The Eternal Republic of Barentsburg (Greek: Αιώνια Δημοκρατία Βαρεντσβυργ; Russian: Вечная республика Баренцбург; French: République éternelle de Barentsburg) is a post-modern nation of nearly two billion people, located in the North Pacific region of Haven. Barentsburg has land frontiers with Corrheia, Ancient and Holy Terra, and with Agrigento and East Islandia (TPDI).

History

Allanea-UnAPS War

Main article: Allanea-UnAPS War

As a response to the Allanean invasion of Axackal, the Eternal Republic was forced to defend it's ally Edolia, resulting in a declaration of war against Allanea. The war was fought on multiple fronts, including -The Prophet-, where the force of 80'000 Barentese soldiers took heavy losses in the massive Allanean attacks, eventually forcing them to retreat and letting -The Prophet- slide to Allanean hands.

Following the loss of nearly 40'000 lives in the battles of -The Prophet-, serious reformations were made in the command structure and doctrines of the Barentese Defence Forces.
