Crimmond was once the lands of Poland, Czeckloslovokia, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Kaliningrad. Founded from a war and led through many, many more through it's illustrious history of bloodshed, cruelty and warmongering, there has only been one era that the nation has been at total peace.
That changed with the Black Staff, Crimmond's intelligence organization and one of the best shadow organizations in the world, took power. Led by Agent Delta, later Administrator, the Black Staff roused the nation from it's peaceful slumber with wardrums, annexing neighboring Baggera(bringing with it Belarus, Kaliningrad, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania). He vowed to not stop there, putting down small rebellions throughout the Provinces easily.
Alliances
Crimmond has an active membership in the Crimmond Combine and Ministry at this time.
Previous alliances have included the first incarnation of the GDODAD, the WMNK, the International Banking Organization, Galactic Alliance, the Crimmond Combine Inter-Regional Alliance(the first incarnation of the Combine) and the APTO.
Crimmond Military
The Crimmond military might is not split into five divisions like most nations on Earth. Instead of an Army, Airforce, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, Crimmond only has a Navy and Marine Corps, which handle the responsibilities of the absent branches. The Navy handles both Naval and Airforce matters. The Marines take on the roles of Army and Coast Guard in addition to the amiphibious role of a Marine Corps.
Crimmond's Navy has changed dramaticly since the early days of Naval superiority. Reduced from a total of eight carrier battlegroups, one-hundred and fifty submarines and nearly 200 free roaming surface ships, the Olde Man's Navy, as they are known throughout the fleet as, has only one carrier group and less than a dozen free roaming ships. Submarines have reduced as well, but they are not the old nuclear and diesel subs of old. The three dozen submarines roaming the waters for Crimmond are all Supremacy Class Stealth Submarines. The most famous of which is the CSS Monitor, which had a class of space cruiser named after it.
The space navy is much better equipped, though equally different from the rest of the world and the rest of the galaxy. While long range is the key to most fleets, Crimmond fleets employ one of the oldest naval attacks. The broadside. Only once in history has Crimmond fought a naval battle with the same nation twice. This rarity of repeat engagments is because of one fact: Crimmond captains and admirals will ram the enemy fleet if a battle is not going well and sometimes if it is. Seeing a dreadnaught blast it's way through waves of fighters, knocking frigates and light cruisers aside and blowing apart as it strike your command ship... the sheer morale effect is worth the monetary loss, propmting the fleet to refitted with reinforced bows and in some cases solid depleted uranium/steel alloy bows.
There was also a defection from the fleet, called Task Force Renegade.
Marines
The Crimmond Marine Corps is in two halves as well. The Assault Marines and the Strike Marines. The Assault Marines are geneticly engineered super soldiers, as many nations employ. Some are walking mountains of flesh while others are frailer than any normal human. The Strike Marines are the normal volunteer half of the Corps, using technology not that far advanced from the modern militaries around the world.
Strike Marines employ many advanced technologies in the medical, transport and suppliy and information gathering roles. But the Generals realized that a high powered laser rifle can kill you just as fast as a 7.62mm assault rifle can, so troops in the Strike Marines carry weapons not that different than the roots of the Corps.
Assault Marines, on the other extreme, employ everything from individual soldiers with powersuits, ion weapons, lasers that can slice through flesh like butter and explosive arsenals that can bring down skyscrapers to the most contrversial armored units in history. The Battlemechs. From the Madcat to the Atlas to the Raven, most of the common mechs are here, as are a special variety of mech. The Scythe Enforcer Class Urban Mech. Fast, agile, lightly armored and able to literally vanish into a city, these Mechs are not meant to stop an army, but to merely drive them insane in urban enviroments.
