The region of Haven is geographically located within the North Pacific and consists of two large landmasses known as East and West Haven. Although the continent that includes West Haven also encompasses other regions, including The Democratic Underground, East Haven is completely contained by the Haven region. A large body of water known as the Haven Straits seperate the two continents.
Climate
The region of Haven encompasses a wide range of territory, and as a result, a wide range of climates. Although in most of the region the temperature varies between moderate and cool the Southern portions of East Haven approach the equator. Currents running through the Haven Straits also tend to vary temperatures in coastal nations.
History
The region of Haven was founded as a replacement for the Allied Island States, a loose collective of nations lying on or around the Haven Straits. Shortly after the official designation and founding of the Haven region, the United Alliance of Progressive States (UnAPS) was formed by some its members and Haven became the official home of that alliance. Since the fall of the UnAPS, Haven has become a radically different place, where struggles between a variety of different ideologies have caused rifts in the previously peaceful region. Disputes between the imperialist Scandavian States and liberal democratic Feline and Ilek-Vaad have especially marked the recent history of the region. The Organization of Haven States (OHS) was formed upon the fall of the UnAPS in order to fill the power vacuum and keep the region from falling into war.

The Hogsweat-Scandavian War
Note that all dates given use the Scandavian standard dating system
Jan 1, 2782
Hogsweat launches 12 Tomahawk cruise missiles against the Scandavian city of Galicia. Early estimates state that around 20,000 are dead and twice that many are wounded.
Twelve hours later Empress Lien Larsen addresses the region and the world. In her speech she warns that those responsible, "will face the consequences" and she also warned the crew of the submarine that launched the missiles that, "In abstentia, you shall be tried by the High Court of the Imperium for the mass murder of Imperial citizens and crimes of war... They will die by my hand and the blade of the Sword of the Imperium."
Jan 2, 2782
Foreign aid is sent and begins arriving at the capital of the Galicia Isles province.
Hogsweat begins mobilization for the defense of its homeland, the effort is marred by confusion and poor logistics.
The Imperium launches satellite-based kinetic weapons against Hogsweat's primary air bases and two Doujin class superdreadnaughts in harbor. Both Doujin class vessels, HNV Apple Pie and HNV Fried Bacon, are sunk after extensive vaporization of their decks and puncturing of the hull below water.
Jan 3, 2782
The Great Scarlet Fleet of the Imperial Navy sets sail under the command of Fleet Admiral Xavier de Soto. Under the Admiral's flag is the fixed-wing superdreadnaught Tartarus (flagship), 12 Morrigan class carriers, 2 Leviathan class superdreadnaughts, 10 Fenrir class dreadnaughts, 12 Ryuho class guided missile battlecruisers, 48 Alexandria class attack cruisers, 36 Gaea class guided missile destroyer, 36 Sabre class hunter-killer destroyers, 36 Revenge class escort destroyers, 36 Clan Grant class fleet replenishers, and 12 Upholder class fleet attack submarines.
Jan 4, 2782
Hogsweat kills 200,000 of its convicts, blaming Scandavian States. Official declaration of war follows. Hogsweatian HiKom issues the Defense of the Motherland! Act, allowing them to requisition anything ande everything they need to wage war with Scandavian States.
Jan 6, 2782
Great Scarlet Fleet sets up blockade and begins bombardment of Dorsalgrad, it is expected that no static defenses or bases will remain operational once bombardment is complete in three days time.
Blatant attempts at arming the Hogsweatians with superior weapons are ignored by the Imperium for the time being. This policy might or might not change when the war begins in earnest.
Jan 7, 2782
The first air battle of the war is a small, but decisive victory for the Imperium. 12 F-107C naval fighters attack and destroy three Hogsweatian Mirage F-1 land-based fighters. One F-107 is lost while closing with the sole Mirage that survived the original launch. That the missiles managed to achieve a lock at all is judged to be a freak ocurrance, there appeared to be no failure in either the radar cancellation system or other passive stealth measures.
Operation: Icarus begins. 5 wings of B-106 Warcrow medium bombers take off from West Galicia Isle at 4 PM local time, when they arrive at their launch point roughly two hours later it is 9PM Dorsalgrad time. Several thousand ASM-2C Fasthawk Air-Luanched Anti-Radiation Cruise Missiles are fired towards Dorsalgrad, with the goal of completely and utterly destroying Hogsweatian air defenses in the area.
