The Confederate Republic of ChevyRocks is a large, democratic, developed nation in the SupercarsNet region. Though previously an isolationist nation, more recently they have developed a more global involvement with international events, particularly in the Beltway - Gilabad conflict, detailed further below.


International Relations

Break From Isolationism

In 2005, the Chevrokian Navy was in serious need of modern aircraft. With indigenous aerospace firms already backed up with production of land-based fighters and bombers, as well as retrofitting of older inventory, the only option left was to ask the international community. The initial contract was for an aircraft carrier based bomber aircraft, to be used from the nation's ten Duntovostok-class carriers.

The contract winner was from Isselmere-Nieland, Detmerian Aerospace, and their DAS-4M Swordfish heavy fighter-bomber. 150 of these were introduced into the Naval Air Wing, under the designation F/B-51A. Additionally, the entry from Martin Avionics of The Beltway, the F/A-22B Sea Raptor, was also well-liked, and 700 of them were purchased for the primary naval multi-role fighter.

The Beltway - Gilabad Conflict

After the ICLU massacre, in which pro-abortion supporters were executed by the Gilabad Secret Police (GSP), forces from The Beltway, Pythagoria, and Quaon were posted in Gilabad to help evacuate the liberals. When The Beltway detained 12 GSP personnel, Gilabad responded and attacked the Beltway forces at their temporary base.

A vicious battle ensued, between infantry, tanks, and aircraft from both sides. Though putting up a fierce resistance, the Beltway forces were overrun, though some were able to evacuate the base. In the meantime, a naval combat force from six countries, consisting of some 700 vessels, were either at the scene or would soon arrive.

The President of ChevyRocks, Ragnar Johanson, believed that the Gilabad government and their genocidal practices, should be removed from the world. The Chevrokian support initially for the conflict was two CCN carrier battle groups, an AWACS plane, and four tankers.

As the Chevrokian task force, made up of the Garrison and Minneapolis carrier battle groups, approached the Gilabad coast, a strike force made of 30 F/A-22s and 15 F/B-51s were sent to attack the Gilabad fleet. On the way there, however, a group of 50 enemy F-14s took flight and set course to destroy the Chevrokian AWACS and tankers already airborne. The fighters diverted to defend the support planes, and a missile fight broke out. 45 enemy F-14s were destroyed, at a cost of 8 F/A-22s and a KB-60 tanker.

Later that day, the government of Gilabad sent out a cease-fire to all nations invovled, and it was reluctantly agreed to. President Johanson flew to Georgetown in The Beltway, to participate in the Georgetown Peace Conference.

Technology

Spaceflight

Just after President Johanson had arrived in Georgetown, the first national spaceflight was achieved. A single XSR-10A Blackstar plane, launched from an XCB-70F mothership plane, accelerated away on ramjet/scramjet power, and then transitioned to rocket power and attained orbital status.
