While the nation is often called, The Revolutionary Soviet Union of Hogsweat (Ybuib Id Ecikyruiblet Aicuwe Ewoyvkuxa Id Gifaqwlr), the Hogsweatian flag is referred to as the Glorious Soviet Banner. The Four yellow stars represent the Hogsweatian Soviet Republics of Chukolo, Tupolovo, Horonezho and Hursko. The Hammer and Sickle represent the Republic of Dorsalo, the Capital Republic of the Revolutionary Soviet Union. The Big Star represents the Union between the five Republics.

Military

The Hogsweatian army is divided into the 40th Army Corp, the 41st Army Corp, the 56th Army Corp and the 55th Army Corp. All Divisions are Guard Divisions, the elite Soldiers of the Sovereign Soviet Republics of Hogsweat. However, the 40th Army Corp and the 41st Army Corp have their MBT elements replaced with Airborne Forces: Instead of the overall 6980 tanks per Corp they have 10,000 Airborne Infantry per Corp.

While the Army has Compulsory Military Service for a period of six weeks, for every eighteen year old, and then every forty-five year old, only a certain amount that have passed the six week period with honours shall be allowed into full-time military service. (anyone that passes military service receives four extra ration cards upon leaving. There is no punishment for failing.) Once the Military Service contract is signed, the individual is signed on for six years. The contract, when renewed, lasts another twelve years, then another four years. After that it is up to the individual how long they spend in Military service.

The other option for Compulsory Military Service is Logistics Training - this is a multi course option which trains individuals in;

• Transportation of Logistics Equipment [TLE]
• Management of Logistics Equipment [ML]
• Aquirement of Logistics Equipmnent [ALE]
• Other Logistics Jobs

Anyone that passes Logistics Training with a C Upwards may join the Logistics Corp.

The Logistics Corp

The job of the Logistics Corp is usually keeping the military on it's feet for extended periods of peace time, and some periods of combat time.

History

The distant past of Hogsweat is a troubled one, and it is a long story, of kings and revolutions, of wars both civil and foreign.

History Timeline

(The Hogsweatian dating system differs from the standard inasmuch as dates by the standard system are set one century ahead of the Hogsweatian system. The dates below follow the Hogsweatian system)

1764  

Hogsweat Enters Anarchy, government is distraught, the country is abandoned although the population continues to grow from 164 Million citizens – The military is also abandoned and the people fend for themselves, forming several major tribes – The Verskoyles, the Vlaszlys, the Kirfalovs, and the Valkadays, and their descendents still exist today, centuries later.

1772 

The peoples are divided, into North Hogsweat and South Hogsweat, the first being one half a wasteland, and the other a lush background, the latter being rainforests and forests. They are separated by the Hoggian Sea.

1774 

The Great War – tensions strain between the Kirfalovs of South Hogsweat, and the Valkadays of North Hogsweat – both are to become of great interest in the Hogsweatian people.

1780 

Both sides begin to gather forces, and the first great confrontation in Hogsweat history begins.

1781 

The war starts – Kirfalov Andranti sends his men to the home town of Valkaday, Muscovia. The siege of Muscovia begins, a bloody battle which will last eight years. Valkaday sends his men by boat around the cape of South Hogsweat, and they hit the capital, Kirfanilov City. However, the force is beaten back, and the remnants of the attack subside into the jungle for frequent raids.

1787 

The South, also named the Greenboys, because of their many forests, begin to lose at Muscovia. Approximately fourteen thousand men, of the North and the South are killed in the Muscovia Main Square, a site today visited by the same number every month.

1788 

Another force relieves the Kingsmen (The North had become a monarchy, with Valkaday as the king.), and now the Kingsmen number in the South had risen to 14,000 ready trained musketeers, with 800 Cannon and 20 Siege Weapons, such as Howitzers and Flameshooters.

1788 

The Southerners in Muscovia are all but beaten back, and the Muscovian docks change hands ninety times in two days. Reinforcements are streaming in from Hogsingrad, who had broken their siege, but none arrived from Smohogensk, and neither had word. Valkaday feared that Smohogensk had fallen.

1788 

Valkaday’s fears were realized as a survivor from Smohogensk crawled back to Hogsingrad, two weeks later, ( Muscovian Docks had changed hands four hundred and eighty times by then, and the Southerners in Muscovia had decreased from twenty thousand to just one thousand five hundred, and with hundreds of young Kingsmen (as they were now called, the equivalent of a musketeer) arriving every day at the docks, the siege of Muscovia had seemed to end. It was also recognized that an extremely large force of Southerners, led by General Verskoyle Gurmain, 30,000 in number, had taken Smohogensk with rapid speed, the five hundred strong garrison, although armed with cannon and fireshooter, where easily overrun by Gurmains strong force. The Southerners, leaving only a small garrison of one thousand men, were now advancing through the Alkatain mountains and in two days would reach the Grand River Hog and its Tributaries – and in a further three days would be at Muscovia, and all hope would be lost. Just as the Northerners had thought victory was imminent, danger loomed over. However, the Southerners weren’t expecting the ferocity of the Alkatainian people.

1788 

The twenty nine thousand strong Southerners had advanced nearly through the Alkatain mountains, when forward scouts found a small force, only eighteen hundred men, were blockading the pass. Verskoyle had a choice – fight the Alkatanians, who were outnumbered by at least twelve to one, or go round, costing him an extra day. Verskoyle chose to fight, and that was his grave mistake. Already cavalry from Hogsingrad had reached Smohogensk, and were mopping up the Garrison. A force of two thousand Cavalry, led by Vlaszly Burfati, were coming to the aid of the Alkatanians. Verskoyle, with no care for the common soldier, charged his men through the ten metre wide pass – against the outnumbered and outgunned Alkatanians – and yet the mountain people held, against wave after wave of Southerners. It is rumored captain Haivasky, of the Alkatanians, killed forty Southerners before being shot in the leg, and continued to stab and kill twelve Southerners, before being swamped by eager young Greenboys. If this rumour is true or not, is debatable, but it certainly formed a good story. By the end of the day, at sunset, nine thousand southerners lay on the mountain pass, to the loss of five hundred Alkatanians. Verskoyle, now using superior tactics, bombarded the Alkatanians, who were now licking their wounds, with howitzers, before a mass infantry charge. A further three hundred mountain men were dead, to the loss of four thousand Southerners. The bloody battle raged, and the pass is now called Red Pass, for several reasons, one of them being that it was painted a new colour with the blood of the dead Southerners. Although only one hundred mountain men remained, they were facing at least twelve thousand Southerners with cannon and fireshooter support. At midnight, only fifty remained and their luck had ran out. Verskoyle played his trump card and five thousand men charged up the rocky mountain, fresh reinforcements from the homeland. The Alkatanians fought bravely but every last one was killed. However, this long battle of attrition, lasting longer than it would have done to pass another way, had given the Northerners the upper hand. While Verskoyle commanded thirteen thousand men, he became outnumbered two to one – a large force of Kingsmen from Muscovia and Hogsingrad had arrived, at least twenty thousand Northerners blocked off the Southern escape. And then Valkaday played his trump card. Four thousand cavalry, led by Vlaszly ( the general had recruited two thousand more on the way from Alkatain ) were behind the Southerners, cutting off all escape. They charged into Verskoyle’s rearguard, but by the time Northern reinforcements had arrived, Verskoyle was nowhere to be seen. Captain Higgle took control, but he was nearly as incompetent as Verskoyle, and pushed half of his men against the cavalry, telling them to drop their pikes and shoot. The remaining half came round the side of the cavalry, in a vain pincer movement. However, by the time they had committed this, the cavalry had broken through and killed five thousand Southerners, and the remaining one thousand had been routed. The pincer troops found, that to their surprise, the Cavalry ignored them, and chased down the southerners. However, the pincer infantry found themselves confronted one on one with a twenty thousand, and although they fought bravely, they were no match for the determined northerners. Verskoyles force was wiped out, and Verskoyle was found in a small row boat travelling to South Hogsweat, while a Navy Cutter intercepted him and captured the General himself. In this act, the war ended, with at least seventy five thousand Southern losses, and seventy nine thousand Northern losses.

1790 

Both sides are reunited, in an act of disgression, Valkaday disbanded the South Hogsweat government, and turned both nations into one. Although united together, the two islands remained hostile to each other for some time.

1803 

Valkaday dies to a fever, and the crown is passed to his son, Valkaday Armason. Hogsweat flourishes under Armason’s rule, and for another fifty years the crown becomes un-rivaled.

1856 

A plot to kill Armason is discovered, and the plotters are put to death by being hung,drawn, and quartered.

1870 

Armason is growing old, and before he dies, the first automatic weapon is conceived, named the KA/89. It shoots five bullets a minute, something not known before.

1880 

Armason dies, and the throne goes down again to another Valkaday.

1885 

The first vehicle is made, a primitive steam engine that carries twelve privileged members from Muscovia to Hogsingrad.

1899 

The car is invented, and the ViZlion, is born, a genius of inventor Marka Vizlion.

1918 

A rebellion, led by Marcus Verukus, is formed, to turn the country Socialist. It is quashed, but Valkaday is looked upon differently by everybody in the country.

1920 

The rebellion returns, and this time in the form of an insurrection in Smohogensk. A farm worker is denied his wages by his master, and he incites revolution by burning his crops, and refusing to work until he is justly treated. Other farmers follow, and a small force is sent to stop them – however, by this time, governor Jugialatan thinks that everything is under control, although he issues a curfew. The curfew is broken by a small group of factory workers, who boycott their factory, staying out for two days in the cold and the heat, appealing for basic Civil Rights. Their ultimatum is rejected by Jugialatan. The boycott turns to nastiness, nastiness turns to incititement, and soon, all the factories and docks in Smohogensk are overrun by angry workers. Two thousand men and women, angry and armed with rifles and other various arms, take the garrison and arm themselves. The revolution turns to a full blown war, with nine thousand armed soldiers taking the governors house, and effectively, with it, the whole city. More are incited, and much of the population, twenty two thousand are recruited for the revolution. The army sent to Smohogensk are raw recruits, and without wishing to fight, they lend their guns, (bolt action rifles) to the revolution, arming them revolutionaries better. The red rebellion, as it is now named, hits nearby towns and recruits the farmers and workers for the cause, an army of forty thousand is easily raised, and they sweep across the east of the North, gathering strength. The garrison in Hogsingrad, twelve thousand strong, and the armies of the river, nineteen thousand, form together. However, the revolutionaries now number sixty thousand, and they march down to Muscovia. The armies of the river meet with them, and the battle of the ninth tributary, a trade town is fought, and both take horrific casualties, but the revolutionaries are determined to win, and the armies of the river are forced back, losing seventeen thousand men, turning their number from thirty one to fourteen, making them outnumbered three to one. They are reinforced by the garrison at Muscovia, four thousand elite Kingsmen. However, this is no match for the revolutionaries, and soon they raise the red flag above the governors house in Hogsingrad. Recruiting more for their mock-army, the revolutionaries advance down the river, stretching a line more then sixty-two thousand men long, armed with artillery and mortar, surround Muscovia. The armies of the river are routed, and they spread into small river settlements. Muscovia lies open, the kings soldiers are beaten, and in two days the Revolutionaries march into Muscovia, and Huskan, the red leader, puts his ultimatum to Valkaday. Surprisingly the king agrees. The treaty still remains. It reads :

• The king shall recognize the people and their importance
• The king may still be in control
• The country shall turn to a Socialist Republic, no longer a monarchy
• The king is to be premier
• The Army and the Navy are to receive proper training and a refit.
• Taxes are to be lowered
• Everything is to be communally owned
• Huskan is to be recognized as leader of Parliament
• A parliament is to be formed
• The welfare system, the fire service, the hospitals, the police, the prisons, the education, the factories and *farms are to be refitted and changed

Followed by signatures of Huskan and Valkaday. To this day, Valkaday Jumara’s descendants are still Premiers, loved by the people.

1940 

(The brackets are the equivalent of nowadays inventions)

The age of knowledge begins : The following are developed by Hogsweatian Scientists:

1998 

A Capitalist Uprising occurs – rebels in Karavia sieze control, and General Vlaszly takes immediate action, by using his new weapon – a biological bomb. Over thirty nine thousand are dead, and upwards of ninety thousand are injured/infected. The city is quarantined for eight years, but eventually people are allowed back in. It is renamed New Karavia.

2001 

The Cold War begins – The Forces Of Freedom Fight the Forces of Oppression. Armies are Mobilized, Nuclear Weapons are aimed, and sides are taken immediately. Hogsweat joins the ASDU (Allied Socialist Defence Union), formed by the Tsardom of Dr_twist to combat GDODAD (Global Dominion of Dictators Against Democracy) .

2010 

The cold war ends, but tensions with the Federal Union begins. TFU betrays CoreWorlds and blockades the country. Hogsweat blockade-busters muster and a naval battle is fought. CoreWorlds and allies win, and The Federal Union surrenders. (OOC: This war was forgotten and ignored by all sides, due to TFU getting annoyed and requesting his nation to be deleted)

2044 

All has been peaceful for some time, but the peace is broken one unfortunate night. One unfortunate night, General Vlaszly and his Elite Red Guard storm the Premier's Building, killing Premier Valkaday and officially taking control of the country. Nearly half the army turn to to Vlazsly's Orthodox Fascism, and they push forwards northways from Muscovia to meet the Loyalist army, which at that point, was outnumbered by at least 4-1 and outgunned similarly, with a lack of tanks and artillery. What they did have, however, was grim determination. Within two days, the first four out of nine tributaries were under Fascist Control, but the main battle of the war, the battle of the Ninth tributary was soon to come. Fascist advances were slowed gradually, but over the course of six days the Loyalist army was routed in a mad blitz attack and all Socialist Combat Units were in full retreat. A defense line, consisting of only twenty five thousand troops against fascist twohundred and sixty thousand, was formed, called the Tributary Defense Line. This line, however, was weak, and the troops demoralised and underpowered. However, a brave Colonel Stanislav Chukiov ralled the troops with his famous speech;

"No less than a week ago, Fascist forces overran our capital and they have pushed north, flattening our resistance. This will stop now - Today, we fight. Today, we push back Fascist hordes to whence they came across the Hog, and we shall slaughter them like the dogs they are, their backs penned against our river. I order, no, I ask, that every soldier holding this defense line with his life. Anyone that does not wish to fight may leave now. Comrades, we must defend this line to our dying breath! Not one step backwards! Destroy the Fascist Invader, rip his black heart from his chest, crush his skull, Victory to Loyalist soldier! For Hogsweat! For Socialism!"

That day, no single Hogsweatian Loyalist retreated from his position. The battles raged on for a week, the Hogsweatian Loyalists being outnumbered more than 10-1. Every single soldier was masscacred in their trenches and foxholes as the unstoppable fascist tanks and artillery crushed the vain defenses of the Tributary Defense Line. However, losses were heavy for the fascist, with some three thousand two hundred tanks knocked out of action, and around eighty thousand Fascist soldiers live were lost assaulting the Tributary Defense Line. Eventually though, all regiments around the tributary were destroyed, except one, the 231st Guards Rifles. This was Stanislav Chukiov's regiment, which fought to the death on hill 304, Stanislav Chukiov being the last to fall, but not after he destroyed fourty four fascists with rifle, grenade, and bayonet.

Meanwhile, in the Capital, the resistance was hard at work. Now, thousands of foreign soldiers had poured into the city and were decimating the small garrison that had not gone out to pursue the Loyalists. Vlaszly himself had retreated two miles down into the Nuclear Defense Bunker. Now the blow of the month long war was to come - Vlaszly, realising his short-lived regime was near defeat, activated the whole of the Hogsweatian Nuclear Payload. Nations around the world felt the sysmic reaction, but they were more startled where it landed.. Hogsweat itself.

The nation was annihalated. All features were removed. Instead of lakes, giant cracks in the ground were formed. The Alkatain mountains were basically turned inside out. The grand river hog was a giant, dry, radioactive, valley, larger than the Grand Canyon.
