The '''''Aeroporian State of Rokolev''''' is a Republic located on Southwest Europe*, also known as Helianland.

It's mostly concerned with the ''Helian Race'', and it's mighty Air Force, the '''''Aeroporia''''', that recives 41% of the National Budget.

The Helians are a very old and proud people, the kind of ones that do not like external influences because they consider foreign cultures as inferior and their peoples as ''Skraelings''. A few years ago the Helian population revolted themselves against the other peoples living in Rokolev, and over 1,250,000 were killed by armed civilians (who have a decent military training).
 +
Helians are very scientific and rational, not to belive in ''luck'' or ''destiny''. As a consequence 100% of the Helians live their lifes based on [[atheism]].

Rokolev, as said before, is a nation located in Southwest Europe*.
 +
When you compare Rokolev to the average European* nation, you'll notice that Rokolev is smaller, even if not much. The Helianland is a cold European nation, with many mountains and very few forests. Even on the Southern plains, that are hotter that the rest of the nation, Rokolev manages to be a almost an ice cube with temperatures only toping 26ºC on Summer. The lowest temperature ever recorded on Rokolev was -49ºC on the northern [[Dorve]] mountains, were Fjords lay.
 +
Rokolev borders friendly nations like [[Daracnia]] and [[Nuttylnd]], neutral such as , [[Greater DCU]] (Greater Democratic Communist Union), [[Vocur]] and [[Nouvelle-Arcadie]] and an unfriendly nation, [[Radilo]].

Qantrix is one of the older nations of the world. It was begun in antiquity by a city-state and two kings in Qanama, Trion and Ixionpolis. At the start, it immediately faced one big danger: a warlord from the east was threatening Qantrixian lands. In a joint effort which would unite Qantrix for many years to come, the warlord was eventually defeated.
+
Rokolev is composed of three states: New Korolyev, Thalos and Dorve.
  
−
Qantrix then entered ages of calm and isolation that caused Qantrix to expand freely. The Derings were monarchs of Qantrix and it remained stable through the Medieval period thanks to its isolation. Pressently, the renaissaince appeared in Qantrix, although in a different form then the rest of the world: it wasn't about exploration or warmachines but more about trade and other more economic matters.

'''Industrial Times'''
 
  
−
In the Industrial Age, however, everything went wrong for Qantrix. The factories needed workers and many immigrants came to Qantrix, but it was too much for the Agriculture of Qantrix and the price of food went up. The factory bosses couldn't pay for their own food as comfortably as they used to so they spend less on the salary of the workers and more on themselves. Soon the workers got in revolution and established a Socialist Republic in Qantrix.
+
'''New Korolyev''' is the main State of Rokolev. It is home to most industries and a large chunk of Helian population. The most important city in New Korolyev is Tagus, the former Capital, home to 12 million Helians. It has an extremely large amount of military bases, perhaps unique in Europe, giving it's small size.
  
−
The first few years of the Socialist Republic were good and everything was equally spread. But soon the people chose a ruler that established a despotism. Communist Party members got more food and unhappiness spread among the people. The ruler decided to invest more in police and oppressed the populace. Soon people were starving once again.
+
'''Thalos''' is the Commercial State of Rokolev. A great amount of Rokolevian companies are based here. It is small and extremely rich.
  
−
The Socialists managed to keep power for many years.  While the new class were having a good time, the normal worker was starving. All the workers were equal: they were all starving. In remote areas of Qantrix, conservatives, capitalists, liberals, greens and social democrats came together to plot against the socialists. Most of them were caught and killed but in the end there came a revolution. In the White Night, named after the colour of the clothes of the capitalists that killed the socialists, all the top-ranking members of the socialist establishment were assasinated by capitalists. Soon afterwards, the army surrendered to the victorious capitalist revolutionaries.
+
'''[[Dorve]]''' is the cultural centre of Rokolev, despite it is by far less populated if all three states. The capital, Heliopolis, is located here, in South Dorve but not in the mountains.
 +
It is said that the Aeoporia's main testing bases are located somehwere in the mountains, near the Helian Falcons.

== The History ==
  
−
The Derings returned to Qantrix, after a absence of many years, they established a republic, a capitalist republic. Qantrix flourished again and it was stable. It joined the Alliance of Greater Europe and for this first time in it's history it became less isolationist.

For many years this went on, but on one day hell broke loose. A series of terrorists attacks and corruption in the government caused the people to riot, which eventually led to a civil war. The civil war lasted so long that people forget what they were fighting for, a Anarchy was established. In the end the Anarchy was ended by Darius of Merovingia, he united the nation (which was divided in many Protective Associations) and established the Absolute Monarchy of Qantrix.
+
'''Classical Times'''
  
−
The Absolute Monarchy flourished, again capitalism had came to Qantrix, while Qantrix had suffered from the Anarchy the corporations didn't, they had made much profit in the Anarchy, had become very powerfull and had given much services to the people when they needed it, the people hadn't forget that, Capitalism ruled Qantrix together with the Merovingiangs.
+
The Helians are originally from Northern Europe*, where today Hugoland and the hostile tundra south of this nation is, they named that area Korolyev. The Helians were not united back then, and as so local powers had a considerable power over them. However, they felt that they could not live like that, dominated by foreigners, and so they decided to depart towards South in 440 b.C. They made many stops on their way South..they passed through the European Central Bay, the Western Great Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar, to the Implarian Sea..they finally landed on today's border between GDCU and Vocur, but these lands were too hot for these Norsemen, and so they moved East, until they reached a frozen plain with a long river, they named the area New Korolyev.
 +
They settled there in 434 b.C and created a large city, named Rokoleva, that later named the nation.
 +
The Helian leader at the time, Hélio Rodrigues, ensured that the Helians could survive the first years in New Korolyev..fortunetly they were good hunters and manage to survive the cold winters. After their survival was certain, they focused on expanding their influence. To achieve this, the Rokolevians created new cities, met new people and traded with them. However, they had still in mind what they suffered in Korolyev, and they sistematically refused to adopt these people's culture. In time they grew richer and manage to keep thier land free of any foreign threat.
 +
Today Hélio Rodrigues is considered a Rokolevian national Hero, many Rokolevians and the ''Helian Race'' were named after him.
 +
After his death, the Rokolevians managed to hold the whole New Korolyev area, develop their culture further and discovered new technologies. The Government was different from all others, it had a leader for life, named ''Exinius''. This men would only cease it's funtions when he died, or decided to quit. His successor would be chosen by the local leaders.
  
−
Qantrix became a superpower under the son of Darius, Leonard. He made the army of Qantrix powerfull once again, at the end of his reign he decided to once again break through the isolattion that Qantrix had for many years, he began the Monarchist Pact, he let Qantrix join  the Right Wing Bloc.
+
'''Dark and Middle Age'''
  
−
But once again Qantrix was hit by chaos, Leonard of Merovingia died, his son wanted to make Qantrix more democratic, which caused a civil war between the generals that were conservatives and wanted to keep things like they were under Leonard and the supporters of the King (Darius II of Merovingia) in the end the supporters of the King won, however the outcome was suprising Darius II reformed the government and decided to end the Monarchy.
+
The Dark ages were not dark to the inhabitants of New Korolyev..infact they were quite birght. They met a new rich culture, that even the Helians had trouble in not being influenced by them. These people came from the Northeast and were named ''Gregus''.
 +
They were keen on commerce and the study of philosophy, they also had very effective military tactics. The Rokolevians immediatly knew that they hdd to adopt some of these people's ideas, but to directly..they had to be done the Helian-way. Among these were the use of a coin, military formations, new types of body armor, just to name a few. However, despite these two people's good relation, some differences begun to create hostilities..namely Religion. The Gregus had a great deal of faith, whereas Rokolevians didn't had any kind of religion. The Northerns tried to convert Helians, but they were not welcomed and killings happened.
 +
The Gregus viewed this as an act of war, and sent their armies to knock out the peoples of Rokolev, but fortunetly the Helians did not share their military secrets with their former friends, and were able to defeat them in almost every battle. When the Gregus' armies were torn apart, the Helians faced a new question, ''Shall we finish them?''..the answer was ''yes''. The victorious Rokolevian Armies marched into the Gregus land, and sieged their cities...since they had barely no soldiers, defeat was at hand. The Helians were not kind to their enemies, a great deal of them were killed, and others served and sold as slaves, and castrated so they were unable to have an offspring..just to make sure that no more ''Gregus'' would exist in the next generation...pretty effective, as in 666 a.C the last Gregu died. To this new land, formerly owned by Gregus, the Helians gave the name of Thalos.
 +
In 752 they begun a new challenge..expanding their influecne further North. However, no one lived in the North...it was the cold and mighty Dorve Mountains. No one was able to inhabit in these lands, but the Helians, that were used to live in the cold, decided to give it a try. The first city was named ''Uppsala''..it only survived because it had a large amount of wild animals living nearby, and a complex road net made contact with neighbour cities easy.
 +
Colonization of Dorve took nearly a thousand of years..however they found a really bizzare thing in Dorve..when they lived in Korolyev, the first Rokolevians admired a falcon, named ''Nercyt'', later known as Helian Falcon, that only lived there..when they got to Dorve, Helian Falcons begun locking there, and made their new home in those mountains..this gave home to uncommon legends whitin the Helians..legends say that the Helians would be able to fly with the ''Necryts'' and rule the skies.

 +
Only in 1740 was this job done. Dorve had lots of cities and small towns, connected by a large amount of roads. Despite all this work done to make Dorve as populated as the rest of the nation, it was not successful. Not that it had to do with the cold, but because an Industrial Revolution was starting in New Korolyev, and the in this area it was easier to establish factories, to get raw materials and hire factory-workers.
 +
New Korolyev and Thalos became very industrialized and populated, whereas Dorve suffered a large exodus by 1800, a great deal of the large cities got deserted, and only small towns and a couple of cites remained populated as before.
 +
Meanwhile in the South a new political movement was making its appearence..in 1859 Marxism hit Rokolev, and factory-workers begun demanding for better living standards. They demanded a large increase in their wages, or they'd revolt. The Rokolevian Government knew it had to do something...after all, these workers were also Helians, and they needed respect. A few years later, Rokolev turned into a Social-Democracy, focused on giving their people a good Healthcare system, Education and good wages.
 +
In the late XIX century, Rokolev was about to change forever. Although it had a very large and effectie train system, a new machine would make Rokolev a completely new country, the Aeroplane. When Rokolevians first heard about this, they remembered the ''Necryt Legend'', and realized that it was possible to actually fly like Helian Falcons and rule the skies. This led to an enourmous research into flight technology.

Qantrix is one of the oldest nations on the world, it has grown out of three small city states (Qanama, Trion and Ixionpolis) into one of the largest nations in Europe, a military superpower and one of the biggest economic powers of Europe. Qantrix is a nation that has experienced various systems, it started off as 3 small states that were dependent on trade, for that reason there was much freedom, economic freedoms. For trade drugs were also legalized and because there was no army but there was a need for self-defense guns were also legalised in a later stage, although that wasn’t for long. Qantrix has not only experienced freedom, a coup by mainly foreign workers established a communist government. Qantrix went into starvation, but the communist government was overthrown, a dictatorship came and later on democracy. Qantrix was liberal at that moment, however had a big army. Qantrix then went into Anarchy, but the Merovingia family together with the bussinesses managed to get Qantrix out of Anarchy. Qantrix became a Absolute Monarchy, it still had a strong army but it did had many economic freedoms.

After a small civil war a new government was set up, the Capitalist Confederacy of Qantrix. A mix between a Meritocracy and a Democracy. It was a interim-government that would bring stability back to Qantrix. Now the stability has returned the current government has decided to reform Qantrix for the future. In the base it will stay the same, a mix between democracy and a meritocracy. However it will be worked out in a different way. The Senate will be much smaller, with only 21 people. 7 representatives chosen by the people, one for every state. 7 people coming from the 7 largest Universities. 6 Ministers that have been chosen by the President to be in charge of one thing and one final seat, the seat of the President. This Senate and Cabinet will only decide over state-wide problems. The States (Aedolius, Amsterdam, Ixionpolis, Qanama, Trion, Duneria and Dariota) are free to decide on the most thing.

Hopefully this will force the government to be closer to the people, a smaller government that grants freedom to the people, a government that is near the people which can see problems in the state and react upon it. Large Governments are known to be sitting high above the people only caring about themselves. This Government will ensure that it’s near the people. It will be democraticly elected every 10 years. This is a large period compared to other nations, this is so that the governments don’t try to have a popular administration but a administration that does the things as good as possible, that chooses not for short-term solutions that get it re-elected but for long-term solutions.Knowledge also is in the government, Universities will have much power in what’s happening in the nation.
+
In the 20th century, Rokolev suffered from the same plague many other European nations suffered...fascism. Fascists came to power in 1928 and begun a large purge to kill Communists and ''Skraelings''. Despite this killings, Fascism was not bad for the Helians. Their culture remained alive, their aerospacial industry prospered, they were the first to create a single engined jet fighter, and later the first stealth air superiority fighter known..but their living standard dropped, fear conquered the average Helian, and António Sazalar forced Helians worship him like a God.
 +
This regime, however, had many enemies. One of the was a young man, named Hélio Rodrigues (he had the same name as the founder of Rokolev) who joined the Fascist Party in order to sabotage it from the inside. He also joined the military and started recruiting soldiers in the fight against Fascism. On May 1, 1987 Rokolev suffered a Revoution that knocked out the Fascist Regime...Sazalar was considered a fake-Helian and murdered in a very funny way..he was tied to a GPS-guided bomb and dropped over his palace.
 +
Hélio Rodrigues was infact a Communist and created the CHUR - Communist Helian Union of Rokolev. During this time, Rokolev prospered..the people's living stardard rised brutally, the military grew stonger and Helian might and advanced technology in fighting aircraft was now clear.

== Rokolev Today ==

This nation is one of the larger nations with a population of 323 million (in nationstates above the 3 billion, however in our region there's a 10 percent rule to keep things a lil' reasonable.) It’s main ministry Defense, while departments such as Religion and Spirituality aren’t recieving any funds by comparison. The Private Sector (which is to quote the United Nations “a powerhouse[…]”) has as a biggest industry Uranium Minining, however Arms Manufacturing and IT are also big. The Public Sector is non-existant according to a recent United Nations Survey.

Crime is totally unknown in Qantrix, mainly thanks to a large police force, it can probably also be thanked to the good economy, unemployment thanks to this great economy is near to non-existant, although those that are poor are very poor, however there are various charity organisation that care for these people. Social Security is privatised, most people have it pretty good thanks to this, since it’s privatised the social security has become much better, however if your not in one your pretty much screwed although there are charities that are much richer thanks to the non-existant tax.
+
Rokolev is again a Social-Democrat nation like it used to be before the Fascist Era. The living standards have never been so high, thanks to a free Healthcare and Education system. However, Rokolev has a free market policy..at least when it come to Helians..foreign companies are free to sell and manufacture their products in Rokolev, as long as no ''Skraeling'' enters the nation, this means that only Helians will operate and manage the factories, even if they belong to someone else. This has been accepted by a large majority of foreigners, since most of these give a rather large profit.
  
−
The currency of Qantrix is the Sovereign, Qantrix is involved in the First Sovereign Bank, a International Bank with members in various regions. The National Animal of Qantrix is the Phoenix, which was chosen in a recent poll because of it’s big role in various Qantrixian legends and because Qantrix has risen out of it’s ashes various times, just like a Phoenix.
+
The Government, however, is extremely large, but it has been able do deal with bureaucracy effectively, specially taking it's size into account.
 +
Taxes are 100% in theory in Rokolev (only personal taxes, not corporate taxes..these are considerably lower), but the Government makes sure everyone recives approximately what each company has planned. Poorer citizens usually recive considerably more than planned, while richer recive a bit less. This policy made Rokolev have extremly low levels of poverty, but still having a rather large wealthy sector..social inequality is large not because there are a large amount of poor, but because the rich are extremely wealthy.

==The different states of Qantrix==
+
The Aeroporian State is still ruled by the ''Exinius'' Hélio Rodrigues, the same that made the revolution. He holds total power over the nation, but since no man can do everything alone most of this work is done by the ''Parlamento''..the Exinius can veto/pass any law he wants to however, without Parliamentary vote.
  
−
Let’s take a look at the different states of our nation.Qantrix is made up of 7 States, all with their own personality and a different internal policy.
+
Rokolevian Educational system is not very conventional. It focus a lot of Helian History in order to make the kids a traditional Helian..rationalist, atheist and intelectual. One of the odd things teenagers must study is ''Introduction to Flight'' so all of them can understand aircraft technology and have a quicker learning time in '''Aeroporia''' Academies.

Rokolev has a unique political system in Europe. It's leader rules for life, but he is elected by the people. He can veto or pass any law he wishes without asking anyone's permission..this is not very common though. He is responsible for creating the Government.

This state has the biggest harbors of Qantrix. Here’s where the great Qantrixian navy is based and where the sea to land transport happens. It was once known as the Industry-city of Qantrix but currently it’s becoming more commercial, the once by factories dominated sky is now being dominated by glass skyscrapers.
+
There are elections, however. These elections are aimed at creating the Parliament (1000 seats), that passes most of Rokolevian laws.

There are three ''main'' Parties in Rokolev: The Communist Aeroporian Party, the Centrist Aeroporian Party and the Helian Race Party

Here’s where the War Industry of Qantrix is. Both the Ministry of Defense and the Arms Manufacturers are housed here and according to the left wing of Qantrix that isn’t a co-incidence. Since George Drating launched his Phaeton from here, a corporation that managed to become the biggest IT corporation of Qantrix this city has also become the capital of the Information Technology.
+
The CeAP is not so centrist as it may seem. In fact it is Social-Democrat, but some of it's members are more right-winged, hence the name Centrist.
 +
It currently holds the majority of the seats in the ''Parlamento''.
 +
The name ''Aeropoian'' comes from it's aim at developing the Aeroporia.

Widely known as the Spiritual Capital of Qantrix, this is where the most churches are. Both large corporations are here and the large Chrystal Cathedral, the biggest one of Qantrix. The Religious Channel broadcasts messages from God 24 hours from here. This city is a coming together of various christian religions, Protestants, Twentish-Catholics, Mormons, every religion is represented here. Ixionpolis has a huge country which is strictly religious. This is the only state where there’s no seperation between Church and the Government.

Definitly the most radical Party in Rokolev. The HRP wants the Helian Race to prevail over all other European races..they are responsible for the killing of 1.250.000 ''Skraelings'' a few years ago. Still, the Helians like them very much, hence the 28% in the past elections.

This is the capital city of Qantrix, this city was establised as a corporate stronghold when Qantrix was in anarchy, it quickly grew to become the largest city, it became a capital when the Qantrixian Absolute Monarchy was established and it has kept that position till this day. This city is known for it’s modern architecture, the new Qantrixian school begun here and every street is build in that way. This Architecture stream which mainly uses the color white causes Aedolius to be visible as one large white dot from the space.

This city is one of the more recentently joined territories of Qantrix, however it has a huge history. This is a freedom-loving province which has managed to keep that by joining Qantrix. Located near the border of Baharr this state has one of the largest number of military troops located in it’s state borders. It joined as a somewhat anarchic state, order has been established since it joined Qantrix however it kept it freedom by electing the Libertarians. Prostitution and the drugs industry is huge here, crime also was huge but the freedom to bear arms and a good economic policy has managed to decrease that.

Despite it's traditional isolationist policies, Helians have realized that they could not do everything by themselves, they needed other nations to help them..this forced them to forget tradition, or they'd be underdeveloped in some areas. Still, they refuse to share a great deal of it's unique Aeroporia technologies.

As the most northern state of Qantrix this province is mainly dependent on the wood industry, however since various corporations decided to create wild parcs (where you need to pay for entering but does have a lot of endangered species) this will keep it’s beautifull nature (which was once threatened.) The people here aren’t too smart and are easily influenced, with a brilliant campaign Bjorn Raikonnen of the Freedom Party managed to get 62% of the voters behind him.
+
Rokolev has taken part in some of the recent conflicts, like the Monkecian Invasion, helping the Monkecians successfully by defeating enemy air defenses and downing the defending Hugolandian and Brittish fighters without casualities..the Spanish Civil War by doing very successful SEAD and CAP missions, also without casualities..and recently in Vocur, though they haven't seen combat yet.

Despite this, the Helians are not very beligerant, but they like being prepared for any conflict that might happen, hence the constant development of new weaponry.

As the coastal province of Qantrix there is much happening around here, every summer this is where the most tourism is, where the most parties are held and throughout every year there are lots of celebrities and other rich people here. While it isn’t economicly that strong there are loads of rich people here, which all vote for the Freedom Party. This is also a important state for the Ministry of Defense as the Qantrixian Navy has much boats stationed here and a military defense line (existing out of 5 large camps and a line of Patriots) is here.
+
'''Helian Army'''
 +
{{image|http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Rokolev/Rokolev/NegaMBT.jpg|left|''Nega MBT''|''Nega MBT''}}
 +
The Helian Army is responsible of attacks on ground targets or positions, bombing missions and civilian training. It is also responsible for the large amount of underground tunnels.
 +
It is a small force, it only has 500,000 soldiers (total). It relies more on MBTs and attack helicopters.
 +
The Rokolevian MBT is the ''Nega'', using Dorchester Depleted Uranium Modular Armor and a 140mm gun. It's engine is located at the front of the tank, not behind..this makes the tank resistent to back hits and protects the crew from KE munitions shot at its front.

==The Parties of Qantrix==
 
−
Qantrix is a democracy and has a multiple party system. Currently, Qantrix has several parties, with around the 40 of them are registered. The following are the parties with sitting MPs.
 
  
−
'''United Libertarians''' (3 seats)
+
'''Helian Aeroporia'''
−
This party is the biggest in Qantrix and President Henderson is from the United Libertarians. The United Libertarians are both for Economic as Personal Freedoms, .
+
{{image|http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Rokolev/Fighters/NecrtyIIjpg.jpg|right|RkvF-87H ''Necryt II''|''Necryt II'' Fighter}}
 +
The Aeroporia..the wealthiest and most advanced Air Force in Europe*, it recives nearly 43% of the national budget. The Aeroporia is almost totally focused on downing enemy fighting aircraft, rather than anything else. It's fighters are the stealthiest in the whole region, not only against radars, but also against IR and other kind of detection systems.
 +
It constantly develops new aircraft and missile technologies.
 +
The Aeroporia also has many foreign fighters in very small quantities (2 or 3 per fighter) but these are not used in combat missions. The Engineers study them and teach everything they know to the pilots, so they can know what they'll fly against.  
  
 +
The most advanced of these fighters is the RkvF-87A ''Necryt''. It's 2 radars, especially the frontal one, are extremely powerful and stealthy enough to fire at 6 enemy targets without being detected. It was built to eliminate all other kind of enemy stealth figthers, like F-22s and similar ones...and it has done it without a single casuality, even when heavily outnumbered.
 +
It's stealth capacities are unmatchable, it's firing capacities outstanting, and even not being the most agile fighter ever, it's a deadly dogfighter, thanks to the Helmet Mounted HUD and extremely agile missiles.
  
−
'''The Freedom Party''' (2 seats)
+
An extremely agile version of it (baptized as Necryt II) has been developed, but only ''Theta Squadron'' flies it.
−
 
+
−
Was launched to protect the rich people of Qantrix and is mostly intrested in keeping the economy good. They have mainly been supporting the Libertarians; however, if they get the chance they will probably turn Qantrix in a Corporate Police State.
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
'''Christian Falangist Party Qantrix''' (1 Seat)
+
−
 
+
−
Probably the most extreme party around, this party has been advocating a extreme-conservative policy. In their short history in the Parliament they have been sending in several acts, ranging from holding a crusade to clear Europe from the filthy Arabs to forcing family values upon the people of Qantrix. Most of their acts have failed.
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
'''Qantrix First Party''' (1 Seat)
+
−
 
+
−
This is another right-wing conservative party, this one is just like the CFPQ -- very patriotic -- however, this one is more moderate. Currently it is in a battle for the countryside votes with the CFPQ.
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
Other registered parties include parties from all parts of the political spectrum. From the collectivist side there are the Nazi, the Communists, and the Greens; from the individualist side there are Classical-Liberals, Libertarians, Anarcho-Capitalists and such. The Qantrixian people have a tendency towards individualism and people who voted for the collectivist parties are generally frowned upon, since Qantrix was once communist and gravely suffered under that.
+
−
 
+
−
==The Armed Forces of Qantrix==
+
−
To become a Qantrixian Soldier is the dream of many small boys in Qantrix, however the army in non-battle times only takes in the best men of Qantrix, most athletes of Qantrix are in the army and the soldiers have a very good condition, you’ll need to have that if you want to succeed in the various trainings that happen in both the hot dunes of Duneria, the large cold forests of Dariota and the desert in Trion.
+
−
 
+
−
The Qantrixian Army is one of the biggest armies in the world, with an huge budget it's reknown to be very strong. The Qantrixian Army has done operations in Baharr, Prax, Europaland, Wazistan and Monkecia.
+
−
 
+
−
It exists out of 5 branches
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
'''Land-Force Department'''
+
−
 
+
−
The Land Force is mainly in charge of all land-operations, it works together with the Air force in Para-drops (by supplying men that are trained in parachute jumping by the Air-force) and with the Sea-Force (beach-landing operations are always jointly done by the sea and land force.)
+
−
 
+
−
The Land force is also responsible for defense against air attacks and it owns the training bases.
+

+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
'''Air-Force Department'''
+
−
 
+
−
The Air-Force Department is pretty large and is the most high-tech department, constantly searching for new technologies. The Air-Force has proven to be very important in operations in Prax, Europaland and Monkecia. Europaland has been completely destroyed twice by the Qantrixian Jets.
+
−
 
+
−
The Airforce also owns Military Airports, it supports the aircraft carriers and it has a large number of Cruise Missiles and is rumoured to also have the WMD’s of Qantrix.

+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
'''Sea-Force Department'''
+
−
 
+
−
Constantly spread around the world, communication is very important for the Sea-force of Qantrix. A large number of ships of the Qantrixian Navy is all around the world, fighting piracy, illegal weapon transports and securing peace. In the war against Monkecia, the sea-force was very important.
+
−
 
+
−
The Sea-force also patrols the Long Sea 24 hours a day, protecting it from unwanted guests and piracy.

+
−
'''Special Forces Department'''
+
−
 
+
−
Special Forces is above all other departments, it works in the sky, sea and land and is like an small highly experienced army. The Special Forces are always active, doing anti-terrorist operations everywhere.  It fought the International Socialists and is currently being send to Gunnlandia to support it in its fight against terrorists in Wazistan.

==International Relations==
+
−
Most of the Qantrixian International Relations limit themselves to Europe, Qantrix is in the Free Market States, it has ambassadorial exchanges with various nation and has been member of the League of Nations, the Stuttgart Treaty, the Right Wing Bloc. However it seems like Qantrix will be faring a more isolationist course. Qantrix is known as one of the bigger military powers within Europe, with a military budget that is bigger then the total governmental budgets of some nations this isn't really suprising. Qantrix has been performing military in a number of nations, these nations include Wazistan, Russia-Borisgad, Daracnia, Prax and Baharr.

Qantrix also has hostile relations with a number of nations, these are usually communist states like Europeland, Greater DCU and Monkecia, recently Qantrix was in a war with these 3 nations, in this war Europeland suffered heavy casualties, Qantrix had a enormous bombing campaign which included missiles and bombers operating from bases inside Qantrix and from aircraft and missile carriers in the sea's, Qantrix decided at the end not to invade Europaland and is currently in a cease-fire. But now Qantrix finds itself in a war with the communists, in the south war is going on in Greater DCU, Daracnia and Vocur. Qantrix is one of the main players in this war, with troops deployed in Vocur and huge bomber campaigns in Greater DCU (which have destroyed their capital Verde City.)
+
Each Necryt II costs 615,000,000 euro.
  
−
Outside Europe, Qantrix has a large history, Qantrix has a history in the ACC (Atlantic Central Command, also known as the Atlantic Alliance) a legendary invasion organisation. Qantrix also has been for a long time in the Meritocracy, which it's very proud of. Qantrix is in a central world bank called the First Sovereign Bank, because of this Qantrix has it's current currency, the Sovereign although Qantrix still has other currencies like the Qantrixian Dollar, in supermarkets and hotels currencies from other FMS nations are also accepted.
 
  
−
==Economy==
+
'''KGB'''
−
Qantrix is a capitalist nation. Most things, except for the army and the justice system are handled by the Free Market. The Government of Qantrix is limited to where it was founded for, to keep security and to protect the people. This is working out pretty fine and has ensured a great economy (rated as Frightening) to exist. Qantrix is, because of it's size a diverse economy. Near it's border with Moldor, the main industry is mining. One of the biggest industries is the Agriculture, which is necessary to support the large population. Recently, regulations on the genetic modification of food have been totally abolished. In the cities other industries are big, the so-called smart industries are big. The old industries are also still available, but rely on foreign workers for a big part.
+
  
−
There's a lot of Trade going on between Qantrix and other members of the Free Market States, competition has become bigger between the industries of all nations, this has caused a better quality of all products. After a lof of companies went broke or fused in the beginning when the FMS begun trading massivley a healthy competition has been created. There's also a lot of trade with Baharr, Daracnia and other Capitalist Nations in Europe. While Qantrix has free trade with a big number of nations, the various communist nations of Europe are under a continous Embargoe since a war broke out between Qantrix and two communist nations.
+
The KGB are the Rokolevian Special Services and Special Operations.
 +
Spying, sabotaging, assassinations and terrorist missions are among it's operations. Some of these missions are against Monarchies..4 European monarchs have lost their life at the hands of the KGB.

==Media==
 +
Rokolev has many TV stations and Magazines. The most well-known internationally are the State-owned television, RTR, and Hell's Defense Magazine.
  
−
Qantrix has a stock market in it's capital, which is one of the biggest of the world. Nearly every company in Qantrix is noted on the Aedolius Stock Exchange and every day huge numbers of Sovereigns are being traded here around. Regulations on the stock-exchange are loose.
+
'''Hell's Defense''' is a private Corporation that studies military equipment from nations all around Europe, military conflicts, military rumors etc..
 +
It's magazine is divided into two, one for the public, and another version for military susbcribers only. It shows detailed data about all kind of military equipment..it gained it's reputation by not being partial, despite being nearly 100% controled by Helians (but not the Government).
  
−
The United Nations has been ranking Qantrix in the European Top 10 for various things, among them the biggest Soda Pop Sector and biggest Trout Fishing Sector. This isn't very suprising considering Qantrix's great economy (ranked frightening) and it's big population (with recently passed the 3,5 billion mark) however still is seen as a great achievement by the people of Qantrix. Qantrix has been profiting much from regulation in various nations, many corporations have decided to go to Qantrix to escape regulation (and possible nationalisation) in socialist nations. Qantrix continues to be a capitalist nation, with a high standard of living.

The Aeroporian State of Rokolev is a Republic located on Southwest Europe*, also known as Helianland. It's mostly concerned with the Helian Race, and it's mighty Air Force, the Aeroporia, that recives 41% of the National Budget. The Helians are a very old and proud people, the kind of ones that do not like external influences because they consider foreign cultures as inferior and their peoples as Skraelings. A few years ago the Helian population revolted themselves against the other peoples living in Rokolev, and over 1,250,000 were killed by armed civilians (who have a decent military training). Helians are very scientific and rational, not to belive in luck or destiny. As a consequence 100% of the Helians live their lifes based on atheism.

Geography

Rokolev, as said before, is a nation located in Southwest Europe*. When you compare Rokolev to the average European* nation, you'll notice that Rokolev is smaller, even if not much. The Helianland is a cold European nation, with many mountains and very few forests. Even on the Southern plains, that are hotter that the rest of the nation, Rokolev manages to be a almost an ice cube with temperatures only toping 26ºC on Summer. The lowest temperature ever recorded on Rokolev was -49ºC on the northern Dorve mountains, were Fjords lay. Rokolev borders friendly nations like Daracnia and Nuttylnd, neutral such as , Greater DCU (Greater Democratic Communist Union), Vocur and Nouvelle-Arcadie and an unfriendly nation, Radilo.

Rokolevian States

Rokolev is composed of three states: New Korolyev, Thalos and Dorve.

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">new_korolyev.jpg
New Korolyev's Flag
</div>


New Korolyev is the main State of Rokolev. It is home to most industries and a large chunk of Helian population. The most important city in New Korolyev is Tagus, the former Capital, home to 12 million Helians. It has an extremely large amount of military bases, perhaps unique in Europe, giving it's small size.

Thalos is the Commercial State of Rokolev. A great amount of Rokolevian companies are based here. It is small and extremely rich.

Dorve is the cultural centre of Rokolev, despite it is by far less populated if all three states. The capital, Heliopolis, is located here, in South Dorve but not in the mountains. It is said that the Aeoporia's main testing bases are located somehwere in the mountains, near the Helian Falcons.

The History

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">2003_0112.JPG
Dark Age Helians
</div>

Classical Times

The Helians are originally from Northern Europe*, where today Hugoland and the hostile tundra south of this nation is, they named that area Korolyev. The Helians were not united back then, and as so local powers had a considerable power over them. However, they felt that they could not live like that, dominated by foreigners, and so they decided to depart towards South in 440 b.C. They made many stops on their way South..they passed through the European Central Bay, the Western Great Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar, to the Implarian Sea..they finally landed on today's border between GDCU and Vocur, but these lands were too hot for these Norsemen, and so they moved East, until they reached a frozen plain with a long river, they named the area New Korolyev. They settled there in 434 b.C and created a large city, named Rokoleva, that later named the nation. The Helian leader at the time, Hélio Rodrigues, ensured that the Helians could survive the first years in New Korolyev..fortunetly they were good hunters and manage to survive the cold winters. After their survival was certain, they focused on expanding their influence. To achieve this, the Rokolevians created new cities, met new people and traded with them. However, they had still in mind what they suffered in Korolyev, and they sistematically refused to adopt these people's culture. In time they grew richer and manage to keep thier land free of any foreign threat. Today Hélio Rodrigues is considered a Rokolevian national Hero, many Rokolevians and the Helian Race were named after him. After his death, the Rokolevians managed to hold the whole New Korolyev area, develop their culture further and discovered new technologies. The Government was different from all others, it had a leader for life, named Exinius. This men would only cease it's funtions when he died, or decided to quit. His successor would be chosen by the local leaders.

Dark and Middle Age

The Dark ages were not dark to the inhabitants of New Korolyev..infact they were quite birght. They met a new rich culture, that even the Helians had trouble in not being influenced by them. These people came from the Northeast and were named Gregus. They were keen on commerce and the study of philosophy, they also had very effective military tactics. The Rokolevians immediatly knew that they hdd to adopt some of these people's ideas, but to directly..they had to be done the Helian-way. Among these were the use of a coin, military formations, new types of body armor, just to name a few. However, despite these two people's good relation, some differences begun to create hostilities..namely Religion. The Gregus had a great deal of faith, whereas Rokolevians didn't had any kind of religion. The Northerns tried to convert Helians, but they were not welcomed and killings happened. The Gregus viewed this as an act of war, and sent their armies to knock out the peoples of Rokolev, but fortunetly the Helians did not share their military secrets with their former friends, and were able to defeat them in almost every battle. When the Gregus' armies were torn apart, the Helians faced a new question, Shall we finish them?..the answer was yes. The victorious Rokolevian Armies marched into the Gregus land, and sieged their cities...since they had barely no soldiers, defeat was at hand. The Helians were not kind to their enemies, a great deal of them were killed, and others served and sold as slaves, and castrated so they were unable to have an offspring..just to make sure that no more Gregus would exist in the next generation...pretty effective, as in 666 a.C the last Gregu died. To this new land, formerly owned by Gregus, the Helians gave the name of Thalos. In 752 they begun a new challenge..expanding their influecne further North. However, no one lived in the North...it was the cold and mighty Dorve Mountains. No one was able to inhabit in these lands, but the Helians, that were used to live in the cold, decided to give it a try. The first city was named Uppsala..it only survived because it had a large amount of wild animals living nearby, and a complex road net made contact with neighbour cities easy. Colonization of Dorve took nearly a thousand of years..however they found a really bizzare thing in Dorve..when they lived in Korolyev, the first Rokolevians admired a falcon, named Nercyt, later known as Helian Falcon, that only lived there..when they got to Dorve, Helian Falcons begun locking there, and made their new home in those mountains..this gave home to uncommon legends whitin the Helians..legends say that the Helians would be able to fly with the Necryts and rule the skies.

Industrial Times

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">marx.jpg
Karl Marx had a strong influence on Rokolev
</div>

Only in 1740 was this job done. Dorve had lots of cities and small towns, connected by a large amount of roads. Despite all this work done to make Dorve as populated as the rest of the nation, it was not successful. Not that it had to do with the cold, but because an Industrial Revolution was starting in New Korolyev, and the in this area it was easier to establish factories, to get raw materials and hire factory-workers. New Korolyev and Thalos became very industrialized and populated, whereas Dorve suffered a large exodus by 1800, a great deal of the large cities got deserted, and only small towns and a couple of cites remained populated as before. Meanwhile in the South a new political movement was making its appearence..in 1859 Marxism hit Rokolev, and factory-workers begun demanding for better living standards. They demanded a large increase in their wages, or they'd revolt. The Rokolevian Government knew it had to do something...after all, these workers were also Helians, and they needed respect. A few years later, Rokolev turned into a Social-Democracy, focused on giving their people a good Healthcare system, Education and good wages. In the late XIX century, Rokolev was about to change forever. Although it had a very large and effectie train system, a new machine would make Rokolev a completely new country, the Aeroplane. When Rokolevians first heard about this, they remembered the Necryt Legend, and realized that it was possible to actually fly like Helian Falcons and rule the skies. This led to an enourmous research into flight technology.


Modern Times

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">sal.jpg
António Sazalar
</div>

In the 20th century, Rokolev suffered from the same plague many other European nations suffered...fascism. Fascists came to power in 1928 and begun a large purge to kill Communists and Skraelings. Despite this killings, Fascism was not bad for the Helians. Their culture remained alive, their aerospacial industry prospered, they were the first to create a single engined jet fighter, and later the first stealth air superiority fighter known..but their living standard dropped, fear conquered the average Helian, and António Sazalar forced Helians worship him like a God. This regime, however, had many enemies. One of the was a young man, named Hélio Rodrigues (he had the same name as the founder of Rokolev) who joined the Fascist Party in order to sabotage it from the inside. He also joined the military and started recruiting soldiers in the fight against Fascism. On May 1, 1987 Rokolev suffered a Revoution that knocked out the Fascist Regime...Sazalar was considered a fake-Helian and murdered in a very funny way..he was tied to a GPS-guided bomb and dropped over his palace. Hélio Rodrigues was infact a Communist and created the CHUR - Communist Helian Union of Rokolev. During this time, Rokolev prospered..the people's living stardard rised brutally, the military grew stonger and Helian might and advanced technology in fighting aircraft was now clear.

Rokolev Today

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">Stockholm_15.jpg
Former Rokoleva, now known as Tagus, at dusk.
</div>

Rokolev is again a Social-Democrat nation like it used to be before the Fascist Era. The living standards have never been so high, thanks to a free Healthcare and Education system. However, Rokolev has a free market policy..at least when it come to Helians..foreign companies are free to sell and manufacture their products in Rokolev, as long as no Skraeling enters the nation, this means that only Helians will operate and manage the factories, even if they belong to someone else. This has been accepted by a large majority of foreigners, since most of these give a rather large profit.

The Government, however, is extremely large, but it has been able do deal with bureaucracy effectively, specially taking it's size into account. Taxes are 100% in theory in Rokolev (only personal taxes, not corporate taxes..these are considerably lower), but the Government makes sure everyone recives approximately what each company has planned. Poorer citizens usually recive considerably more than planned, while richer recive a bit less. This policy made Rokolev have extremly low levels of poverty, but still having a rather large wealthy sector..social inequality is large not because there are a large amount of poor, but because the rich are extremely wealthy.

The Aeroporian State is still ruled by the Exinius Hélio Rodrigues, the same that made the revolution. He holds total power over the nation, but since no man can do everything alone most of this work is done by the Parlamento..the Exinius can veto/pass any law he wants to however, without Parliamentary vote.

Rokolevian Educational system is not very conventional. It focus a lot of Helian History in order to make the kids a traditional Helian..rationalist, atheist and intelectual. One of the odd things teenagers must study is Introduction to Flight so all of them can understand aircraft technology and have a quicker learning time in Aeroporia Academies.

Rokolevian Politics

Rokolev has a unique political system in Europe. It's leader rules for life, but he is elected by the people. He can veto or pass any law he wishes without asking anyone's permission..this is not very common though. He is responsible for creating the Government.

There are elections, however. These elections are aimed at creating the Parliament (1000 seats), that passes most of Rokolevian laws. There are three main Parties in Rokolev: The Communist Aeroporian Party, the Centrist Aeroporian Party and the Helian Race Party

Centrist Aeroporian Party 290 seats

The CeAP is not so centrist as it may seem. In fact it is Social-Democrat, but some of it's members are more right-winged, hence the name Centrist. It currently holds the majority of the seats in the Parlamento. The name Aeropoian comes from it's aim at developing the Aeroporia.


Communist Aeroporian Party 281 seats The CoAP is composed of members from the former Communist Government, and it manage to get 28.1% in the past elections. They are important in making sure Rokolev does not leave Social-Democrat system, despite they wanted to come back to the old days. Like the CeAP, it's named Aeroporian.


Helian Race Party 280 seats

Definitly the most radical Party in Rokolev. The HRP wants the Helian Race to prevail over all other European races..they are responsible for the killing of 1.250.000 Skraelings a few years ago. Still, the Helians like them very much, hence the 28% in the past elections.


The other 14.9% are held my many minor importance Parties like the Hurray for KGB Party, the Illuminati, Maoist Farmers Party and many others...some of these only have one member in the Parlamento.

International Relations

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">SoG.gif
South German Flag
</div>

Rokolev has odd international relations..traditionally isolated, but with many allies and unfriendly nations. Among it's allies and friends are powerful nations like Qantrix, South Germany, Erlangen-Ansbach, Cidonia, Nuttylnd and Twente. Despite it's traditional isolationist policies, Helians have realized that they could not do everything by themselves, they needed other nations to help them..this forced them to forget tradition, or they'd be underdeveloped in some areas. Still, they refuse to share a great deal of it's unique Aeroporia technologies.

It's KGB anti-Monarchy policies have given Rokolev some problems, but no military action was ever done against them, though the oposite has already happened without a single loss so far.

Rokolev has taken part in some of the recent conflicts, like the Monkecian Invasion, helping the Monkecians successfully by defeating enemy air defenses and downing the defending Hugolandian and Brittish fighters without casualities..the Spanish Civil War by doing very successful SEAD and CAP missions, also without casualities..and recently in Vocur, though they haven't seen combat yet.

Helian Military

The Helian Armed Forces are extremely well financed, and use very sophisticated equipment. It recives 47% of the Rokolevian National Budget.

The Helian Army is responsible of attacks on ground targets or positions, bombing missions and civilian training. It is also responsible for the large amount of underground tunnels. It is a small force, it only has 500,000 soldiers (total). It relies more on MBTs and attack helicopters. The Rokolevian MBT is the Nega, using Dorchester Depleted Uranium Modular Armor and a 140mm gun. It's engine is located at the front of the tank, not behind..this makes the tank resistent to back hits and protects the crew from KE munitions shot at its front.

The Aeroporia..the wealthiest and most advanced Air Force in Europe*, it recives nearly 43% of the national budget. The Aeroporia is almost totally focused on downing enemy fighting aircraft, rather than anything else. It's fighters are the stealthiest in the whole region, not only against radars, but also against IR and other kind of detection systems. It constantly develops new aircraft and missile technologies. The Aeroporia also has many foreign fighters in very small quantities (2 or 3 per fighter) but these are not used in combat missions. The Engineers study them and teach everything they know to the pilots, so they can know what they'll fly against.

The most advanced of these fighters is the RkvF-87A Necryt. It's 2 radars, especially the frontal one, are extremely powerful and stealthy enough to fire at 6 enemy targets without being detected. It was built to eliminate all other kind of enemy stealth figthers, like F-22s and similar ones...and it has done it without a single casuality, even when heavily outnumbered. It's stealth capacities are unmatchable, it's firing capacities outstanting, and even not being the most agile fighter ever, it's a deadly dogfighter, thanks to the Helmet Mounted HUD and extremely agile missiles.

An extremely agile version of it (baptized as Necryt II) has been developed, but only Theta Squadron flies it.

Each Necryt II costs 615,000,000 euro.
