This is currently a rough draft, so bear with me.
The Socialist Republic of Zollaria
Primary Government Type: Socialist Republic
Population: 1.5 Billion and growing
Species: Primarily Canidae—Over 60% of the population, 30% is Felidae (Feline) and the last 10% are humans and other minorities.
Personal Freedoms: Many, but the government can easily take away certain freedoms as necessary
Major Industry: Weapons Manufacture and Research
Climate: Cool summers and cold winters—Relatively little year-round precipitation.
Humans: Are considered a minority and have little say in the government's policies. However, they face relatively little prejudice.
Military: Military service is compulsory, which consists of basic weapons training. It's primary focus is mainly in the Air Force followed by the Army. Soldiers are highly trained and equipped with advanced weapons and tools, increasing efficiency and decreasing casualties.
ICBMs: Yes, both Nuclear and Biological
Religion: None whatsoever, the population supports a totally secular belief system and people who follow a religion may be regarded with suspicion.
Allies: Treats all members of Furry Federation as allies, however it has tight immigration laws.
Government
Zollaria's government is really a hybrid of many government philosophies, taking what they think is most practical and useful. Their government in fact is so unique it is difficult to classify, but it has many socialist elements to it. In one way it is a Constitutional Monarchy because it has a single person as a leader. However, this person is mostly a political figurehead, taking advice from many advisors and cabinet members, yet this person has final say on all matters. But there is a Democratic edge to it all, as the leader can be removed from office swiftly and (sometimes) smoothly. There is a House of Speakers where most legislative duties are carried out, often in very open debate.
Recent Military History
Zollaria appeared to be a prosperous, medium-sized nation, which has invaded the independent nations to its south several times through out the centuries. The Zollarians were supposedly always pushed back to their original soil, but Zollaria itself had never been taken.
Federal Law Review and the Fascist Revolution
During a period of peace, Zollaria initiated a Federal Law Review, which unexpectedly crashed the economy. During the panic, the Zollaria's Home Worker's party, a fascist party, seized power and took control of the nation. The transfer of power transformed Zollaria from a democratic federation to a fascist federation, combining the judicial, executive, and legislative branches under one controlling banner.
For six years, Zollaria invested heavily in its military (this still continues to this day), creating weapons that were unrivaled. It is suspected during this time of preparation of warfare, Zollaria researched and created at least ten nuclear warheads. As well as upgrading its conventional armed forces and nuclear capability, Zollaria invested in creating large unconventional superweapons. These new superweapons, in addition to regular nuclear and a well equipped ground, sea, and air force would have made Zollaria the greatest military superpower in the world. Expecting an attack, other countries developed weapons in order to counter and someday fight the less than subtle preparations of Zollaria.
The Zollarian War (The nations mentioned are from a region I used to occupy)
When war was declared, Zollaria managed to capture and occupy vast areas of its neighbors' land. The hardest hit was the small country of Dragate, which was completely occupied. Other countries, such as Goyienko and Kubon, lost almost all of their territory within Zollarian reach. As the war progressed, Zollaria slowly lost its new territories, and opposing forces encroached on the Zollarian homeland. The huge resources of Salveorus and Apara were of paramount importance to the counteroffensive.
Soon, Zollaria had been pushed back to just south of its central mountain range, home to several Zollarian cities. In an effort to stop the Allies, Zollaria used seven of its nuclear bombs to create an impassable nuclear barrier, destroying their own cities and killing over 12,000 in the process. This act officially ended the War in the North; the remnants of the besieged South Zollarian army, taking advantage 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 Zollarians' luck quickly spoiled. , two weeks after the nuclear blasts, the guns fell silent.
A few Zollarian units refused to surrender, however. Many operations still continued against the remnant forces, until it turned out that they were not fighting for Zollaria. They had joined with units from all over the world to form a terrorist group that intended to unify the world into a single nation. However, the Allies were able to neutralize the group.
