NPC Campaign Submission

NPC Country: Republic of Mazaghea NPC Location: Marzanna, in the mountains to the east/southeast of Kubaniza in currently-unclaimed territory. http://i.imgur.com/0ne6Bu0.png NPC Government: Provisional government consisting of military leaders, former government officials, influential citizens, etc. Campaign Setting: 1525 or thereabouts. Almost immediately following the end of the Winter War. Informational Links: http://wiki.eternityrpc.com/wiki/Winter_War - this link should be taken with a huge pile of salt. A lot of the information is outdated and/or subject to future changes. NPC History The Republic of Mazaghea was a former Socialist Republic of the Union of Socialist Republics (modern-day Severyane, Kubaniza, Duran, Saratov, and Nentsia). During the Winter War (1520-25), Mazaghea was split between factions loyal (at least nominally) to the Union and those who wished to join the rebellion. During the opening stages of the war, Mazaghea stayed nominally loyal to the Union, despite some sporadic guerrilla activity. However, when Union forces began to suffer massive losses in neighboring Kubaniza, a mutiny within the local army and police forces by factions sympathetic to the rebel cause resulted in Mazaghea joining the war on the side of the rebels. Mazaghea achieved its independence according to the Bukanya Accords in 1525. Mazaghea's primary wartime leader, alongside Kubaniza's Vasily Bukanko and Duran's Draco Romano, was Hatal Sovinov, the leader of the Mazaghe National Front, a Mazaghe nationalist group. Campaign Plot Following the signing of the Bukanya Accords, the newly independent Republic of Mazaghea is incredibly unstable. Hatal Sovinov's position as leader of the Mazaghe nation is not as sure as it seemed only a year before, for as Sovinov was an admired war leader, now that peace has arrived he has had trouble finding his footing. In Ochtyr 1525, only a few months after the end of the war, Abaty Shapsug, a former Communist official, through deft political maneuvering, manages to get himself appointed the chairman of the National Governing Committee (also called the National Committee), Mazaghea's provisional government. Although Shapsug denies being a communist and publicly supports Mazaghe nationalism, he is believed to have Union sympathies by Sovinov and his supporters for his actions prior to and during the Winter War. Leonid Sverbylo, a powerful khorobri (militia/paramilitary) commander of the famed horyany, the mountain men, a zealous anti-communist, offers his support to Sovinov to remove the "communist Union sympathizer," asserting that it is vital to Mazaghea's continued independence. By the end of the month, Sovinov has accepted Sverbylo's offer of support, and in Nueva, with Sovinov's help, Sverbylo sends troops across the border and straight towards the Mazaghean capital. Fights happen. Eventually , Sverbylo declares Mazaghea's annexation by Kubaniza, with the support of Vasily Bukanko and his United Khorobri Forces (the coalition of khorobri forces which was the principle Kubanizan fighting force during the Winter War). Sverbylo's justification is that he is protecting the Mazaghe and the small Kubanizan minority in Mazaghea from communist subjugation. Sovinov, a Mazaghe nationalist, does not want his outcome and feels betrayed by the Kubanizans. He joins with Shapsug and/or his supporters and fights against the Kubanizans. My desired outcome is that the Mazaghes are defeated due to the Kubanizans' superior experience and equipment, as well as the influx of reinforcements from Kubaniza itself. The Kubanizans may also be able to count on some aid from local Mazaghean Kubanizans and Mazaghe sympathizers. Potential for Other Player Involvement Although the Union (at this point consisting of Hahk, Ark, and Nents) is prevented by treaty from interfering directly in the conflict, they may decide to intervene through other means. Videjzeme may also decide to intervene, even with direct military action if they so choose.

This looks like an expansion and should be posted in the expansion thread. This NPC Campaign thread is for simply playing with NPCs, not annexing them.
