their king fighting and suffering with them, the Bluegarians launched a massive offensive on 8 September, attacking from the Emirates, Qatar, Riyadh, Iraq, and from Aden, Yemen. A total of 24 million Bluegarian forces, 10 million Bluegarian nationals, and 14 million conscripted from Bluegarian Iran and Iraq, attacked the only 5.6 million Greenlandian troops in the western Middle East.

By 18 September, Bluegarian troops had retaken Oman and the rest of Yemen from Greenland, although losing 400 tanks and 560,000 soldiers during the process, due to fierce Greenlandian resistance. A Greenlandian offensive into north-east Yemen was driven back with crippling losses on 4 October, losing 443 tanks and 55,000 soldiers, 50,000 dead, 3,000 wounded, and 2,000 captured.

Meanwhile, the Redosians had launched a massive offensive into Central Asia, attacking with 1.5 million soldiers, 780 tanks, and 4,500 machine guns, including 100 volley bombers. The Bluegarians, with only 40,000 soldiers, 20 tanks, and 300 machine guns in Central Asia, were alarmed and immediately telegrammed the Bluegarian forces in China and Iran for help. The Bluegarians, however, were still establishing their lines of communication across their sprawling kingdom, and were concerned with the conflict in the Middle East and only sent 9 tanks and 4 divisions to help in time. Despite this low amount of support, the Bluegarians resisted heavily. The force was overwhelming, however, and by 8 November, Central Asia had fallen to Redosia. This proved Redosia's first major victory in the war and Bluegaria's first loss against Redosia.

Bluegaria decided to let Redosia keep Central Asia, and to focus all attention on Greenland and Violetnam until they were finally defeated. This was a fatal mistake on Bluegaria's part-one that allowed Redosia to invade it more then forty years later. Despite this, Bluegarian and Redosian naval fleets usually engaged eachother in the Black and Caspian Seas and Redosia launched a steady campaign in the Pacific.

Redosia had recently invaded Bluegarian-occupied Transcacausia, with less then three thousand troops and 90 tanks. However, the Bluegarians defeated them, and by January, the border was unchanged.

Bluegaria plans invasion of Greenland
The Redosians, severely overconfident after their success in Central Asia, sent a million troops and nearly 6,000 tanks to Mecca to give a boost to their allies, the Greenlandians. Despite this pouring of Redosian support, Greenland continued to fail and by June Medina had fallen. The Greenlandians' last stronghold in Saudi Arabia, Mecca was surronded to the North, West and southeast by the Bluegarians. Determined not to let it fall, the Greenlandians sent in troops to the area, trying as best as they could to hold it. The Bluegarians, however, could not bypass the fortifications and defense lines on Mecca's outskirts, and so they decided to blockade the town from receiving any supplies. The Redosians, however, had control of the Red Sea, and continually shipped food, clothing, and weapons. After the rest of Greenland fell, Mecca was taken by Redosian troops, and it remained in Redosian hands throughout the war, despite continual Bluegarian offensives.

Bypassing Mecca, the Bluegarians reach Ammon, in Greenlandian Jordan. The Greenlandian troops there fell back to Israel, fortified the Suez Canal positions, and set up a huge line of defense from the West Bank to Alexandria. They placed over 8 million troops in this area, and a million in the West Bank alone, by now the frontline. The Greenlandians also moved their capital from Cairo to Cape Town.

The Bluegarians, realizing a attack through the Suez into Egypt was impossible, decided instead to land at Somalia, Nigeria, Mozambique, South Africa, and Western Sahara. Greenland's name could no longer really apply, since both the island of Greenland and Antartica were now in Bluegarian hands. The Bluegarians planned their invasion of Greenland for over two years, and in the meantime began their offensives in the Americas and the Pacific.

Bluegaria fights Redosia in Pacific
The Bluegarians launched a massive campaign in the Pacific against Redosian Micronesia, the only foreign holding in the region. The Redosians had shipped in hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of battleships and destroyers to the area, determined to hold Micronesia. Despite this pouring, the Bluegarians pressed foward. They attacked from all directions, but the Redosians continued to resist.

The Pacific front remained until 2018. During that time, the Bluegarians continued launching attacks into Micronesia, and the Redosians, with open supply lines, continued to drive them out. The Bluegarians discovered this open line and sent ships there, cutting it off. With supplies low, the Redosians started to starve, but they continued to fight, as hard as they could, by using food and material from Micronesian islands. But they bogged down, and finally, on 13 June 2018, surrendered to the Bluegarians. Redosia's only overseas Asian holding (besides Mecca) was lost.

Bluegaria invades Violetnam
Meanwhile, James I was also planning a invasion for Violetnam. South America and the Carribean, were heavily undefended, as was Artic Canada and Alaska. The Bluegarians decided to invade by these vantage points.

In June 2012, the Violentians were just sitting around, preparing their next war plans and basically life was idle. The Redosians however, had detected the invasion code of Bluegaria against Violetnam. The Redosians warned the Violentians, who ignorantly denied the evidence. On 8 June, suddenly, 3.4 million Bluegarian troops invaded South America by means of former Brazil, Chile, Guyana, Columbia, and Peru. A Bluegarian force of 400,000 also landed in former Panama and 300,000 at poorly defended Yucaktan Pennisula. The Violentians were shocked and by September had lost all of South America except Suriname, and over half of Central America. Redosia's colony of French Guiana, as well the Redosian colonies of the Falkand Islands, Netherland Antilles, Gudeloupe, Martinqiue, Bermuda, Angiulla, Redosian Virgins, Turks and Caicos, and Caymens were not attacked by Bluegaria, because they were heavily fortified.

The Bluegarians were led in their attack by General Miki Chung, a man who grew up in China before the war. Chung was a heavy believer in James I, and admitted he would go to any lengths to ensure loyalty to his master. He was also a brilliant military strategist, and had led the successful offensives on foreign colonies in Asia at the beginning of the war.

However, Chung was overly defensive. He believed in a swift first offensive, but after that, a lull-down by the attacker. He stated that the attacker should always consolidate it's hold on it's gained ground, should build forts and defensive lines, and hold back defender attacks. He then believed a second main offensive should be launched, and the process would be repeated until the enemy was conquered. This strategy however had faults: the defender would be able to launch more and more raids and front line assaults, and they could be on the offensive. This would cause the downfall of Bluegaria.

By the end of the year, most of South America and Central America was in Bluegaria's hands, and it lulled down according to Chung's plan, building the American Line and constructing forts, anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank guns, wires, masses of soldiers, forts, and thousands of batallions.

Violetnam counter strikes
In February 2014, after two years of organization and lull-down, the Bluegarians launched a second offensive against the remaining Violentian lands in northern Mexico. The Violentians, however, had prepared themselves, and were also superior in numbers: the Bluegarians attacked with 500,000 men, but the Violentians had 800,000 defenders. They also had another advantage: their possessions in the Caribbean, whom Chung had ignored and did not invade.

In April 2014, 1.4 million Violentian troops from the Caribbean, supported by 5,600 tanks, 4,100 guns, and more then 300 fighters and 149 bombers, attacked the Yucatan Peninsula, the Panama Canal, and Nicaragua. Chung had 540,000 men, 5,000 guns, and 4,500 tanks defending these places, but they were among the weakest and under-equipped of the Bluegarian forces. Almost immediately, the weak Bluegarian defenders fell back, abandoning their positions.

When Chung received news of the counter-offensive, he took his knife and stabbed himself, muttering as he died "It's over". With no commander, the Bluegarians attacking Violentian Mexico and those defending against the Violentian troops all surrendered. This was a blow: some 5.5 million Bluegarians became prisoners of the Violentians. All of Central America once again passed into Violentian hands.

The Bluegarian forces in South America got afraid, but determination and will pressed them on. There was still some 15 million Bluegarian troops in South America. They put one million at the border between Bluegarian Columbia and Violentian Panama. They stationed more then 4 million men in Brazil. The remaining 11 million were centered in the Amazon and in the western highlands.

This allowed the Violentians a way to attack by two vintage points: through Argentina, through the Andes, and also they could also gain permission from Redosia to attack from Guiana. Gathering a fleet of 450 destoryers, 4 carriers, 19 crusiers, and 554 submarines carrying more then 17.9 million Violentian troops and 4.4 million Redosian Marines, the Violentians organized. They had to destroy the Bluegarian fleet of 500 destroyers, 7 carriers, 24 crusiers, and 600 submarines that guarded the coasts.

On 5 July 2014, the Battle of Curacao occured, off the coast of Venezeula. At first, the Violentians were losing, with the Bluegarian admiral, Hertex Curacs, able to sink 120 Violentian destroyers, damage 100 others, sink one cruiser, damage two others, destroy three carriers, and sink 300 submarines. The Violentians however counter-struck, using a hurricane to their advantage, completely destroying all but five cruisers of the Bluegarian fleet, all five badly damaged. This was a huge blow to the Bluegarian navy, losing a fourth of their total fleet.

In September 2014, after recovering from the Battle of Curacao, the Violentians landed some 21.9 million men in the Andes and in Venezeula and Argentina. The Redosians attacked the northern branch of the Amazon and also attacked Bluegarian Suriname and Bluegarian Guiana. The Bluegarians were surprised, and General Sung (the new commander) ordered that crops be burned, roads and bridges destroyed, villages cleared, and cities leveled. He also destroyed farming grounds, leaving a scorched land to be occupied by the Allies. Sung also destroyed half of the rain forest, killing many millions of snakes, fish, monkeys, and numerous unknown species. He also destroyed many crops and drained half of the Amazon. His actions ruined permanently most of South America, scaring a large portion of the Earth's surface.

Sung and his men also committed war atrocities: they killed men and the sick, raped women, beat children, and kidnapped many of the elderly. The Violentians and Redosians were sickened by this. Sung had even herded South Americans into concentration camps and murdered them.

By July 2015, Sung had lost more then 6 million soldiers (a fourth of his total manpower), 5,000 tanks (all but 3,000 of his tanks), 10,000 machine guns (a third of his guns), and over 900 fighters and 500 bombers, about a third of his air force groups. With almost his entire force gone, Sung retreated to Uruguay and the easternmost pocket of Argentina. He decided to hold this land down to the last soldier. Sung's troops built a line called the Bueno Aries-Montevideo Line, stretching from Montevideo down to Bueno Aries. It had four defense lines. The first stretched into the neck of the Violentian front line, and was the heaviest defended, with over 3,000 machine guns, 500 outposts, 3.4 million defenders, five lines of thick barbed wire, dug in trenches, 5,000 cannons, and four defense walls. It also had anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank guns, natural barricades, and built in mounds of earth, supported by lines of electrical-charged fence. The second and third defense lines had 1,000 machine guns each, 600 outposts, 1 million defenders each, 3,000 cannons, and three defense walls. The final defense line ran across the center of Montevideo and Bueno Aries, using the river as a front barrier, plus lines of machine guns, mounds of earth, barbed wire, and 10 million defenders, supported by 190 aircraft and 300 tanks.

The Violentians made the costly mistake of attacking these defense lines. In August 2015 1.4 million troops attacked the first defense line. Badly outnumbered, the Violentians charged into the field, being mowed down by Bluegarian machine guns and cannons. They bombed the lines, threw flamethrowers, and shelled, but could not break through the lines. In the end, out of 1.4 million Violentian attackers, more then 1.3 million died, and 300,000 wounded. Out of 600 attacking tanks, 540 were destoryed and 40 severely damaged. Out of 300 bombers, 290 were destoryed and 10 severely damaged. Out of 5,100 attacking fighters, 4,900 were destoryed and over a thousand severely damaged. After this massive defeat, the Violentians would never again launch reckless assaults.

But Bluegarian losses were also heavy. About 1.4 million defenders died, and a million were wounded. About 2,000 machine guns were destoryed, as was 320 outposts, four lines of wire, three-fifths of the trenches, 4,900 cannons, and one defense wall (two others severely damaged). The Bluegarians' morale crashed and their size was decreased by a fifth.

Invasion of Greenland
The Bluegarians' attention had been diverted to the invasion in Violetnam, so the invasion of Greenland was delayed to 2016. The Bluegarians had assembled a massive force: 4.5 million troops, 1,000 fighters and bombers, 3,000 machine guns, and 578 tanks were to land at Western Sahara, 13.9 million troops, 4,000 fighters and bombers, 6,000 machine guns, and 800 tanks at Somalia, 18.7 million troops, 9,000 fighters and bombers, 8,000 machine guns, and 1,000 tanks at Nigeria, 25.6 million troops, 6,000 fighters and bombers, 9,000 machine guns, and 2,400 tanks at Mozambique, 36.6 million troops, 18,000 fighters and bombers, 15,000 machine guns, and 20,000 tanks at South Africa. This had required a massive moblization of industry and the populace, which will be describe in section 3.

On 5 May 2016, the troop detachments landed in Western Sahara, Somalia, Nigeria, Mozambique, and South Africa. The Greenlandians were unprepared, and outnumbered: the new king, Nelson II (Jacob Zuma had retired in that same year), was ignorant and gave poor commands, including never surrending and never retreating: this was a bad command, for 24.5 million starving, under-equipped, poorly disciplined, and poorly cordinated Greenlandian troops faced 102.9 million well prepared, well-disciplined, and well-organized Bluegarian troops. The Greenlandians had 3,000 machine guns against 41,000 machine guns manned by the Bluegarians.

However, more then 300 million African civillians helped the Greenlandian military, by slaughtering Bluegarian soldiers, bombing Bluegarian strongholds, attacking Bluegarian patrols, and passing military secrets to the Greenlandians. As a result, a stalemate ensued, and Bluegaria had to send 40 million troops each year into Africa, draining potential energy and personnel that could be used in assaulting Redosia and re-attacking Violetnam. The Greenlandians held out until 2026.

Section 3: The Governments and Economies of the Warring Nations
This section will look into the governments and economies of each nation in the Great International War, henceforth known as the War.

Violetnam: A Government in Conflict
During the war, a heavy conflict in the Violentian Government arose. According to the Terms of Union, the king commanded the armed forces, and authorized the deployment of nuclear weapons. However, the king needed the apporval of Congress to deploy and moblize troops. The congress also had the sole power of declaring war, of organizing operations, and of disciplining and instructing the military. The king also appointed and dismissed military officers, but the Commonalites had to apporve them. Another problem was of the budget: although the king organized and executed the budget, Congress apporved it and even could change parts of it.

In June 2013, a argument within the government erupted. King Barrack I had drawn up a new plan of executing the war: the Obama plan, which called for extra defensive measures and improved fortification. The king had issued a writ of command to the forces, annoucing the plan. However, Congress, with the power to organize and instruct the military, declared the writ unconsistutional and issued it's own war plan. The king vetoed Congress's war plan, and the Commonalites overturned the veto. The military was divided: half supported the king, half supported Congress.

A sprial of conflict started. When Congress passed the Discpline Code of August 2013, the king refused to assent it and sent the bill back, because he objected to "the inclusion of weak defense measures". The Commonalites overturned the veto and initated the Code anyways. The king then refused to enforce the Code and commanded his generals not to either, to which they duitfully complied. Congress called the king's actions treason and halted all government funds flowing to the king. King Barrack had had enough of the behavior of Congress. In May 2014, the king issued an emergency decree, dissolving Congress. However, Congress refused to dissolve, and, with the support of the people and half the military, declared Obama's reign over. The king, with his half of the military supporting him, refused to give up his Crown, and marched in on the Capitol Building, killing the members of Congress. With Congress dead, the people revolted. Even the Violentian Courts declared Obama's actions unlawful. Finally, in August 2014, the king was killed by some partisans. The leader of the revolt, Sarah Palin, a rising politcal figure and opponent of Obama's policies, proclaimed herself Queen of Violetnam. The new Queen ordered the election of a new Congress, and forcefully initated the Violentian Terms of Union. From here after, Congress would gain more power.

Violetnam's Congress becomes More Powerful
After the 1st Congress of Queen Palin convened, the Queen issued a statement, stating her goals:

As the Queen of Violetnam, I will work for increased power for my most loyal Legislature (Congress), and to make my self more of a constitutional monarch, protecting the people and interests of my congress, instead of my interests, as the despot King Obama had,

After this, the Queen, with the advice of her Ministers, proposed the Constitutional Reform Act of 2014. This Act reformed the Terms of Union, and reorganized the Government:


 * Congress was renamed the Violentian Parilament


 * The Sovereign would command the forces, appoint and dismiss officals, organize operations, and plan strategy, but Parilament would regulate, organize, and discpline the military, would apporve operations, apporve the appointment and dismissal of officals, and grant or remove militaries for the Sovereign to use in military campaigns.


 * Only Parilament would grant or withold taxes, duties, tariffs, and excrises, but the Sovereign would initate, collect, and propose them.


 * The Bill of Rights would be guranteed: this time, the Sovereign could not arrest anyone without apporval by the Courts or by a Warrant; the Sovereign could only quarter troops in homes according to law, and the Sovereign could not influence trials in any way.


 * The Prime Minister was now responsible for directing the Sovereign's actions concerning Executive Orders, on the selection and removal of officals, grants of patents and charters, grants of passports and documents, conferal of awards and honors,  and the regulation of the civil service.


 * The Courts now could declare actions of the Sovereign illegal, and could also do the same to Parilament. Members of the Courts would be appointed by the Sovereign, but on the proposal of Parilament, and in the name of the Prime Minister. The Courts thus gain a new vestige of power.

The Commonalites quickly apporved the Act, but the Lords were more hesistant. The Queen, using the Lords Appointment Act 2011 as a protection, dismissed many of the Lords, replacing them with conservatives loyal to the Crown. These conservatives quickly turned the tide and voted for the Reforms Act. The Queen granted it royal assent in September 2014, and it was initated in December.

After this Act, the Sovereign increasingly became a constitutional figurehead.

Violentian War Moblizations
Throughout the war, Violetnam heavily moblized for the war. In 2012, the king had issued a order establishing the War Production Board, to regulate military production and distrbution during the war. More importantly, it was granted the power to "levy all regulations on industry....to shut down unions when striking....moblize factories....control wages and prices". This was one of the only measures of the king Congress did not intefere with. In 2015, Queen Palin extended the War Production Order further, by initating a program to make all private coporations state-controlled: one of her only non-conservative actions. In June 2016, Parilament passed the Freedoms Restriction Act, proposed by the Prime Minister, Edward Kennedy Jr. This Act restricted the freedoms of Violentians:


 * The freedom of speech is suspended. All opponents of the war are to be arrested and charged for treason. Freedom of the press is also suspended: the government assumes control of television, radio, book publication, movies, newspapers, magazines, and computer information. Any newspapers opposing the war are shut down. Movie studios and television companies are confiscated when they oppose government policy.


 * The right to a fair trial and the right of habeas corpus are suspended: the Sovereign now can arrest and detain anyone without trial; any trials are presided by a government appointed commissioner: people of all races, both sexes, and all origins can be arrested when suspected of supporting the enemy.


 * The government is allowed to execute prisioners without a court order in times of extreme national emergency.


 * All telephone conversations and online chats are to be patrolled by government agents. Police are allowed to trash houses and invade the privacy of persons, public and private, when they are suspected of being a enemy agent.

Queen Palin, in a liberal move, refused to assent the Bill, sending a Objection about the invasion on freedoms and liberties. She begged "for Parilament not to overide my veto, for the sake of the people". The Commonalites however refused to consider her plead and overturned her Veto, sending the Act directly to the Office of Royal Registering. The Queen ordered the Office to wait for three and a half days to register the Bill (the Consitutional Reform Act said the Office had three days to register a Bill into the Law, or it would not become law). The Office did so. However, the Royal Court overturned the Queen's actions, declaring them unconsitutional and having the Bill registered, thus nulling a part of the Constitutional Reform Act. Queen Palin reacted by appointing, without her minister's advise, justices loyal to the Crown. Parilament however, refused to accept the appointments on constitutional grounds. From here on after, the Queen would try to find ways to maintain a sort of degree of power.

Industrial moblization
The War Production Board heavily moblized Violentian industry. About a fifth of Violentian consumer goods factories were converted to military factories, and another three-fifths had a third of their output converted to military. Each factory in Violetnam (there was more then 40 million of them), churned out 8,000 machine guns, 560 tanks, 2,400 bombers, 9,000 fighters, 1,400 cannons, 5,000 pairs of uniforms, and almost 20,000 warships weekly. Factories that lagged behind were closed or taken by the government.

The Production Board also set quotas of consumer goods, wages, and prices. Before the war, the average Violentian worker made $80 a hour on the factoryline. When the War began, the Production Board lowered the average wage to $10 a hour. The government also raised prices on the average consumer good, which I will detail in the next article-section. The government also decreed that only 3% of each consumer good could be used for the public.

Collecting Money for the War Effort
During the war, the government raised existing taxes and even created new ones. The following are examples:


 * Parilament raised the income tax from 6% to 87%, and most of the burden fell on the middle-class and rich, who paid over three-fourths of the income tax, while a fourth was paid by the poor.


 * Parilament raised the property tax from $1,000 a year to $5,000 a month, especially on the middle-class and wealthy. Again, the poor only paid a fourth of this amount.


 * The sales tax was raised from $0.15 per grocery to $4.55 per grocery. The sales tax on furniture was raised from $16.50 to $100.90.


 * A new meat tax was introduced, starting at $5.66 per slice of meat, eventually rising to $10.66 per slice of meat.


 * The clothing tax was introduced, laying a cost of $50.00 per suit of clothing purchased. A tax was also laid for each article of clothing monthly, $16.77.


 * The gasoline tax was introduced, adding $0.60 to the price of regular gasoline to be paid to the government. Later, this is raised to $1.50.


 * A coporation tax was introduced, seizing from coporations and companies 40% of their profits, and a third of their sales gains.


 * A bails tax was introduced, adding $100.99 to a regular bail price when arrested, to go to the government.


 * A internet tax was introduced, laying a amount of $60.70 for every hour of internet use. This money, again, would go to the government, and not the internet services.


 * A telephone tax was introduced, laying a amount of $50.90 per telephone conversation and $16.00 per use of telephone.


 * A airline tax was introduced, adding $627.54 to a airline ticket's cost, and laying a tax of $54.33 per hour on the airline. Again, it would go to the government.

These taxes the government introduced or raised helped contribute to the revenues the Violentian government used to pay for the Great War (which cost the government a trillion dollars weekly).

Organizing the Military
During the war, the Violentian government, like the other governments, initated a draft. All men between the ages of 18 and 40 had to register for military service. They were rushed through examinations, recieved quick training, armed, and sent to the frontline. Eventually, the Violentian army had 305.6 million soldiers. Most of this number never returned. By the end of the war, only 15 million soldiers had survived. Women between those ages were exlcluded, but they were registered to work at factories, service and technology sectors, and mines, helping to provide the materials to win the war. Women also served as nurses, codebreakers, agents and spies, and strategists. Men between the ages of 40 and 60 were called up to serve in the fire-fighting, police, hospital, and home guard forces. Women in this age group were called up to serve in these professions as well.

Each soldier recieved a backpack, usually weighing a hundred pounds, about half their weight. They had a pistol, machine gun, rifle, fifteen grenades, thriteen flamethrowers, a radar pack, a wali-talkie, a water container, a map, a food container (with two pieces of bread, hard crackers, some chocolate and marshmellows, and raw carrots), working materials (to build trenches), a small tent, a flashlight, a toothbrush with some toothpaste, and a notebook with a pen (to write a journal with or keep important notes).

Redosia's Government: The Effective King
Unlike Violetnam or Greenland, whose monarchs' power were limited by law or convention, the kings of Redosia and Bluegaria reigned with aboslute power, effectively carrying out a large-scale war without constraint. Two monarchs reigned over Redosia during the war, William I of Redosia (r. 2010-2013), who did not accomplish much, and George I the Great of Redosia (r. 2013-2073), one of Redosia's greatest rulers, reigning during most of the war, as King, and some three decades after it, as Emperor.

King George I was a forceful man: he worked for effiency, done in his style, and barely tolerated anybody who stood in his way. He believed in a monarch ruling with aboslute power, greatful that his father had secured that in the Redosian Terms.

According to the Terms, the king had a Royal Council, much like the Privy Council during the reign of Elizabeth I of England, that advised him on administration and the persceution of the war. However, in 2014, George I issued a decree removing this Council, retaining only a few select councillors as executors, and from thereon he decreed he would make the decisions without advise.

During the war, all decrees, edicts, proclamations, charters and laws were issued by the king, with the help of his secetaries, who offically published them. The following sections will go into his domestic and foreign policies, similar to Violetnam's.

Expansion of State Control
In July 2013, months after coming to power, the king issued the Decree on Extending State Control over the Media. This Decree:


 * Placed all forms of communication and entertainment under the control of the government.


 * Established the Royal Communications Board to regulate and oversee all forms of media and to make sure they were in compliance with government media code.


 * Guidelined punishments for critizing the war or the government.


 * Implemented the first War Media Codes, regulating the content of media, the methods of broadcast, the layout of the general programming, and other concerns. These Codes also imposed a direct government control structure at the top of the media corporations.

After this decree, several newspapers, including The Sun and Daily Telegraph were seized by the government for opposing the war. The decree also forced BBC to convert it's programming to completely military and politcal. Numerous radio stations, minor television channels, and newspapers were also affected considerably.

George I also used other methods, in order to extend state control over society. He suspended the Redosian Human Rights Law, imposed monitoring of internet and telephone services, strengthened anti-privacy laws, and instated the death penalty for a third of all crimes. George I also committed numerous other actions.

Moblization of the Economy
During the war, George I established a Royal Commission for War Production and Organization to regulate the economy and fund the military with supplies and weapons. The Comission issued the War Production Code, regulating every sector of industry, service, and agriculture:


 * The number of factories are increased from 617,000 to over 4 million, most built in Siberia or Central Asia. The new factories come under the direct control of the Commission. Each new factory is led by a Commission-appointed Manager.


 * A new wages and union system is introduced: wages are set at $14 a hour for military industrial workers, and $0.66 a hour for civilian industrial workers. All unions are banned and strikes are prohibited.


 * Managers are granted the Power, in the name of the Crown, to punish and randomly fire workers for laziness, opposition to the government, and low output.


 * A new pricing system is introduced: rare goods such as silk, tea, gold and silver, and butter are rationed or set at $50.99 per piece of it. Most other foods are restricted to military and industrial use.

During the war, the average Redosian factory churned out 11,400 tanks, 8,000 fighters and bombers, 33,000 machine guns, and 900 cannons a week.

Paying for the War
During the war, the following taxes and duties were introduced or raised, as well other measures taken:

Industry Tax: All industries not related to the war effort were fined a billion dollars weekly to continue their operations. Not only did it profit the Crown, but the industries were forced to become involved with the war. The ones who refused to pay the taxes were foreclosed by the government.

Household Tax: A new tax on households was introduced. This tax was aimed at raising more direct revenue. Each member of a household had to contribute to the household tax, including all children over the age of twelve. Each child cost $100.00 a year, each teenager $500.00 a year, each parent $5,000 a year, and each grandparent $14,000 a year.

Land Tax: The Redosian government introduced a new tax on farmland and property. This tax also was aimed at raising more direct revenue. Farmers would pay $80,000 a year in order to keep their farms, while property owners would pay $4,000 a year. As a result, more farms applied for involvement with the government, which could spare them from paying taxes, effectively nationalizing them. This resulted in more indirect profits for the government.

City Tax: A tax on city governments was introduced. Again, the government intended to make more direct revenue. Each City Government would be required to pay $300 million dollars a year, or they would lose control over their localities. The government profited extremely from this tax, as city governments all across Redosia paid large amounts of money, in order to keep local autonomy.

Taxes that were raised include the sales, retail, and transportation taxes. The government also seized corporations and the king even cut back on Court. Rations were introduced as well.

The Redosian Military
During the war, the Redosian government, like all the other governments, intiated a draft. However, all men and women between the ages of 18 and 40 were required to register for military service. The government rushed them through examinations, quickly trained them, armed them, and sent them to the frontline. By the height of the war, the Redosian army consisted of 189.6 million soldiers. Less then 20 million survived. The government also required all men and women between the ages of 40 and 70 to participate in fire-fighting, hospital, home guard, and police duties. They also worked in the factories, mines, service and technology sectors, and agriculture, thus contributing to the war effort.

Each Redosian soldier recieved a backpack, which bore a rifle, two pistols, a mini-machine gun, three flamethrowers, ten grenades, a map, a food container (with three hard crackers and raw grapes), a water container, a small flashlight, a portable sleeping bag, a small journal with a pen, and a toothbrush with toothpaste.

Bluegaria
During the war, Bluegaria had three monarchs, all of them but one ruled with absolute power. The first king was James I of Blluegaria (formerly Kim-Jong-il, reigned 2009-2019). James I had established Bluegaria and instigated the war. The second king was his young son, James II of Bluegaria (reigned 2019-2025). James II was too young to rule, at the age of 10, and power was held by his mother, Queen-Dowager Natalie. James II died in 2025 at the age of 15, and Queen-Dowager Natalie became full Queen (reigned 2025-2048).

Bluegaria's government was much harsher then those of Redosia, Violetnam, and Greenland. During the war, the government nationalized all communications and media, and placed severe restrictions on the freedoms of the people. Bluegarian opponents of the war were arrested and murdered in large numbers without any type of trial. The government also created hundreds of new taxes and raised existing ones considerably, effectively banrkupting everyone in the country. The economy was completely mobilized, with all factories seized by the government. Each factory in Bluegaria produced 38,000 tanks, 58,000 bombers and fighters, 5,150 machine guns, and 1,300 cannons a month, a considerable amount.

At it's height, the army of the Kingdom of Bluegaria consisted of 780.9 million soldiers, dwarfing the 300 million soldiers Violetnam fielded and the 189 million soldiers fielded by Redosia. Despite this numerical advantage, the Bluegarians would eventually be defeated due to their arrogance, as well their overstreched forces, poor tactics, and poorly trained troops.

Each Bluegarian soldier carried only a machine gun, fifteen grenades, fifteen flamethrowers, a rifle, and three pistols. They did not carry any food, water, or portable tents. Nor did the Bluegarian forces carry journals. They were completely devoted to war, and slept on the ground.

Greenland
Like the king of Violetnam, during the war, the king of Greenland had certain limits to his power. However, the king was elected every four years, almost like the President of the United States had once been. There was three kings during the war: King Jacob I (reigned 2010-2016, relected 2014), King Nelsoni I (reigned 2016-2021, lost relection), and King Nelsoni II (reigned 2021-2026, elections cancelled). The king commanded the armed forces, supervised the government, and presided over a elected legislature, the Royal Council. He was bound by the Acts of Union which had established Greenland. However, very few political disputes occured in Greenland's government during Greenland's participation in the war.

Out of the four kingdoms (Bluegaria, Redosia, Violetnam, and Greenland), the Kingdom of Greenland was the poorest one. Greenland's economy was largely unprepared, and mainly relied on primitive agriculture. When the war began, King Jacob I made numerous efforts to improve and modernize the economy. However, the traditionalist Council rejected most of his plans. Thus the economy remained largely primtive. The king was, however, able to persuade the Council to triple existing taxes. However, most people in Greenland were extremely poor, and over half did not pay their taxes fully. As a result, both Greenland's economy and military would be affected.

At it's height, the army of the Kingdom of Greenland consisted of only 30.5 million soldiers, the smallest of all the kingdoms. The reason it was so small was because the government mandated voluntary enrollment, not conscription such as the other governments did. Most people in Greenland did not want to participate in war, and only the truely patriotic enrolled. Almost all of Greenland's troops would die by the time Bluegaria conquered Greenland in 2026.

Each Greenlandian soldier, except perhaps the highest-ranking officers, were poorly trained and poorly equipped. They might carry a rifle, a small pistol, and perhaps three grenades. Because Greenland was extremely poor, no food, water, or tent supplies were given to the soldiers. Usually the Greenlandian men would starve.

Stalemate in the Americas
During the last years of the 2010s, a stalemate had developed in the Americas. The Violentians had unsuccesfully attempted a assault against the Bluegarian defenses in Bueno Aries and Montevideo, resulting in the loss of up to two million soldiers. The Bluegarians had also suffered severe damage to their defenses. As such, the last years of the decade were spent rebuilding and fortifying the defenses, while the Violentians regrouped and prepared for another attack. The Redosians regrouped and consolidated their gains. Violetnam gracefully allowed the Redosians to keep their captured Bluegarian territories. This would be a fatal mistake.

The American Stalemate dragged on into the 2020's, the second decade of the war. Despite their commander's promises, the Violentians did not attack the Bluegarians, not wanting to suffer any casualities in battle. The Redosians did not attack either. However, other problems occured. Before retreating to the Montevideo-Buenos Aires Defenses, the Bluegarian forces had destroyed much of the Amazon rain forest and drained most of the waters of the Amazon. This had caused the deaths of billions of lifeforms and also inflicted severe eclogical damage on the planet. The Violentians and Redosians were shocked. They also discovered the Bluegarians had slaughtered or beaten more then 120 million innocent civilians during their retreat, including almost all of the populations of Columbia and Boilvia. This angered the Allies.

The stalemate in the Americas continued for the rest of the decade, with both sides replenishing, reorganizing, and preparing for the great offensive that was sure to come in the future. However, while the war was at a standstill in the Americas, events were occuring in Africa and in the government of Bluegaria that would help shape the furtures of Violetnam, Redosia, Bluegaria, and Greenland.

Extremination of Greenland
The invasion of Greenland continued into the early and mid 2020's. Bluegaria had invaded Greenland in 2016, with more then one hundred million troops, attempting to quickly subude the primitive and relatively weak kingdom. However, hundreds of millions of Greenlandian civilians caused severe problems for the Bluegarian invasion force. They destroyed land useful to the Bluegarians, ambushed and killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Bluegarian troops, ignited large-scale revolts and uprisings in Bluegarian-controlled territory, and provided vital intelligence to Greenlandian forces. As a result, the invasion dragged out for the rest of the decade, and by 2020, problems were even harder for Bluegarian troops.

As a result of the Greenlandian civilian problems and rebellions, king James I (and then, after his death in 2019, Regent Natalie I) authorized the deployment of 40 million troops every year into Greenland, and sometimes even more then that. Eventually, the Bluegarian invasion force exceeded 340 million troops by 2021. However, this was a mistake, as troops that could be used against Violetnam and Redosia were bogged down in severe unrest in Africa, as well the numerous diffculties of invasion.

In 2020, King Nelsoni I, the incompentent monarch who had issued foolish orders to the Greenlandian army in the intial invasion, lost the Monarchy elections. He was replaced by politician Nelson Mandela III, who was crowned King Nelsoni II in January 2021. The new monarch was determined to inflict as much damage on the Bluegarian invasion forces as possible. Due to Nelsoni II, Greenlandian resistance efforts, by both the remaining military and the civilian population, increased, and by 2023, Bluegaria was losing forty million troops a year.

Eventually, Regent Natalie I, who by 2025 had assumed full power as reigning Queen, got tired of the problems, and ordered the slaughtering of about a third of the Greenlandian population. She also authorized massive assaults against the remaining Greenlandian forces (which by now consisted of only 10 million troops, 15 million having died in the first stages of invasion). 260 million civilians were killed by Bluegarian forces as a result. Powerful Bluegarian air and land attacks, with nearly one hundred million forces, overwhelmed the small Greenlandian groups, and Bluegaria finally captured Cairo, the capital of Greenland, on 4 July 2026, ten years after the intial invasion. Nelsoni II, who had cancelled elections in 2024 in order to take more direct command of the war effort, was captured and executed. What was left of Greenland, which by now consisted of Niger and Mali, surrendered on 8 July.

As a result of the conquest of Greenland, after ten bloody years of battle, Natalie I proclaimed the existence of the Empire of Bluegaria on 20 July 2026, with herself as absolute Empress for life. This proclamation was used by the Bluegarian government as propgranda in order to increase the morale of the people. They did not, however, reveal that some 140 million Bluegarian forces had died during the costly invasion and conquest of Greenland. The government had wasted tens of trillions of dollars of tax money and revenue. The treasury had incured a defecit of $50 trillion dollars. As a result, the government was bankrupt, and the military severly weakened. These problems would eventually lead to the downfall of this "Empire of Bluegaria" within the next twenty-two years. While a victory for Bluegaria, the invasion and conquest of Greenland effectively turned the tide of the war in the favor of Violetnam and Redosia. In the 2030's, a series of offensives would begin that would eventually drive Bluegaria from her conquests in Africa, and more.
