The United Republic of Federal Trodenhiem is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 1.06 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

The people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, military spending is on the increase, abortions are routinely performed in Federal Trodenhiem's hospitals, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Federal Trodenhiem's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the universal credit.

History

Imperial Trodenhiem Overview

Main Article: Trodenhiem NOTE: The Main Article lay Contain less Information than this one, this is due to a total revision of these pages, to contain more detail as laid down in the original Role-Play.


Federal Trodenhiem is the last remaining remnant of the Trodonian Nation (Also known as Imperial Trodenhiem), unlike Southern Trodenhiem which is no longer affiliated in any way with Trodenhiem itself, and Northern Trodenhiem which has since been absorbed into North Cadia following the Trodoneo-Cadian War, Federal Trodenhiem maintains the traditions and much of the culture of Trodenhiem.

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">greekinfantry.jpg
An artist's recreation of the Palatine Phalanx Hoplites.
</div>Trodenhiem was founded by Julian I in circa 5000 B.C. Juilian was the head of a large nomadic people called the Trodden, with his people they settled in the central plains of the Troden Continent in what is now the Federation of Allied Nations, the settled a village called Capita, later to become the Trodonian Capital. Initially they lived in clans and villages, however as threats from neighbouring tribes increased, they were forced to fortify, thus the traditional walled towns began. Initial these walled towns were little more than tribal settlements surrounded by pallisade walls, however by 350 B.C. thier culture was so well developed that they followed a traditional Greek architecture, and had constructed large stone fortifications around towns and cities of stone and mortar. This lead to the Trodonian Classical Golden Age, an age where the Trodden people flourished, thier architecture became known across the world, sharing similarities to both Greek and Roman work. They constructed merchant fleets and thier military traditions of armoured spearmen equipped with short swords known as Palatine Phalanx Hoplites made them successful as an expansionist force.

As the population multiplied it became apparent that Despotism could no longer support such a large populace nor award them the respect of the other nearby civilisations, and under the rule of Titherius I the despotism became an Imperium of unified Trodonian tribes, that came to be known as Trodenhiem. The cities united under one flag and the military grew, as did thier populace. As the Golden Age progressed as did thier technology, they began to make more use of heavy cavalry and by 230 A.D. they had developed thier own equivilent to the Byzantine Cavalry, named the Palatine Pranoi Aligon. With thier expansion complete, thier economy boomed to epic proportions, they traded with everyone, and few dared to make war with them.

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">Greek%20Hoplite%205th%20Cent%20BC.jpg
The Palatine Phalanx Hoplite, is by this point Trodenhiem's mainstay unit, and thier equipment has been much improved, however in only 100 years they will be abandoned in favour of more conventional Pikemen.
</div> The Empire had flourished conquering the nearby tribes and nations, and grew in size and wealth. By 1500 A.D. Trodenhiem was established as a major power on the Trodonian Continent, famous for its mounted soldiers and technologically advance arquebusiers, thier culture was amazing, absorbing those of the nations and peoples they had conquered into thier own, and they became the hub of the civilised locale. But in 1812 A.D. the Empire declined in size, as nearby nations expanded and its Golden Age ended, however Trodenhiem was still a major power and its culture continued to grow.

In 1893 A.D. came the formation of the Federation of Allied Nations though Trodenhiem initially refused to join, however due to mounting political pressure from thier neighbours, the Emperor at the time Julian XVIII agreed to join.

The 1900s were marked as the second golden age of the Empire, and it was the first nation to develope the telephone, radios, televisions and auto-matic weapons in the Federation of Allied Nations. Thier advancements did not worry the rest of the region as Trodenhiem was not an imperialistic nation at this point, and they were soon recognised as one of the major leaders of the Federation.

In 1916 the Militocracy of North Cadia was officially recognised as the brother state of the Empire, as thier two peoples shared the common ancestry of the Cradianii Tribes, that predated the Trodden and together the two nations grew to vast proportions, both in size and economic wealth, they fought many colonial wars together, to secure thier overseas territories, and the bond between them grew great.

The 1900s progressed and so too the Trodenhiem its people enjoyed a wealth of civil freedoms, and the security of a constantly advancing military force. The income was more than enough to support the Empire's ever growing population, and the nation was chosen to lead the [[IA {FAN)]] and independant depence force, that would protect the peace and sovereignty of the nations of the Federation.

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">val_maelon%20hoplite.jpg
Trodenhiem's history of Hoplites continues into popular culture, and Computer Games.
</div> In 2005 the Emperor Silas II signed over power to Monte Guerro, who established the Commonwealth of Trodenhiem, a democratic nation with a constitutional monarchy, this was due to the growing pressures from the outside world to conform with the popular choice of government at the time. Monte Guerro was elected as the first President and under his rule Trodenhiem moved into The Serenade, and the rights of the people grew to greater proportions. Monte Guerro's popularity grew, it seemed that no-one dis-liked him, or his policies of high living standards, excellent services and peace for the time. But on the 16th of September 2006 in a sudden act of treachery Silas II siezed power, and enslaved the nation. Though he had signed over power to Monte Guerro and though Monte was immensely popular among the people, the military had come to dislike him due to his ever more peaceful attitude. Silas II took advantage of this, and commandeered the military for himself. The entire populace was placed under a strict curfew, and many were executed for no reason. Soon enough the populace were forced into manual labour, to build up the military, and provide for Silas II's expansionist dreams.

The Invasion of Cassius

In 1865 Trodenhiem engaged in a large land war with the desert Republic of Cassius. Cassius was a valuable area of land, because of its abundance in diamonds, gems and precious metals, and Trodenhiem's then Emperor Maximus Titus I saw that this land would be an excellent addition to the Trodonian Empire.

Cassius was a territory founded by a group of colonials known as the Cassiun. The Cassiun originally came from Aramatherius, but because they were forced to pay taxes to the Aramatheriun Government, without getting any government representation, they rose against Aramatherius and started the Cassiun War of Independance which lasted from 1823 until the summer of 1852.

Emperor Maximus Titus I was determined for glory and sent the Imperial 8th army to Cassius. The beach landing was quick and easy, as the Cassiun naval defences were poor. After this however they were forced to engage the enemy within a day of the landing at the battle of Anderon.

The Battle of Anderon was the one major pitched battles in the Invasion of Cassius, there are few battles in history that showed true military genius, but this was one of the them. The 8th army was horribly outnumbered at least ten to one, so the Trodonian General Petri Onolov ordered his Riflemen to take cover in the bushes and scrub on the hill on thier east flank. His cavalry were wheeled round and hidden behind the hill. The Cassiun soldiers expecting a flanking maneuver moved East, to advance on the lone cavalry unite. However has they approached the hill the Riflemen opened fire on them, three deadly vollies before they charged down and put the Cassiun Troopers to the bayonet.

Meanwhile the cavalry spun around and charged at the advancing central army, destroying the first advance wave, leaving the second wave exposed to the fire of the Royal Grenadiers and the Howitzers. The Cassiun army charged the guns, only to find thier Eastern flank totally exposed to the fire of the Riflemen.

Thousands were slaughtered, and two days later the Cassiun government handed General Onolov the official surrender.

The Colonial Era (1880-1930)

The Colonial Era of Trodenhiem was one of the Empire's bloodier periods, the then Colonially Expansionist Empire of Trodenhiem began a fierce campaign of conquest and bloodshed.

The Era is considered to have began in 1880, however some argue in began as early as 1865 with the invasion of Cassius, however that was merely a single isolated war, that established the first colony, and it took 15 years before the next colonial conquest took place with the annexation of The Valician Union.

Following this came a period of non-stop colonial agression by the Trodonian Empire until they controlled a vast overseas Empire.

The Trodonian Civil War

Main Article: Trodonian Civil War

The Trodonian Civil War began in May 1944 when the Emperor Ulsis I dissappeared, no one to this day knows why he dissappeared or where he went, what is certain is that no-one ever saw him again.

The main cause of the civil war was that Lord Maxmillion Thunderhawk tried to sieze power, few supported this notion, and Thunderhawk was forced to begin an armed campaign to secure his position as the new leader of Trodenhiem.

The Civil war only ended in 1952, when Titherius II returned, and lead the loyalist army to victory against Thunderhawk at the battle of Kergen.

The Thunderhawk Uprising

Main Article: Thunderhawk Uprising

This was Thunderhawk's second bid for power, however was soon supressed by Conrad Kruschev and Silas II.

The Trodoneo-Cadian War

Nicknamed the Last Fall Main Article: Trodoneo-Cadian War

The Emperor's enslavement of his nation did not go unnoticed and Conrad Kruschev, Emperor of North Cadia and the Kruschevan Empire, lead his nations to war with Trodenhiem. On the grounds of freeing his bretheren

Summary of the War

September 16th

Silas II siezes power from Monte Guerro, and starts a brutal coup and enforces a strict curfew on pain of death, more than 100,000 civilians are murdered in one of Trodenhiem's bloodiest massacres since the founding of Imperial Trodenhiem.

September 17th

The populace are enslaved and forced into uninhabitted areas where they are to build work camps and factories. Over 3,000,000 people die in the process, from starvation, the cruelty of thier guards or by the murderous insanity of the Emperor.

September 25th

Following a heated discussion in the North Cadian cabinet room Conrad Kruschev orders his forces be mobilised and sends a message to Silas II telling him to free his people, or face war. The logistics are prepared and supplies are ready for a swift win.

September 26th

Silas II refuses to return power to Monte Guerro and mobilises his own heavily demoralised troops, and poorly supplied troops, troops start to die from malnourishment, starvation and disease, but still the Emperor insists on war.

September 27th

Conrad Kruschev formally declares war and deployment is ordered. The navy is deployed to blockade Trodenhiem's ports, and 100 ICBMs are fired at the military stronghold of Schwelsburg in Trodenhiem, Silas II orders for his own missles to be launched, however the military administrative branch is poorly organised to run an entire country, as well as the military and the orders are lost.

September 28th

The missles hit Schwelsburg, and the city is left in ruins, almost the entire garrison there is slain, the soldiers that weren't, were routing to the nearby woods. The coastal defences come into action firing inneffectively at the North Cadia fleet, and the naval bombardment destroys the defences, leaving the officers firing smallarms at the approaching ships while thier soldiers rout in fear of the Cadian troops.

This is the day of the fateful Schwelsburg march, 20,000 Imperial troops are marched from Capital City to Schwelsburg, more than 5000 never make it, dying of starvation, or in combat on the way. They were unarmed and forced to surrender when they reached Schwelsburg, they had expected to get weapons once they reached the city. Only 3550 of the soldiers survived the ordeal, and these were honourably discharged upon the disarmament of the Imperial Military by North Cadia.

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">cuba_02.jpg

</div>

September 29th

The North Cadian forces land on the now undefended Trodonian coast, and begin to offload thier supplies. Food aid was distributed to the freed slaves in the area, and forward troops took schwelsburg and captured the remaining forces there, and set it up as a Forward HQ. Yet more missles were fired by the North Cadians this time at the Trodonian Capital, Troden City, all 300 hit and the city is all but destroyed.

October 1st

Troden City is entered by North Cadia's troops and a TV camera crew follow thier progress as they search for survivors, there is only one, the Emperor, who is found scrambling through the ash. He is immediately executed in front of over three trillion viewers. The leading military officials of Trodenhiem are found dead, either murdered by thier men or having committed suicide, this day is remembered as Blude De tey Mortez de Noicht (Cadian for "Night of Blood of the Dead"). Monte Guerro is restored to power, and annexes the majority of Trodonian land holdings, to the North Cadian government, who split the land in two. The East goes to the Kruschevan Empire (The nation that Conrad Kruschev built himself), while the West goes to the North Cadian Trading Company. Monte Guerro is escorted by the few remaining loyal FDN and IA troops, to Trodenhiem's remaining land in the Federation of Allied Nations, where he formally re-established the land as Federal Trodenhiem, a democratic republic.

Founding

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">5230.jpg

</div>

Federal Trodenhiem was founded following Silas II's defeat during the Trodoneo-Cadian War.

Following the end of the war, Monte Guerro was escorted by IA and FDN soldiers back to the Federation of Allied Nations to the Trodonian holdings there. Upon his arrival he went to Geddon City and made his speech to the world, declaring the end of Trodenhiem and his founding of Federal Trodenhiem, a totally democratic state.

The next day he met with other ex-politicians from Trodenhiem to discuss the future of Federal Trodenhiem. It was at this fateful meeting that they decided to dismantle the Trodonian Union (Northern Trodenhiem, The Valician Union, Trodenhiem/Federal Trodenhiem) before finally agreeing to use the pre-Trodoneo-Cadian War democratic system, without the Emperor.

The next day the different political parties were reformed, and began campaigning. Instantly Monte Guerro took the nation by storm, winning the hearts and minds, as he had done before. By the end of the week the votes were in, Monte Guerro had won Federal Trodenhiem's first election by a landslide majority of 86%.

Federal Trodenhiem was now officially established.

Troubles in the Federation

Main Article: The First Fall of the Federation

Federal Trodenhiem is a beacon of hope the the now dented and vastly destroyed Federation of Allied Nations. It has maintain itself largely very well, and is the only central power remaining in the region besides Typophiles which sadly has entered an isolationist period.

Monte Guerro has lead the way to a new unified region, and is still trying to rebuild the IA, which is now severely depleted and almost defunct.

With Federal Trodenhiem now located in an area of the Federation of Allied Nations now called Federal Oregon which is the last remnant of the region's true power. This is the one remaining area in which there is law order and hope among the sea of choas that surrounds them.

Monte Guerro has now signed a treaty with Promethius Prime and its new government however there are still concerns over Eketraine's influence over the nation.

Issues in Promethius Prime

Main Article: Promethiun Wars

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">cuban%20flag.jpg

</div>Federal Trodenhiem has recently been engaged in a series of short and bloody wars for Promethius Prime, however owing to the vast forces fighting against them (See: Promethiun Rebels and The People's Army of Promethius Prime) they have been forced totally from the territory, as the Third and hopefully final Promethiun War has taken place, between the Rebels and the People's Army, and Promethius Prime has fallen into an oppressive Communist regime.

The Wars of Unification

Main Articles: The Second Trodoneo-Cadian War, Operation Reunion

In a series of wars the newly reformed Federal Military has invaded North Cadian and Kruschevan Trodenhiem and reclaimed the territory in a shocking and daring display of military prowess that left North Cadia's economy and reputation severely dented.

The Government Provinces

Federal Trodenhiem is split into three Provinces, each one with its own Semi-Autonomous government and laws.

Geddon Province

Geddon Province is the largest and undoubtably richist province in Federal Trodenhiem within it is 50% of the total population, and it houses the capital city of Federal Trodenhiem. It is the fatherland of the old Empire, and is the homeland of the Trodonian people. It has its own flag and prides itself on its wealth and arts.

It houses the Federation of Allied Nations' largest and generally regarded as best university, housing over 25,000 students from all accross the region.

Spartan Province

Spartan Province is the only Province in Federal Trodenhiem with its own seperate state religion of Islam. It is also the cultural centre of the nation, and is home to the government houses, where the members of the current government live, and is also regarded as the religious centre of Federal Trodenhiem.

The people of Spartan Province regard themselves as the true sons of the first to be conquered by the Trodonian people, as such they are incredibly proud of thier lineage, and often choose to pay higher taxes.

Northern Trodenhiem Province

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">hood1.jpg
Recruits from Northern Trodenhiem being trained in bayonet use.
</div>

This province is the remnant of the once proud splinter nation of Northern Trodenhiem (now deceased) and houses only 1 million people. It joined Federal Trodenhiem upon its formation, by choice, as it in itself was too small to defend what it had.

They have thier own currenccy and still us ehte old Northern Trodonian laws and customs. They are however still loyal to Monte Guerro and house some of the most patriotic cities of Federal Trodenhiem, indeed much of the armed forces of Federal Trodenhiem is recruited from here.

Return to the Federation of Allied Nations

The Military

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">20050509-6_g8o2710jpg-515h.jpg
Some of Federal Trodenhiem's Junior Military Officers
</div>

The Military of Federal Trodenhiem has recently been massively reformed by Monte Guerro, the education system entirely revolves around military progress and economic developement.

Thier military is of the maximum possible size, and comprised of a versatile and flexible chain of command, and small companies that train and operate together, this allows for them to maneuver and operate far more effectively and efficiently than most other militaries.

This has been proven by their amazing victory against a force with superior firepower and number, the army of North Cadia.
