The Chevrokian Republic 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

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 the Chevrokian Republic, 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."

Overseas Expansion

Irathria

The first wave of Chevrokian overseas expansion came under the Johanson administration, with a venture into the geographic region of Irathria. The land grant eventually became a vital territory of the Chevrokian Republic due to its extensive resources, however, a lack of other development has kept Chevrokian Irathria merely at the federal status of Territory.

Terra Recedentia

The second wave of expansion came on the continent of Terra Recedentia, discovered by accident as the result of a Republic Navy submarine running aground. Further exploration uncovered little in the way of resources, and the territory is relatively small, possessing only a small naval and air base in addition to a research establishment. Rumors that the region might be used for nuclear weapons testing have not been confirmed or denied by the Johanson administration, or the current Jagland administration.

Africa

The third, and most recent, wave of Chevrokian expansion came in East Africa in the former nations of Tanzania and Burundi. Following a widespread collapse of national structures, current President Olav Jagland ordered six Republic Marine divisions in to restore order, with the aid of detatchments of the Republic Air Force and the Chevrokian Army. With the area secured and a new government established, the region was formally annexed into the Chevrokian Republic on 9 April 2007 as the Øst-Afrika District, more commonly referred to as "Chevrokian East Africa."
