History and the current situation

After nearly 30 years of bloody civil war a stable government was formed with the view of transforming Clandonia and steping back onto the world arena ending the period of isolation. Deaths from the civil war numbered in the millions with over 2 million killed by the anarchist purgeing of the socialist south. With the apointment of President Urkov leading the Democratic Socialists it hoped things can change, but with the recent attacks there are now calls to restart the conflict as the death toll mounts with an estimated 400 civilians killed in recent attacks. President Urkov has anounced a massive rearmanment programe to modernise the CP's armed forces to fight the anarchists who have been equiped with hi-tech weaponry.

After the end of the Troubles the war against the various CA began between ADAN and GASN, Clandonia on the ADAN and GASN side was invaded by Blainsville put up by the Griffinfest Corporation. In reponse several nations rushed to the aid and the invasion was quickly destroyed. In reponse after a short period Clandonian commanders declared war on Blainsville and bombed the country with the help of the GASN who were also commencing ground invasions against the Blackhelm Confedercy as well. In response the corporation bombed Clandonia and launched chemical tipped scuds at the capital. In retaliation Clandonia authorised nuclear weaponry and used tactical NW-590 warheads on the launch sites in Blainsville and on various other military and strategical targets. Then in a very bad turn of events the Corporation won the support of the Confedercy which launched missiles at Clandonia. In reponse any bombers still in the air or on route were advised to launch any remaining munitions on Blainsville which resulted in the destruction of the country. With 400 paratroopers on the ground, allied air support came in saving them from an Griffinfest APC attack. In return the Confedercy launched more missiles targetting the entire country in a matter of minutes millions were dead and wounded and the country was severly damaged and demoralised. All military ops were cancelled as ADAN allies poured in aid and support promising to retaliate and be vengeful on Blackhelm as their invasions continued, New Ashua promised revenge and launched several ICBM's at the Confedercys capital. With the first democraticly elected leader President Urkov killed then there has be unrest if a civillian government will be reinstated

Climate and Geography

Cold artic glacial climate in the Northern Mountain range, in the southern province the flat plains provide a temperate climate with ocasional desert areas such as the Whiskey Desert to the West. Mineral deposists lie in the Northern mountains where glaciers still carve up the ground exposing valubable minerals and materials. In the South the rolling flat plains provide excellent crop land. Oil has been found within Clandonian teritorial waters which is currently being assesed for its extraction potential. Winter storms have become a major hazard engulfing the southern temperate regions with a blanket of ice and snow which meteorologists have suggested is due to the advancing glaciers. Nuclear winter began with the area becoming even more desolate than it was before, people were forced out of the cities and large pockets of radiation called 'hot spots' are out, travel is only advised by air or on the official 'clean' roads.
