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.

The Empire now includes lands that were once The Brotherhood of Nod: Egypt, Lybia, the Sudan and Ethiopia.

Recent History

That reign of peace ended when 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.

The Black Staff later betrayed Delta, by framing him with the attempted murder of Damien Dreadfire's son. This brought the wrath of Automagfreek to Crim shores, but to support Delta in a purge. The Black Staff was decimated and was absorbed into the Crimmond Imperial Inquisition.

Delta was killed in the last battle of that war and was replaced by Riok Oran and then Davion Varchak, who had unexpectadly resurfaced, after being declared dead a decade earlier. His reign was short, though. A purge of the non-humans in Crimmond brought threats of war to the nation, though it did not erupt into battle. Delta himself suprised the nation by returning from declared death five years later, more twisted and darker than ever before, with abilities that were inhuman. Varchak's regime was dismantled and the dictator exectuted. Delta then reclaimed leadership, styling himself Khan.

With the quiet passing of the Brotherhood of Nod, Crimmond armed forces stormed over North Africa. Quickly all that was the Brotherhood's was now theirs. Seen as a cheap land grab by many, it was nonetheless effective at expanding Crimmond from a European Empire into an Intercontinental Empire.

Delta was ousted from power peacefully not long after regaining power and now resides in the lands of Automagfreek, bearing no ill will to his replacement, Andrew Coleman IV. Coleman had a prior reign and is proving that despite war injuries and age, that he is still the capable leader he was in his youth.

Alliances

Crimmond has an active membership in Gholgoth at the moment and a loose affiliation with Metus.

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 APTO and the Crimmond Combine.

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.

Navy

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 were known throughout the fleet as, had only one carrier group and less than a dozen free roaming ships. This has changed with the return of Varchak, who concentrated on rebuilding the navy. Crimmond now boasts a healthy surface fleet and one of the largest submarine fleets in the world

The space navy was traditionally 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.

The Space Fleets are now mostly dismantled, leaving Crimmond with only twelve capital ships in orbit of Earth, serving as mobile command centers and communication hubs for the Surface Fleets.

Marines

The Crimmond Marine Corps was once two halves, but those halves have changed. One is the Crimmond Marine. A standard male or female, usually human, citizen that joins the Marine Corps. Training is on par with other First World nations.

Civils, on the other hand are the workhorses of the Marines. They are a genetically altered species with a bloodlust and intelligence unmatched. They have tougher armor and better weapons than Marines and will happily fall back on knife fighting or even hand to hand if they run out of ammunition.

Imperial Commandos are a very small sub-group of the Marines. They are the best of the Corps' human troops and have been given drastic alterations in surgical enhancements, armor upgrades and top of the line weapons. They were created to prove that humand are just as good as Civils, given teh proper tools.

Leaders of the Empire

Emperor Vladimir Saratov I
Commander of the Crim Gaurd before becomeing the first Emperor. Current Status: DECEASED(Shot during coup)

High Commander Andrew Coleman IV
Three Star General before shooting the Emperor and taking Crimmond into it's bloodiest age as military warlord. Ousted peacfully by Reil Tian. Current Status: See Below

Lord Riel Tian
Advisor to the High Commander during his first reign. Assumed control after Coleman was found stabbing himself in the head with a cooked hotdog. Details of the event were not made public. Replaced by his sister after faking his own death.
Current Status: See Below.

Lady Lara Tian
Sister of Riel Tian and succssor after her brother faked his death in order to track down an old enemy. Unlike previous rulers, she was weak and easily manipulated. Pacifist mentality was quite strong. Ousted by Warlord Goor.
Current Status: See Below.

Warlord Goor
Only non-human to rule in Crimmond. His reign was the shortest of all Crimm leaders, lasting all of three hours, before he was killed by a retired assassin named Domino.
Current Status: DECEASED(fall from a third story window onto concrete)

Domino Saratov Andolini
Daughter of Vladimir Saratov I, she assumed the throne unwillingly. A strong leader, she fared well in quelling several outbursts of terrorism around the Empire. She was not a popular leader, as she would vanish from the nation, leaving her Foriegn Minister as interim leader while she was away. Willingly gave power back to Riel Tian as he resurfaced, alive and well.
Current Status: DECEASED(incinerated by Ravelyn Shentavo)

Reil Tian
Returning from his mission, along with his sister, Riel reclaimed his throne and led popularly for several more years. A terrorist attack in the nation's largest city, Myer, claimed his sister and nearly drove him insane. He became isolated and mentally unstable for some time and was finally removed from power by assassination.
Current Status: DECEASED(shot by Agent 283 of the Black Staff)

Agent/Khan Delta
Delta's history is not known to many more than a dozen people worldwide. He is a human demon hybrid, created by a demon not only possesing a human, but destroying their mind utterly and fully claiming the body. After a brutal takeover of the nation, Delta ruled through fear and death for several years. Then the Black Staff turned on him and he died on the battlefield.
Current Status: See Below.

Overlord Varchak
Davion Varchak, the supposedly dead leader of Baggera, reemerged suddenly and managed to sieze power in the power vacuum after Delta and the Black Staff were swept aside. Being a former Crimm general and providing proof that the High Commander had named Davion(not Reil Tian) to be his heir, he claimed the throne and started a brutal campaign against all non-humans, save for his Foriegn Minister. His reign was bloody and is considered by far the most tyranical. He was shot several dozen times by Imperial Marines in his bunker as Delta returned from death.
Current Status: DECEASED(shot while 'resisting arrest')

Khan Delta
Delta returned to power colder and more frightening than he had been before he died(or rather his human body died). Five years after death, he reassumed the throne and repaired the nation. The nation took on a much more gothic feel, rather than a post-modern industrial jungle like it had before and Delta became much more interested in World Affairs, rather than those at home. He vanished from the nation suddenly and has not been heard from since.
Current Status: Alive(residing in Automagfreek)

High Commander Andrew Coleman IV
After so many bloody, ugly and tyranical rulers in a row, the people called for a ruler that was strong, fair and could be trusted. Out of the possible candidates, only one was still alive. The High Commander, now well into his sixties, returned to the throne looking much as he did so many years before(thanks to a beret with a wig, dark sunglasses and padded jackets). Despite health problems and a missing foot(lost to illness but is publically a war wound), he has ruled fairly and has finished the rebuilding of Crimmond. He also finished Delta's annexation of the African Province and has proven to be as stong as ever. After suffering a stroke and years of failing health, he was finally forced to step down and allow his son to rule.
Current Status: Alive(Advisory position to the Emperor)

Kenneth Coleman II
Son of the High Commander, he had not held any major command in the military nor any major political office before becoming Emperor. Once taking power, he announced sweeping changes, dissolving the Inquisition, allowing elections for Senate, reducing the size of government in the citizen's lives.
Current Status: Alive(Emperor)
