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.
The Georgetown Conference
The first day of the Georgetown Conference began with a treaty proposal from The Beltway's Foreign Minister, Mark Warner. The conditions were as follows:
1. Gilabad is to admit responsibility for beginning the conflict.
2. Gilabad is to sell the most distant of its offshore islands to The Beltway for a sum of $50 million US.
3. Gilabad is to rescind its law permitting the GSP to summarily execute accused criminals without trial, and to guarantee to all accused criminals the right of due process.
The Gilabad represenative, Ambassador Paul Brehmer, prompty rejected this proposal, stating it to be "immoral and unreasonable." Mr. Warner followed up by stating that since Gilabad started the war and put forth the cease-fire, that they would have to give up something.
Chevrokian President Ragnar Johanson, emphasized that the Gilabadian government should recognize that it's citizens be allowed the right to be legitimately tried, if they are accused of committing a crime.
Brehmer shot back, again stated that Gilabad will not give up any of their territory, and will not change their judicial system to allow citizens the due process of law. He also stated that, "If you must know, Gilabad is a very large nation and we are very well capable of taking all of you...nations on."
Irathrian ChevyRocks
Land Grant
On 9 May 2006, the Johanson administration was given a plot of land on the continent of Irathria. Over the next few days and weeks, some 450,000 military personnel were transported to the new colony, as well as 10,500 vehicles, 5,433 aircraft, and a naval task force of 45 ships. Along with that, some 50,000 civilians arrived in the Irathrian colony, mostly for administrative work while infrastructure was set up.
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.
Businesses
Chevrokian Strategic Aviation
Since the 1950's, C.S.A. was responsible for the majority of the large aircraft in service in the Chevrokian Republic Armed Forces. They recently were allowed to export a number of designs in production.
The first sale was made to the Federated Union of Democratic Colonies, at a price of $7,600,000,000, for 200 CB-75A Hydrolifter seaplane transport aircraft.
