Your six nations represent the main factions in a troubled world situation.
There has been peace on the continent for fifty years. Although, this is a time of extreme nationalism in which most countrymen support their respective governments to the fullest in foreign affairs.
In each country, major newspapers, often with government support, have been conducting a propaganda campaign against other nations. This helps fan the flames of unrest and hatred within each nation.
There has been increased intervention in the underdeveloped parts of the world by opposing factions. Both
Caldonia and
Penland have made claim to some disputed territory in the rubber rich
colonies that are located off the map.
There has been a strong rivalry between Morovia and Yorkton over the Great Forest area located on their common border. This has only worsened with the discovery of oil under the forest. Yorkton possesses 70% of the reserves with Morovia the other 30%.
Yorkton has also been involved in a dispute with Penland over control of the mouth of the Makeshift River. Yorkton currently controls the area.
Bahkan is a relatively new nation. However, there is a large population of Bahkanese living in the Morovian province of Almanar.
There is a small nationalistic group in Bahkan that want their government to take a more aggressive stand against the Morovian occupation of Almanar. It is suspected that this group has agents in Almanar with the goal of undermining the local government.
Caldonia has been somewhat successful in keeping out of some of the squabbles because of her geographical isolation from the neighboring states.
Penland has the most powerful army on the continent and Caldonia is the strongest naval power. It is suspected that Morovia has an expanding armaments industry.
Various nations have entered into military alliances which guarantee mutual support if war begins. Some of these are publicly known, but there are many suspected secret alliances.
Because of the fear between the various nations, generated by the uneasy peace, there has been a continual race to build military armaments.
Yorkton has constructed six massive fortresses to protect its southern border with Penland and Morovia. These fortresses are almost impossible to defeat and capture.
Sandia has been troubled by domestic unrest, and the government is not considered to be very stable. There have been reports that a large faction of unemployed workers and peasants are banding together and are planning a revolution. At this point, there is no reliable information indicating that they would be successful.
Sandia has implemented a military training program. In three years, their army will be upgraded to fair status.
Due to Morovia's central location, the recently completed continental rail network is expected to greatly expand that nation's economy.
Morovia has 1,000,000 reservists rated as poor that can be mobilized within three weeks of the country being attacked. These troops cannot leave Morovia.
