The Dictatorship of North Belkan Lands

Brief History

Early History (pre 1989) Belka appeared to be a prosperous, medium-sized nation, which, has invaded the independent nations to its south on more than one occasion. The Belkans were supposedly always pushed back to their original soil, but Belka itself had never been taken.


Federal Law Review and the Fascist Revolution (1989-1995) During a period of peace, Belka initiated a Federal Law Review, which unexpectedly crashed the Belkan economy. During the panic, the Belkan Home Worker's party, a fascist party, seized power and took control of the nation. The transfer of power transformed Belka from a democratic federation to a fascist federation, combining the judicial, executive, and legistrative branches under one controlling banner.

For six years, Belka invested heavily in its military, creating weapons that were unrivaled. It is suspected during this time of preparation of warfare, Belka researched and created at least ten nuclear warheads, likely becoming the fourth out of four countries to be nuclear-capable. As well as upgrading its conventional armed forces as well as nuclear capability, Belka invested in creating large unconventional superweapons such as the XB-0 Hresvelgr, a massive aircraft presumably capable of holding paratroops, infantry, aircraft, bombs (including nuclear warheads); and the Excalibur, a long range laser tower for striking pinpoint targets. These new super weapons, in addition to regular nuclear and a well equipped ground, sea and air force would have made Belka the greatest military superpower in the world. Expecting an attack, other countries developed weapons in order to counter and someday fight the less then subtle preparations of Belka, Allies' governments in retaliation developed the Strategic Orbital Linear Gun (SOLG), which would attack anywhere on the planet from Space with Multi Interception re-entry vehicles (MIRVs). It can be presumed that at this point, Allied Forces began its development of massive submarine military weapons as a means of defense and extending its power to other continents without utilizing the nuclear option.

The Belkan War (1995)

Nuclear blast crater in North Belka.When war was declared in 1995, Belka managed to capture and occupy vast areas of its neighbors' land. As the war progressed, Belka slowly lost its new territories, and opposing forces encroached on the Belkan homeland. The huge resources of some nation were of paramount importance to the counteroffensive.

Soon, Belka had been pushed back to just south of its central mountain range, in the region of Stier, home to several Belkan cities. In an effort to stop the Allies, Belka used seven of its nuclear bombs to create an impassable nuclear barrier, destroying their own cities and killing over 12,000 Belkans in the process. This act officially ended the Belkan War in the North; in Sudentor, the remnants of the besieged South Belkan army, taking adavantage of the confusion following the blasts and subsequent lack of communications (due to the EMP discharge from the nuclear bombs), attempted to break the Allies' line of three divisions. It was a last, desperate charge. As it could be said for the war itself, the Belkans' luck quickly spoiled. On June 20, two weeks after the nuclear blasts, the guns fell silent.

A few Belkan units refused to surrender, however. Many operations still continued against the remnant forces, until it turned out that they were not fighting for Belka. They had joined with units from all over the world to form "A World With No Boundaries", a terrorist group that intended to unify the world into a single nation. However, a great army of mercenary pilots were able to neutralize the group.

A final group of Belkans went deep underground to form a group that would go unnoticed for 7 years. They were called the Grey Men.


Circum-Pacific War (2002) In the years after the war, Belka was crippled both physically and economically. Its expensive armed forces were wiped out and once powerful super weapons now destroyed. Belka also couldn't generate the money needed to recreate any of these, as its occupied land was once again territory of its rightful countries. Even much of Belka's own southern lands had been occupied. Belka now only had control over a cold, mountainous region without enough resources to directly participate in another war. Its population had also taken a significant blow due to the destruction of seven cities, and the loss of even more to the south. For much of the time, Belka appeared to have no working government, but instead was managed by corporations that operated in Belka. One of these companies was the weapons manufactured Gründer Industries, the head of which was a secret member of the Belkan Grey Men, who had seized control of the country seven years ago.

Through Belka's corporate power, the Grey Men and other loyalists began to send weapons to its neighbors, they also saw to it that these two superpowers were secretly sent Belkan fighter squadrons to strengthen each nations' air forces . Belka also produced the V2 nuclear weapon, a MIRV missile fired from the SOLG which could have destroyed at least seven target areas in one shot. Finally, Belka (with agents inside both superpowers' governments) provoked militaristic generals to stage a silent coup, and declare war. Soon after the Belkan fighter squadron abducted President Vincent Harling on the way to a peace conference in North Point, control was usurped by Vice President Applerouth and military officers who resigned several years ago to protest Harling's defense budget cuts. All Belka had to do was to use its two secret aggressor squadrons to periodically provoke the other nation and be sure no one nation got the upper hand.

As both countries' strength faded, Grey Men loyalists took control of the Arkbird, a joint Allied Forces' orbital spacecraft, and armed it with two lasers, UCAVs, and several air to air missile turrets. Their plan was to escalate the war into a final stage by triggering a nuclear strike on the city of Ochabursk. However, their plan was foiled by a squadron of fighters called the "Razgriz". These fighters destroyed the Arkbird along with the nuclear weapon onboard, and eventually exposed Belka's plot, helping reinstate President Harling, with help from Allied Forces' defectors. This squadron of fighters, along with loyalists of Allied Forces both President Harling and Nikanor, attacked the Belkan command post in Sudentor, which was secretly orchestrating the war and preparing the SOLG for a nuclear attack on both nations. They were also constructing a large tunnel to reunite Belka with the land it lost in the Belkan War. With the command center destroyed, the Grey Men ordered one final desperate attack: to drop the SOLG itself on Oured,capital of a neighbor state. The Razgriz destroyed the SOLG in mid-air

Geography

Area:Before the Belkan war in 1995, Belka could be estimated as being roughly 505,000 km² (around the size of Spain); during the height of the war, Belka encompassed an area estimated of around 780,500 km² (around the size of Turkey); after the war and loss of its Southern and South Eastern territories it retreated to an area estimated around 390,500 km² (around the size of Zimbabwe).

Total:390,500 sq km

Land:369,798 sq km

Water:20,702 sq km


Climate

North Belka appears to have very cold winters and cool summers. A mountain range running across the center of the country may provide some protection for the south.

Belka's most noticeable weather conditions consist of heavy snowfall. As a result of the nuclear strike carried out near the end of the Belkan War, most of Belka's central mountain range is too dangerous to inhabit due to radioactive fallout. This seems to have had an effect on the weather patterns of the rest of North Belka, turning it into most of it into an Arctic wasteland, throwing North Belka into anarchy. Effects of the blasts also spread as far south as the former Belkan city of Sudentor which only escaped the blast due to the mountains as evidenced by the ground zero crater north of the city. However, North Belka was not always as desolate as it is today. A vacation town on the North Belkan coast a few dozen miles west of Dinsmark used to attract travellers from all over the world before the Belkan war with a warm, serene environment.


Elevation Extremes: Mt Schirm(4900mt)

Natural Resources: Mining

Notable Geographical Features:

Anfang - A stretch of coastline several dozen miles west of the North Belkan capital of Dinsmark, this used to be a vacationing hotspot before the Belkan war. The vibrant ecosystem and beautiful coastline attracted both young and old, but all that changed during the Belkan war. It is the site of the last battle of the war, which occurred right as the peace treaty was being signed.

Area B7R - the main battle zone at the border between Belka and the Allied Forces, named "The Round Table" by the aces who fly in the area. The topography makes the location look like a giant circle with a 400 km radius, hence its name. It is supposedly the attack corridor used by Belka to invade its surrounding nations, making it an extremely important strategic location, charged to many Belkan aces to defend. Apparently, it also holds a large natural resource reserves that Belka desperately needs to fund its war effort. Aces who distinguish themselves in this area are known as "Knights of the Round Table".

Avalon Dam/Mund Valley - A dam in the Belkan heartland built amid controversy because of its ambiguous purpose; after it was completed, however, the Belkans came to embrace the dam, calling it the pride of Belka as an engineering feat. Following the Belkan war, Belkan engineers who defected to the radical terrorist group "A World with No Boundaries" completed the V2 MIRV missile and planned to launch it from Avalon, but the missiles was destroyed before they could fulfill their deadly purpose.

Dinsmark - The capital of the Belka Federation and the state of North Belka, home to the University of Dinsmark.

Glatisant - An ancient Belkan fortress built on the top of Mt. Ivrea. The Belkan army converted it into a modern base, the centerpiece of the Hydrian line, a defence line that stretched as well as a suspected nuclear production facility. It was destroyed by the Allied forces.

Hoffnung - A major industrial center for Belka known as the "Sleepless Town" for its non-stop industrial productions. The city was razed to the ground by the retreating Belkan forces as part of their newly instated scorched earth policy, attempting to keep Belkan technology out of the Allies' hands.

Lumen - A border city in South Belka, Lumen was the site of the peace resolution talks after the Belkan War. It was attacked by the XB-0 Hresvelgr several months later.

Mt. Schirm - A mine in North Belka from the Belkan Federation's more prosperous era. Probably abandoned during the 80's when the vein went dry, possibly affecting the already chaotic Belkan economy. An operation occurred over the area during the Circum-Pacific War, when a significant force was used to defend the mine as nuclear weapons were being stored. Schayne Plains - Belka's second line of defence, the Schayne Plains are an open expanse of fields, bisected by a branching river. In the middle of the war, the Allieds neutralized the defence capabilities of the defence line, but suffered massive casualties when the Belkans used the chemical laser Excalibur to attack the allied aircraft.

Stier Castle - An ancient castle in the Stier region, overlooks one of the seven nuclear blast craters left from the Belkan War. The battle against the Hresvelgr also occurred here. President Harling was kept in captivity here during the Circum-Pacific War of 2002.

Tauberg - a forested area in the heart of Belka. It originally was a Belkan National Preserve, and had over 60 species of mammals and over 200 species of birds. During Belka's military expansion period, however, the land was bought by the Belkan Army as the site that would become the territory of their super laser, Excalibur. Rather than destroying the wildlife's habitat, though, the secretive nature of the Excalibur program actually prevented outside influences from affecting the wildlife. The wildlife had adapted to living alongside the technology of Belka.

Notable Weapons and Technology: The massive XB-0 Hresvelgr aircraft is the second super weapon originating in Belka, the first being the Excalibur, a system of chemical lasers designed to shoot down planes. Developed by the Belkan Gründer Industries, this gargantuan flying fortress is actually a prototype with no mass production as of 1995. With six engines, each with an output of 1350.2 kN, it is designed to act as a staging area and aerial aircraft carrier for air and land dominance operations, and, because of its size, can act as a large-volume transport and bomber.

The Excalibur is a chemical laser weapon located in the Schayne Plains national park, Tauberg in South Belka. Developed in 1981 by the then, extremely strong Belkan economy as a symbol of power and as a missile defence platform. Although concerns at the location of its construction (a national park) it was discovered that the flora, fauna and wildlife all adapted to the cannon rather ironically making Schayne an area of immense scientific interest for ecological research, not for the technological achievement itself. Although rarely used before 1995, the facility was well designed and kept up-to-date with the latest technology developed by Anton Kupchenko and the the North Belkan Munitions Factory which produced almost all of Belka's potential war power. Because of the massive levels of power needed to fire the immense weapon, an underground geothermal generator, numerous solar panels and conventional power stations were positioned around the plains. Also built into the cannon were seven large cooling towers, this allowed rapid dumping of waste heat and allowed the cannon to recover to normal firing conditions in under thirty seconds, posing a threat to missiles launched in waves to avoid Excaliburs blast.
