'''SPACOM''' (''Security and Precision Aerospace Systems Conglomerate'') is a [[Larrea|Larrean]] Aerospace and Defense manufacturer, being the primary contractor of the Larrean Armed Forces, headquartered in the capital '''New Forsetia'''. It was the largest defense contractor in the [[Baskay-Caledon|Baskay]] region by fiscal revenue in 2208. The company was created in 2161, in the city of [[Delras|Dresa]] after a merger of local automotive companies. The corporation started gaining serious traction during the civil war, when their manufacturing facilities formerly used for building cars got used to repair, refurbish and upgrade military aircraft by factions controlling Dresa. After the civil war SPACOM started heavily persuing formal military contracts using their newfound experience, and have become an integral part of the Larrean Military Industrial Complex. The company has expanded beyond just domestic production, as an imperial branch of SPACOM has been headquartered in [[Laveska]] together with a facility in [[Ikonia]]. The company also owns [[Austral Aerospace]] and [[Mureșean-Zochescu]].

== Structure ==
SPACOM is split into several subsidiaries, both foreign and domestic. The main entity managing the entire conglomerate and its subsidiaries is '''SPACOM Global'''. Domestically, SPACOM Larrea has a branch for every province except South Forsetti. The company also has a dedicated branch in New Forsetia. Every branch is responsible for different products and services. The New Forsetia branch is the only one primarily doing intelligence / information security and service, aside from company management due to it being the global headquarters, while the other branches do manufacturing. Abroad, SPACOM facilities are managed by the International branch, which has a headquarters in Laveska as part of a partnership with the Imperial Federation known as Imperial SPACOM. The international branch also has a factory located in Ikonia, bolstering the rising local economy. Aside from internal branches and divisions, the company also currently owns two subsidiary companies in the form of Austral and MuZ, both headquartered in Larrea. SPACOM Global is chaired by [[Pepe "Pipo" Palladino]].

The company structure is as follows;

* '''''SPACOM Global'''''
** ''SPACOM International''
*** SPACOM Laveska (Imperial SPACOM)
*** SPACOM Ikonia
** ''SPACOM Larrea''
*** SPACOM Delras
*** SPACOM New Forsetia

=== Z-series aircraft ===

==== Z-80EL ====
SPACOM got most of its starting experience in the aerospace industry during the Forsetti civil war. Many foreign nations and formerly sovereign territories within the peninsula fielded their existing fighters during the conflict. SPACOM, having their largest facility in the heavily fought over city of Dresa, used their automotive plant as a staging ground for repairing and rearming fighter aircraft during the war. Unionist, Caliphate, Private and Communist forces all at one point had control of the city, all making use of the facility. It was within that factory that the first unofficial domestic aircraft models were made, as simple modifications of captured foreign fighters. After the war, the Larrean Air Force together with SPACOM formally requested [[Cyten-Ward Industries|Cyten-Ward]] to develop a modified [[Z-80 Fox|Z-80E Fox]] that had the same characteristics of the civil war models. Thus the '''Z-80EL''' was developed in 2180, license built by SPACOM. Old SL-18 and Z-80 models left over from the war were rebuilt and modified into Z-80EL's, leaving the Larrean Air Force with a formidable arsenal.
==== Z-90L ====
The '''Z-90L''', a modification of the [[Z-90 Crusader|Z-90-II Crusader]], has a similar story. After the war Cyten-Ward made the export model for the Larrean Air Force and later gave the license to SPACOM. The Z-90L was more extensively modified than the Z-80E to fit the air force's doctrine, as well as to upgrade it to modern specifications.
=== SF-series aircraft ===
==== SF-1 (A) ====
The SF-series of aircraft were the first fully domestic fighters, designed and built entirely within the republic. The '''SF-1''' '''Ghost''' air superiority fighter was the first to have been made, as a result of the air force's [[Advanced Domestic Fighter Aircraft Program]] ('''ADFAP''') during spring 2180. ADFAP's main goal was to pioneer advanced avionics, materials and manufacturing techniques for future aircraft while also serving as a symbolic gesture of Larrea's burgeoning independent military. SPACOM's expertise in cost-effective design and manufacturing secured them the contract, even though their design bid performed suboptimal compared to other proposals that were tested. The SF-1 was what became the production model, bearing a surface level appearance to certain foreign stealth fighter designs. Due to rapid technological development, budget cuts, delays and internal politics, it was decided that the SF-1 program (having only had 2 models produced, them being the prototype and the only production model SF-1A) would be cancelled in favour of older cheaper aircraft and future replacements at the end of 2183. Under mysterious circumstances, SPACOM were yet again chosen as the manufacturer for the next models even though no competitive program was set up. Due to the mysterious canning of the SF-1, many believe SPACOM were trying to blackmail the air force into signing a more lucrative deal which would guarantee them being the chosen contractors for future aircraft. Another popular belief is that the entire ADFAP program was a ploy to cover up how the air force suddenly gained stealth technology, based on the fact that the few pictures that did exist of the SF-1 looked exceedingly similar to the aforementioned foreign designs. The SF-1 has become a pop culture icon among the populace, being seen as a symbol of government corruption.

==== SF-2 (A and B) ====
[[File:Propaganda.png|thumb|288x288px|''SF-2B poster made by SPACOM.'']]
In early 2184 the air force tactical operations command demanded that a new aircraft be made to fill the niche of the Z-90L, while also succeeding where the SF-1 program failed. This [[Tactical Air Defence and Strike Aircraft]] ('''TADSA''') as it became known was immidately contracted to SPACOM, with the end result being the '''SF-2 Griffin''' multirole fighter. The Griffin was essentially a stealth makeover of the old Crusader, carrying more payload and having a higher top speed. What was ditched however was the iconic 30 mm rotary cannon of the original, since that was deemed unnecessary in its intended role The first airframe flew in 2186, and the first model entered service in 2187. Two models have been made, the SF-2A had minimal production numbers due to a key error that was found when it was first put into service. The SF-2B was quickly made as a comprehensive improvement of the A-model, with advancements in avionics and radar systems, as well as a heavier focus on ground strike capabilities. The B-model has been in active service since 2188. A proposal was made for a C-model which would focus on improved electronic warfare capabilities but as of 2200 no further developments on this have been made.

Around the same time as the SF-2A model was created, a dedicated Electronic Warfare version of the griffin was proposed. This came about after shortfalls were found with the existing modified Z-90L's and XXX capabilities regarding SEAD operations. In 2190, the '''EF-2B Grizzly''' was officially adopted into active service. Though the air-frame was largely kept the same, the Grizzly had a reduced internal weapons bay volume due to the large amount of EW hardware within the fuselage. On the bottom of the fuselage multiple protruding sensor suites were added, as well as a large integrated jamming pod. External Jamming pods could also be mounted, though these would increase the radar signature of the Grizzly. <gallery widths="300" heights="180">

==== SF-3 (A, B and C) ====
[[File:SF-3.png|thumb|286x286px|''SF-3 prototype (c-model) spotted near site 15'']]
Due to rising tensions at the very end of the 22nd century acting president Montano deemed it necessary to increase military spending and invest in force-multiplying-technologies. All branches of the armed forces started major changes. The air force was urged to restructure and update some antiquated systems, a key focus being air superiority. The Z-80EL was deemed to not have a big enough edge over near peer adversaries as was thought, so talks were made to start yet another advanced fighter program to start phasing out the now nearly century old Fox. A focus was also made on growing less dependent on foreign technologies. Thus another advanced fighter program was started, aimed to develop a true 6th generation aircraft. In an act that now is seen as visionairy, SPACOM was absolved of their guaranteed contract and made to compete with other manufacturers for the first time in 20 years. The [[Next Generation Universal Airframe Program]] ('''NGUAP''') was started in 2198, with the goal of creating a universal fighter aircraft family capable of air superiority, strike/bombing, naval and electronic warfare abilities while being classified as a 6th generation airframe. All variants were not required to be strictly identical, but all are urged to use common parts to streamline and lower maintenance costs. To get awarded the full contract it was mandatory to design airframes for a naval multirole fighter, air superiority fighter and strategic light bomber which all share common parts. Individual designs, if exemplary, could be considered and with cooperation could be conglomerated into universal ones.

SPACOM provided their bid, the XFAB. A radical departure from earlier designs, it performed exemplary in the areas of air superiority and naval operations without major changes to the airframe. In terms of bombing capabilities, further modifications would be needed such as a higher flight ceiling and increased range. SPACOM managed to win the contract, edging out other competitors without foul play or politics. The designation of '''SF-3 Cerberus''' was given. The variants pertaining to each function are the SF-3A, SF-3B and SF-3C for the air superiority, strike bombing and naval variants respectively. The SF-3A and C are the most similar, having roughly the same air-frame with modifications pertaining to their respective service branches. The C-model has a reinforced frame and landing gear, together with a tailhook and folding wings as well as minor changes to air combat capabilities together with some models featuring a tandem cockpit. The B-model has more substantial modifications, exclusively featuring a tandem cockpit, extended range, increased payload capacity, modified engines and reduced air-to-air capabilities. <gallery widths="300" heights="180">

=== UCAV craft ===

==== LQ-1 (KQ-1) ====
[[File:LQ-1.png|thumb|''LQ-1 Aquila flying in the baskay.'' ]]
'''The LQ-1 Aquila''' was the first mass-produced unmanned combat aerial vehicle produced by SPACOM. Featuring a flying-wing design with stealth elements, the Aquila was designed from the ground up for carrier operations. The first prototype flew in 2205, and variants were exported abroad starting two years after. A tanker version was also designed, which is now in service with the UIF and [[Imperial Union]]. Operators of the aquila family include [[Sarconia]], the UIF, and the IU.

=== Collaborative Projects ===
SPACOM has also collaborated with other companies for designs. Notably is their long-standing relationship with [[Ikai-Marion Heavy Industries|Ikai-marion]], with whom they have made many vehicles, ranging from small surface vessels to the [[New Forsetia class destroyer]] and [[Virgo class orbital corvette]]. They have also worked together with foreign companies, such as the [[Ikonia|Ikonic]] firm [[Hẽgemex]] on the collaborative JF-4 fighter.

'''SPACOM Austral Aerospace ltd''', also known as '''Austral''', is [[Larrea|Larrean]] aerospace and defence manufacturer, headquartered in the city of Gralenberg. Founded in 2190, the company started out manufacturing small drones and UAV's, mainly quadcopters and other rotorcraft. This expertise would help the company find their niche in the defense industry, primarily manufacturing helicopters and VTOL aircraft. This success was part of why [[SPACOM]] acquired the company in 2195, now formally part of the rapidly growing conglomerate. Functionally Austral remains independent in their endeavours, mostly avoiding conflict with the parent company.

==== LV-300 ====
The '''LV-300 Ajax''' is the largest among the standard LV series aircraft. It features four tilting rotors, in a tandem wing configuration. It has an opening cargo bay door in the rear, allowing it to quickly unload a variety of payloads, be they simple logistical loads or live deployments of armoured vehicles. It has a maximum takeoff mass of 300 tons, with higher loads being possible with specific models. It has a maximum speed of 120 m/s. The aircraft was developed out of a necessity for large high-capacity transports which could be fielded on any airfield or ship. The Ajax was accepted into Larrean service in 2195, initially for use by the army to transport heavy loads such as tanks. Over the years a few different variants have been developed out of the baseline model, among which are a navy version and a ground attack variant.
==== LV-700 ====
[[File:LV-700.png|thumb|375x375px|''LV-700 Super Ajax'']]
The '''LV-700 Super Ajax''' is a specialized variant of the normal Ajax, but it features four improved [[Mureșean-Zochescu]] counter rotating turboprops, giving it a colossal maximum takeoff mass of 700 tons. Just like the regular Ajax, it features multi-role capabilities such as external pylons for mounting sensors and ordinance to, as well as airdrop capability. The increased takeoff mass does sacrifice range and some maneuverability, but the Super Ajax can hit a top speed of 125 m/s. The development of the LV-700 ran parallel to the 300, as Austral expected a demand for an even heavier lifter. This was initially heavily lobbied against by higherups in SPACOM, but after preorders for the Super Ajax started coming in from the Larrean and foreign militaries these voices were put to rest. The Super Ajax passed trials in 2196, and it alongside the Ajax saw service in [[Operation Concordia]].

'''SPACOM''' (''Security and Precision Aerospace Systems Conglomerate'') is a [[Larrea|Larrean]] Aerospace and Defense manufacturer, being the primary contractor of the Larrean Armed Forces, headquartered in the capital '''New Forsetia'''. It was the largest defense contractor in the [[Baskay-Caledon|Baskay]] region by fiscal revenue in 2208. The company was created in 2161, in the city of [[Delras|Dresa]] after a merger of local automotive companies. The corporation started gaining serious traction during the civil war, when their manufacturing facilities formerly used for building cars got used to repair, refurbish and upgrade military aircraft by factions controlling Dresa. After the civil war SPACOM started heavily persuing formal military contracts using their newfound experience, and have become an integral part of the Larrean Military Industrial Complex. The company has expanded beyond just domestic production, as an imperial branch of SPACOM has been headquartered in [[Laveska]] together with a facility in [[Ikonia]]. The company also owns [[Austral Aerospace]] and [[Mureșean-Zochescu]].

== Structure ==
SPACOM is split into several subsidiaries, both foreign and domestic. The main entity managing the entire conglomerate and its subsidiaries is '''SPACOM Global'''. Domestically, SPACOM Larrea has a branch for every province except South Forsetti. The company also has a dedicated branch in New Forsetia. Every branch is responsible for different products and services. The New Forsetia branch is the only one primarily doing intelligence / information security and service, aside from company management due to it being the global headquarters, while the other branches do manufacturing. Abroad, SPACOM facilities are managed by the International branch, which has a headquarters in Laveska as part of a partnership with the Imperial Federation known as Imperial SPACOM. The international branch also has a factory located in Ikonia, bolstering the rising local economy. Aside from internal branches and divisions, the company also currently owns two subsidiary companies in the form of Austral and MuZ, both headquartered in Larrea. SPACOM Global is chaired by [[Pepe "Pipo" Palladino]].

The company structure is as follows;

=== Z-series aircraft ===

==== Z-80EL ====
SPACOM got most of its starting experience in the aerospace industry during the Forsetti civil war. Many foreign nations and formerly sovereign territories within the peninsula fielded their existing fighters during the conflict. SPACOM, having their largest facility in the heavily fought over city of Dresa, used their automotive plant as a staging ground for repairing and rearming fighter aircraft during the war. Unionist, Caliphate, Private and Communist forces all at one point had control of the city, all making use of the facility. It was within that factory that the first unofficial domestic aircraft models were made, as simple modifications of captured foreign fighters. After the war, the Larrean Air Force together with SPACOM formally requested [[Cyten-Ward Industries|Cyten-Ward]] to develop a modified [[Z-80 Fox|Z-80E Fox]] that had the same characteristics of the civil war models. Thus the '''Z-80EL''' was developed in 2180, license built by SPACOM. Old SL-18 and Z-80 models left over from the war were rebuilt and modified into Z-80EL's, leaving the Larrean Air Force with a formidable arsenal.
==== Z-90L ====
The '''Z-90L''', a modification of the [[Z-90 Crusader|Z-90-II Crusader]], has a similar story. After the war Cyten-Ward made the export model for the Larrean Air Force and later gave the license to SPACOM. The Z-90L was more extensively modified than the Z-80E to fit the air force's doctrine, as well as to upgrade it to modern specifications.
=== SF-series aircraft ===
==== SF-1 (A) ====
The SF-series of aircraft were the first fully domestic fighters, designed and built entirely within the republic. The '''SF-1''' '''Ghost''' air superiority fighter was the first to have been made, as a result of the air force's [[Advanced Domestic Fighter Aircraft Program]] ('''ADFAP''') during spring 2180. ADFAP's main goal was to pioneer advanced avionics, materials and manufacturing techniques for future aircraft while also serving as a symbolic gesture of Larrea's burgeoning independent military. SPACOM's expertise in cost-effective design and manufacturing secured them the contract, even though their design bid performed suboptimal compared to other proposals that were tested. The SF-1 was what became the production model, bearing a surface level appearance to certain foreign stealth fighter designs. Due to rapid technological development, budget cuts, delays and internal politics, it was decided that the SF-1 program (having only had 2 models produced, them being the prototype and the only production model SF-1A) would be cancelled in favour of older cheaper aircraft and future replacements at the end of 2183. Under mysterious circumstances, SPACOM were yet again chosen as the manufacturer for the next models even though no competitive program was set up. Due to the mysterious canning of the SF-1, many believe SPACOM were trying to blackmail the air force into signing a more lucrative deal which would guarantee them being the chosen contractors for future aircraft. Another popular belief is that the entire ADFAP program was a ploy to cover up how the air force suddenly gained stealth technology, based on the fact that the few pictures that did exist of the SF-1 looked exceedingly similar to the aforementioned foreign designs. The SF-1 has become a pop culture icon among the populace, being seen as a symbol of government corruption.

==== SF-2 (A and B) ====
[[File:Propaganda.png|thumb|288x288px|''SF-2B poster made by SPACOM.'']]
In early 2184 the air force tactical operations command demanded that a new aircraft be made to fill the niche of the Z-90L, while also succeeding where the SF-1 program failed. This [[Tactical Air Defence and Strike Aircraft]] ('''TADSA''') as it became known was immidately contracted to SPACOM, with the end result being the '''SF-2 Griffin''' multirole fighter. The Griffin was essentially a stealth makeover of the old Crusader, carrying more payload and having a higher top speed. What was ditched however was the iconic 30 mm rotary cannon of the original, since that was deemed unnecessary in its intended role The first airframe flew in 2186, and the first model entered service in 2187. Two models have been made, the SF-2A had minimal production numbers due to a key error that was found when it was first put into service. The SF-2B was quickly made as a comprehensive improvement of the A-model, with advancements in avionics and radar systems, as well as a heavier focus on ground strike capabilities. The B-model has been in active service since 2188. A proposal was made for a C-model which would focus on improved electronic warfare capabilities but as of 2200 no further developments on this have been made.

Around the same time as the SF-2A model was created, a dedicated Electronic Warfare version of the griffin was proposed. This came about after shortfalls were found with the existing modified Z-90L's and XXX capabilities regarding SEAD operations. In 2190, the '''EF-2B Grizzly''' was officially adopted into active service. Though the air-frame was largely kept the same, the Grizzly had a reduced internal weapons bay volume due to the large amount of EW hardware within the fuselage. On the bottom of the fuselage multiple protruding sensor suites were added, as well as a large integrated jamming pod. External Jamming pods could also be mounted, though these would increase the radar signature of the Grizzly. <gallery widths="300" heights="180">

==== SF-3 (A, B and C) ====
[[File:SF-3.png|thumb|286x286px|''SF-3 prototype (c-model) spotted near site 15'']]
Due to rising tensions at the very end of the 22nd century acting president Montano deemed it necessary to increase military spending and invest in force-multiplying-technologies. All branches of the armed forces started major changes. The air force was urged to restructure and update some antiquated systems, a key focus being air superiority. The Z-80EL was deemed to not have a big enough edge over near peer adversaries as was thought, so talks were made to start yet another advanced fighter program to start phasing out the now nearly century old Fox. A focus was also made on growing less dependent on foreign technologies. Thus another advanced fighter program was started, aimed to develop a true 6th generation aircraft. In an act that now is seen as visionairy, SPACOM was absolved of their guaranteed contract and made to compete with other manufacturers for the first time in 20 years. The [[Next Generation Universal Airframe Program]] ('''NGUAP''') was started in 2198, with the goal of creating a universal fighter aircraft family capable of air superiority, strike/bombing, naval and electronic warfare abilities while being classified as a 6th generation airframe. All variants were not required to be strictly identical, but all are urged to use common parts to streamline and lower maintenance costs. To get awarded the full contract it was mandatory to design airframes for a naval multirole fighter, air superiority fighter and strategic light bomber which all share common parts. Individual designs, if exemplary, could be considered and with cooperation could be conglomerated into universal ones.

SPACOM provided their bid, the XFAB. A radical departure from earlier designs, it performed exemplary in the areas of air superiority and naval operations without major changes to the airframe. In terms of bombing capabilities, further modifications would be needed such as a higher flight ceiling and increased range. SPACOM managed to win the contract, edging out other competitors without foul play or politics. The designation of '''SF-3 Cerberus''' was given. The variants pertaining to each function are the SF-3A, SF-3B and SF-3C for the air superiority, strike bombing and naval variants respectively. The SF-3A and C are the most similar, having roughly the same air-frame with modifications pertaining to their respective service branches. The C-model has a reinforced frame and landing gear, together with a tailhook and folding wings as well as minor changes to air combat capabilities together with some models featuring a tandem cockpit. The B-model has more substantial modifications, exclusively featuring a tandem cockpit, extended range, increased payload capacity, modified engines and reduced air-to-air capabilities. <gallery widths="300" heights="180">

==== LQ-1 (KQ-1) ====
[[File:LQ-1.png|thumb|''LQ-1 Aquila flying in the baskay.'' ]]
'''The LQ-1 Aquila''' was the first mass-produced unmanned combat aerial vehicle produced by SPACOM. Featuring a flying-wing design with stealth elements, the Aquila was designed from the ground up for carrier operations. The first prototype flew in 2205, and variants were exported abroad starting two years after. A tanker version was also designed, which is now in service with the UIF and [[Imperial Union]]. Operators of the aquila family include [[Sarconia]], the UIF, and the IU.

=== Collaborative Projects ===
SPACOM has also collaborated with other companies for designs. Notably is their long-standing relationship with [[Ikai-Marion Heavy Industries|Ikai-marion]], with whom they have made many vehicles, ranging from small surface vessels to the [[New Forsetia class destroyer]] and [[Virgo class orbital corvette]]. They have also worked together with foreign companies, such as the [[Ikonia|Ikonic]] firm [[Hẽgemex]].

'''SPACOM Austral Aerospace ltd''', also known as '''Austral''', is [[Larrea|Larrean]] aerospace and defence manufacturer, headquartered in the city of Gralenberg. Founded in 2190, the company started out manufacturing small drones and UAV's, mainly quadcopters and other rotorcraft. This expertise would help the company find their niche in the defense industry, primarily manufacturing helicopters and VTOL aircraft. This success was part of why [[SPACOM]] acquired the company in 2195, now formally part of the rapidly growing conglomerate. Functionally Austral remains independent in their endeavours, mostly avoiding conflict with the parent company.

==== LV-300 ====
The '''LV-300 Ajax''' is the largest among the standard LV series aircraft. It features four tilting rotors, in a tandem wing configuration. It has an opening cargo bay door in the rear, allowing it to quickly unload a variety of payloads, be they simple logistical loads or live deployments of armoured vehicles. It has a maximum takeoff mass of 300 tons, with higher loads being possible with specific models. It has a maximum speed of 120 m/s. The aircraft was developed out of a necessity for large high-capacity transports which could be fielded on any airfield or ship. The Ajax was accepted into Larrean service in 2195, initially for use by the army to transport heavy loads such as tanks. Over the years a few different variants have been developed out of the baseline model, among which are a navy version and a ground attack variant.
==== LV-700 ====
[[File:LV-700.png|thumb|375x375px|LV-700 Super Ajax, in Larrean navy service]]
The '''LV-700 Super Ajax''' is a specialized variant of the normal Ajax, but it features four improved [[Mureșean-Zochescu]] counter rotating turboprops, giving it a colossal maximum takeoff mass of 700 tons. Just like the regular Ajax, it features multi-role capabilities such as external pylons for mounting sensors and ordinance to, as well as airdrop capability. The increased takeoff mass does sacrifice range and some maneuverability, but the Super Ajax can hit a top speed of 125 m/s. The development of the LV-700 ran parallel to the 300, as Austral expected a demand for an even heavier lifter. This was initially heavily lobbied against by higherups in SPACOM, but after preorders for the Super Ajax started coming in from the Larrean and foreign militaries these voices were put to rest. The Super Ajax passed trials in 2196, and it alongside the Ajax saw service in [[Operation Concordia]].

Old SL-18 and Z-80 models left over from the war were rebuilt and modified into Z-80EL's, leaving the Larrean Air Force with a formidable arsenal.
==== Z-90L ====
The '''Z-90L''', a modification of the [[Z-90 Crusader|Z-90-II Crusader]], has a similar story. After the war Cyten-Ward made the export model for the Larrean Air Force and later gave the license to SPACOM. The Z-90L was more extensively modified than the Z-80E to fit the air force's doctrine, as well as to upgrade it to modern specifications.
=== SF-series aircraft ===
==== SF-1 (A) ====
The SF-series of aircraft were the first fully domestic fighters, designed and built entirely within the republic. The '''SF-1''' '''Ghost''' air superiority fighter was the first to have been made, as a result of the air force's [[Advanced Domestic Fighter Aircraft Program]] ('''ADFAP''') during spring 2180. ADFAP's main goal was to pioneer advanced avionics, materials and manufacturing techniques for future aircraft while also serving as a symbolic gesture of Larrea's burgeoning independent military. SPACOM's expertise in cost-effective design and manufacturing secured them the contract, even though their design bid performed suboptimal compared to other proposals that were tested. The SF-1 was what became the production model, bearing a surface level appearance to certain foreign stealth fighter designs. Due to rapid technological development, budget cuts, delays and internal politics, it was decided that the SF-1 program (having only had 2 models produced, them being the prototype and the only production model SF-1A) would be cancelled in favour of older cheaper aircraft and future replacements at the end of 2183. Under mysterious circumstances, SPACOM were yet again chosen as the manufacturer for the next models even though no competitive program was set up. Due to the mysterious canning of the SF-1, many believe SPACOM were trying to blackmail the air force into signing a more lucrative deal which would guarantee them being the chosen contractors for future aircraft. Another popular belief is that the entire ADFAP program was a ploy to cover up how the air force suddenly gained stealth technology, based on the fact that the few pictures that did exist of the SF-1 looked exceedingly similar to the aforementioned foreign designs. The SF-1 has become a pop culture icon among the populace, being seen as a symbol of government corruption.

==== SF-2 (A and B) ====
[[File:Propaganda.png|thumb|288x288px|''SF-2B poster made by SPACOM.'']]
In early 2184 the air force tactical operations command demanded that a new aircraft be made to fill the niche of the Z-90L, while also succeeding where the SF-1 program failed. This [[Tactical Air Defence and Strike Aircraft]] ('''TADSA''') as it became known was immidately contracted to SPACOM, with the end result being the '''SF-2 Griffin''' multirole fighter. The Griffin was essentially a stealth makeover of the old Crusader, carrying more payload and having a higher top speed. What was ditched however was the iconic 30 mm rotary cannon of the original, since that was deemed unnecessary in its intended role The first airframe flew in 2186, and the first model entered service in 2187. Two models have been made, the SF-2A had minimal production numbers due to a key error that was found when it was first put into service. The SF-2B was quickly made as a comprehensive improvement of the A-model, with advancements in avionics and radar systems, as well as a heavier focus on ground strike capabilities. The B-model has been in active service since 2188. A proposal was made for a C-model which would focus on improved electronic warfare capabilities but as of 2200 no further developments on this have been made.

Around the same time as the SF-2A model was created, a dedicated Electronic Warfare version of the griffin was proposed. This came about after shortfalls were found with the existing modified Z-90L's and XXX capabilities regarding SEAD operations. In 2190, the '''EF-2B Grizzly''' was officially adopted into active service. Though the air-frame was largely kept the same, the Grizzly had a reduced internal weapons bay volume due to the large amount of EW hardware within the fuselage. On the bottom of the fuselage multiple protruding sensor suites were added, as well as a large integrated jamming pod. External Jamming pods could also be mounted, though these would increase the radar signature of the Grizzly. <gallery widths="300" heights="180">

==== SF-3 (A, B and C) ====
[[File:SF-3.png|thumb|286x286px|''SF-3C spotted near site 15'']]
Due to rising tensions at the very end of the 22nd century acting president Montano deemed it necessary to increase military spending and invest in force-multiplying-technologies. All branches of the armed forces started major changes. The air force was urged to restructure and update some antiquated systems, a key focus being air superiority. The Z-80EL was deemed to not have a big enough edge over near peer adversaries as was thought, so talks were made to start yet another advanced fighter program to start phasing out the now nearly century old Fox. A focus was also made on growing less dependent on foreign technologies. Thus another advanced fighter program was started, aimed to develop a true 6th generation aircraft. In an act that now is seen as visionairy, SPACOM was absolved of their guaranteed contract and made to compete with other manufacturers for the first time in 20 years. The [[Next Generation Universal Airframe Program]] ('''NGUAP''') was started in 2198, with the goal of creating a universal fighter aircraft family capable of air superiority, strike/bombing, naval and electronic warfare abilities while being classified as a 6th generation airframe. All variants were not required to be strictly identical, but all are urged to use common parts to streamline and lower maintenance costs. To get awarded the full contract it was mandatory to design airframes for a naval multirole fighter, air superiority fighter and strategic light bomber which all share common parts. Individual designs, if exemplary, could be considered and with cooperation could be conglomerated into universal ones.

SPACOM provided their bid, the XFAB. A radical departure from earlier designs, it performed exemplary in the areas of air superiority and naval operations without major changes to the airframe. In terms of bombing capabilities, further modifications would be needed such as a higher flight ceiling and increased range. SPACOM managed to win the contract, edging out other competitors without foul play or politics. The designation of '''SF-3 Cerberus''' was given. The variants pertaining to each function are the SF-3A, SF-3B and SF-3C for the air superiority, strike bombing and naval variants respectively. The SF-3A and C are the most similar, having roughly the same air-frame with modifications pertaining to their respective service branches. The C-model has a reinforced frame and landing gear, together with a tailhook and folding wings as well as minor changes to air combat capabilities together with some models featuring a tandem cockpit. The B-model has more substantial modifications, exclusively featuring a tandem cockpit, extended range, increased payload capacity, modified engines and reduced air-to-air capabilities.

'''SPACOM''' (''Security and Precision Aerospace Systems Conglomerate'') is a [[Larrea|Larrean]] Aerospace and Defense manufacturer, being the primary contractor of the Larrean Armed Forces, headquartered in the capital '''New Forsetia'''. It was the largest defense contractor in the [[Baskay-Caledon|Baskay]] region by fiscal revenue in 2208. The company was created in 2161, in the city of [[Delras|Dresa]] after a merger of local automotive companies. The corporation started gaining serious traction during the civil war, when their manufacturing facilities formerly used for building cars got used to repair, refurbish and upgrade military aircraft by factions controlling Dresa. After the civil war SPACOM started heavily persuing formal military contracts using their newfound experience, and have become an integral part of the Larrean Military Industrial Complex. The company has expanded beyond just domestic production, as an imperial branch of SPACOM has been headquartered in [[Laveska]] together with a facility in [[Ikonia]]. The company also owns [[Austral Aerospace]] and [[Mureșean-Zochescu]].

== Structure ==
SPACOM is split into several subsidiaries, both foreign and domestic. The main entity managing the entire conglomerate and its subsidiaries is '''SPACOM Global'''. Domestically, SPACOM Larrea has a branch for every province except South Forsetti. The company also has a dedicated branch in New Forsetia. Every branch is responsible for different products and services. The New Forsetia branch is the only one primarily doing intelligence / information security and service, aside from company management due to it being the global headquarters, while the other branches do manufacturing. Abroad, SPACOM facilities are managed by the International branch, which has a headquarters in Laveska as part of a partnership with the Imperial Federation known as Imperial SPACOM. The international branch also has a factory located in Ikonia, bolstering the rising local economy. SPACOM Global is chaired by [[Pepe "Pipo" Palladino]].

The company structure is as follows;

=== Z-series aircraft ===

==== Z-80EL ====
SPACOM got most of its starting experience in the aerospace industry during the Forsetti civil war. Many foreign nations and formerly sovereign territories within the peninsula fielded their existing fighters during the conflict. SPACOM, having their largest facility in the heavily fought over city of Dresa, used their automotive plant as a staging ground for repairing and rearming fighter aircraft during the war. Unionist, Caliphate, Private and Communist forces all at one point had control of the city, all making use of the facility. It was within that factory that the first unofficial domestic aircraft models were made, as simple modifications of captured foreign fighters. After the war, the Larrean Air Force together with SPACOM formally requested [[Cyten-Ward Industries|Cyten-Ward]] to develop a modified [[Z-80 Fox|Z-80E Fox]] that had the same characteristics of the civil war models.

The corporation started gaining serious traction during the civil war, when their manufacturing facilities formerly used for building cars got used to repair, refurbish and upgrade military aircraft by factions controlling Dresa. After the civil war SPACOM started heavily persuing formal military contracts using their newfound experience, and have become an integral part of the Larrean Military Industrial Complex. The company has expanded beyond just domestic production, as an imperial branch of SPACOM has been headquartered in [[Laveska]]. The company also owns [[Austral Aerospace]] and [[Mureșean-Zochescu]].

=== Z-series aircraft ===

==== Z-80EL ====
SPACOM got most of its starting experience in the aerospace industry during the Forsetti civil war. Many foreign nations and formerly sovereign territories within the peninsula fielded their existing fighters during the conflict. SPACOM, having their largest facility in the heavily fought over city of Dresa, used their automotive plant as a staging ground for repairing and rearming fighter aircraft during the war. Unionist, Caliphate, Private and Communist forces all at one point had control of the city, all making use of the facility. It was within that factory that the first unofficial domestic aircraft models were made, as simple modifications of captured foreign fighters. After the war, the Larrean Air Force together with SPACOM formally requested [[Cyten-Ward Industries|Cyten-Ward]] to develop a modified [[Z-80 Fox|Z-80E Fox]] that had the same characteristics of the civil war models. Thus the '''Z-80EL''' was developed in 2180, license built by SPACOM. Old SL-18 and Z-80 models left over from the war were rebuilt and modified into Z-80EL's, leaving the Larrean Air Force with a formidable arsenal.
==== Z-90L ====
The '''Z-90L''', a modification of the [[Z-90 Crusader|Z-90-II Crusader]], has a similar story. After the war Cyten-Ward made the export model for the Larrean Air Force and later gave the license to SPACOM. The Z-90L was more extensively modified than the Z-80E to fit the air force's doctrine, as well as to upgrade it to modern specifications.
=== SF-series aircraft ===
==== SF-1 (A) ====
The SF-series of aircraft were the first fully domestic fighters, designed and built entirely within the republic. The '''SF-1''' '''Ghost''' air superiority fighter was the first to have been made, as a result of the air force's [[Advanced Domestic Fighter Aircraft Program]] ('''ADFAP''') during spring 2180. ADFAP's main goal was to pioneer advanced avionics, materials and manufacturing techniques for future aircraft while also serving as a symbolic gesture of Larrea's burgeoning independent military. SPACOM's expertise in cost-effective design and manufacturing secured them the contract, even though their design bid performed suboptimal compared to other proposals that were tested. The SF-1 was what became the production model, bearing a surface level appearance to certain foreign stealth fighter designs. Due to rapid technological development, budget cuts, delays and internal politics, it was decided that the SF-1 program (having only had 2 models produced, them being the prototype and the only production model SF-1A) would be cancelled in favour of older cheaper aircraft and future replacements at the end of 2183. Under mysterious circumstances, SPACOM were yet again chosen as the manufacturer for the next models even though no competitive program was set up. Due to the mysterious canning of the SF-1, many believe SPACOM were trying to blackmail the air force into signing a more lucrative deal which would guarantee them being the chosen contractors for future aircraft. Another popular belief is that the entire ADFAP program was a ploy to cover up how the air force suddenly gained stealth technology, based on the fact that the few pictures that did exist of the SF-1 looked exceedingly similar to the aforementioned foreign designs. The SF-1 has become a pop culture icon among the populace, being seen as a symbol of government corruption.

==== SF-2 (A and B) ====
[[File:Propaganda.png|thumb|288x288px|''SF-2B poster made by SPACOM.'']]
In early 2184 the air force tactical operations command demanded that a new aircraft be made to fill the niche of the Z-90L, while also succeeding where the SF-1 program failed. This [[Tactical Air Defence and Strike Aircraft]] ('''TADSA''') as it became known was immidately contracted to SPACOM, with the end result being the '''SF-2 Griffin''' multirole fighter. The Griffin was essentially a stealth makeover of the old Crusader, carrying more payload and having a higher top speed. What was ditched however was the iconic 30 mm rotary cannon of the original, since that was deemed unnecessary in its intended role The first airframe flew in 2186, and the first model entered service in 2187. Two models have been made, the SF-2A had minimal production numbers due to a key error that was found when it was first put into service. The SF-2B was quickly made as a comprehensive improvement of the A-model, with advancements in avionics and radar systems, as well as a heavier focus on ground strike capabilities. The B-model has been in active service since 2188. A proposal was made for a C-model which would focus on improved electronic warfare capabilities but as of 2200 no further developments on this have been made.

Around the same time as the SF-2A model was created, a dedicated Electronic Warfare version of the griffin was proposed. This came about after shortfalls were found with the existing modified Z-90L's and XXX capabilities regarding SEAD operations. In 2190, the '''EF-2B Grizzly''' was officially adopted into active service. Though the air-frame was largely kept the same, the Grizzly had a reduced internal weapons bay volume due to the large amount of EW hardware within the fuselage. On the bottom of the fuselage multiple protruding sensor suites were added, as well as a large integrated jamming pod. External Jamming pods could also be mounted, though these would increase the radar signature of the Grizzly. <gallery widths="300" heights="180">

==== SF-3 (A, B and C) ====
[[File:SF-3.png|thumb|286x286px|''SF-3C spotted near site 15'']]
Due to rising tensions at the very end of the 22nd century acting president Montano deemed it necessary to increase military spending and invest in force-multiplying-technologies. All branches of the armed forces started major changes. The air force was urged to restructure and update some antiquated systems, a key focus being air superiority. The Z-80EL was deemed to not have a big enough edge over near peer adversaries as was thought, so talks were made to start yet another advanced fighter program to start phasing out the now nearly century old Fox. A focus was also made on growing less dependent on foreign technologies. Thus another advanced fighter program was started, aimed to develop a true 6th generation aircraft. In an act that now is seen as visionairy, SPACOM was absolved of their guaranteed contract and made to compete with other manufacturers for the first time in 20 years. The [[Next Generation Universal Airframe Program]] ('''NGUAP''') was started in 2198, with the goal of creating a universal fighter aircraft family capable of air superiority, strike/bombing, naval and electronic warfare abilities while being classified as a 6th generation airframe. All variants were not required to be strictly identical, but all are urged to use common parts to streamline and lower maintenance costs. To get awarded the full contract it was mandatory to design airframes for a naval multirole fighter, air superiority fighter and strategic light bomber which all share common parts. Individual designs, if exemplary, could be considered and with cooperation could be conglomerated into universal ones.

SPACOM provided their bid, the XFAB. A radical departure from earlier designs, it performed exemplary in the areas of air superiority and naval operations without major changes to the airframe. In terms of bombing capabilities, further modifications would be needed such as a higher flight ceiling and increased range. SPACOM managed to win the contract, edging out other competitors without foul play or politics. The designation of '''SF-3 Cerberus''' was given. The variants pertaining to each function are the SF-3A, SF-3B and SF-3C for the air superiority, strike bombing and naval variants respectively. The SF-3A and C are the most similar, having roughly the same air-frame with modifications pertaining to their respective service branches. The C-model has a reinforced frame and landing gear, together with a tailhook and folding wings as well as minor changes to air combat capabilities together with some models featuring a tandem cockpit. The B-model has more substantial modifications, exclusively featuring a tandem cockpit, extended range, increased payload capacity, modified engines and reduced air-to-air capabilities.

==== LQ-1 (KQ-1) ====
[[File:LQ-1.png|thumb|''LQ-1 Aquila flying in the baskay.'' ]]
'''The LQ-1 Aquila''' was the first mass-produced unmanned combat aerial vehicle produced by SPACOM. Featuring a flying-wing design with stealth elements, the Aquila was designed from the ground up for carrier operations. A tanker version was also designed, which is now in service with the UIF.

=== Collaborative Projects ===
SPACOM has also collaborated with other companies for designs. Notably is their long-standing relationship with [[Ikai-Marion Heavy Industries|Ikai-marion]], with whom they have made many vehicles, ranging from small surface vessels to the [[New Forsetia class destroyer]] and [[Virgo class orbital corvette]]. They have also worked together with foreign companies, such as the [[Ikonia|Ikonic]] firm [[Hẽgemex]].

They are in all technicality a formal member of the Larrean armed forces, but their independence and controversial actions and beliefs are not recognized by government organizations. They are known to be religiously motivated, being an extreme offshoot of the [[Thallasi]] religion which is particularly prevalent in the state of Alecton-Gallante due to the long history of theocratic strife in the region. According to their leader, the as of yet unknown "''Allfather''" during a televised hijacking of a broadcast station, they wish to restore the [[ancient Thallasi empire]] to its former glory, which would involve a religious war to be waged against the nations of southeastern [[Doren (continent)|Doren]]. Unlike other rogue military organizations in the nation, the Thallas Battalion is indirectly funded and armed by the Larrean Armed Forces, with the [[SPACOM|SPACOM corporation]] also reportedly being involved in arming the group. SPACOM has publicly denied this, which is in direct contrast to some statements from Thallas themselves which thank the company for providing them with gear. The group has been involved in many conflicts and wars fought in the region, as well as being a major political power in the province of Zuai. The battalion was responsible for the attacks during [[operation Concordia]].

'''The United States of Larrea''', also known as '''Larrea''' ''(La-ray-ah)'' or '''Forsetti''', is a country located on the [[Forsetti peninsula]] to the southeast of [[Doren (continent)|Doren,]] in the area known as [[Baskay-Caledon]]. The state of Larrea is a federal presidential constitutional republic, having four states and one special autonomous zone. The state capital is '''New Forsetia''' (''For-see-shah''), located in Delras. The union has a total population of roughly 24 million. It contains some of the largest cities of the region, with the largest being New Forsetia and Ikacci (''E-ka-chi''). The republic was formed after the violent and bloody revolution of 2170, that was followed up by a civil war due to economic and social collapse of the peninsula, tearing up the former nations of Erusia, Delras , Alecton and Forsetti and leading to the deaths of millions. During the revolution, a small military faction in Alecton spearheaded a cause for unification, who had a string of military and social successes which lead to them starting the first drafts of the nation of Larrea shortly thereafter. The date of foundation is to this day still debated, but most agree that the idea of Larrea was started when the [[Unification Front]], now the [[Liberation Front]] political party, was founded, although the first constitution was written in 2175. State independence was held in high regard, and today each of the states have a high level of autonomy. Uniquely, the constitution stated that each of the four original states had to house all or nearly all of each respective military branch. Alecton-Gallante houses the space force, Delras houses the navy, Salred houses the air force and Areittia is home to the army. Notably, South Forsetti is not part of this arrangement because of their late entrance into the republic, although a case could be made that they house [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederate]] military units, completing the five-way military pact.
== Etymology ==
The endonym '''Larrea''' comes from the ancient '''Thalassi''' word for the Forsetti peninsula, ''Lartsuaarreit'', meaning "southern land". Over the centuries the name became more compact and influenced by outside languages, resulting in the later name ''Larrus'' and ''Larreanium'' , eventually becoming ''Larrea''. The name '''Larrea''' became an unoffical name that referred to the Forsetti peninsula, specifically used by members of the Thalassi religion. After the 2170 revolution and civil war the fledgling republic wanted to distance itself from the previous institutions, thus choosing to bring the name back as the official title of the nation as was originally proposed by the unification group. Interestingly, the second part of the word ''Lartsuaarreit'' is also believed to be the origin of the name of ''Erusia'' and ''Areittia,'' although this is still disputed among etymologists.

== The Flag ==
Larrea's flag is a radical departure from the flags that were used historically on the peninsula. After the civil war, a competition was held where everyone in the republic could submit a design to their state government, which would then get sent over to the federal government. This gave the first rendition of the flag in 2176, as well as the design for the seal of the republic. The current design was applied in 2182 by president Azzurri after South Forsetti was formally incorporated into the republic. The Flag of Larrea is built up of three vertical bars, the center bar being blue while the two flanking it are red, with the coat of arms centered in the blue bar. The blue stripe represents hope for the future, as well as the oceans that surround the republic and the skies above all. The red stripes represent the lessons from history and the uncertainty of the future, and the soil of the peninsula. The coat of arms the Forsetian eagle battling the Thalassi kraken above the motto of the republic and five stars. The eagle and kraken both have deep roots within the culture of the peninsula, and their eternal stalemate represents harmony and competition, democracy and theocracy, liberty and dignity and expansion versus enrichment. The motto of the republic also echoes this sentiment. The five stars represent the constituent states that make up the republic. The old flag had the same design but used a stylized icon of the kraken as well as the four stars of the former four states of Larrea. This icon has now become the seal of the government and is used on most federal paperwork and media.

== Geography ==
[[File:Larrea Relief no name final.png|thumb|188x188px|''Geography of the Forsetti peninsula and surroundings.'']]
The shape of the country, considered to be tall and slender, plays a large part in its unique geography. The landscape changes significantly, moving from the shores and jungles of Gary and the Alecton space port, through the bustling metropolis of New Forsetia, through upon the vast fields Delras that feed the nation, through the cold forests of Areittia, and arriving on the frigid shores of South Forsetti. Larrea's topography is marked by the absence of significant mountain ranges, the highest peak located in Alecton-Gallante. Instead, the nation features rolling hills, plateaus, and expansive plains that vary in elevation. The lack of imposing geographical barriers allows for the relatively unrestricted movement of species and the development of unique ecosystems throughout the country. Extensive coastlines along both the western and eastern coasts contribute to Larrea's diverse climate. The northern regions, situated near the equator, experience tropical rainforests, while the southern areas, approaching the South Pole, exhibit colder climates, potentially including tundra or subpolar condition, with the most southern areas being within the arctic circle. Noteworthy is the Forsetti bay, a large body of water that leads to the capital. This bay is the most densely inhabited area in the entire nation, with an estimated 10 million people inhabiting the metropolitan areas surrounding the shores. It is also home to the busiest maritime ports, as well as housing the heart of the Larrean navy.

== States ==

=== Republic of Alecton-Gallante ===
[[File:Alecton.png|left|thumb|174x174px|''Flag of Alecton-Gallante.'']]
The most religious of all the states, the '''Republic of Alecton-Gallante''' has a storied and troubled history, filled with wars, regime changes and devastating losses. The state is distinguished by its profound religiosity, which has both provided solace during times of turmoil and spurred on great achievements. As an integral part of the peninsula, Alecton-Gallante shares the profound maritime heritage that characterizes its neighboring states. Proficiency in naval exploration and fishing is deeply ingrained within its people, a testament to their enduring connection with the surrounding waters. Bolstered by their passionate belief in a storied and sometimes mythical past, the citizens take immense pride in their cultural roots.

Remarkably, Alecton-Gallante has ascended to a position of prominence within the realm of space exploration. Fueled by their religious motivations, the republic has become a preeminent player in the domain of space travel, leveraging this newfound strength to wield considerable influence within the union. Their compelling drive has translated into a robust presence both within the union's legislative body and in various social gatherings, where their fervent ideals have fostered connections and shaped dialogues.

Geographically, the republic's terrain offers a diverse tapestry of landscapes. Within its borders stands the tallest peak found within the entire union. However, this impressive elevation contrasts with the overall flatness that characterizes much of the peninsula. The northern reaches are covered in lush jungles and thriving mangrove forests, an ecological richness that gives way to cultivated farmlands and expansive plains as one journeys southward. The climate is similarly tropical, with large amounts of rainfall in the north and very hot humid summers. Within the sprawling territory, a population of 7.2 million calls Alecton-Gallante home, converging in various urban centers that embody the state's vitality. Also noteworthy is the large population of [[Fegeland|Feguans]] in the state, who arrived on the peninsula centuries before.

At the heart of this spirited republic lies '''Ikacci''', its bustling state capital. With a population numbering 2 million, Ikacci stands as a pivotal urban hub within the union. Its robust populace and vibrant infrastructure make it one of the largest and most dynamic cities within the region. The surrounding areas are also home to some of the largest industrial sectors of the union, with large plants producing high fidelity aerospace grade materials for the military and space industry.

'''The Federation of Delras''', more commonly known as '''Delras''' stands as the most prominent and influential among the states comprising the union. Its expansive population, totaling a robust 14.4 million residents, serves as a testament to its significance within the larger framework of the nation. Notably, Delras holds the distinction of housing the union's capital, New Forsetia, which mirrors its own substantial population with an impressive count of 4.3 million inhabitants. New Forsetia is distinct from other cities in the union for being a special economic zone, which gives corporations in the city more power and freedom to expand upon their business. This has resulted in the city having the highest average GDP of the union, while also having the highest rates of income inequality in the union. Delras also is home to the Larrean Navy, with the largest military port being the New Forsetia port.

The old capital of '''Dresa''' with a population of 1 million still holds an important position in the state with many of the regional governmental facilities being there. Dresa was home to the final stand of the civil war, and holds a special cultural place within the republic. Many of the older Delrassi residents still staunchly oppose the construction of the capitalist corporate haven which New Forsetia seems to have become and regularly hold protests to move the capital back to Dresa, with some fringe groups even calling for the destruction of New Forsetia.

Politically, Delras occupies a central role, not merely due to its populous cities but also as the custodian of the bulk of Larrea's federal government facilities. The concentrated presence of these pivotal institutions further underscores the state's political weight and command. Nevertheless, the populace's perception of the Delrassi government is mixed. The administration's image is marred by allegations of corruption and bureaucracy, perpetuated by antiquated laws and traditions that, to some, appear incompatible with modern sensibilities. The old communist government is remembered with both hatred and melancholy in the present republic, with many of the older generations having fond memories of the previous government. After the events of 2170, millions of previously Erusian (now Areittian) refugees fled up north to Delras looking for a fresh start to life, together with many many people from neighbouring regions. Since the neighbouring nations were all similar in terms of language and culture this great mix up went smoother than most. What it did result in was Delras becoming the largest and most influential nation due to the population increase. Even though the demographics of Delras were changed massively, the federation still contains the sizeable Blythe community which have lived there for over a century.

However, beyond cultural motifs and political intricacies, Delras boasts a robust economic landscape anchored by its traditional expertise in fishing. It prides itself as the preeminent producer of food and fishing exports throughout the entire union. The state's long-running fishing industry sustains its prominence as a primary contributor to the broader economy. With bountiful access to marine resources, Delras has nurtured a legacy of maritime enterprise that not only feeds its own populace but extends its reach to provide vital sustenance to the entire nation.

Geographically Delras is very flat and lacking of any large mountainous features. The lush agricultural landscape has given rise to a large farming industry, resulting in Larrea as a whole becoming the largest exporter of grain and other goods in the region. The warm gulf in the north gives the northern coast a temperate climate, perfect for agriculture.

=== Salred ===
[[File:Larrea Salred.png|left|thumb|189x189px|''Flag of Salred.'']]
'''The Republic of Salred''', nestled between Areittia and Delras, stands as a pivotal hub for both strategic defence and industrial prowess. Distinguished as the headquarters of the Larrean United Air Force, Salred's strategic significance is underscored by its vast airspace and flat terrain, which accommodates the largest air force base in the region. This geographic advantage has propelled Salred into a preeminent role in the Larrean Air Force, shaping its identity as a guardian of the skies.

The geography is perfectly suited for aviation as was mentioned before. The lack of any major mountains or even large hills makes it the perfect place for industries like farming and large solar and wind energy facilities. Fishing is, just like many of the other states, a large facet of Salred's economy as it has prime access to the Forsetti bay to the west and the ocean to the east. It has a very similar climate to Delras, but more severe storms often pass through Salred originating from the ocean.

With a population of approximately 900,000, Salred exudes a homogenous character that is emblematic of unity amidst diversity. The populace, leaning towards atheism, is recognized for its diligence and industrious spirit. However, this reputation is tinged with perceptions of being humorless and unexciting among their union counterparts. Regardless, Salredis take pride in their technological achievements and domestically manufactured goods, cementing their status as a potent economic force within the union.

Anchored by a thriving economy, Salred is marked by a diversified industrial landscape. The rich expanse of its territorial waters bestows a vibrant fishing industry upon the nation, supplementing its energy and manufacturing sectors. The heartbeat of this industrious nation resonates from its capital city, '''Tria''', where 270,000 souls call home. From its bustling streets to the hum of factories, Tria epitomizes the synergy between urban life and industrial progress.

Salred's political landscape bears the marks of tension and contention. While the nation grapples with an oligarchic regime, dissent and unrest surge through its streets in the form of frequent riots. Yet, this compact nation yields an outsized influence within the union's corridors of power, a testament to its substantial wealth and economic might. As one of the union's financial pillars, Salred commands a significant voice within the union senate, shaping collective decisions and the destiny of the federation.

=== People's Republic of Areittia ===
[[File:Areittia.png|left|thumb|194x194px|''Flag of Areitta.'']]
'''The People's Republic of Areittia''' (''Array-tia, also pronounced Aresia or Arusia in old dialects of Erusi'') otherwise known as '''Areittia''' or the '''PRA''' is the sole socialist state within the union, marked by its distinctive independence, rivaled only by South Forsetti. Emerging as a crucible of transformation shortly after the tumultuous events of the Forsetian unification and the revolution of 2170, Areittia itself underwent a sweeping revolution that redrew its socio-political landscape, away from their previous involvement within the former state of [[Erusia]]. The violent and bloody conflict erupted after the revolution started in Delras, and over a million people perished in what was Erusia as a result of the civil war that took place. Millions more had fled to neighbouring regions. Characterized by a pronounced secular outlook, the state is considered the most atheistic among its counterparts. Despite this, Thalassi Krakenism, once fervently observed by the populace further north, holds minimal sway in the political realm, its influence now largely confined to modest social spheres.

The Areittians themselves stand apart from their northern brethren, marked by a demeanor that reflects their reserved and often chilly environment. This inclination towards introspection mirrors their climate, where mild summers contrast with punishing winters, a climatic duality shaping both character and culture. While the nation is under the continued governance of the ruling socialist party, its once-unassailable popularity wanes progressively as the years unfurl.

Central to Areittia's identity is its integral role in the Larrean army, hosting a substantial portion of its military infrastructure. Despite conscription being a shared norm across the states, Areittia boasts exceptional retention rates among those who continue their service beyond this mandatory period. This phenomenon is attributed to the cultural significance attributed to the role of "warriors" and their dedication to the nation's defense. Home to a population of 5 million Areittia ranks as the third most populous state in the union. The capital city, '''Vemirka''', accommodates 800,000 inhabitants and stands as a nucleus of activity. Notably, it houses the central armory of the union and accommodates a majority of stationed divisions.

Geographically, the landscape is predominantly dominated by taiga forests, interspersed with pockets of tundra to the south. An inclination towards isolationism sets Areittians apart, fostering a distinctive identity that resists assimilation into the larger union. However, rooted in its foundational history, Areittia remains steadfastly loyal and committed to safeguarding Larrea, pledging unwavering defense through any exigencies.

=== Federal Republic of South Forsetti ===
[[File:South Forsetti.png|left|thumb|198x198px|''Flag of South Forsetti.'']]
'''The Federal Republic of South Forsetti''', colloquially known as '''South Forsetti''' or '''Foresti''', stands as the newest member state within the Larrean Republic. Distinguished by its special autonomous zone status, the region plays an integral role in the collective framework of the republic. Originally established as a [[Zokesia|Zokesian]] colony in the 22nd century, South Forsetti emerged as a beacon of hope for displaced Zokesians seeking a fresh start on a new continent following the upheavals of that tumultuous century.

Having changed hands multiple times over nearly two centuries, South Forsetti has steadfastly retained pride in its Zokesian heritage. This cultural continuity led to the development of [[Forsetian Creole]], being a hodgepodge of Zokesian, Arcovii, Delrassi and Erusi. The state, serving as one of the few unscathed areas on the peninsula after 2170, owes its resilience to assistance from the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederacy]]. Despite maintaining a more neutral stance during the conflict, the populace expressed deep sympathy for the hardships faced by those beyond their borders. This sentiment manifested in massive protests and riots demanding the government's active involvement in aiding refugees and supporting restoration efforts.

These protests, occurring both within and outside South Forsetti, culminated in the nation's increased integration into the newly formed republic in 2180. Despite this integration, South Forsetti retains strong ties to the Confederacy and maintains formal membership in many of their organizations. Over the years, the state has progressively aligned itself closer with the Larrean Republic, participating in the Larrean parliament and benefiting from defense provided by a collaborative Larrean and domestic Confederate military coalition. This has resulted in many considering South Forsetti as the unofficial fifth military branch of the republic, due to their unique domestic design language.

The state, with a population of 1.4 million, ranks as the second least inhabited region in the Larrean Republic. This demographic prominence grants South Forsetti significant social and political influence, allowing the introduction of avant-garde ideas to the wider republic. Geographically, the area experiences mild summers and harsh winters, with snow and ice covering substantial portions of the landscape. While slightly more hilly than other regions, the terrain remains predominantly flat.

The largest city, '''Gralenberg''', with a population of 300,000, serves as the hub for governmental and financial institutions. Historically self-sufficient in food and industry due to its long-standing independence, South Forsetti has witnessed a shift since joining the Larrean Republic. Abandoned grain fields, farms, and factories bear witness to this transformation, as many residents have migrated to urban centers in search of service-oriented employment opportunities.

Connected with the [[Larrean-Ikonic Super Highway|Larrean-Ikonic superhighway]] and the [[Larrikonic Junnel|Junnel]] to [[Ikonia]].

=== Languages ===
While many languages are spoken in the republic, [[Delras|Delrassi]] is by far the most commonly spoken and written. The constitution does not technically have a clause dictating the official language, but since over 80% of the population can natively speak Delrassi it has been unofficially adopted for all government documents and communications. [[Forsetian Creole]] is the second most spoken language, largely due to the state of South Forsetti using it as their main language. All former languages on the Forsetti peninsula were related to eachother, only sharing minor differences in vocabulary and pronounciation. In the 2150's the largest differences in the languages were mostly reorganized and homogenized. Still, the existing speakers of the dialects still insist on their independence. Alectonian, Valerian, Blythe, Salredi and Erusi are thus considered as unofficial languages. The languages that do not originate from the peninsula that are spoken the most are [[Fegeland|Feguan]] and [[Zokesia|Zokesian]]. Feguan is mostly spoken on the northern coast of Alecton, and Zokesian is mostly spoken by the elderly generations in South Forsetti.

=== Military ===
The Larrean armed forces is split up into the army, navy, air force and space force. From 2179 until 2183 the marines were the fifth branch, but they got incorporated into the navy. Each state houses a respective branch, with South Forsetti housing a hybrid defense agreement with the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|confederacy]]. The primary arms manufacturer is [[SPACOM]]. Noteworthy is the controversial [[Thallas Battalion|Thallas battalion]], operating out of Alecton.

Speech by Aurelién Juliano, given the eve of the final battle of Dresa as commander of the city's forces on november 13th 2175 as a response to rumors of mutiny going around the defense forces:<blockquote>''Attention, men.''

''I have been made aware of whispers of despair and mutiny. These are heavy times, and such whispers are not uncommon. But I want to be clear about one thing: I am not a slave to law or order; I chase freedom. Yet, I am not a slave to freedom either. To be a slave to ideals is to be constrained to a singular thought, a singular purpose. We are not slaves to freedom; we are defenders of it.''

''If your heart cannot bear to do an action which defies your instinct or better judgment, it is your right to choose apprehension. If any of you are hesitant to engage in tomorrow's battle, you may hang up your rifle and leave now. You are not my slaves, and you are not the slaves of our dream.''

''But before you do, consider this. My grandfather used to tell me whenever I was scared of the dark that it was not the torch I held in my hand which scared the monsters of the abyss, but the act of holding on to the torch that drove them away.''

''We are outgunned. We are running out of ammunition. Your armor is falling apart. You have broken bones. We are facing certain death. We are not just staring directly at the darkness; we are completely surrounded by it. Our torch is broken and running out of light.''

''But my grandfather was no gullible man. I understood what he meant. We may be outgunned, we may be running out of ammunition, and our armor may be falling apart. We may have broken bones, but what will never break is the will of a man with a dream. We must hold on to the torch. Clench it tightly. The torch shall not be extinguished by death; even beyond death, we pass on the torch.''

''We stand on the shoulders of our fallen comrades, not because we were lucky, but because they have entrusted us to carry on their legacy. They have passed us the torch. The torch burns with the fire of your hearts. To leave the torch behind is to forget the dead, to forget they were even there.''

''We joined the front because the darkness took our homes from us. We joined the front to build our new home. Any home needs a foundation. This home is built on our shoulders, brick by brick. It was because we held on to the torch that we made it here. We fought off the fascists in Alecton. We fought the communists in Erusia. We fought the foreign legions in Tria and liberated Salred. We liberated Delras. We didn't do this because of dumb luck. The hands of the dead placed the bricks we stand on now. We won't just drive the darkness away; we will build our home. Because even if we die, we built the foundations for our children to play on.''

''So I must ask you all again. If you wish to give up the fight, leave now. May Thallas have mercy on our souls. Because even if you will not, Dresa will stand.'' </blockquote>This speech, known colloquially as the [[Decree of Dresa]], has since then been referenced frequently in Larrean literature and media. The words "Dresa will stand" has become the city's motto. The same words are also etched on the navy ship [[USLS Dresa]].

=== Unification ===
2176

Unification front, rebranded to Liberation front, incorporate the remaining factions into the union. States are drawn, the senate and house of representatives is created, and the military is formed. Juliano, leader of the UF since 2172, is elected president in the first election in 2176 as head of the Liberation Front party.

Many parts of the unification were deeply unpopular with certain groups of people within the republic. Especially in the deep north and south it was met with riots and general chaos, and only relented after years of incorporation programs and domestic immigration. The following quote is an interview with an 80 year old veteran and former commander of the communist forces of what is now Areittia: <blockquote>'''''As one of the most decorated veterans of the republic, how did you end up on this remote farm?'''''

''I live a simple life now really. Unlike people the capal don't hold grudges. I got into raising them due to my uncle, who was Sahren. The steppe may look harsh but once you get to really know the landscape it has a simplistic beauty to it. Considering this government has done nothing for me i feel i owe it nothing in return.''

'''''You have been through many events that shaped not only this peninsula, but the entire planet. As many people may know you refused to take the position of minister of defense of the republic. What is your outlook on the current state of Larrea?'''''

''A friend of mine once said that people only care about what you have to say when you have reached the final page of your book. My opinion on these sorts of matters is no more important than any other citizen. You journalists are all the same. You drive all the way here just to ask me this? Then i will tell you this. The foundations of the nation we now reside in are built on lies. Every banner that springs up is no more than paint on cloth. I have shed blood for many banners, and have lost countless comrades to these ideologies. I have concluded that it is meaningless. These banners are only used to wrap around our necks and hang us in the gallows of ignorance. Once upon a time i believed in the power of these banners, and i devoted my life to fighting for them. I gave my fullest for them, and saw the death and destruction that followed as necessary evils for the greater good of the country. But the greater good never gave me anything back, except the coffins of my people. Erusia was built on lies, Doren was built on lies, Panka was built on lies, Forsetti was built on lies, and the cycle only continues now. Everything i fought for only gave me pain and regret in return. Those Delrassi snakes have the gall to kill thousands of my men and then ask me to be part of their government? Did they fall off their capal or something? All these medals they send me won't convince me otherwise, you may as well be pissing on the graves of me and my comrades. The least i can do is spit on their authority. And the Delrats send their pawns to me asking for forgiveness? Go and ask that god of yours for forgiveness for all those you have and continue to kill.''

'''''Thank you sir for your service and your answers, we will be concluding this interview.'''''

''My pleasure, Delrat.'' </blockquote>

SpeccOps: /* LV-300 */

'''SPACOM Austral Aerospace''', also known as '''Austral''', is [[Larrea|Larrean]] aerospace and defence manufacturer, headquartered in the city of Gralenberg. Founded in 2190, the company started out manufacturing small drones and UAV's, mainly quadcopters and other rotorcraft. This expertise would help the company find their niche in the defense industry, primarily manufacturing helicopters and VTOL aircraft. This success was part of why [[SPACOM]] acquired the company in 2195, now formally part of the rapidly growing conglomerate. Functionally Austral remains independent in their endeavours, mostly avoiding conflict with the parent company.

==== LV-300 ====
The '''LV-300 Ajax''' is the largest among the standard LV series aircraft. It features four tilting rotors, in a tandem wing configuration. It has an opening cargo bay door in the rear, allowing it to quickly unload a variety of payloads, be they simple logistical loads or live deployments of armoured vehicles. It has a maximum takeoff mass of 300 tons, with higher loads being possible with specific models. It has a maximum speed of 120 m/s. The aircraft was developed out of a necessity for large high-capacity transports which could be fielded on any airfield or ship. The Ajax was accepted into Larrean service in 2195, initially for use by the army to transport heavy loads such as tanks. Over the years a few different variants have been developed out of the baseline model, among which are a navy version and a ground attack variant.
==== LV-700 ====
[[File:LV-700.png|thumb|375x375px|LV-700 Super Ajax, in Larrean navy service]]
The '''LV-700 Super Ajax''' is a specialized variant of the normal Ajax, but it features four improved [[Mureșean-Zochescu]] counter rotating turboprops, giving it a colossal maximum takeoff mass of 700 tons. Just like the regular Ajax, it features multi-role capabilities such as external pylons for mounting sensors and ordinance to, as well as airdrop capability. The increased takeoff mass does sacrifice range and some maneuverability, but the Super Ajax can hit a top speed of 125 m/s. The development of the LV-700 ran parallel to the 300, as Austral expected a demand for an even heavier lifter. This was initially heavily lobbied against by higherups in SPACOM, but after preorders for the Super Ajax started coming in from the Larrean and foreign militaries these voices were put to rest. The Super Ajax passed trials in 2196, and it alongside the Ajax saw service in [[Operation Concordia]].

'''Operation Concordia''', also known as the '''2200 Alecton rebellion''', was a military operation performed by the [[Larrea|Larrean Armed Forces]] against a rebelling division of the Alectonese Home Guard. Thought to have been in collaboration with the terrorist [[Thallas Battalion]] group, the rebellion started due to ultra-nationalist cells within the Alectonese Home Guard gaining control of local air force and army bases within north Alecton on the morning of November 30th on Larrean unification day. Numbering around 5 battalions of soldiers totaling 5000 men, 20 armored platoons and 100 various aircraft, it was the largest hostile military uprising on the Forsetti peninsula since the civil war. The rebellion was ended one week later, after the central government assembled a combined task force of all Larrean military divisions under the name ''Concordia'', showcasing the first time combined arms warfare was carried out outside of training exercises.

== Background ==
[[File:Concordia map(1).png|thumb|Map of all rebel territory gained and lost during the operation, as well as the air raid of December 2nd. |453x453px]]
Alectonese Nationalism has historically been a problem within the Larrean Republic, ever since the Unification Front defeated the Caliphate forces during the Forsetti Civil War. Fundementalist Thalassi Krakenism thrives within the rural communities in the densely forested north of the country. Many terrorist organizations and extremist groups within the republic have originated from these deeply religious parts of Alecton-Gallante, but they have historically been dealt with relatively easily by local law enforcement and intelligence. The exception to this rule has been the Thallas Battalion, which has managed to escape from the mainland and has fled the reaches of Larrean law, with many theorizing that they are being given refuge in Zuai by the theocratic government.

The attacks came only days after a Larrean Navy destroyer went missing in the arctic, which had reports of being compromised by Thallas. Journalists were given conflicting answers regarding a Larrean Navy lifeboat that was found near an area where signs of a battle between Thallas and the arctic pirates was detected, with certain sources claiming that a note was found threatening a declaration of war by Thallas and other sources speculating that the pirates were behind it. Since the incident is still classified, it is not publicly known whether or not the government knew of the attacks prior to the 30th.

== Timeline ==

=== November 30th ===
The attack started at 9 AM with the hijacking of multiple TV stations, each broadcasting the same video; A masked man sitting at a desk with the old civil war era caliphate flag behind him. The broadcast proclaimed the following: <blockquote>''"Good morning patriots. As we enlightened ones know, the Larrean government is a fascist dictatorship run by a corrupt puppet controlled by corporations. The people have lost their morality and are straying away from Thallas (God). Our ancestral lands beyond our borders are controlled by foreign governments and must be liberated. On this day, 30 years ago, our dream of a caliphate united under the holy law of Thallas was destroyed by the demonic vermin of Delras. Our dream lived on however. Today, we reject the control of the devil. We will show our devotion to Him, and we will build our kingdom. So i proclaim to you, rise up, so we can build our kingdom in heaven and join our ancestors who went through the portal so many years ago. Thallas Vincit Omnia".'' </blockquote>It is now believed that this hijacking was performed by the Thallas Battalion, and that the masked figure speaking was their leader known as the [[Allfather]] who is considered as the most wanted man in the peninsula with a reward of 10 million Forsa to anyone who can provide information on the man.

After the broadcast finished, reports of explosions emerged all over northern Alecton. Government and other federal offices were targeted and all interstate units stationed nearby were captured. The Rebels, who by now were referring to themselves as "''the caliphate''", had effectively cut the northern province of Alecton off from the rest of the republic by the afternoon. Captured armoured units and aircraft were patrolling the ground and skies, and reports were made that missiles came flying in off the northern coast of Alecton. Radar stations and SAM sites were also compromised, hindering a swift counterattack from government forces. During the TV Hijacking, a large scale cyberattack was also performed by the rebels, rendering many government websites as well as media applications inoperable. Military installations were also targeted, with communications being cut by the hackers. Compromised armoured units promptly moved south, but stopped after a few dozen kilometers due to a loss of order within the rebel command as conflicting orders were being given on where to advance. This chaos was absolved after a few hours, and the front line moved south rapidly approaching the capital of Ikacci. The space port in the north was also taken over, with little to no violence being involved.

At 6 PM a swarm of suicide drones came flying into [[Larrea|Ikacci]] province, and one hit an appartment complex in the Ikacci suburbs. Come evening, a press release was issued by the central government in New Forsetia, with president Montano stating that this show of rebellion is unacceptable and that the insurgency will be dealt with swiftly. Around this time locally stationed troops engaged in the first large scale firefights with the rebel forces, halting the rebel advance to the outskirts of Ikacci province. A front line was being established, but an estimated 1000 Alectonese home guard troops as well as local law enforcement had already fallen as casualties throughout the day. This loss of life was the largest one since the civil war, and became the single deadliest day of modern Larrean history.

The advance of the rebels had almost completely halted around 10 PM. That evening at exactly 12 PM, the Larrean Armed Forces made their first move.

=== December 1st ===
Shortly after midnight in the early morning of December 1st, 8 [[SPACOM|SF-2B Griffin]] strike fighters from the 3rd Salredi Air Squadron were scrambled from Tria Air Force base in Salred, together with 2 [[SPACOM|EF-2B Grizzly]] electronic warfare aircraft. The combined formation flew north towards the front line in northern Alecton and performed a SEAD run together with a bombing run deep into the controlled area targeting airfields. Rebel radar installations and SAM sites were hit, and the Griffins scored confirmed hits on two airfields near the front line. During the raid however, a few SAM installations managed to get locks onto a number of the Griffins, resulting in three of the fighters being hit and four of the pilots losing their lives. This loss was unexpected but not unforeseen among air force command, considering that Larrean air defence was designed to take down near-peer adversaries, which seemed to have backfired for the [[SPACOM]]-built Griffin fighters. Due to this sudden loss of aircraft, the second wave of fighters to perform penetrating operations was put on hold and air force command was forced to reconsider their next move. This halting of operations due to the loss of the aircraft has been credited with extending the conflict much longer, and has been subject to scrutiny in recent times.

Shortly after the loss of the aircraft the formation retreated back from the front lines and landed near Dresa AFB. During this raid, small squadrons of Special Forces Paratroopers from the 1st Areittian army brigade were deployed in the now-destroyed radar blind spots, with the goal of clearing the neutralized air fields and encircling rebels caught between them and the front line during the chaos of the air raid. By morning the SF confirmed the capture of the two destroyed air fields, and captured two rebel camps which were being built near the front line, carving out a multi-kilometer sized chunk from the rebel controlled territory and marking the first territorial gain of government forces. After the SF united with the home guard, the captured rebels were handed over and the combined forces turned back to push forward into the rebel territory. Again, due to the unexpected loss of the three Griffins the scale of the SF deployment was scaled back massively.

Hours later, the first rebel fighter jets had been deployed. Due to the Larrean constitution stipulating that every state must only house one branch of the armed forces in large amounts, the rebels did not manage to acquire any of the advanced stealth fighters, since they were primarily stationed in Salred, with the ones in Alecton being held in the south of the state. However, 30 Z-80EL and 10 Z-90L fighters were captured in the various compromised airfields. Z-80EL's were thus the first to be spotted being deployed by the rebels. The rebel fighters performed a raid on the villages near the front line around 11 AM, with one aircraft striking houses in a town near Ikacci. While home guard troops were equipped with MANPAD's, they did not manage to shoot down any of the rebel fighters. It thus became clear that air superiority had to be established before larger operations could be carried out. The low amount of SF soldiers, although creating a breakthrough in the front line, did not have the expected effect they were thought to have and fighting once again slowed down in the afternoon. Around 5 PM, multiple divisions of the coalition armed forces arrived to the front line, and mobile radar stations and SAM vehicles were set up. The first armoured divisions also arrived, finally providing valuable backup to the now dwindling forces of the home guard. As the day closed, a noticeable buildup of units was seen on both sides of the front line, but due to the lack of rebel munitions and a lack of coalition air superiority no large pushes were made in either direction.

Behind the scenes, air force command were pressuring LAF top brass to deploy the more advanced aircraft within the arsenal, but the unexpectedly high losses of the operation so far discouraged larger scale operations from taking place. After the rebel fighters were spotted conducting successful raids however, the mentality of the command seemed to change. Following careful deliberation, the green light was given for the use of experimental aircraft in the next day of the campaign. It was also now that a new comprehensive plan was drafted for the rest of the operation, which is when the codename '''Concordia''' was given.

=== December 2nd ===
Just before daybreak on the 2nd of December, fighters were once again scrambled from Tria AFB. This time, as part of the new operation, new units were allowed to be deployed. 3 of the as of yet still prototype versions of the SF-3B Cerberus strike fighters are deployed, with their stealth coatings still being freshly adhered onto their airframe. They are joined by 12 SF-2B Griffins, 4 EF-2B Grizzlies, and 3 of the only finished pre-production versions of the SF-3A models. A second wave of 12 Z-90L's is also deployed. They are reinforced by an AWACS aircraft and an aerial refueling is performed in the Forsetti bay. They are tasked with the complete destruction of all radar, SAM and ballistic missile sites as well as the neutralization of all operating airfields, and plan to hit the southwestern portion of the rebel territory.[[File:UBT-1 Column.png|thumb|368x368px|Invictus MBT's headed for the front lines.]]The Grizzlies lead this combined squadron, followed by the two models of Cerberus. The first run is performed on first daylight. The rebel forces, having expected such an attack had scrambled fighters of their own to patrol the skies. 15 Z-80EL's are spotted by the AWACS, and the coalition force is updated on the situation. The Grizzlies jam all incoming transmissions, giving the go ahead to the Griffins to fire their missiles towards the rebel Z-80's. Simultaneously, the Cerberus-B bombers use this opportunity to penetrate and go full afterburner into the rebel territory, each loaded with ten 1000 kg guided bombs as well as two cruise missiles and multiple anti-radiation missiles. This wall of electric noise, missiles, and bombers hit the rebel fighters all at once. Understanding their situation, they immediately drop altitude and try to assess the threat. Right at that moment however, 10 of the 15 Z-80's are splashed by the missiles. Simultaneously, the Cerberus bombers pass under them, having successfully penetrated the first layer of rebel fighters and radar and rapidly approaching the first targets. The remaining bandits fire off their own missiles, having gotten faint signatures from the Grizzlies. While their attack got off successfully, the Z-80's are hit with the second wave of missiles from the coalition forces, and are all shot out of the sky. The Grizzlies dodge the incoming missiles, which arrived out of energy due to having been fired beyond their effective range. The coalition formation, having stood back and only fired a few missiles, now all charge ahead towards the enemy airspace. The bombers, which at this point had reached their targets, deploy their payloads and turn around. A total of 3 airfields (including the largest one, XXXX air force base), 10 SAM sites, 5 radar installations and 2 missile stations were hit in the attack, crippling the most valuable parts of the rebel air defense. With hundreds of square kilometers now being neutralized, the formation splits up and pushes ahead. The Cerberus bombers are given permission to return back to Salred, while the rest of the formation prepares for the second phase of the attack.
[[File:USLS Dresa.png|thumb|368x368px|USLS Dresa in the Forsetti bay, shortly after performing ranged strikes.]]
The massive strike prompted the rebels to scramble all of their remaining aircraft into the skies, not anticipating the scale of the counterattack. As time passes, all remaining 25 fighters of the rebels get up in the air, but are picked off one by one. After half an hour in the sky, all rebel fighters had been neutralized. As the formation is running out of missiles, they perform the last part of the operation and proceed to neutralize the rest of the rebel air defenses, rotating out aircraft as they each run out of munitions or fuel. By 7 AM, all major targets in the rebel controlled area are destroyed. Coalition air dominance is established at last, having lost only one aircraft (a crusader II) with no loss of life. The air operation was the largest since the civil war.

The arrival of mechanized forces during the last night, together with the air strikes, set up the next step of the revised ground operation. Mass coalition artillery fire commenced at 7 AM, now not being in danger of rebel aircraft, and would not stop until 12 hours later and targeting all the rebel encampments near the front line. At 8 AM ''USLS Dresa'' and ''USLS Novum Forsetia'' of the [[New Forsetia class destroyer|New Forsetia class]] launched cruise missiles into the now devoid of defenses rebel territory, neutralizing the final large military installations. All that is left are the military forces at the space port and the major cities, which due to the risk of civillian casualties had been unscathed. Due to this however, many of the rebel forces moved from their positions towards towns and cities, realizing that the coalition won't bomb them if they hide among civilians. By midnight, the armed forces had flattened almost all defensive positions of the rebels. The plains, swamps and jungles of northern Alecton had now become hazy with dust, and reeked of gunpowder. Due to a severe thunderstorm that rolled in shortly after midnight, operations ceased until the following morning due to the already difficult to traverse terrain having become hazardous.

=== December 3rd ===
[[File:Ajaxnightop.png|thumb|369x369px|A super Ajax deploying tanks at the Alecton Spaceport, shortly before ''The battle of the gates to heaven.'']]
At 5 AM, the weather conditions improved and ground operations could commence once more. While a path had now been cleared, charging forward would not be the optimal strategy. Since most rebel forces had now gone into hiding among civilian populations, the next phase of operation Concordia would be defined by urban combat. The tanks and artillery which had stationed themselves along the southern front line rolled forward, and swift progress was made by the coalition forces. The armored vehicles belonging to the rebels had become inoperable due to a lack of ammunition, supply lines and fuel. Dozens of vehicles lay scattered among the roads, abandoned yet in perfect condition. The highway system proved effective, just as it had facilitated the blitz-attack of the rebels it now provided a direct route through compromised territory. Progressed would only be slowed down due to coalition forces clearing out towns and cities, to recapture and eliminate remaining rebels. As the convoys moved ever further north and as the sun began descending more and more, liberation of settlements slowed down considerably due to increased ferocity in the skirmished within the cities. Where the rebels had surrendered in droves close to the front line, further north their resolve proved more formidable. Tank combat flared up around sunset, as the remaining operable armored divisions of the rebels had moved further north to prepare for defensive engagements against the coalition forces. At 11 PM, the southern coalition forces had reached the shores of the northern bay.

While the coalition forces in the south were clearing a way through the Alecton heartland, another assault was being carried out. During the thunderstorm of the early morning, at 3 AM, amphibious assault ships of the Delrassi fleet had sailed north, and stationed themselves off the coast near the space port. They carried with them multiple landing craft and supply vehicles, as they were preparing for a beach landing. The thunderstorm, which had become a roadblock for the southern front, had provided cover and concealment for the northern assault. Supplementing the amphibious landing, multiple squadrons of paratroopers of the 1st and 2nd Areittian army brigades would once more attempt a landing, this time also targeting the north. Ten LV-700 Super Ajax heavy VTOLs disembarked from their ships, carrying with them a multitude of armoured vehicles and troops. The plan was to capture the space port and liberate northern Alecton, forcing the rebels to fight on two fronts. The operations would commence at sunrise, when conditions were clear.
[[File:Alecton NightOps.png|thumb|368x368px|Paratroopers headed for the Alecton Spaceport, lasers are visible in the background.]]
As the horizon slowly became filled with light, the landing craft raced towards the beaches, and the paratroopers and their vehicles started descending near the runway of the spaceport. While most rebel defenses in the area had been moved towards the south, a formidable force was still present at the space port due to it being spared in the previous day's bombardments. First shots would be fired when the rebels, who had been caught completely off guard, met the coalition special forces while attempting to rearm helicopters near the runway. Simultaneously, the landing craft had deployed almost all their troops and vehicles, and the formation raced towards the spaceport. ''The battle of the gates to heaven'', as the media dubbed it, had officially begun at the space port. Special forces cleared the hangars near the runway and made their way southeast towards the launchpads and the space port facilities, while the amphibious troops with their vehicles made their way towards the defenses at the southwestern portion of the port. Coalition casualties were few, as the special forces had now become used to fighting their former countrymen. The two coalition forces met at the vehicle assembly buildings of the port, and the massive buildings became a temporary prison for all the captured rebels. Vehicles and supplies were exchanged as the forces prepared for rebel reinforcements. Enemy armored vehicles began entering the perimeter of the port, and began engaging coalition forces. Tank-on-tank combat began, and soon the port's facilities began taking damage from the fighting. At 1 PM, nearly 7 hours after the landing, the space port was declared liberated. The Larrean flag was raised on the top of the main VAB, and the caliphate black standard which had waved there for 80 hours was lowered and burned.

Similar to the southern assault, the northern landing and subsequent liberation went quick once the defenses were knocked down. Around afternoon, once all the fighting at the space port concluded, virtually nothing stood between the coalition forces and progressing southward due to the rebels allocating their resources to the southern front. The sparse population of the north made it such that, even though the northern forces had considerably less troops than the southern forces, they made quick work of the northwestern portion Alecton. At 10 PM, northern forces had reached the northern shore of the Alecton bay and had created a spearhead towards the largest settlement of the bay, where most rebel forces by then had retreated to.

'''SPACOM Austral Aerospace''', also known as '''Austral''', is [[Larrea|Larrean]] aerospace and defence manufacturer, headquartered in the city of Gralenberg. Founded in 2190, the company started out manufacturing small drones and UAV's, mainly quadcopters and other rotorcraft. This expertise would help the company find their niche in the defense industry, primarily manufacturing helicopters and VTOL aircraft. This success was part of why [[SPACOM]] acquired the company in 2195, now formally part of the rapidly growing conglomerate. Functionally Austral remains independent in their endeavours, mostly avoiding conflict with the parent company.

==== LV-20 ====
blablablableblebleblublublu ubububbububububbuu

==== LV-300 ====
The '''LV-300 Ajax''' is the largest among the standard LV series aircraft. It features four tilting rotors, in a tandem wing configuration. It has an opening cargo bay door in the rear, allowing it to quickly unload a variety of payloads, be they simple logistical loads or live deployments of armoured vehicles. It has reccomended payload rating of 300 tons, with higher loads being possible with specific models. It has a maximum speed of 120 m/s. The aircraft was developed out of a necessity for large high-capacity transports which could be fielded on any airfield or ship. The Ajax was accepted into Larrean service in 2195, initially for use by the army to transport heavy loads such as tanks. Over the years a few different variants have been developed out of the baseline model, among which are a navy version and a ground attack variant.
==== LV-700 ====
[[File:LV-700.png|thumb|375x375px|LV-700 Super Ajax, in Larrean navy service]]
The '''LV-700 Super Ajax''' is a specialized variant of the normal Ajax, but it features four improved [[Mureșean-Zochescu]] counter rotating turboprops, giving it a colossal maximum takeoff mass of 700 tons. Just like the regular Ajax, it features multi-role capabilities such as external pylons for mounting sensors and ordinance to, as well as airdrop capability. The increased takeoff mass does sacrifice range and some maneuverability, but the Super Ajax can hit a top speed of 125 m/s. The development of the LV-700 ran parallel to the 300, as Austral expected a demand for an even heavier lifter. This was initially heavily lobbied against by higherups in SPACOM, but after preorders for the Super Ajax started coming in from the Larrean and foreign militaries these voices were put to rest. The Super Ajax passed trials in 2196, and it alongside the Ajax saw service in [[Operation Concordia]].

'''Operation Concordia''', also known as the '''2200 Alecton rebellion''', was a military operation performed by the [[Larrea|Larrean Armed Forces]] against a rebelling division of the Alectonese Home Guard. Thought to have been in collaboration with the terrorist [[Thallas Battalion]] group, the rebellion started due to ultra-nationalist cells within the Alectonese Home Guard gaining control of local air force and army bases within north Alecton on the morning of November 30th on Larrean unification day. Numbering around 5 battalions of soldiers totaling 5000 men, 20 armored platoons and 100 various aircraft, it was the largest hostile military uprising on the Forsetti peninsula since the civil war. The rebellion was ended one week later, after the central government assembled a combined task force of all Larrean military divisions under the name ''Concordia'', showcasing the first time combined arms warfare was carried out outside of training exercises.

== Background ==
[[File:Concordia map(1).png|thumb|Map of all rebel territory gained and lost during the operation, as well as the air raid of December 2nd. |453x453px]]
Alectonese Nationalism has historically been a problem within the Larrean Republic, ever since the Unification Front defeated the Caliphate forces during the Forsetti Civil War. Fundementalist Thalassi Krakenism thrives within the rural communities in the densely forested north of the country. Many terrorist organizations and extremist groups within the republic have originated from these deeply religious parts of Alecton-Gallante, but they have historically been dealt with relatively easily by local law enforcement and intelligence. The exception to this rule has been the Thallas Battalion, which has managed to escape from the mainland and has fled the reaches of Larrean law.

The attacks came only days after a Larrean Navy destroyer went missing in the arctic, which had reports of being compromised by Thallas. Journalists were given conflicting answers regarding a Larrean Navy lifeboat that was found near an area where signs of a battle between Thallas and the arctic pirates was detected, with certain sources claiming that a note was found threatening a declaration of war by Thallas and other sources speculating that the pirates were behind it. Since the incident is still classified, it is not publicly known whether or not the government knew of the attacks prior to the 30th.

== Timeline ==

=== November 30th ===
The attack started at 9 AM with the hijacking of multiple TV stations, each broadcasting the same video; A masked man sitting at a desk with the old civil war era caliphate flag behind him. The broadcast proclaimed the following: <blockquote>''"Good morning patriots. As we enlightened ones know, the Larrean government is a fascist dictatorship run by a corrupt puppet controlled by corporations. The people have lost their morality and are straying away from Thallas (God). Our ancestral lands beyond our borders are controlled by foreign governments and must be liberated. On this day, 30 years ago, our dream of a caliphate united under the holy law of Thallas was destroyed by the demonic vermin of Delras. Our dream lived on however. Today, we reject the control of the devil. We will show our devotion to Him, and we will build our kingdom. So i proclaim to you, rise up, so we can build our kingdom in heaven and join our ancestors who went through the portal so many years ago. Thallas Vincit Omnia".'' </blockquote>It is now believed that this hijacking was performed by the Thallas Battalion, and that the masked figure speaking was their leader known as the [[Allfather]] who is considered as the most wanted man in the peninsula with a reward of 10 million Forsa to anyone who can provide information on the man.

After the broadcast finished, reports of explosions emerged all over northern Alecton. Government and other federal offices were targeted and all interstate units stationed nearby were captured. The Rebels, who by now were referring to themselves as "''the caliphate''", had effectively cut the northern province of Alecton off from the rest of the republic by the afternoon. Captured armoured units and aircraft were patrolling the ground and skies, and reports were made that missiles came flying in off the northern coast of Alecton. Radar stations and SAM sites were also compromised, hindering a swift counterattack from government forces. During the TV Hijacking, a large scale cyberattack was also performed by the rebels, rendering many government websites as well as media applications inoperable. Military installations were also targeted, with communications being cut by the hackers. Compromised armoured units promptly moved south, but stopped after a few dozen kilometers due to a loss of order within the rebel command as conflicting orders were being given on where to advance. This chaos was absolved after a few hours, and the front line moved south rapidly approaching the capital of Ikacci. The space port in the north was also taken over, with little to no violence being involved.

At 6 PM a swarm of suicide drones came flying into [[Larrea|Ikacci]] province, and one hit an appartment complex in the Ikacci suburbs. Come evening, a press release was issued by the central government in New Forsetia, with president Montano stating that this show of rebellion is unacceptable and that the insurgency will be dealt with swiftly. Around this time locally stationed troops engaged in the first large scale firefights with the rebel forces, halting the rebel advance to the outskirts of Ikacci province. A front line was being established, but an estimated 1000 Alectonese home guard troops as well as local law enforcement had already fallen as casualties throughout the day. This loss of life was the largest one since the civil war, and became the single deadliest day of modern Larrean history.

They are tasked with the complete destruction of all radar, SAM and ballistic missile sites as well as the neutralization of all operating airfields, and plan to hit the southwestern portion of the rebel territory.[[File:UBT-1 Column.png|thumb|368x368px|Invictus MBT's headed for the front lines.]]The Grizzlies lead this combined squadron, followed by the two models of Cerberus.

At 8 AM ''USLS Dresa'' and ''USLS Novum Forsetia'' of the [[New Forsetia class destroyer|New Forsetia class]] launched cruise missiles into the now devoid of defenses rebel territory, neutralizing the final large military installations. All that is left are the military forces at the space port and the major cities, which due to the risk of civillian casualties had been unscathed. Due to this however, many of the rebel forces moved from their positions towards towns and cities, realizing that the coalition won't bomb them if they hide among civilians. By midnight, the armed forces had flattened almost all defensive positions of the rebels. The plains, swamps and jungles of northern Alecton had now become hazy with dust, and reeked of gunpowder. Due to a severe thunderstorm that rolled in shortly after midnight, operations ceased until the following morning due to the already difficult to traverse terrain having become hazardous.

At 5 AM, the weather conditions improved and ground operations could commence once more. While a path had now been cleared, charging forward would not be the optimal strategy. Since most rebel forces had now gone into hiding among civilian populations, the next phase of operation Concordia would be defined by urban combat. The tanks and artillery which had stationed themselves along the southern front line rolled forward, and swift progress was made by the coalition forces. The armored vehicles belonging to the rebels had become inoperable due to a lack of ammunition, supply lines and fuel. Dozens of vehicles lay scattered among the roads, abandoned yet in perfect condition. The highway system proved effective, just as it had facilitated the blitz-attack of the rebels it now provided a direct route through compromised territory. Progressed would only be slowed down due to coalition forces clearing out towns and cities, to recapture and eliminate remaining rebels. As the convoys moved ever further north and as the sun began descending more and more, liberation of settlements slowed down considerably due to increased ferocity in the skirmished within the cities. Where the rebels had surrendered in droves close to the front line, further north their resolve proved more formidable. Tank combat flared up around sunset, as the remaining operable armored divisions of the rebels had moved further north to prepare for defensive engagements against the coalition forces. At 11 PM, the southern coalition forces had reached the shores of the northern bay.

While the coalition forces in the south were clearing a way through the Alecton heartland, another assault was being carried out. During the thunderstorm of the early morning, at 3 AM, amphibious assault ships of the Delrassi fleet had sailed north, and stationed themselves off the coast near the space port. They carried with them multiple landing craft and supply vehicles, as they were preparing for a beach landing. The thunderstorm, which had become a roadblock for the southern front, had provided cover and concealment for the northern assault. Supplementing the amphibious landing, multiple squadrons of paratroopers of the 1st and 2nd Areittian army brigades would once more attempt a landing, this time also targeting the north. Ten LV-700 Super Ajax heavy VTOLs disembarked from their ships, carrying with them a multitude of armoured vehicles and troops. The plan was to capture the space port and liberate northern Alecton, forcing the rebels to fight on two fronts. The operations would commence at sunrise, when conditions were clear.
[[File:Alecton NightOps.png|thumb|368x368px|Paratroopers headed for the Alecton Spaceport, lasers are visible in the background.]]
As the horizon slowly became filled with light, the landing craft raced towards the beaches, and the paratroopers and their vehicles started descending near the runway of the spaceport. While most rebel defenses in the area had been moved towards the south, a formidable force was still present at the space port due to it being spared in the previous day's bombardments. First shots would be fired when the rebels, who had been caught completely off guard, met the coalition special forces while attempting to rearm helicopters near the runway. Simultaneously, the landing craft had deployed almost all their troops and vehicles, and the formation raced towards the spaceport. ''The battle of the gates to heaven'', as the media dubbed it, had officially begun at the space port. Special forces cleared the hangars near the runway and made their way southeast towards the launchpads and the space port facilities, while the amphibious troops with their vehicles made their way towards the defenses at the southwestern portion of the port. Coalition casualties were few, as the special forces had now become used to fighting their former countrymen. The two coalition forces met at the vehicle assembly buildings of the port, and the massive buildings became a temporary prison for all the captured rebels. Vehicles and supplies were exchanged as the forces prepared for rebel reinforcements. Enemy armored vehicles began entering the perimeter of the port, and began engaging coalition forces. Tank-on-tank combat began, and soon the port's facilities began taking damage from the fighting. At 1 PM, nearly 7 hours after the landing, the space port was declared liberated. The Larrean flag was raised on the top of the main VAB, and the caliphate black standard which had waved there for 80 hours was lowered and burned.

Similar to the southern assault, the northern landing and subsequent liberation went quick once the defenses were knocked down. Around afternoon, once all the fighting at the space port concluded, virtually nothing stood between the coalition forces and progressing southward due to the rebels allocating their resources to the southern front. The sparse population of the north made it such that, even though the northern forces had considerably less troops than the southern forces, they made quick work of the northwestern portion Alecton. At 10 PM, northern forces had reached the northern shore of the Alecton bay and had created a spearhead towards the largest settlement of the bay, where most rebel forces by then had retreated to.

'''Operation Concordia''', also known as the '''2200 Alecton rebellion''', was a military operation performed by the [[Larrea|Larrean Armed Forces]] against a rebelling division of the Alectonese Home Guard. Thought to have been in collaboration with the terrorist [[Thallas Battalion]] group, the rebellion started due to ultra-nationalist cells within the Alectonese Home Guard gaining control of local air force and army bases within north Alecton on the morning of November 30th on Larrean unification day. Numbering around 5 battalions of soldiers totaling 5000 men, 20 armored platoons and 100 various aircraft, it was the largest hostile military uprising on the Forsetti peninsula since the civil war. The rebellion was ended one week later, after the central government assembled a combined task force of all Larrean military divisions under the name ''Concordia'', showcasing the first time combined arms warfare was carried out outside of training exercises.

== Background ==
[[File:Concordia map(1).png|thumb|Map of all rebel territory gained and lost during the operation, as well as the air raid of December 2nd. |453x453px]]
Alectonese Nationalism has historically been a problem within the Larrean Republic, ever since the Unification Front defeated the Caliphate forces during the Forsetti Civil War. Fundementalist Thalassi Krakenism thrives within the rural communities in the densely forested north of the country. Many terrorist organizations and extremist groups within the republic have originated from these deeply religious parts of Alecton-Gallante, but they have historically been dealt with relatively easily by local law enforcement and intelligence. The exception to this rule has been the Thallas Battalion, which has managed to escape from the mainland and has fled the reaches of Larrean law.

The attacks came only days after a Larrean Navy destroyer went missing in the arctic, which had reports of being compromised by Thallas. Journalists were given conflicting answers regarding a Larrean Navy lifeboat that was found near an area where signs of a battle between Thallas and the arctic pirates was detected, with certain sources claiming that a note was found threatening a declaration of war by Thallas and other sources speculating that the pirates were behind it. Since the incident is still classified, it is not publicly known whether or not the government knew of the attacks prior to the 30th.

== Timeline ==

=== November 30th ===
The attack started at 9 AM with the hijacking of multiple TV stations, each broadcasting the same video; A masked man sitting at a desk with the old civil war era caliphate flag behind him. The broadcast proclaimed the following: <blockquote>''"Good morning patriots. As we enlightened ones know, the Larrean government is a fascist dictatorship run by a corrupt puppet controlled by corporations. The people have lost their morality and are straying away from Thallas (God). Our ancestral lands beyond our borders are controlled by foreign governments and must be liberated. On this day, 30 years ago, our dream of a caliphate united under the holy law of Thallas was destroyed by the demonic vermin of Delras. Our dream lived on however. Today, we reject the control of the devil. We will show our devotion to Him, and we will build our kingdom. So i proclaim to you, rise up, so we can build our kingdom in heaven and join our ancestors who went through the portal so many years ago. Thallas Vincit Omnia".'' </blockquote>It is now believed that this hijacking was performed by the Thallas Battalion, and that the masked figure speaking was their leader known as the [[Allfather]] who is considered as the most wanted man in the peninsula with a reward of 10 million Forsa to anyone who can provide information on the man.

After the broadcast finished, reports of explosions emerged all over northern Alecton. Government and other federal offices were targeted and all interstate units stationed nearby were captured. The Rebels, who by now were referring to themselves as "''the caliphate''", had effectively cut the northern province of Alecton off from the rest of the republic by the afternoon. Captured armoured units and aircraft were patrolling the ground and skies, and reports were made that missiles came flying in off the northern coast of Alecton. Radar stations and SAM sites were also compromised, hindering a swift counterattack from government forces. During the TV Hijacking, a large scale cyberattack was also performed by the rebels, rendering many government websites as well as media applications inoperable. Military installations were also targeted, with communications being cut by the hackers. Compromised armoured units promptly moved south, but stopped after a few dozen kilometers due to a loss of order within the rebel command as conflicting orders were being given on where to advance. This chaos was absolved after a few hours, and the front line moved south rapidly approaching the capital of Ikacci. The space port in the north was also taken over, with little to no violence being involved.

At 6 PM a swarm of suicide drones came flying into [[Larrea|Ikacci]] province, and one hit an appartment complex in the Ikacci suburbs. Come evening, a press release was issued by the central government in New Forsetia, with president Montano stating that this show of rebellion is unacceptable and that the insurgency will be dealt with swiftly. Around this time locally stationed troops engaged in the first large scale firefights with the rebel forces, halting the rebel advance to the outskirts of Ikacci province. A front line was being established, but an estimated 1000 Alectonese home guard troops as well as local law enforcement had already fallen as casualties throughout the day. This loss of life was the largest one since the civil war, and became the single deadliest day of modern Larrean history.

The advance of the rebels had almost completely halted around 10 PM. That evening at exactly 12 PM, the Larrean Armed Forces made their first move.

=== December 1st ===
Shortly after midnight in the early morning of December 1st, 8 [[SPACOM|SF-2B Griffin]] strike fighters from the 3rd Salredi Air Squadron were scrambled from Tria Air Force base in Salred, together with 2 [[SPACOM|EF-2B Grizzly]] electronic warfare aircraft. The combined formation flew north towards the front line in northern Alecton and performed a SEAD run together with a bombing run deep into the controlled area targeting airfields. Rebel radar installations and SAM sites were hit, and the Griffins scored confirmed hits on two airfields near the front line. During the raid however, a few SAM installations managed to get locks onto a number of the Griffins, resulting in three of the fighters being hit and four of the pilots losing their lives. This loss was unexpected but not unforeseen among air force command, considering that Larrean air defence was designed to take down near-peer adversaries, which seemed to have backfired for the [[SPACOM]]-built Griffin fighters. Due to this sudden loss of aircraft, the second wave of fighters to perform penetrating operations was put on hold and air force command was forced to reconsider their next move. This halting of operations due to the loss of the aircraft has been credited with extending the conflict much longer, and has been subject to scrutiny in recent times.

Shortly after the loss of the aircraft the formation retreated back from the front lines and landed near Dresa AFB. During this raid, small squadrons of Special Forces Paratroopers from the 1st Areittian army brigade were deployed in the now-destroyed radar blind spots, with the goal of clearing the neutralized air fields and encircling rebels caught between them and the front line during the chaos of the air raid. By morning the SF confirmed the capture of the two destroyed air fields, and captured two rebel camps which were being built near the front line, carving out a multi-kilometer sized chunk from the rebel controlled territory and marking the first territorial gain of government forces. After the SF united with the home guard, the captured rebels were handed over and the combined forces turned back to push forward into the rebel territory. Again, due to the unexpected loss of the three Griffins the scale of the SF deployment was scaled back massively.

Hours later, the first rebel fighter jets had been deployed. Due to the Larrean constitution stipulating that every state must only house one branch of the armed forces in large amounts, the rebels did not manage to acquire any of the advanced stealth fighters, since they were primarily stationed in Salred, with the ones in Alecton being held in the south of the state. However, 30 Z-80EL and 10 Z-90L fighters were captured in the various compromised airfields. Z-80EL's were thus the first to be spotted being deployed by the rebels. The rebel fighters performed a raid on the villages near the front line around 11 AM, with one aircraft striking houses in a town near Ikacci. While home guard troops were equipped with MANPAD's, they did not manage to shoot down any of the rebel fighters. It thus became clear that air superiority had to be established before larger operations could be carried out. The low amount of SF soldiers, although creating a breakthrough in the front line, did not have the expected effect they were thought to have and fighting once again slowed down in the afternoon. Around 5 PM, multiple divisions of the coalition armed forces arrived to the front line, and mobile radar stations and SAM vehicles were set up. The first armoured divisions also arrived, finally providing valuable backup to the now dwindling forces of the home guard. As the day closed, a noticeable buildup of units was seen on both sides of the front line, but due to the lack of rebel munitions and a lack of coalition air superiority no large pushes were made in either direction.

Behind the scenes, air force command were pressuring LAF top brass to deploy the more advanced aircraft within the arsenal, but the unexpectedly high losses of the operation so far discouraged larger scale operations from taking place. After the rebel fighters were spotted conducting successful raids however, the mentality of the command seemed to change. Following careful deliberation, the green light was given for the use of experimental aircraft in the next day of the campaign. It was also now that a new comprehensive plan was drafted for the rest of the operation, which is when the codename '''Concordia''' was given.

=== December 2nd ===
Just before daybreak on the 2nd of December, fighters were once again scrambled from Tria AFB. This time, as part of the new operation, new units were allowed to be deployed. 3 of the as of yet still prototype versions of the SF-3B Cerberus strike fighters are deployed, with their stealth coatings still being freshly adhered onto their airframe. They are joined by 12 SF-2B Griffins, 4 EF-2B Grizzlies, and 3 of the only finished pre-production versions of the SF-3A models. A second wave of 12 Z-90L's is also deployed. They are reinforced by an AWACS aircraft and an aerial refueling is performed in the Forsetti bay. They are tasked with the complete destruction of all radar, SAM and ballistic missile sites as well as the neutralization of all operating airfields, and plan to hit the southwestern portion of the rebel territory.

The Grizzlies lead this combined squadron, followed by the two models of Cerberus. The first run is performed on first daylight. The rebel forces, having expected such an attack had scrambled fighters of their own to patrol the skies. 15 Z-80EL's are spotted by the AWACS, and the coalition force is updated on the situation. The Grizzlies jam all incoming transmissions, giving the go ahead to the Griffins to fire their missiles towards the rebel Z-80's. Simultaneously, the Cerberus-B bombers use this opportunity to penetrate and go full afterburner into the rebel territory, each loaded with ten 1000 kg guided bombs as well as two cruise missiles and multiple anti-radiation missiles. This wall of electric noise, missiles, and bombers hit the rebel fighters all at once. Understanding their situation, they immediately drop altitude and try to assess the threat. Right at that moment however, 10 of the 15 Z-80's are splashed by the missiles. Simultaneously, the Cerberus bombers pass under them, having successfully penetrated the first layer of rebel fighters and radar and rapidly approaching the first targets. The remaining bandits fire off their own missiles, having gotten faint signatures from the Grizzlies. While their attack got off successfully, the Z-80's are hit with the second wave of missiles from the coalition forces, and are all shot out of the sky. The Grizzlies dodge the incoming missiles, which arrived out of energy due to having been fired beyond their effective range. The coalition formation, having stood back and only fired a few missiles, now all charge ahead towards the enemy airspace. The bombers, which at this point had reached their targets, deploy their payloads and turn around. A total of 3 airfields (including the largest one, XXXX air force base), 10 SAM sites, 5 radar installations and 2 missile stations were hit in the attack, crippling the most valuable parts of the rebel air defense. With hundreds of square kilometers now being neutralized, the formation splits up and pushes ahead. The Cerberus bombers are given permission to return back to Salred, while the rest of the formation prepares for the second phase of the attack.
[[File:UBT-1 Column.png|thumb|368x368px|Invictus MBT's headed for the front lines.]]
The massive strike prompted the rebels to scramble all of their remaining aircraft into the skies, not anticipating the scale of the counterattack. As time passes, all remaining 25 fighters of the rebels get up in the air, but are picked off one by one. After half an hour in the sky, all rebel fighters had been neutralized. As the formation is running out of missiles, they perform the last part of the operation and proceed to neutralize the rest of the rebel air defenses, rotating out aircraft as they each run out of munitions or fuel. By 7 AM, all major targets in the rebel controlled area are destroyed. Coalition air dominance is established at last, having lost only one aircraft (a crusader II) with no loss of life. The air operation was the largest since the civil war.

The arrival of mechanized forces during the last night, together with the air strikes, set up the next step of the revised ground operation. Mass coalition artillery fire commenced at 7 AM, now not being in danger of rebel aircraft, and would not stop until 12 hours later and targeting all the rebel encampments near the front line. At 8 AM ''USLS Dresa'' and ''USLS Novum Forsetia'' of the [[New Forsetia class destroyer|New Forsetia class]] launched cruise missiles into the now devoid of defenses rebel territory, neutralizing the final large military installations. All that is left are the military forces at the space port and the major cities, which due to the risk of civillian casualties had been unscathed. Due to this however, many of the rebel forces moved from their positions towards towns and cities, realizing that the coalition won't bomb them if they hide among civilians. By midnight, the armed forces had flattened almost all defensive positions of the rebels. The plains, swamps and jungles of northern Alecton had now become hazy with dust, and reeked of gunpowder. Due to a severe thunderstorm that rolled in shortly after midnight, operations ceased until the following morning due to the already difficult to traverse terrain having become hazardous.

While the coalition forces in the south were clearing a way through the Alecton heartland, another assault was being carried out.

'''Operation Concordia''', also known as the '''2200 Alecton rebellion''', was a military operation performed by the [[Larrea|Larrean Armed Forces]] against a rebelling division of the Alectonese Home Guard. Thought to have been in collaboration with the terrorist [[Thallas Battalion]] group, the rebellion started due to ultra-nationalist cells within the Alectonese Home Guard gaining control of local air force and army bases within north Alecton on the morning of November 30th on Larrean unification day. Numbering around 5 battalions of soldiers totaling 5000 men, 20 armored platoons and 100 various aircraft, it was the largest hostile military uprising on the Forsetti peninsula since the civil war. The rebellion was ended one week later, after the central government assembled a combined task force of all Larrean military divisions under the name ''Concordia'', showcasing the first time combined arms warfare was carried out outside of training exercises.

=== November 30th ===
The attack started at 9 AM with the hijacking of multiple TV stations, each broadcasting the same video; A masked man sitting at a desk with the old civil war era caliphate flag behind him. The broadcast proclaimed the following: <blockquote>''"Good morning patriots.

After the broadcast finished, reports of explosions emerged all over northern Alecton. Government and other federal offices were targeted and all interstate units stationed nearby were captured. The Rebels, who by now were referring to themselves as "''the caliphate''", had effectively cut the northern province of Alecton off from the rest of the republic by the afternoon.

Around this time locally stationed troops engaged in the first large scale firefights with the rebel forces, halting the rebel advance to the outskirts of Ikacci province. A front line was being established, but an estimated 1000 Alectonese home guard troops as well as local law enforcement had already fallen as casualties throughout the day. This loss of life was the largest one since the civil war, and became the single deadliest day of modern Larrean history.

The advance of the rebels had almost completely halted around 10 PM. That evening at exactly 12 PM, the Larrean Armed Forces made their first move.

=== December 1st ===
Shortly after midnight in the early morning of December 1st, 8 [[SPACOM|SF-2B Griffin]] strike fighters from the 3rd Salredi Air Squadron were scrambled from Tria Air Force base in Salred, together with 2 [[SPACOM|EF-2B Grizzly]] electronic warfare aircraft. The combined formation flew north towards the front line in northern Alecton and performed a SEAD run together with a bombing run deep into the controlled area targeting airfields. Rebel radar installations and SAM sites were hit, and the Griffins scored confirmed hits on two airfields near the front line. During the raid however, a few SAM installations managed to get locks onto a number of the Griffins, resulting in three of the fighters being hit and four of the pilots losing their lives. This loss was unexpected but not unforeseen among air force command, considering that Larrean air defence was designed to take down near-peer adversaries, which seemed to have backfired for the [[SPACOM]]-built Griffin fighters. Due to this sudden loss of aircraft, the second wave of fighters to perform penetrating operations was put on hold and air force command was forced to reconsider their next move. This halting of operations due to the loss of the aircraft has been credited with extending the conflict much longer, and has been subject to scrutiny in recent times.

Shortly after the loss of the aircraft the formation retreated back from the front lines and landed near Dresa AFB. During this raid, small squadrons of Special Forces Paratroopers from the 1st Areittian army brigade were deployed in the now-destroyed radar blind spots, with the goal of clearing the neutralized air fields and encircling rebels caught between them and the front line during the chaos of the air raid. By morning the SF confirmed the capture of the two destroyed air fields, and captured two rebel camps which were being built near the front line, carving out a multi-kilometer sized chunk from the rebel controlled territory and marking the first territorial gain of government forces. After the SF united with the home guard, the captured rebels were handed over and the combined forces turned back to push forward into the rebel territory. Again, due to the unexpected loss of the three Griffins the scale of the SF deployment was scaled back massively.

Hours later, the first rebel fighter jets had been deployed. Due to the Larrean constitution stipulating that every state must only house one branch of the armed forces in large amounts, the rebels did not manage to acquire any of the advanced stealth fighters, since they were primarily stationed in Salred, with the ones in Alecton being held in the south of the state. However, 30 Z-80EL and 10 Z-90L fighters were captured in the various compromised airfields. Z-80EL's were thus the first to be spotted being deployed by the rebels. The rebel fighters performed a raid on the villages near the front line around 11 AM, with one aircraft striking houses in a town near Ikacci. While home guard troops were equipped with MANPAD's, they did not manage to shoot down any of the rebel fighters. It thus became clear that air superiority had to be established before larger operations could be carried out. The low amount of SF soldiers, although creating a breakthrough in the front line, did not have the expected effect they were thought to have and fighting once again slowed down in the afternoon. Around 5 PM, multiple divisions of the coalition armed forces arrived to the front line, and mobile radar stations and SAM vehicles were set up. The first armoured divisions also arrived, finally providing valuable backup to the now dwindling forces of the home guard. As the day closed, a noticeable buildup of units was seen on both sides of the front line, but due to the lack of rebel munitions and a lack of coalition air superiority no large pushes were made in either direction.

Behind the scenes, air force command were pressuring LAF top brass to deploy the more advanced aircraft within the arsenal, but the unexpectedly high losses of the operation so far discouraged larger scale operations from taking place. After the rebel fighters were spotted conducting successful raids however, the mentality of the command seemed to change. Following careful deliberation, the green light was given for the use of experimental aircraft in the next day of the campaign. It was also now that a new comprehensive plan was drafted for the rest of the operation, which is when the codename '''Concordia''' was given.

=== December 2nd ===
Just before daybreak on the 2nd of December, fighters were once again scrambled from Tria AFB. This time, as part of the new operation, new units were allowed to be deployed. 3 of the as of yet still prototype versions of the SF-3B Cerberus strike fighters are deployed, with their stealth coatings still being freshly adhered onto their airframe. They are joined by 12 SF-2B Griffins, 4 EF-2B Grizzlies, and 3 of the only finished pre-production versions of the SF-3A models. A second wave of 12 Z-90L's is also deployed. They are reinforced by an AWACS aircraft and an aerial refueling is performed in the Forsetti bay. They are tasked with the complete destruction of all radar, SAM and ballistic missile sites as well as the neutralization of all operating airfields, and plan to hit the southwestern portion of the rebel territory.

The Grizzlies lead this combined squadron, followed by the two models of Cerberus. The first run is performed on first daylight. The rebel forces, having expected such an attack had scrambled fighters of their own to patrol the skies. 15 Z-80EL's are spotted by the AWACS, and the coalition force is updated on the situation. The Grizzlies jam all incoming transmissions, giving the go ahead to the Griffins to fire their missiles towards the rebel Z-80's. Simultaneously, the Cerberus-B bombers use this opportunity to penetrate and go full afterburner into the rebel territory, each loaded with ten 1000 kg guided bombs as well as two cruise missiles and multiple anti-radiation missiles. This wall of electric noise, missiles, and bombers hit the rebel fighters all at once. Understanding their situation, they immediately drop altitude and try to assess the threat. Right at that moment however, 10 of the 15 Z-80's are splashed by the missiles. Simultaneously, the Cerberus bombers pass under them, having successfully penetrated the first layer of rebel fighters and radar and rapidly approaching the first targets. The remaining bandits fire off their own missiles, having gotten faint signatures from the Grizzlies. While their attack got off successfully, the Z-80's are hit with the second wave of missiles from the coalition forces, and are all shot out of the sky. The Grizzlies dodge the incoming missiles, which arrived out of energy due to having been fired beyond their effective range. The coalition formation, having stood back and only fired a few missiles, now all charge ahead towards the enemy airspace. The bombers, which at this point had reached their targets, deploy their payloads and turn around. A total of 3 airfields (including the largest one, XXXX air force base), 10 SAM sites, 5 radar installations and 2 missile stations were hit in the attack, crippling the most valuable parts of the rebel air defense. With hundreds of square kilometers now being neutralized, the formation splits up and pushes ahead. The Cerberus bombers are given permission to return back to Salred, while the rest of the formation prepares for the second phase of the attack.
[[File:UBT-1 Column.png|thumb|368x368px|Invictus MBT's headed for the front lines near Ikacci.]]
The massive strike prompted the rebels to scramble all of their remaining aircraft into the skies, not anticipating the scale of the counterattack. As time passes, all remaining 25 fighters of the rebels get up in the air, but are picked off one by one. After half an hour in the sky, all rebel fighters had been neutralized. As the formation is running out of missiles, they perform the last part of the operation and proceed to neutralize the rest of the rebel air defenses, rotating out aircraft as they each run out of munitions or fuel. By 7 AM, all major targets in the rebel controlled area are destroyed. Coalition air dominance is established at last, having lost only one aircraft (a crusader II) with no loss of life. The air operation was the largest since the civil war.

The arrival of mechanized forces during the last night, together with the air strikes, set up the next step of the revised ground operation. Mass coalition artillery fire commenced at 7 AM, now not being in danger of rebel aircraft, and would not stop until 12 hours later and targeting all the rebel encampments near the front line. At 8 AM ''USLS Dresa'' and ''USLS Novum Forsetia'' of the [[New Forsetia class destroyer|New Forsetia class]] launched cruise missiles into the now devoid of defenses rebel territory, neutralizing the final large military installations. All that is left are the military forces at the space port and the major cities, which due to the risk of civillian casualties had been unscathed. Due to this however, many of the rebel forces moved from their positions towards towns and cities, realizing that the coalition won't bomb them if they hide among civilians. By midnight, the armed forces had flattened almost all defensive positions of the rebels. The plains, swamps and jungles of northern Alecton had now become hazy with dust, and reeked of gunpowder. Due to a severe thunderstorm that rolled in shortly after midnight, operations ceased until the following morning due to the already difficult to traverse terrain having become hazardous.

=== December 3rd ===
[[File:Ajaxnightop.png|thumb|369x369px|A super Ajax deploying tanks at the Alecton Spaceport, shortly before ''The battle of the gates to heaven.'']]
At 5 AM, the weather conditions improved and ground operations could commence once more. While a path had now been cleared, charging forward would not be the optimal strategy. Since most rebel forces had now gone into hiding among civilian populations, the next phase of operation Concordia would be defined by urban combat. The tanks and artillery which had stationed themselves along the southern front line rolled forward, and swift progress was made by the coalition forces. The armored vehicles belonging to the rebels had become inoperable due to a lack of ammunition, supply lines and fuel. Dozens of vehicles lay scattered among the roads, abandoned yet in perfect condition. The highway system proved effective, just as it had facilitated the blitz-attack of the rebels it now provided a direct route through compromised territory. Progressed would only be slowed down due to coalition forces clearing out towns and cities, to recapture and eliminate remaining rebels. As the convoys moved ever further north and as the sun began descending more and more, liberation of settlements slowed down considerably due to increased ferocity in the skirmished within the cities. Where the rebels had surrendered in droves close to the front line, further north their resolve proved more formidable. Tank combat flared up around sunset, as the remaining operable armored divisions of the rebels had moved further north to prepare for defensive engagements against the coalition forces. At 11 PM, the southern coalition forces had reached the shores of the northern bay.

While the coalition forces in the south were clearing a way through the Alecton heartland, another assault was being carried out. During the thunderstorm of the early morning, at 3 AM, amphibious assault ships of the Delrassi fleet had sailed north, and stationed themselves off the coast near the space port. They carried with them multiple landing craft and supply vehicles, as they were preparing for a beach landing. The thunderstorm, which had become a roadblock for the southern front, had provided cover and concealment for the northern assault. Supplementing the amphibious landing, multiple squadrons of paratroopers of the 1st and 2nd Areittian army brigades would once more attempt a landing, this time also targeting the north. Ten LV-700 Super Ajax heavy VTOLs disembarked from their ships, carrying with them a multitude of armoured vehicles and troops. The plan was to capture the space port and liberate northern Alecton, forcing the rebels to fight on two fronts. The operations would commence at sunrise, when conditions were clear.
[[File:Alecton NightOps.png|thumb|368x368px|Paratroopers headed for the Alecton Spaceport, lasers are visible in the background.]]
As the horizon slowly became filled with light, the landing craft raced towards the beaches, and the paratroopers and their vehicles started descending near the runway of the spaceport. While most rebel defenses in the area had been moved towards the south, a formidable force was still present at the space port due to it being spared in the previous day's bombardments. First shots would be fired when the rebels, who had been caught completely off guard, met the coalition special forces while attempting to rearm helicopters near the runway. Simultaneously, the landing craft had deployed almost all their troops and vehicles, and the formation raced towards the spaceport. ''The battle of the gates to heaven'', as the media dubbed it, had officially begun at the space port. Special forces cleared the hangars near the runway and made their way southeast towards the launchpads and the space port facilities, while the amphibious troops with their vehicles made their way towards the defenses at the southwestern portion of the port. Coalition casualties were few, as the special forces had now become used to fighting their former countrymen. The two coalition forces met at the vehicle assembly buildings of the port, and the massive buildings became a temporary prison for all the captured rebels. Vehicles and supplies were exchanged as the forces prepared for rebel reinforcements. Enemy armored vehicles began entering the perimeter of the port, and began engaging coalition forces. Tank-on-tank combat began, and soon the port's facilities began taking damage from the fighting. At 1 PM, nearly 7 hours after the landing, the space port was declared liberated. The Larrean flag was raised on the top of the main VAB, and the caliphate black standard which had waved there for 80 hours was lowered and burned.

Similar to the southern assault, the northern landing and subsequent liberation went quick once the defenses were knocked down. Around afternoon, once all the fighting at the space port concluded, virtually nothing stood between the coalition forces and progressing southward due to the rebels allocating their resources to the southern front. The sparse population of the north made it such that, even though the northern forces had considerably less troops than the southern forces, they made quick work of the northwestern portion Alecton. At 10 PM, northern forces had reached the northern shore of the Alecton bay and had created a spearhead towards the largest settlement of the bay, where most rebel forces by then had retreated to.

'''The United States of Larrea''', also known as '''Larrea''' ''(La-ray-ah)'' or '''Forsetti''', is a country located on the [[Forsetti peninsula]] to the southeast of [[Doren (continent)|Doren,]] in the area known as [[Baskay-Caledon]]. The state of Larrea is a federal presidential constitutional republic, having four states and one special autonomous zone. The state capital is '''New Forsetia''' (''For-see-shah''), located in Delras. The union has a total population of roughly 24 million. It contains some of the largest cities of the region, with the largest being New Forsetia and Ikacci (''E-ka-chi''). The republic was formed after the violent and bloody revolution of 2170, that was followed up by a civil war due to economic and social collapse of the peninsula, tearing up the former nations of Erusia, Delras , Alecton and Forsetti and leading to the deaths of millions. During the revolution, a small military faction in Alecton spearheaded a cause for unification, who had a string of military and social successes which lead to them starting the first drafts of the nation of Larrea shortly thereafter. The date of foundation is to this day still debated, but most agree that the idea of Larrea was started when the [[Unification Front]], now the [[Liberation Front]] political party, was founded, although the first constitution was written in 2175. State independence was held in high regard, and today each of the states have a high level of autonomy. Uniquely, the constitution stated that each of the four original states had to house all or nearly all of each respective military branch. Alecton-Gallante houses the space force, Delras houses the navy, Salred houses the air force and Areittia is home to the army. Notably, South Forsetti is not part of this arrangement because of their late entrance into the republic, although a case could be made that they house [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederate]] military units, completing the five-way military pact.
== Etymology ==
The endonym '''Larrea''' comes from the ancient '''Thalassi''' word for the Forsetti peninsula, ''Lartsuaarreit'', meaning "southern land". Over the centuries the name became more compact and influenced by outside languages, resulting in the later name ''Larrus'' and ''Larreanium'' , eventually becoming ''Larrea''. The name '''Larrea''' became an unoffical name that referred to the Forsetti peninsula, specifically used by members of the Thalassi religion. After the 2170 revolution and civil war the fledgling republic wanted to distance itself from the previous institutions, thus choosing to bring the name back as the official title of the nation as was originally proposed by the unification group. Interestingly, the second part of the word ''Lartsuaarreit'' is also believed to be the origin of the name of ''Erusia'' and ''Areittia,'' although this is still disputed among etymologists.

== The Flag ==
Larrea's flag is a radical departure from the flags that were used historically on the peninsula. After the civil war, a competition was held where everyone in the republic could submit a design to their state government, which would then get sent over to the federal government. This gave the first rendition of the flag in 2176, as well as the design for the seal of the republic. The current design was applied in 2182 by president Azzurri after South Forsetti was formally incorporated into the republic. The Flag of Larrea is built up of three vertical bars, the center bar being blue while the two flanking it are red, with the coat of arms centered in the blue bar. The blue stripe represents hope for the future, as well as the oceans that surround the republic and the skies above all. The red stripes represent the lessons from history and the uncertainty of the future, and the soil of the peninsula. The coat of arms the Forsetian eagle battling the Thalassi kraken above the motto of the republic and five stars. The eagle and kraken both have deep roots within the culture of the peninsula, and their eternal stalemate represents harmony and competition, democracy and theocracy, liberty and dignity and expansion versus enrichment. The motto of the republic also echoes this sentiment. The five stars represent the constituent states that make up the republic. The old flag had the same design but used a stylized icon of the kraken as well as the four stars of the former four states of Larrea. This icon has now become the seal of the government and is used on most federal paperwork and media.

== Geography ==
[[File:Larrea Relief no name final.png|thumb|188x188px|''Geography of the Forsetti peninsula and surroundings.'']]
The shape of the country, considered to be tall and slender, plays a large part in its unique geography. The landscape changes significantly, moving from the shores and jungles of Gary and the Alecton space port, through the bustling metropolis of New Forsetia, through upon the vast fields Delras that feed the nation, through the cold forests of Areittia, and arriving on the frigid shores of South Forsetti. Larrea's topography is marked by the absence of significant mountain ranges, the highest peak located in Alecton-Gallante. Instead, the nation features rolling hills, plateaus, and expansive plains that vary in elevation. The lack of imposing geographical barriers allows for the relatively unrestricted movement of species and the development of unique ecosystems throughout the country. Extensive coastlines along both the western and eastern coasts contribute to Larrea's diverse climate. The northern regions, situated near the equator, experience tropical rainforests, while the southern areas, approaching the South Pole, exhibit colder climates, potentially including tundra or subpolar condition, with the most southern areas being within the arctic circle. Noteworthy is the Forsetti bay, a large body of water that leads to the capital. This bay is the most densely inhabited area in the entire nation, with an estimated 10 million people inhabiting the metropolitan areas surrounding the shores. It is also home to the busiest maritime ports, as well as housing the heart of the Larrean navy.

== States ==

=== Republic of Alecton-Gallante ===
[[File:Alecton.png|left|thumb|174x174px|''Flag of Alecton-Gallante.'']]
The most religious of all the states, the '''Republic of Alecton-Gallante''' has a storied and troubled history, filled with wars, regime changes and devastating losses. The state is distinguished by its profound religiosity, which has both provided solace during times of turmoil and spurred on great achievements. As an integral part of the peninsula, Alecton-Gallante shares the profound maritime heritage that characterizes its neighboring states. Proficiency in naval exploration and fishing is deeply ingrained within its people, a testament to their enduring connection with the surrounding waters. Bolstered by their passionate belief in a storied and sometimes mythical past, the citizens take immense pride in their cultural roots.

Remarkably, Alecton-Gallante has ascended to a position of prominence within the realm of space exploration. Fueled by their religious motivations, the republic has become a preeminent player in the domain of space travel, leveraging this newfound strength to wield considerable influence within the union. Their compelling drive has translated into a robust presence both within the union's legislative body and in various social gatherings, where their fervent ideals have fostered connections and shaped dialogues.

Geographically, the republic's terrain offers a diverse tapestry of landscapes. Within its borders stands the tallest peak found within the entire union. However, this impressive elevation contrasts with the overall flatness that characterizes much of the peninsula. The northern reaches are covered in lush jungles and thriving mangrove forests, an ecological richness that gives way to cultivated farmlands and expansive plains as one journeys southward. The climate is similarly tropical, with large amounts of rainfall in the north and very hot humid summers. Within the sprawling territory, a population of 7.2 million calls Alecton-Gallante home, converging in various urban centers that embody the state's vitality. Also noteworthy is the large population of [[Fegeland|Feguans]] in the state, who arrived on the peninsula centuries before.

At the heart of this spirited republic lies '''Ikacci''', its bustling state capital. With a population numbering 2 million, Ikacci stands as a pivotal urban hub within the union. Its robust populace and vibrant infrastructure make it one of the largest and most dynamic cities within the region. The surrounding areas are also home to some of the largest industrial sectors of the union, with large plants producing high fidelity aerospace grade materials for the military and space industry.
=== Delras ===
[[File:Larrea Delras.png|left|thumb|180x180px|''Flag of Delras.'']]
'''The Federation of Delras''', more commonly known as '''Delras''' stands as the most prominent and influential among the states comprising the union. Its expansive population, totaling a robust 14.4 million residents, serves as a testament to its significance within the larger framework of the nation. Notably, Delras holds the distinction of housing the union's capital, New Forsetia, which mirrors its own substantial population with an impressive count of 4.3 million inhabitants. New Forsetia is distinct from other cities in the union for being a special economic zone, which gives corporations in the city more power and freedom to expand upon their business. This has resulted in the city having the highest average GDP of the union, while also having the highest rates of income inequality in the union. Delras also is home to the Larrean Navy, with the largest military port being the New Forsetia port.

The old capital of '''Dresa''' with a population of 1 million still holds an important position in the state with many of the regional governmental facilities being there. Dresa was home to the final stand of the civil war, and holds a special cultural place within the republic. Many of the older Delrassi residents still staunchly oppose the construction of the capitalist corporate haven which New Forsetia seems to have become and regularly hold protests to move the capital back to Dresa, with some fringe groups even calling for the destruction of New Forsetia.

Politically, Delras occupies a central role, not merely due to its populous cities but also as the custodian of the bulk of Larrea's federal government facilities. The concentrated presence of these pivotal institutions further underscores the state's political weight and command. Nevertheless, the populace's perception of the Delrassi government is mixed. The administration's image is marred by allegations of corruption and bureaucracy, perpetuated by antiquated laws and traditions that, to some, appear incompatible with modern sensibilities. The old communist government is remembered with both hatred and melancholy in the present republic, with many of the older generations having fond memories of the previous government. After the events of 2170, millions of previously Erusian (now Areittian) refugees fled up north to Delras looking for a fresh start to life, together with many many people from neighbouring regions. Since the neighbouring nations were all similar in terms of language and culture this great mix up went smoother than most. What it did result in was Delras becoming the largest and most influential nation due to the population increase. Even though the demographics of Delras were changed massively, the federation still contains the sizeable Blythe community which have lived there for over a century.

However, beyond cultural motifs and political intricacies, Delras boasts a robust economic landscape anchored by its traditional expertise in fishing. It prides itself as the preeminent producer of food and fishing exports throughout the entire union. The state's long-running fishing industry sustains its prominence as a primary contributor to the broader economy. With bountiful access to marine resources, Delras has nurtured a legacy of maritime enterprise that not only feeds its own populace but extends its reach to provide vital sustenance to the entire nation.

Geographically Delras is very flat and lacking of any large mountainous features. The lush agricultural landscape has given rise to a large farming industry, resulting in Larrea as a whole becoming the largest exporter of grain and other goods in the region. The warm gulf in the north gives the northern coast a temperate climate, perfect for agriculture.

=== Salred ===
[[File:Larrea Salred.png|left|thumb|189x189px|''Flag of Salred.'']]
'''The Republic of Salred''', nestled between Areittia and Delras, stands as a pivotal hub for both strategic defence and industrial prowess. Distinguished as the headquarters of the Larrean United Air Force, Salred's strategic significance is underscored by its vast airspace and flat terrain, which accommodates the largest air force base in the region. This geographic advantage has propelled Salred into a preeminent role in the Larrean Air Force, shaping its identity as a guardian of the skies.

The geography is perfectly suited for aviation as was mentioned before. The lack of any major mountains or even large hills makes it the perfect place for industries like farming and large solar and wind energy facilities. Fishing is, just like many of the other states, a large facet of Salred's economy as it has prime access to the Forsetti bay to the west and the ocean to the east. It has a very similar climate to Delras, but more severe storms often pass through Salred originating from the ocean.

With a population of approximately 900,000, Salred exudes a homogenous character that is emblematic of unity amidst diversity. The populace, leaning towards atheism, is recognized for its diligence and industrious spirit. However, this reputation is tinged with perceptions of being humorless and unexciting among their union counterparts. Regardless, Salredis take pride in their technological achievements and domestically manufactured goods, cementing their status as a potent economic force within the union.

Anchored by a thriving economy, Salred is marked by a diversified industrial landscape. The rich expanse of its territorial waters bestows a vibrant fishing industry upon the nation, supplementing its energy and manufacturing sectors. The heartbeat of this industrious nation resonates from its capital city, '''Tria''', where 270,000 souls call home. From its bustling streets to the hum of factories, Tria epitomizes the synergy between urban life and industrial progress.

Salred's political landscape bears the marks of tension and contention. While the nation grapples with an oligarchic regime, dissent and unrest surge through its streets in the form of frequent riots. Yet, this compact nation yields an outsized influence within the union's corridors of power, a testament to its substantial wealth and economic might. As one of the union's financial pillars, Salred commands a significant voice within the union senate, shaping collective decisions and the destiny of the federation.

=== People's Republic of Areittia ===
[[File:Areittia.png|left|thumb|194x194px|''Flag of Areitta.'']]
'''The People's Republic of Areittia''' (''Array-tia, also pronounced Aresia or Arusia in old dialects of Erusi'') otherwise known as '''Areittia''' or the '''PRA''' is the sole socialist state within the union, marked by its distinctive independence, rivaled only by South Forsetti. Emerging as a crucible of transformation shortly after the tumultuous events of the Forsetian unification and the revolution of 2170, Areittia itself underwent a sweeping revolution that redrew its socio-political landscape, away from their previous involvement within the former state of [[Erusia]]. The violent and bloody conflict erupted after the revolution started in Delras, and over a million people perished in what was Erusia as a result of the civil war that took place. Millions more had fled to neighbouring regions. Characterized by a pronounced secular outlook, the state is considered the most atheistic among its counterparts. Despite this, Thalassi Krakenism, once fervently observed by the populace further north, holds minimal sway in the political realm, its influence now largely confined to modest social spheres.

The Areittians themselves stand apart from their northern brethren, marked by a demeanor that reflects their reserved and often chilly environment. This inclination towards introspection mirrors their climate, where mild summers contrast with punishing winters, a climatic duality shaping both character and culture. While the nation is under the continued governance of the ruling socialist party, its once-unassailable popularity wanes progressively as the years unfurl.

Central to Areittia's identity is its integral role in the Larrean army, hosting a substantial portion of its military infrastructure. Despite conscription being a shared norm across the states, Areittia boasts exceptional retention rates among those who continue their service beyond this mandatory period. This phenomenon is attributed to the cultural significance attributed to the role of "warriors" and their dedication to the nation's defense. Home to a population of 5 million Areittia ranks as the third most populous state in the union. The capital city, '''Vemirka''', accommodates 800,000 inhabitants and stands as a nucleus of activity. Notably, it houses the central armory of the union and accommodates a majority of stationed divisions.

Geographically, the landscape is predominantly dominated by taiga forests, interspersed with pockets of tundra to the south. An inclination towards isolationism sets Areittians apart, fostering a distinctive identity that resists assimilation into the larger union. However, rooted in its foundational history, Areittia remains steadfastly loyal and committed to safeguarding Larrea, pledging unwavering defense through any exigencies.

=== Federal Republic of South Forsetti ===
[[File:South Forsetti.png|left|thumb|198x198px|''Flag of South Forsetti.'']]
'''The Federal Republic of South Forsetti''', colloquially known as '''South Forsetti''' or '''Foresti''', stands as the newest member state within the Larrean Republic. Distinguished by its special autonomous zone status, the region plays an integral role in the collective framework of the republic. Originally established as a [[Zokesia|Zokesian]] colony in the 22nd century, South Forsetti emerged as a beacon of hope for displaced Zokesians seeking a fresh start on a new continent following the upheavals of that tumultuous century.

Having changed hands multiple times over nearly two centuries, South Forsetti has steadfastly retained pride in its Zokesian heritage. This cultural continuity led to the development of [[Forsetian Creole]], being a hodgepodge of Zokesian, Arcovii, Delrassi and Erusi. The state, serving as one of the few unscathed areas on the peninsula after 2170, owes its resilience to assistance from the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederacy]]. Despite maintaining a more neutral stance during the conflict, the populace expressed deep sympathy for the hardships faced by those beyond their borders. This sentiment manifested in massive protests and riots demanding the government's active involvement in aiding refugees and supporting restoration efforts.

These protests, occurring both within and outside South Forsetti, culminated in the nation's increased integration into the newly formed republic in 2180. Despite this integration, South Forsetti retains strong ties to the Confederacy and maintains formal membership in many of their organizations. Over the years, the state has progressively aligned itself closer with the Larrean Republic, participating in the Larrean parliament and benefiting from defense provided by a collaborative Larrean and domestic Confederate military coalition. This has resulted in many considering South Forsetti as the unofficial fifth military branch of the republic, due to their unique domestic design language.

The state, with a population of 1.4 million, ranks as the second least inhabited region in the Larrean Republic. This demographic prominence grants South Forsetti significant social and political influence, allowing the introduction of avant-garde ideas to the wider republic. Geographically, the area experiences mild summers and harsh winters, with snow and ice covering substantial portions of the landscape. While slightly more hilly than other regions, the terrain remains predominantly flat.

The largest city, '''Gralenberg''', with a population of 300,000, serves as the hub for governmental and financial institutions. Historically self-sufficient in food and industry due to its long-standing independence, South Forsetti has witnessed a shift since joining the Larrean Republic. Abandoned grain fields, farms, and factories bear witness to this transformation, as many residents have migrated to urban centers in search of service-oriented employment opportunities.

=== Languages ===
While many languages are spoken in the republic, [[Delras|Delrassi]] is by far the most commonly spoken and written. The constitution does not technically have a clause dictating the official language, but since over 80% of the population can natively speak Delrassi it has been unofficially adopted for all government documents and communications. [[Forsetian Creole]] is the second most spoken language, largely due to the state of South Forsetti using it as their main language. All former languages on the Forsetti peninsula were related to eachother, only sharing minor differences in vocabulary and pronounciation. In the 2150's the largest differences in the languages were mostly reorganized and homogenized. Still, the existing speakers of the dialects still insist on their independence. Alectonian, Valerian, Blythe, Salredi and Erusi are thus considered as unofficial languages. The languages that do not originate from the peninsula that are spoken the most are [[Fegeland|Feguan]] and [[Zokesia|Zokesian]]. Feguan is mostly spoken on the northern coast of Alecton, and Zokesian is mostly spoken by the elderly generations in South Forsetti.

=== Military ===
The Larrean armed forces is split up into the army, navy, air force and space force. From 2179 until 2183 the marines were the fifth branch, but they got incorporated into the navy. Each state houses a respective branch, with South Forsetti housing a hybrid defense agreement with the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|confederacy]]. The primary arms manufacturer is [[SPACOM]]. Noteworthy is the controversial [[Thallas Battalion|Thallas battalion]], operating out of Alecton.

Speech by Aurelién Juliano, given the eve of the final battle of Dresa as commander of the city's forces on november 13th 2175 as a response to rumors of mutiny going around the defense forces:<blockquote>''Attention, men.''

''I have been made aware of whispers of despair and mutiny. These are heavy times, and such whispers are not uncommon. But I want to be clear about one thing: I am not a slave to law or order; I chase freedom. Yet, I am not a slave to freedom either. To be a slave to ideals is to be constrained to a singular thought, a singular purpose. We are not slaves to freedom; we are defenders of it.''

''If your heart cannot bear to do an action which defies your instinct or better judgment, it is your right to choose apprehension. If any of you are hesitant to engage in tomorrow's battle, you may hang up your rifle and leave now. You are not my slaves, and you are not the slaves of our dream.''

''But before you do, consider this. My grandfather used to tell me whenever I was scared of the dark that it was not the torch I held in my hand which scared the monsters of the abyss, but the act of holding on to the torch that drove them away.''

''We are outgunned. We are running out of ammunition. Your armor is falling apart. You have broken bones. We are facing certain death. We are not just staring directly at the darkness; we are completely surrounded by it. Our torch is broken and running out of light.''

''But my grandfather was no gullible man. I understood what he meant. We may be outgunned, we may be running out of ammunition, and our armor may be falling apart. We may have broken bones, but what will never break is the will of a man with a dream. We must hold on to the torch. Clench it tightly. The torch shall not be extinguished by death; even beyond death, we pass on the torch.''

''We stand on the shoulders of our fallen comrades, not because we were lucky, but because they have entrusted us to carry on their legacy. They have passed us the torch. The torch burns with the fire of your hearts. To leave the torch behind is to forget the dead, to forget they were even there.''

''We joined the front because the darkness took our homes from us. We joined the front to build our new home. Any home needs a foundation. This home is built on our shoulders, brick by brick. It was because we held on to the torch that we made it here. We fought off the fascists in Alecton. We fought the communists in Erusia. We fought the foreign legions in Tria and liberated Salred. We liberated Delras. We didn't do this because of dumb luck. The hands of the dead placed the bricks we stand on now. We won't just drive the darkness away; we will build our home. Because even if we die, we built the foundations for our children to play on.''

''So I must ask you all again. If you wish to give up the fight, leave now. May Thallas have mercy on our souls. Because even if you will not, Dresa will stand.'' </blockquote>This speech, known colloquially as the [[Decree of Dresa]], has since then been referenced frequently in Larrean literature and media. The words "Dresa will stand" has become the city's motto. The same words are also etched on the navy ship [[USLS Dresa]].

=== Unification ===
2176

Unification front, rebranded to Liberation front, incorporate the remaining factions into the union. States are drawn, the senate and house of representatives is created, and the military is formed. Juliano, leader of the UF since 2172, is elected president in the first election in 2176 as head of the Liberation Front party.

Many parts of the unification were deeply unpopular with certain groups of people within the republic. Especially in the deep north and south it was met with riots and general chaos, and only relented after years of incorporation programs and domestic immigration. The following quote is an interview with an 80 year old veteran and former commander of the communist forces of what is now Areittia: <blockquote>'''''As one of the most decorated veterans of the republic, how did you end up on this remote farm?'''''

''I live a simple life now really. Unlike people the capal don't hold grudges. I got into raising them due to my uncle, who was Sahren. The steppe may look harsh but once you get to really know the landscape it has a simplistic beauty to it. Considering this government has done nothing for me i feel i owe it nothing in return.''

'''''You have been through many events that shaped not only this peninsula, but the entire planet. As many people may know you refused to take the position of minister of defense of the republic. What is your outlook on the current state of Larrea?'''''

''A friend of mine once said that people only care about what you have to say when you have reached the final page of your book. My opinion on these sorts of matters is no more important than any other citizen. You journalists are all the same. You drive all the way here just to ask me this? Then i will tell you this. The foundations of the nation we now reside in are built on lies. Every banner that springs up is no more than paint on cloth. I have shed blood for many banners, and have lost countless comrades to these ideologies. I have concluded that it is meaningless. These banners are only used to wrap around our necks and hang us in the gallows of ignorance. Once upon a time i believed in the power of these banners, and i devoted my life to fighting for them. I gave my fullest for them, and saw the death and destruction that followed as necessary evils for the greater good of the country. But the greater good never gave me anything back, except the coffins of my people. Erusia was built on lies, Doren was built on lies, Panka was built on lies, Forsetti was built on lies, and the cycle only continues now. Everything i fought for only gave me pain and regret in return. Those Delrassi snakes have the gall to kill thousands of my men and then ask me to be part of their government? Did they fall off their capal or something? All these medals they send me won't convince me otherwise, you may as well be pissing on the graves of me and my comrades. The least i can do is spit on their authority. And the Delrats send their pawns to me asking for forgiveness? Go and ask that god of yours for forgiveness for all those you have and continue to kill.''

'''''Thank you sir for your service and your answers, we will be concluding this interview.'''''

''My pleasure, Delrat.'' </blockquote>

'''The United States of Larrea''', also known as '''Larrea''' ''(La-ray-ah)'' or '''Forsetti''', is a country located on the [[Forsetti peninsula]] to the southeast of [[Doren (continent)|Doren,]] in the area known as [[Baskay-Caledon]]. The state of Larrea is a federal presidential constitutional republic, having four states and one special autonomous zone. The state capital is '''New Forsetia''' (''For-see-shah''), located in Delras. The union has a total population of roughly 29 million. It contains some of the largest cities of the region, with the largest being New Forsetia and Ikacci (''E-ka-chi''). The republic was formed after the violent and bloody revolution of 2170, that was followed up by a civil war due to economic and social collapse of the peninsula, tearing up the former nations of Erusia, Delras , Alecton and Forsetti and leading to the deaths of millions. During the revolution, a small military faction in Alecton spearheaded a cause for unification, who had a string of military and social successes which lead to them starting the first drafts of the nation of Larrea shortly thereafter. The date of foundation is to this day still debated, but most agree that the idea of Larrea was started when the [[Unification Front]], now the [[Liberation Front]] political party, was founded, although the first constitution was written in 2175. State independence was held in high regard, and today each of the states have a high level of autonomy. Uniquely, the constitution stated that each of the four original states had to house all or nearly all of each respective military branch. Alecton-Gallante houses the space force, Delras houses the navy, Salred houses the air force and Areittia is home to the army. Notably, South Forsetti is not part of this arrangement because of their late entrance into the republic, although a case could be made that they house [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederate]] military units, completing the five-way military pact.
== Etymology ==
The endonym '''Larrea''' comes from the ancient '''Thalassi''' word for the Forsetti peninsula, ''Lartsuaarreit'', meaning "southern land". Over the centuries the name became more compact and influenced by outside languages, resulting in the later name ''Larrus'' and ''Larreanium'' , eventually becoming ''Larrea''. The name '''Larrea''' became an unoffical name that referred to the Forsetti peninsula, specifically used by members of the Thalassi religion. After the 2170 revolution and civil war the fledgling republic wanted to distance itself from the previous institutions, thus choosing to bring the name back as the official title of the nation as was originally proposed by the unification group. Interestingly, the second part of the word ''Lartsuaarreit'' is also believed to be the origin of the name of ''Erusia'' and ''Areittia,'' although this is still disputed among etymologists.

== The Flag ==
Larrea's flag is a radical departure from the flags that were used historically on the peninsula. After the civil war, a competition was held where everyone in the republic could submit a design to their state government, which would then get sent over to the federal government. This gave the first rendition of the flag in 2176, as well as the design for the seal of the republic. The current design was applied in 2182 by president Azzurri after South Forsetti was formally incorporated into the republic. The Flag of Larrea is built up of three vertical bars, the center bar being blue while the two flanking it are red, with the coat of arms centered in the blue bar. The blue stripe represents hope for the future, as well as the oceans that surround the republic and the skies above all. The red stripes represent the lessons from history and the uncertainty of the future, and the soil of the peninsula. The coat of arms the Forsetian eagle battling the Thalassi kraken above the motto of the republic and five stars. The eagle and kraken both have deep roots within the culture of the peninsula, and their eternal stalemate represents harmony and competition, democracy and theocracy, liberty and dignity and expansion versus enrichment. The motto of the republic also echoes this sentiment. The five stars represent the constituent states that make up the republic. The old flag had the same design but used a stylized icon of the kraken as well as the four stars of the former four states of Larrea. This icon has now become the seal of the government and is used on most federal paperwork and media.

== Geography ==
[[File:Larrea Relief no name final.png|thumb|188x188px|''Geography of the Forsetti peninsula and surroundings.'']]
The shape of the country, considered to be tall and slender, plays a large part in its unique geography. The landscape changes significantly, moving from the shores and jungles of Gary and the Alecton space port, through the bustling metropolis of New Forsetia, through upon the vast fields Delras that feed the nation, through the cold forests of Areittia, and arriving on the frigid shores of South Forsetti. Larrea's topography is marked by the absence of significant mountain ranges, the highest peak located in Alecton-Gallante. Instead, the nation features rolling hills, plateaus, and expansive plains that vary in elevation. The lack of imposing geographical barriers allows for the relatively unrestricted movement of species and the development of unique ecosystems throughout the country. Extensive coastlines along both the western and eastern coasts contribute to Larrea's diverse climate. The northern regions, situated near the equator, experience tropical rainforests, while the southern areas, approaching the South Pole, exhibit colder climates, potentially including tundra or subpolar condition, with the most southern areas being within the arctic circle. Noteworthy is the Forsetti bay, a large body of water that leads to the capital. This bay is the most densely inhabited area in the entire nation, with an estimated 10 million people inhabiting the metropolitan areas surrounding the shores. It is also home to the busiest maritime ports, as well as housing the heart of the Larrean navy.

== States ==

=== Republic of Alecton-Gallante ===
[[File:Alecton.png|left|thumb|174x174px|''Flag of Alecton-Gallante.'']]
The most religious of all the states, the '''Republic of Alecton-Gallante''' has a storied and troubled history, filled with wars, regime changes and devastating losses. The state is distinguished by its profound religiosity, which has both provided solace during times of turmoil and spurred on great achievements. As an integral part of the peninsula, Alecton-Gallante shares the profound maritime heritage that characterizes its neighboring states. Proficiency in naval exploration and fishing is deeply ingrained within its people, a testament to their enduring connection with the surrounding waters. Bolstered by their passionate belief in a storied and sometimes mythical past, the citizens take immense pride in their cultural roots.

Remarkably, Alecton-Gallante has ascended to a position of prominence within the realm of space exploration. Fueled by their religious motivations, the republic has become a preeminent player in the domain of space travel, leveraging this newfound strength to wield considerable influence within the union. Their compelling drive has translated into a robust presence both within the union's legislative body and in various social gatherings, where their fervent ideals have fostered connections and shaped dialogues.

Geographically, the republic's terrain offers a diverse tapestry of landscapes. Within its borders stands the tallest peak found within the entire union. However, this impressive elevation contrasts with the overall flatness that characterizes much of the peninsula. The northern reaches are covered in lush jungles and thriving mangrove forests, an ecological richness that gives way to cultivated farmlands and expansive plains as one journeys southward. The climate is similarly tropical, with large amounts of rainfall in the north and very hot humid summers. Within the sprawling territory, a population of 7.2 million calls Alecton-Gallante home, converging in various urban centers that embody the state's vitality. Also noteworthy is the large population of [[Fegeland|Feguans]] in the state, who arrived on the peninsula centuries before.

At the heart of this spirited republic lies '''Ikacci''', its bustling state capital. With a population numbering 2 million, Ikacci stands as a pivotal urban hub within the union. Its robust populace and vibrant infrastructure make it one of the largest and most dynamic cities within the region. The surrounding areas are also home to some of the largest industrial sectors of the union, with large plants producing high fidelity aerospace grade materials for the military and space industry.
=== Delras ===
[[File:Larrea Delras.png|left|thumb|180x180px|''Flag of Delras.'']]
'''The Federation of Delras''', more commonly known as '''Delras''' stands as the most prominent and influential among the states comprising the union. Its expansive population, totaling a robust 14.4 million residents, serves as a testament to its significance within the larger framework of the nation. Notably, Delras holds the distinction of housing the union's capital, New Forsetia, which mirrors its own substantial population with an impressive count of 4.3 million inhabitants. New Forsetia is distinct from other cities in the union for being a special economic zone, which gives corporations in the city more power and freedom to expand upon their business. This has resulted in the city having the highest average GDP of the union, while also having the highest rates of income inequality in the union. Delras also is home to the Larrean Navy, with the largest military port being the New Forsetia port.

The old capital of '''Dresa''' with a population of 1 million still holds an important position in the state with many of the regional governmental facilities being there. Dresa was home to the final stand of the civil war, and holds a special cultural place within the republic. Many of the older Delrassi residents still staunchly oppose the construction of the capitalist corporate haven which New Forsetia seems to have become and regularly hold protests to move the capital back to Dresa, with some fringe groups even calling for the destruction of New Forsetia.

Politically, Delras occupies a central role, not merely due to its populous cities but also as the custodian of the bulk of Larrea's federal government facilities. The concentrated presence of these pivotal institutions further underscores the state's political weight and command. Nevertheless, the populace's perception of the Delrassi government is mixed. The administration's image is marred by allegations of corruption and bureaucracy, perpetuated by antiquated laws and traditions that, to some, appear incompatible with modern sensibilities. The old communist government is remembered with both hatred and melancholy in the present republic, with many of the older generations having fond memories of the previous government. After the events of 2170, millions of previously Erusian (now Areittian) refugees fled up north to Delras looking for a fresh start to life, together with many many people from neighbouring regions. Since the neighbouring nations were all similar in terms of language and culture this great mix up went smoother than most. What it did result in was Delras becoming the largest and most influential nation due to the population increase. Even though the demographics of Delras were changed massively, the federation still contains the sizeable Blythe community which have lived there for over a century.

However, beyond cultural motifs and political intricacies, Delras boasts a robust economic landscape anchored by its traditional expertise in fishing. It prides itself as the preeminent producer of food and fishing exports throughout the entire union. The state's long-running fishing industry sustains its prominence as a primary contributor to the broader economy. With bountiful access to marine resources, Delras has nurtured a legacy of maritime enterprise that not only feeds its own populace but extends its reach to provide vital sustenance to the entire nation.

Geographically Delras is very flat and lacking of any large mountainous features. The lush agricultural landscape has given rise to a large farming industry, resulting in Larrea as a whole becoming the largest exporter of grain and other goods in the region. The warm gulf in the north gives the northern coast a temperate climate, perfect for agriculture.

=== Salred ===
[[File:Larrea Salred.png|left|thumb|189x189px|''Flag of Salred.'']]
'''The Republic of Salred''', nestled between Areittia and Delras, stands as a pivotal hub for both strategic defence and industrial prowess. Distinguished as the headquarters of the Larrean United Air Force, Salred's strategic significance is underscored by its vast airspace and flat terrain, which accommodates the largest air force base in the region. This geographic advantage has propelled Salred into a preeminent role in the Larrean Air Force, shaping its identity as a guardian of the skies.

The geography is perfectly suited for aviation as was mentioned before. The lack of any major mountains or even large hills makes it the perfect place for industries like farming and large solar and wind energy facilities. Fishing is, just like many of the other states, a large facet of Salred's economy as it has prime access to the Forsetti bay to the west and the ocean to the east. It has a very similar climate to Delras, but more severe storms often pass through Salred originating from the ocean.

With a population of approximately 900,000, Salred exudes a homogenous character that is emblematic of unity amidst diversity. The populace, leaning towards atheism, is recognized for its diligence and industrious spirit. However, this reputation is tinged with perceptions of being humorless and unexciting among their union counterparts. Regardless, Salredis take pride in their technological achievements and domestically manufactured goods, cementing their status as a potent economic force within the union.

Anchored by a thriving economy, Salred is marked by a diversified industrial landscape. The rich expanse of its territorial waters bestows a vibrant fishing industry upon the nation, supplementing its energy and manufacturing sectors. The heartbeat of this industrious nation resonates from its capital city, '''Tria''', where 270,000 souls call home. From its bustling streets to the hum of factories, Tria epitomizes the synergy between urban life and industrial progress.

Salred's political landscape bears the marks of tension and contention. While the nation grapples with an oligarchic regime, dissent and unrest surge through its streets in the form of frequent riots. Yet, this compact nation yields an outsized influence within the union's corridors of power, a testament to its substantial wealth and economic might. As one of the union's financial pillars, Salred commands a significant voice within the union senate, shaping collective decisions and the destiny of the federation.

=== People's Republic of Areittia ===
[[File:Areittia.png|left|thumb|194x194px|''Flag of Areitta.'']]
'''The People's Republic of Areittia''' (''Array-tia, also pronounced Aresia or Arusia in old dialects of Erusi'') otherwise known as '''Areittia''' or the '''PRA''' is the sole socialist state within the union, marked by its distinctive independence, rivaled only by South Forsetti. Emerging as a crucible of transformation shortly after the tumultuous events of the Forsetian unification and the revolution of 2170, Areittia itself underwent a sweeping revolution that redrew its socio-political landscape, away from their previous involvement within the former state of [[Erusia]]. The violent and bloody conflict erupted after the revolution started in Delras, and over a million people perished in what was Erusia as a result of the civil war that took place. Millions more had fled to neighbouring regions. Characterized by a pronounced secular outlook, the state is considered the most atheistic among its counterparts. Despite this, Thalassi Krakenism, once fervently observed by the populace further north, holds minimal sway in the political realm, its influence now largely confined to modest social spheres.

The Areittians themselves stand apart from their northern brethren, marked by a demeanor that reflects their reserved and often chilly environment. This inclination towards introspection mirrors their climate, where mild summers contrast with punishing winters, a climatic duality shaping both character and culture. While the nation is under the continued governance of the ruling socialist party, its once-unassailable popularity wanes progressively as the years unfurl.

Central to Areittia's identity is its integral role in the Larrean army, hosting a substantial portion of its military infrastructure. Despite conscription being a shared norm across the states, Areittia boasts exceptional retention rates among those who continue their service beyond this mandatory period. This phenomenon is attributed to the cultural significance attributed to the role of "warriors" and their dedication to the nation's defense. Home to a population of 5 million Areittia ranks as the third most populous state in the union. The capital city, '''Vemirka''', accommodates 800,000 inhabitants and stands as a nucleus of activity. Notably, it houses the central armory of the union and accommodates a majority of stationed divisions.

Geographically, the landscape is predominantly dominated by taiga forests, interspersed with pockets of tundra to the south. An inclination towards isolationism sets Areittians apart, fostering a distinctive identity that resists assimilation into the larger union. However, rooted in its foundational history, Areittia remains steadfastly loyal and committed to safeguarding Larrea, pledging unwavering defense through any exigencies.

=== Federal Republic of South Forsetti ===
[[File:South Forsetti.png|left|thumb|198x198px|''Flag of South Forsetti.'']]
'''The Federal Republic of South Forsetti''', colloquially known as '''South Forsetti''' or '''Foresti''', stands as the newest member state within the Larrean Republic. Distinguished by its special autonomous zone status, the region plays an integral role in the collective framework of the republic. Originally established as a [[Zokesia|Zokesian]] colony in the 22nd century, South Forsetti emerged as a beacon of hope for displaced Zokesians seeking a fresh start on a new continent following the upheavals of that tumultuous century.

Having changed hands multiple times over nearly two centuries, South Forsetti has steadfastly retained pride in its Zokesian heritage. This cultural continuity led to the development of [[Forsetian Creole]], being a hodgepodge of Zokesian, Arcovii, Delrassi and Erusi. The state, serving as one of the few unscathed areas on the peninsula after 2170, owes its resilience to assistance from the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederacy]]. Despite maintaining a more neutral stance during the conflict, the populace expressed deep sympathy for the hardships faced by those beyond their borders. This sentiment manifested in massive protests and riots demanding the government's active involvement in aiding refugees and supporting restoration efforts.

These protests, occurring both within and outside South Forsetti, culminated in the nation's increased integration into the newly formed republic in 2180. Despite this integration, South Forsetti retains strong ties to the Confederacy and maintains formal membership in many of their organizations. Over the years, the state has progressively aligned itself closer with the Larrean Republic, participating in the Larrean parliament and benefiting from defense provided by a collaborative Larrean and domestic Confederate military coalition. This has resulted in many considering South Forsetti as the unofficial fifth military branch of the republic, due to their unique domestic design language.

The state, with a population of 1.4 million, ranks as the second least inhabited region in the Larrean Republic. This demographic prominence grants South Forsetti significant social and political influence, allowing the introduction of avant-garde ideas to the wider republic. Geographically, the area experiences mild summers and harsh winters, with snow and ice covering substantial portions of the landscape. While slightly more hilly than other regions, the terrain remains predominantly flat.

The largest city, '''Gralenberg''', with a population of 300,000, serves as the hub for governmental and financial institutions. Historically self-sufficient in food and industry due to its long-standing independence, South Forsetti has witnessed a shift since joining the Larrean Republic. Abandoned grain fields, farms, and factories bear witness to this transformation, as many residents have migrated to urban centers in search of service-oriented employment opportunities.

== Politics ==

=== Government ===
Larrea functions as a federal republic, with two legislative bodies. The senate, otherwise known as the first body, is the upper body, consisting of 50 members. The house of representatives, otherwise known as the lower body, consists of 200 members.

As of 2200, the acting president is Florenzi Montano.

=== Foreign Relations ===
Connected with the [[Larrean-Ikonic Super Highway|Larrean-Ikonic superhighway]] and the [[Larrikonic Junnel|Junnel]] to [[Ikonia]].

=== Languages ===
While many languages are spoken in the republic, [[Delras|Delrassi]] is by far the most commonly spoken and written. The constitution does not technically have a clause dictating the official language, but since over 80% of the population can natively speak Delrassi it has been unofficially adopted for all government documents and communications. [[Forsetian Creole]] is the second most spoken language, largely due to the state of South Forsetti using it as their main language. All former languages on the Forsetti peninsula were related to eachother, only sharing minor differences in vocabulary and pronounciation. In the 2150's the largest differences in the languages were mostly reorganized and homogenized. Still, the existing speakers of the dialects still insist on their independence. Alectonian, Valerian, Blythe, Salredi and Erusi are thus considered as unofficial languages. The languages that do not originate from the peninsula that are spoken the most are [[Fegeland|Feguan]] and [[Zokesia|Zokesian]]. Feguan is mostly spoken on the northern coast of Alecton, and Zokesian is mostly spoken by the elderly generations in South Forsetti.

=== Military ===
The Larrean armed forces is split up into the army, navy, air force and space force. From 2179 until 2183 the marines were the fifth branch, but they got incorporated into the navy. Each state houses a respective branch, with South Forsetti housing a hybrid defense agreement with the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|confederacy]]. The primary arms manufacturer is [[SPACOM]]. Noteworthy is the controversial [[Thallas Battalion|Thallas battalion]], operating out of Alecton.

Speech by Aurelién Juliano, given the eve of the final battle of Dresa as commander of the city's forces on november 13th 2175 as a response to rumors of mutiny going around the defense forces:<blockquote>''Attention, men.''

''I have been made aware of whispers of despair and mutiny. These are heavy times, and such whispers are not uncommon. But I want to be clear about one thing: I am not a slave to law or order; I chase freedom. Yet, I am not a slave to freedom either. To be a slave to ideals is to be constrained to a singular thought, a singular purpose. We are not slaves to freedom; we are defenders of it.''

''If your heart cannot bear to do an action which defies your instinct or better judgment, it is your right to choose apprehension. If any of you are hesitant to engage in tomorrow's battle, you may hang up your rifle and leave now. You are not my slaves, and you are not the slaves of our dream.''

''But before you do, consider this. My grandfather used to tell me whenever I was scared of the dark that it was not the torch I held in my hand which scared the monsters of the abyss, but the act of holding on to the torch that drove them away.''

''We are outgunned. We are running out of ammunition. Your armor is falling apart. You have broken bones. We are facing certain death. We are not just staring directly at the darkness; we are completely surrounded by it. Our torch is broken and running out of light.''

''But my grandfather was no gullible man. I understood what he meant. We may be outgunned, we may be running out of ammunition, and our armor may be falling apart. We may have broken bones, but what will never break is the will of a man with a dream. We must hold on to the torch. Clench it tightly. The torch shall not be extinguished by death; even beyond death, we pass on the torch.''

''We stand on the shoulders of our fallen comrades, not because we were lucky, but because they have entrusted us to carry on their legacy. They have passed us the torch. The torch burns with the fire of your hearts. To leave the torch behind is to forget the dead, to forget they were even there.''

''We joined the front because the darkness took our homes from us. We joined the front to build our new home. Any home needs a foundation. This home is built on our shoulders, brick by brick. It was because we held on to the torch that we made it here. We fought off the fascists in Alecton. We fought the communists in Erusia. We fought the foreign legions in Tria and liberated Salred. We liberated Delras. We didn't do this because of dumb luck. The hands of the dead placed the bricks we stand on now. We won't just drive the darkness away; we will build our home. Because even if we die, we built the foundations for our children to play on.''

''So I must ask you all again. If you wish to give up the fight, leave now. May Thallas have mercy on our souls. Because even if you will not, Dresa will stand.'' </blockquote>This speech, known colloquially as the [[Decree of Dresa]], has since then been referenced frequently in Larrean literature and media. The words "Dresa will stand" has become the city's motto. The same words are also etched on the navy ship [[USLS Dresa]].

=== Unification ===
2176

Unification front, rebranded to Liberation front, incorporate the remaining factions into the union. States are drawn, the senate and house of representatives is created, and the military is formed. Juliano, leader of the UF since 2172, is elected president in the first election in 2176 as head of the Liberation Front party.

Many parts of the unification were deeply unpopular with certain groups of people within the republic. Especially in the deep north and south it was met with riots and general chaos, and only relented after years of incorporation programs and domestic immigration. The following quote is an interview with an 80 year old veteran and former commander of the communist forces of what is now Areittia: <blockquote>'''''As one of the most decorated veterans of the republic, how did you end up on this remote farm?'''''

''I live a simple life now really. Unlike people the capal don't hold grudges. I got into raising them due to my uncle, who was Sahren. The steppe may look harsh but once you get to really know the landscape it has a simplistic beauty to it. Considering this government has done nothing for me i feel i owe it nothing in return.''

'''''You have been through many events that shaped not only this peninsula, but the entire planet. As many people may know you refused to take the position of minister of defense of the republic. What is your outlook on the current state of Larrea?'''''

''A friend of mine once said that people only care about what you have to say when you have reached the final page of your book. My opinion on these sorts of matters is no more important than any other citizen. You journalists are all the same. You drive all the way here just to ask me this? Then i will tell you this. The foundations of the nation we now reside in are built on lies. Every banner that springs up is no more than paint on cloth. I have shed blood for many banners, and have lost countless comrades to these ideologies. I have concluded that it is meaningless. These banners are only used to wrap around our necks and hang us in the gallows of ignorance. Once upon a time i believed in the power of these banners, and i devoted my life to fighting for them. I gave my fullest for them, and saw the death and destruction that followed as necessary evils for the greater good of the country. But the greater good never gave me anything back, except the coffins of my people. Erusia was built on lies, Doren was built on lies, Panka was built on lies, Forsetti was built on lies, and the cycle only continues now. Everything i fought for only gave me pain and regret in return. Those Delrassi snakes have the gall to kill thousands of my men and then ask me to be part of their government? Did they fall off their capal or something? All these medals they send me won't convince me otherwise, you may as well be pissing on the graves of me and my comrades. The least i can do is spit on their authority. And the Delrats send their pawns to me asking for forgiveness? Go and ask that god of yours for forgiveness for all those you have and continue to kill.''

'''''Thank you sir for your service and your answers, we will be concluding this interview.'''''

''My pleasure, Delrat.'' </blockquote>

==== LV-300 ====
The '''LV-300 Ajax''' is the largest among the standard LV series aircraft. It features four tilting rotors, in a tandem wing configuration. It has an opening cargo bay door in the rear, allowing it to quickly unload a variety of payloads, be they simple logistical loads or live deployments of armoured vehicles. It has reccomended payload rating of 300 tons, with higher loads being possible with specific models. It has a maximum speed of 120 m/s. The aircraft was developed out of a necessity for large high-capacity transports which could be fielded on any airfield or ship. The Ajax was accepted into Larrean service in 2195, initially for use by the army to transport heavy loads such as tanks. Over the years a few different variants have been developed out of the baseline model, among which are a navy version and a ground attack variant.
==== LV-700 ====
[[File:Ajaxnightop.png|thumb|A super Ajax deploying tanks during ''The battle of the gates to heaven'', [[Operation Concordia]]|369x369px]]
The '''LV-700 Super Ajax''' is a specialized variant of the normal Ajax, but it features four improved [[Mureșean-Zochescu]] counter rotating turboprops, giving it a colossal maximum takeoff mass of 700 tons. Just like the regular Ajax, it features multi-role capabilities such as external pylons for mounting sensors and ordinance to, as well as airdrop capability. The increased takeoff mass does sacrifice range and some maneuverability, but the Super Ajax can hit a top speed of 125 m/s. The development of the LV-700 ran parallel to the 300, as Austral expected a demand for an even heavier lifter. This was initially heavily lobbied against by higherups in SPACOM, but after preorders for the Super Ajax started coming in from the Larrean and foreign militaries these voices were put to rest. The Super Ajax passed trials in 2196, and it alongside the Ajax saw service in [[Operation Concordia]].

'''Operation Concordia''', also known as the '''2200 Alecton rebellion''', was a military operation performed by the [[Larrea|Larrean Armed Forces]] against a rebelling division of the Alectonese Home Guard. Thought to have been in collaboration with the terrorist [[Thallas Battalion]] group, the rebellion started due to ultra-nationalist cells within the Alectonese Home Guard gaining control of local air force and army bases within north Alecton on the morning of November 30th on Larrean unification day. Numbering around 5 battalions of soldiers totaling 5000 men, 20 armored platoons and 100 various aircraft, it was the largest hostile military uprising on the Forsetti peninsula since the civil war. The rebellion was ended one week later, after the central government assembled a combined task force of all Larrean military divisions under the name ''Concordia'', showcasing the first time combined arms warfare was carried out outside of training exercises.

== Background ==
[[File:Concordia map(1).png|thumb|Map of all rebel territory gained and lost during the operation, as well as the air raid of December 2nd. |453x453px]]
Alectonese Nationalism has historically been a problem within the Larrean Republic, ever since the Unification Front defeated the Caliphate forces during the Forsetti Civil War. Fundementalist Thalassi Krakenism thrives within the rural communities in the densely forested north of the country. Many terrorist organizations and extremist groups within the republic have originated from these deeply religious parts of Alecton-Gallante, but they have historically been dealt with relatively easily by local law enforcement and intelligence. The exception to this rule has been the Thallas Battalion, which has managed to escape from the mainland and has fled the reaches of Larrean law.

The attacks came only days after a Larrean Navy destroyer went missing in the arctic, which had reports of being compromised by Thallas. Journalists were given conflicting answers regarding a Larrean Navy lifeboat that was found near an area where signs of a battle between Thallas and the arctic pirates was detected, with certain sources claiming that a note was found threatening a declaration of war by Thallas and other sources speculating that the pirates were behind it. Since the incident is still classified, it is not publicly known whether or not the government knew of the attacks prior to the 30th.

== Timeline ==

=== November 30th ===
The attack started at 9 AM with the hijacking of multiple TV stations, each broadcasting the same video; A masked man sitting at a desk with the old civil war era caliphate flag behind him. The broadcast proclaimed the following: <blockquote>''"Good morning patriots. As we enlightened ones know, the Larrean government is a fascist dictatorship run by a corrupt puppet controlled by corporations. The people have lost their morality and are straying away from Thallas (God). Our ancestral lands beyond our borders are controlled by foreign governments and must be liberated. On this day, 30 years ago, our dream of a caliphate united under the holy law of Thallas was destroyed by the demonic vermin of Delras. Our dream lived on however. Today, we reject the control of the devil. We will show our devotion to Him, and we will build our kingdom. So i proclaim to you, rise up, so we can build our kingdom in heaven and join our ancestors who went through the portal so many years ago. Thallas Vincit Omnia".'' </blockquote>It is now believed that this hijacking was performed by the Thallas Battalion, and that the masked figure speaking was their leader known as the [[Allfather]] who is considered as the most wanted man in the peninsula with a reward of 10 million Forsa to anyone who can provide information on the man.

After the broadcast finished, reports of explosions emerged all over northern Alecton. Government and other federal offices were targeted and all interstate units stationed nearby were captured. The Rebels, who by now were referring to themselves as "''the caliphate''", had effectively cut the northern province of Alecton off from the rest of the republic by the afternoon. Captured armoured units and aircraft were patrolling the ground and skies, and reports were made that missiles came flying in off the northern coast of Alecton. Radar stations and SAM sites were also compromised, hindering a swift counterattack from government forces. During the TV Hijacking, a large scale cyberattack was also performed by the rebels, rendering many government websites as well as media applications inoperable. Military installations were also targeted, with communications being cut by the hackers. Compromised armoured units promptly moved south, but stopped after a few dozen kilometers due to a loss of order within the rebel command as conflicting orders were being given on where to advance. This chaos was absolved after a few hours, and the front line moved south rapidly approaching the capital of Ikacci. The space port in the north was also taken over, with little to no violence being involved.

At 6 PM a swarm of suicide drones came flying into [[Larrea|Ikacci]] province, and one hit an appartment complex in the Ikacci suburbs. Come evening, a press release was issued by the central government in New Forsetia, with president Montano stating that this show of rebellion is unacceptable and that the insurgency will be dealt with swiftly. Around this time locally stationed troops engaged in the first large scale firefights with the rebel forces, halting the rebel advance to the outskirts of Ikacci province. A front line was being established, but an estimated 1000 Alectonese home guard troops as well as local law enforcement had already fallen as casualties throughout the day. This loss of life was the largest one since the civil war, and became the single deadliest day of modern Larrean history.

The advance of the rebels had almost completely halted around 10 PM. That evening at exactly 12 PM, the Larrean Armed Forces made their first move.

=== December 1st ===
Shortly after midnight in the early morning of December 1st, 8 [[SPACOM|SF-2B Griffin]] strike fighters from the 3rd Salredi Air Squadron were scrambled from Tria Air Force base in Salred, together with 2 [[SPACOM|EF-2B Grizzly]] electronic warfare aircraft. The combined formation flew north towards the front line in northern Alecton and performed a SEAD run together with a bombing run deep into the controlled area targeting airfields. Rebel radar installations and SAM sites were hit, and the Griffins scored confirmed hits on two airfields near the front line. During the raid however, a few SAM installations managed to get locks onto a number of the Griffins, resulting in three of the fighters being hit and four of the pilots losing their lives. This loss was unexpected but not unforeseen among air force command, considering that Larrean air defence was designed to take down near-peer adversaries, which seemed to have backfired for the [[SPACOM]]-built Griffin fighters. Due to this sudden loss of aircraft, the second wave of fighters to perform penetrating operations was put on hold and air force command was forced to reconsider their next move. This halting of operations due to the loss of the aircraft has been credited with extending the conflict much longer, and has been subject to scrutiny in recent times.

Shortly after the loss of the aircraft the formation retreated back from the front lines and landed near Dresa AFB. During this raid, small squadrons of Special Forces Paratroopers from the 1st Areittian army brigade were deployed in the now-destroyed radar blind spots, with the goal of clearing the neutralized air fields and encircling rebels caught between them and the front line during the chaos of the air raid. By morning the SF confirmed the capture of the two destroyed air fields, and captured two rebel camps which were being built near the front line, carving out a multi-kilometer sized chunk from the rebel controlled territory and marking the first territorial gain of government forces. After the SF united with the home guard, the captured rebels were handed over and the combined forces turned back to push forward into the rebel territory. Again, due to the unexpected loss of the three Griffins the scale of the SF deployment was scaled back massively.

Hours later, the first rebel fighter jets had been deployed. Due to the Larrean constitution stipulating that every state must only house one branch of the armed forces in large amounts, the rebels did not manage to acquire any of the advanced stealth fighters, since they were primarily stationed in Salred, with the ones in Alecton being held in the south of the state. However, 30 Z-80EL and 10 Z-90L fighters were captured in the various compromised airfields. Z-80EL's were thus the first to be spotted being deployed by the rebels. The rebel fighters performed a raid on the villages near the front line around 11 AM, with one aircraft striking houses in a town near Ikacci. While home guard troops were equipped with MANPAD's, they did not manage to shoot down any of the rebel fighters. It thus became clear that air superiority had to be established before larger operations could be carried out. The low amount of SF soldiers, although creating a breakthrough in the front line, did not have the expected effect they were thought to have and fighting once again slowed down in the afternoon. Around 5 PM, multiple divisions of the coalition armed forces arrived to the front line, and mobile radar stations and SAM vehicles were set up. The first armoured divisions also arrived, finally providing valuable backup to the now dwindling forces of the home guard. As the day closed, a noticeable buildup of units was seen on both sides of the front line, but due to the lack of rebel munitions and a lack of coalition air superiority no large pushes were made in either direction.

Behind the scenes, air force command were pressuring LAF top brass to deploy the more advanced aircraft within the arsenal, but the unexpectedly high losses of the operation so far discouraged larger scale operations from taking place. After the rebel fighters were spotted conducting successful raids however, the mentality of the command seemed to change. Following careful deliberation, the green light was given for the use of experimental aircraft in the next day of the campaign. It was also now that a new comprehensive plan was drafted for the rest of the operation, which is when the codename '''Concordia''' was given.

=== December 2nd ===
Just before daybreak on the 2nd of December, fighters were once again scrambled from Tria AFB. This time, as part of the new operation, new units were allowed to be deployed. 3 of the as of yet still prototype versions of the SF-3B Cerberus strike fighters are deployed, with their stealth coatings still being freshly adhered onto their airframe. They are joined by 12 SF-2B Griffins, 4 EF-2B Grizzlies, and 3 of the only finished pre-production versions of the SF-3A models. A second wave of 12 Z-90L's is also deployed. They are reinforced by an AWACS aircraft and an aerial refueling is performed in the Forsetti bay. They are tasked with the complete destruction of all radar, SAM and ballistic missile sites as well as the neutralization of all operating airfields, and plan to hit the southwestern portion of the rebel territory.

The Grizzlies lead this combined squadron, followed by the two models of Cerberus. The first run is performed on first daylight. The rebel forces, having expected such an attack had scrambled fighters of their own to patrol the skies. 15 Z-80EL's are spotted by the AWACS, and the coalition force is updated on the situation. The Grizzlies jam all incoming transmissions, giving the go ahead to the Griffins to fire their missiles towards the rebel Z-80's. Simultaneously, the Cerberus-B bombers use this opportunity to penetrate and go full afterburner into the rebel territory, each loaded with ten 1000 kg guided bombs as well as two cruise missiles and multiple anti-radiation missiles. This wall of electric noise, missiles, and bombers hit the rebel fighters all at once. Understanding their situation, they immediately drop altitude and try to assess the threat. Right at that moment however, 10 of the 15 Z-80's are splashed by the missiles. Simultaneously, the Cerberus bombers pass under them, having successfully penetrated the first layer of rebel fighters and radar and rapidly approaching the first targets. The remaining bandits fire off their own missiles, having gotten faint signatures from the Grizzlies. While their attack got off successfully, the Z-80's are hit with the second wave of missiles from the coalition forces, and are all shot out of the sky. The Grizzlies dodge the incoming missiles, which arrived out of energy due to having been fired beyond their effective range. The coalition formation, having stood back and only fired a few missiles, now all charge ahead towards the enemy airspace. The bombers, which at this point had reached their targets, deploy their payloads and turn around. A total of 3 airfields (including the largest one, XXXX air force base), 10 SAM sites, 5 radar installations and 2 missile stations were hit in the attack, crippling the most valuable parts of the rebel air defense. With hundreds of square kilometers now being neutralized, the formation splits up and pushes ahead. The Cerberus bombers are given permission to return back to Salred, while the rest of the formation prepares for the second phase of the attack.

The massive strike prompted the rebels to scramble all of their remaining aircraft into the skies, not anticipating the scale of the counterattack. As time passes, all remaining 25 fighters of the rebels get up in the air, but are picked off one by one. After half an hour in the sky, all rebel fighters had been neutralized. As the formation is running out of missiles, they perform the last part of the operation and proceed to neutralize the rest of the rebel air defenses, rotating out aircraft as they each run out of munitions or fuel. By 7 AM, all major targets in the rebel controlled area are destroyed. Coalition air dominance is established at last, having lost only one aircraft (a crusader II) with no loss of life. The air operation was the largest since the civil war.

The arrival of mechanized forces during the last night, together with the air strikes, set up the next step of the revised ground operation. Mass coalition artillery fire commenced at 7 AM, now not being in danger of rebel aircraft, and would not stop until 12 hours later and targeting all the rebel encampments near the front line. At 8 AM ''USLS Dresa'' and ''USLS Novum Forsetia'' of the [[New Forsetia class destroyer|New Forsetia class]] launched cruise missiles into the now devoid of defenses rebel territory, neutralizing the final large military installations. All that is left are the military forces at the space port and the major cities, which due to the risk of civillian casualties had been unscathed. Due to this however, many of the rebel forces moved from their positions towards towns and cities, realizing that the coalition won't bomb them if they hide among civilians. By midnight, the armed forces had flattened almost all defensive positions of the rebels. The plains, swamps and jungles of northern Alecton had now become hazy with dust, and reeked of gunpowder. Due to a severe thunderstorm that rolled in shortly after midnight, operations ceased until the following morning due to the already difficult to traverse terrain having become hazardous.

=== December 3rd ===
At 5 AM, the weather conditions improved and ground operations could commence once more. While a path had now been cleared, charging forward would not be the optimal strategy. Since most rebel forces had now gone into hiding among civilian populations, the next phase of operation Concordia would be defined by urban combat. The tanks and artillery which had stationed themselves along the southern front line rolled forward, and swift progress was made by the coalition forces. The armored vehicles belonging to the rebels had become inoperable due to a lack of ammunition, supply lines and fuel. Dozens of vehicles lay scattered among the roads, abandoned yet in perfect condition. The highway system proved effective, just as it had facilitated the blitz-attack of the rebels it now provided a direct route through compromised territory. Progressed would only be slowed down due to coalition forces clearing out towns and cities, to recapture and eliminate remaining rebels. As the convoys moved ever further north and as the sun began descending more and more, liberation of settlements slowed down considerably due to increased ferocity in the skirmished within the cities. Where the rebels had surrendered in droves close to the front line, further north their resolve proved more formidable. Tank combat flared up around sunset, as the remaining operable armored divisions of the rebels had moved further north to prepare for defensive engagements against the coalition forces. At 11 PM, the southern coalition forces had reached the shores of the northern bay.

While the coalition forces in the south were clearing a way through the Alecton heartland, another assault was being carried out. During the thunderstorm of the early morning, at 3 AM, amphibious assault ships of the Delrassi fleet had sailed north, and stationed themselves off the coast near the space port. They carried with them multiple landing craft and supply vehicles, as they were preparing for a beach landing. The thunderstorm, which had become a roadblock for the southern front, had provided cover and concealment for the northern assault. Supplementing the amphibious landing, multiple squadrons of paratroopers of the 1st and 2nd Areittian army brigades would once more attempt a landing, this time also targeting the north. Ten LV-700 Super Ajax heavy VTOLs disembarked from their ships, carrying with them a multitude of armoured vehicles and troops. The plan was to capture the space port and liberate northern Alecton, forcing the rebels to fight on two fronts. The operations would commence at sunrise, when conditions were clear.

As the horizon slowly became filled with light, the landing craft raced towards the beaches, and the paratroopers and their vehicles started descending near the runway of the spaceport. While most rebel defenses in the area had been moved towards the south, a formidable force was still present at the space port due to it being spared in the previous day's bombardments. First shots would be fired when the rebels, who had been caught completely off guard, met the coalition special forces while attempting to rearm helicopters near the runway. Simultaneously, the landing craft had deployed almost all their troops and vehicles, and the formation raced towards the spaceport. ''The battle of the gates to heaven'', as the media dubbed it, had officially begun at the space port. Special forces cleared the hangars near the runway and made their way southeast towards the launchpads and the space port facilities, while the amphibious troops with their vehicles made their way towards the defenses at the southwestern portion of the port. Coalition casualties were few, as the special forces had now become used to fighting their former countrymen. The two coalition forces met at the vehicle assembly buildings of the port, and the massive buildings became a temporary prison for all the captured rebels. Vehicles and supplies were exchanged as the forces prepared for rebel reinforcements. Enemy armored vehicles began entering the perimeter of the port, and began engaging coalition forces. Tank-on-tank combat began, and soon the port's facilities began taking damage from the fighting. At 1 PM, nearly 7 hours after the landing, the space port was declared liberated. The Larrean flag was raised on the top of the main VAB, and the caliphate black standard which had waved there for 80 hours was lowered and burned.

Similar to the southern assault, the northern landing and subsequent liberation went quick once the defenses were knocked down. Around afternoon, once all the fighting at the space port concluded, virtually nothing stood between the coalition forces and progressing southward due to the rebels allocating their resources to the southern front. The sparse population of the north made it such that, even though the northern forces had considerably less troops than the southern forces, they made quick work of the northwestern portion Alecton. At 10 PM, northern forces had reached the northern shore of the Alecton bay and had created a spearhead towards the largest settlement of the bay, where most rebel forces by then had retreated to.

'''SPACOM Austral Aerospace''', also known as '''Austral''', is [[Larrea|Larrean]] aerospace and defence manufacturer, headquartered in the city of Gralenberg. Founded in 2190, the company started out manufacturing small drones and UAV's, mainly quadcopters and other rotorcraft. This expertise would help the company find their niche in the defense industry, primarily manufacturing helicopters and VTOL aircraft. This success was part of why [[SPACOM]] acquired the company in 2195, now formally part of the rapidly growing conglomerate. Functionally Austral remains independent in their endeavours, mostly avoiding conflict with the parent company.

==== LV-20 ====
blablablableblebleblublublu ubububbububububbuu

==== LV-300 ====
The '''LV-300 Ajax''' is the largest among the standard LV series aircraft. It features four tilting rotors, in a tandem wing configuration. It has an opening cargo bay door in the rear, allowing it to quickly unload a variety of payloads, be they simple logistical loads or live deployments of armoured vehicles. It has reccomended payload rating of 300 tons, with higher loads being possible with specific models. It has a maximum speed of 120 m/s. The aircraft was developed out of a necessity for large high-capacity transports which could be fielded on any airfield or ship. The Ajax was accepted into Larrean service in 2195, initially for use by the army to transport heavy loads such as tanks. Over the years a few different variants have been developed out of the baseline model, among which are a navy version and a ground attack variant.
==== LV-700 ====
The '''LV-700 Super Ajax''' is a specialized variant of the normal Ajax, but it features four improved [[Mureșean-Zochescu]] counter rotating turboprops, giving it a colossal maximum takeoff mass of 700 tons. Just like the regular Ajax, it features multi-role capabilities such as external pylons for mounting sensors and ordinance to, as well as airdrop capability. The increased takeoff mass does sacrifice range and some maneuverability, but the Super Ajax can hit a top speed of 125 m/s. The development of the LV-700 ran parallel to the 300, as Austral expected a demand for an even heavier lifter. This was initially heavily lobbied against by higherups in SPACOM, but after preorders for the Super Ajax started coming in from the Larrean and foreign militaries these voices were put to rest. The Super Ajax passed trials in 2196, and it alongside the Ajax saw service in [[Operation Concordia]].

'''SPACOM''' (''Security and Precision Aerospace Systems Conglomerate'') is a [[Larrea|Larrean]] Aerospace and Defense manufacturer, being the primary contractor of the Larrean Armed Forces, headquartered in the capital '''New Forsetia'''. It was the largest defense contractor in the [[Baskay-Caledon|Baskay]] region by fiscal revenue in 2198. The company was created in 2161, in the city of [[Delras|Dresa]] after a merger of local automotive companies. The corporation started gaining serious traction during the civil war, when their manufacturing facilities formerly used for building cars got used to repair, refurbish and upgrade military aircraft by factions controlling Dresa. After the civil war SPACOM started heavily persuing formal military contracts using their newfound experience, and have become an integral part of the Larrean Military Industrial Complex.

=== Z-series aircraft ===

==== Z-80EL ====
SPACOM got most of its starting experience in the aerospace industry during the Forsetti civil war. Many foreign nations and formerly sovereign territories within the peninsula fielded their existing fighters during the conflict. SPACOM, having their largest facility in the heavily fought over city of Dresa, used their automotive plant as a staging ground for repairing and rearming fighter aircraft during the war. Unionist, Caliphate, Private and Communist forces all at one point had control of the city, all making use of the facility. It was within that factory that the first unofficial domestic aircraft models were made, as simple modifications of captured foreign fighters. After the war, the Larrean Air Force together with SPACOM formally requested [[Cyten-Ward Industries|Cyten-Ward]] to develop a modified [[Z-80 Fox|Z-80E Fox]] that had the same characteristics of the civil war models. Thus the '''Z-80EL''' was developed in 2180, license built by SPACOM. Old SL-18 and Z-80 models left over from the war were rebuilt and modified into Z-80EL's, leaving the Larrean Air Force with a formidable arsenal.
==== Z-90L ====
The '''Z-90L''', a modification of the [[Z-90 Crusader|Z-90-II Crusader]], has a similar story. After the war Cyten-Ward made the export model for the Larrean Air Force and later gave the license to SPACOM. The Z-90L was more extensively modified than the Z-80E to fit the air force's doctrine, as well as to upgrade it to modern specifications.
=== SF-series aircraft ===
==== SF-1 (A) ====
The SF-series of aircraft were the first fully domestic fighters, designed and built entirely within the republic. The '''SF-1''' '''Ghost''' air superiority fighter was the first to have been made, as a result of the air force's [[Advanced Domestic Fighter Aircraft Program]] ('''ADFAP''') during spring 2180. ADFAP's main goal was to pioneer advanced avionics, materials and manufacturing techniques for future aircraft while also serving as a symbolic gesture of Larrea's burgeoning independent military. SPACOM's expertise in cost-effective design and manufacturing secured them the contract, even though their design bid performed suboptimal compared to other proposals that were tested. The SF-1 was what became the production model, bearing a surface level appearance to certain foreign stealth fighter designs. Due to rapid technological development, budget cuts, delays and internal politics, it was decided that the SF-1 program (having only had 2 models produced, them being the prototype and the only production model SF-1A) would be cancelled in favour of older cheaper aircraft and future replacements at the end of 2183. Under mysterious circumstances, SPACOM were yet again chosen as the manufacturer for the next models even though no competitive program was set up. Due to the mysterious canning of the SF-1, many believe SPACOM were trying to blackmail the air force into signing a more lucrative deal which would guarantee them being the chosen contractors for future aircraft. Another popular belief is that the entire ADFAP program was a ploy to cover up how the air force suddenly gained stealth technology, based on the fact that the few pictures that did exist of the SF-1 looked exceedingly similar to the aforementioned foreign designs. The SF-1 has become a pop culture icon among the populace, being seen as a symbol of government corruption.

==== SF-2 (A and B) ====
[[File:Propaganda.png|thumb|288x288px|SF-2B poster made by SPACOM.]]
In early 2184 the air force tactical operations command demanded that a new aircraft be made to fill the niche of the Z-90L, while also succeeding where the SF-1 program failed. This [[Tactical Air Defence and Strike Aircraft]] ('''TADSA''') as it became known was immidately contracted to SPACOM, with the end result being the '''SF-2 Griffin''' multirole fighter. The Griffin was essentially a stealth makeover of the old Crusader, carrying more payload and having a higher top speed. What was ditched however was the iconic 30 mm rotary cannon of the original, since that was deemed unnecessary in its intended role The first airframe flew in 2186, and the first model entered service in 2187. Two models have been made, the SF-2A had minimal production numbers due to a key error that was found when it was first put into service. The SF-2B was quickly made as a comprehensive improvement of the A-model, with advancements in avionics and radar systems, as well as a heavier focus on ground strike capabilities. The B-model has been in active service since 2188. A proposal was made for a C-model which would focus on improved electronic warfare capabilities but as of 2200 no further developments on this have been made.

Around the same time as the SF-2A model was created, a dedicated Electronic Warfare version of the griffin was proposed. This came about after shortfalls were found with the existing modified Z-90L's and XXX capabilities regarding SEAD operations. In 2190, the '''EF-2B Grizzly''' was officially adopted into active service. Though the air-frame was largely kept the same, the Grizzly had a reduced internal weapons bay volume due to the large amount of EW hardware within the fuselage. On the bottom of the fuselage multiple protruding sensor suites were added, as well as a large integrated jamming pod. External Jamming pods could also be mounted, though these would increase the radar signature of the Grizzly. <gallery widths="300" heights="180">

==== SF-3 (A, B and C) ====
[[File:SF-3.png|thumb|286x286px|SF-3C spotted near site 15]]
Due to rising tensions at the very end of the 22nd century acting president Montano deemed it necessary to increase military spending and invest in force-multiplying-technologies. All branches of the armed forces started major changes. The air force was urged to restructure and update some antiquated systems, a key focus being air superiority. The Z-80EL was deemed to not have a big enough edge over near peer adversaries as was thought, so talks were made to start yet another advanced fighter program to start phasing out the now nearly century old Fox. A focus was also made on growing less dependent on foreign technologies. Thus another advanced fighter program was started, aimed to develop a true 6th generation aircraft. In an act that now is seen as visionairy, SPACOM was absolved of their guaranteed contract and made to compete with other manufacturers for the first time in 20 years. The [[Next Generation Universal Airframe Program]] ('''NGUAP''') was started in 2198, with the goal of creating a universal fighter aircraft family capable of air superiority, strike/bombing, naval and electronic warfare abilities while being classified as a 6th generation airframe. All variants were not required to be strictly identical, but all are urged to use common parts to streamline and lower maintenance costs. To get awarded the full contract it was mandatory to design airframes for a naval multirole fighter, air superiority fighter and strategic light bomber which all share common parts. Individual designs, if exemplary, could be considered and with cooperation could be conglomerated into universal ones.

SPACOM provided their bid, the XFAB. A radical departure from earlier designs, it performed exemplary in the areas of air superiority and naval operations without major changes to the airframe. In terms of bombing capabilities, further modifications would be needed such as a higher flight ceiling and increased range. SPACOM managed to win the contract, edging out other competitors without foul play or politics. The designation of '''SF-3 Cerberus''' was given. The variants pertaining to each function are the SF-3A, SF-3B and SF-3C for the air superiority, strike bombing and naval variants respectively. The SF-3A and C are the most similar, having roughly the same air-frame with modifications pertaining to their respective service branches. The C-model has a reinforced frame and landing gear, together with a tailhook and folding wings as well as minor changes to air combat capabilities together with some models featuring a tandem cockpit. The B-model has more substantial modifications, exclusively featuring a tandem cockpit, extended range, increased payload capacity, modified engines and reduced air-to-air capabilities.

=== Collaborative Projects ===
SPACOM has also collaborated with other companies for designs. Notably is their long-standing relationship with [[Ikai-Marion Heavy Industries|Ikai-marion]], with whom they have made many vehicles, ranging from small surface vessels to the [[New Forsetia class destroyer]] and [[Virgo class orbital corvette]]. They have also worked together with foreign companies, such as the [[Ikonia|Ikonic]] firm [[Hẽgemex]].

'''Operation Concordia''', also known as the '''2200 Alecton rebellion''', was a military operation performed by the [[Larrea|Larrean Armed Forces]] against a rebelling division of the Alectonese Home Guard. Thought to have been in collaboration with the terrorist [[Thallas Battalion]] group, the rebellion started due to ultra-nationalist cells within the Alectonese Home Guard gaining control of local air force and army bases within north Alecton on the morning of November 30th on Larrean unification day. Numbering around 5 battalions of soldiers totaling 5000 men, 20 armored platoons and 100 various aircraft, it was the largest hostile military uprising on the Forsetti peninsula since the civil war. The rebellion was ended one week later, after the central government assembled a combined task force of all Larrean military divisions under the name ''Concordia'', showcasing the first time combined arms warfare was carried out outside of training exercises.

Alectonese Nationalism has historically been a problem within the Larrean Republic, ever since the Unification Front defeated the Caliphate forces during the Forsetti Civil War. Fundementalist Thalassi Krakenism thrives within the rural communities in the densely forested north of the country. Many terrorist organizations and extremist groups within the republic have originated from these deeply religious parts of Alecton-Gallante, but they have historically been dealt with relatively easily by local law enforcement and intelligence. The exception to this rule has been the Thallas Battalion, which has managed to escape from the mainland and has fled the reaches of Larrean law.

The attacks came only days after a Larrean Navy destroyer went missing in the arctic, which had reports of being compromised by Thallas. Journalists were given conflicting answers regarding a Larrean Navy lifeboat that was found near an area where signs of a battle between Thallas and the arctic pirates was detected, with certain sources claiming that a note was found threatening a declaration of war by Thallas and other sources speculating that the pirates were behind it. Since the incident is still classified, it is not publicly known whether or not the government knew of the attacks prior to the 30th.

== Timeline ==

=== November 30th ===
The attack started at 9 AM with the hijacking of multiple TV stations, each broadcasting the same video; A masked man sitting at a desk with the old civil war era caliphate flag behind him. The broadcast proclaimed the following: <blockquote>''"Good morning patriots. As we enlightened ones know, the Larrean government is a fascist dictatorship run by a corrupt puppet controlled by corporations. The people have lost their morality and are straying away from Thallas (God). Our ancestral lands beyond our borders are controlled by foreign governments and must be liberated. On this day, 30 years ago, our dream of a caliphate united under the holy law of Thallas was destroyed by the demonic vermin of Delras. Our dream lived on however. Today, we reject the control of the devil. We will show our devotion to Him, and we will build our kingdom. So i proclaim to you, rise up, so we can build our kingdom in heaven and join our ancestors who went through the portal so many years ago. Thallas Vincit Omnia".'' </blockquote>It is now believed that this hijacking was performed by the Thallas Battalion, and that the masked figure speaking was their leader known as the [[Allfather]] who is considered as the most wanted man in the peninsula with a reward of 10 million Forsa to anyone who can provide information on the man.

After the broadcast finished, reports of explosions emerged all over northern Alecton. Government and other federal offices were targeted and all interstate units stationed nearby were captured. The Rebels, who by now were referring to themselves as "''the caliphate''", had effectively cut the northern province of Alecton off from the rest of the republic by the afternoon. Captured armoured units and aircraft were patrolling the ground and skies, and reports were made that missiles came flying in off the northern coast of Alecton. Radar stations and SAM sites were also compromised, hindering a swift counterattack from government forces. During the TV Hijacking, a large scale cyberattack was also performed by the rebels, rendering many government websites as well as media applications inoperable. Military installations were also targeted, with communications being cut by the hackers. Compromised armoured units promptly moved south, but stopped after a few dozen kilometers due to a loss of order within the rebel command as conflicting orders were being given on where to advance. This chaos was absolved after a few hours, and the front line moved south rapidly approaching the capital of Ikacci. The space port in the north was also taken over, with little to no violence being involved.

At 6 PM a swarm of suicide drones came flying into [[Larrea|Ikacci]] province, and one hit an appartment complex in the Ikacci suburbs. Come evening, a press release was issued by the central government in New Forsetia, with president Montano stating that this show of rebellion is unacceptable and that the insurgency will be dealt with swiftly. Around this time locally stationed troops engaged in the first large scale firefights with the rebel forces, halting the rebel advance to the outskirts of Ikacci province. A front line was being established, but an estimated 1000 Alectonese home guard troops as well as local law enforcement had already fallen as casualties throughout the day. This loss of life was the largest one since the civil war, and became the single deadliest day of modern Larrean history.

The advance of the rebels had almost completely halted around 10 PM. That evening at exactly 12 PM, the Larrean Armed Forces made their first move.

=== December 1st ===
Shortly after midnight in the early morning of December 1st, 8 [[SPACOM|SF-2B Griffin]] strike fighters from the 3rd Salredi Air Squadron were scrambled from Tria Air Force base in Salred, together with 2 [[SPACOM|EF-2B Grizzly]] electronic warfare aircraft. The combined formation flew north towards the front line in northern Alecton and performed a SEAD run together with a bombing run deep into the controlled area targeting airfields. Rebel radar installations and SAM sites were hit, and the Griffins scored confirmed hits on two airfields near the front line. During the raid however, a few SAM installations managed to get locks onto a number of the Griffins, resulting in three of the fighters being hit and four of the pilots losing their lives. This loss was unexpected but not unforeseen among air force command, considering that Larrean air defence was designed to take down near-peer adversaries, which seemed to have backfired for the [[SPACOM]]-built Griffin fighters. Due to this sudden loss of aircraft, the second wave of fighters to perform penetrating operations was put on hold and air force command was forced to reconsider their next move. This halting of operations due to the loss of the aircraft has been credited with extending the conflict much longer, and has been subject to scrutiny in recent times.

Shortly after the loss of the aircraft the formation retreated back from the front lines and landed near Dresa AFB. During this raid, small squadrons of Special Forces Paratroopers from the 1st Areittian army brigade were deployed in the now-destroyed radar blind spots, with the goal of clearing the neutralized air fields and encircling rebels caught between them and the front line during the chaos of the air raid. By morning the SF confirmed the capture of the two destroyed air fields, and captured two rebel camps which were being built near the front line, carving out a multi-kilometer sized chunk from the rebel controlled territory and marking the first territorial gain of government forces. After the SF united with the home guard, the captured rebels were handed over and the combined forces turned back to push forward into the rebel territory. Again, due to the unexpected loss of the three Griffins the scale of the SF deployment was scaled back massively.

Hours later, the first rebel fighter jets had been deployed. Due to the Larrean constitution stipulating that every state must only house one branch of the armed forces in large amounts, the rebels did not manage to acquire any of the advanced stealth fighters, since they were primarily stationed in Salred, with the ones in Alecton being held in the south of the state. However, 30 Z-80EL and 10 Z-90L fighters were captured in the various compromised airfields. Z-80EL's were thus the first to be spotted being deployed by the rebels. The rebel fighters performed a raid on the villages near the front line around 11 AM, with one aircraft striking houses in a town near Ikacci. While home guard troops were equipped with MANPAD's, they did not manage to shoot down any of the rebel fighters. It thus became clear that air superiority had to be established before larger operations could be carried out. The low amount of SF soldiers, although creating a breakthrough in the front line, did not have the expected effect they were thought to have and fighting once again slowed down in the afternoon. Around 5 PM, multiple divisions of the coalition armed forces arrived to the front line, and mobile radar stations and SAM vehicles were set up. The first armoured divisions also arrived, finally providing valuable backup to the now dwindling forces of the home guard. As the day closed, a noticeable buildup of units was seen on both sides of the front line, but due to the lack of rebel munitions and a lack of coalition air superiority no large pushes were made in either direction.

Behind the scenes, air force command were pressuring LAF top brass to deploy the more advanced aircraft within the arsenal, but the unexpectedly high losses of the operation so far discouraged larger scale operations from taking place. After the rebel fighters were spotted conducting successful raids however, the mentality of the command seemed to change. Following careful deliberation, the green light was given for the use of experimental aircraft in the next day of the campaign. It was also now that a new comprehensive plan was drafted for the rest of the operation, which is when the codename '''Concordia''' was given.

=== December 2nd ===
Just before daybreak on the 2nd of December, fighters were once again scrambled from Tria AFB. This time, as part of the new operation, new units were allowed to be deployed. 3 of the as of yet still prototype versions of the SF-3B Cerberus strike fighters are deployed, with their stealth coatings still being freshly adhered onto their airframe. They are joined by 12 SF-2B Griffins, 4 EF-2B Grizzlies, and 3 of the only finished pre-production versions of the SF-3A models. A second wave of 12 Z-90L's is also deployed. They are reinforced by an AWACS aircraft and an aerial refueling is performed in the Forsetti bay. They are tasked with the complete destruction of all radar, SAM and ballistic missile sites as well as the neutralization of all operating airfields, and plan to hit the southwestern portion of the rebel territory.

The Grizzlies lead this combined squadron, followed by the two models of Cerberus. The first run is performed on first daylight. The rebel forces, having expected such an attack had scrambled fighters of their own to patrol the skies. 15 Z-80EL's are spotted by the AWACS, and the coalition force is updated on the situation. The Grizzlies jam all incoming transmissions, giving the go ahead to the Griffins to fire their missiles towards the rebel Z-80's. Simultaneously, the Cerberus-B bombers use this opportunity to penetrate and go full afterburner into the rebel territory, each loaded with ten 1000 kg guided bombs as well as two cruise missiles and multiple anti-radiation missiles. This wall of electric noise, missiles, and bombers hit the rebel fighters all at once. Understanding their situation, they immediately drop altitude and try to assess the threat. Right at that moment however, 10 of the 15 Z-80's are splashed by the missiles. Simultaneously, the Cerberus bombers pass under them, having successfully penetrated the first layer of rebel fighters and radar and rapidly approaching the first targets. The remaining bandits fire off their own missiles, having gotten faint signatures from the Grizzlies. While their attack got off successfully, the Z-80's are hit with the second wave of missiles from the coalition forces, and are all shot out of the sky. The Grizzlies dodge the incoming missiles, which arrived out of energy due to having been fired beyond their effective range. The coalition formation, having stood back and only fired a few missiles, now all charge ahead towards the enemy airspace. The bombers, which at this point had reached their targets, deploy their payloads and turn around. A total of 3 airfields (including the largest one, XXXX air force base), 10 SAM sites, 5 radar installations and 2 missile stations were hit in the attack, crippling the most valuable parts of the rebel air defense. With hundreds of square kilometers now being neutralized, the formation splits up and pushes ahead. The Cerberus bombers are given permission to return back to Salred, while the rest of the formation prepares for the second phase of the attack.

The massive strike prompted the rebels to scramble all of their remaining aircraft into the skies, not anticipating the scale of the counterattack. As time passes, all remaining 25 fighters of the rebels get up in the air, but are picked off one by one. After half an hour in the sky, all rebel fighters had been neutralized. As the formation is running out of missiles, they perform the last part of the operation and proceed to neutralize the rest of the rebel air defenses, rotating out aircraft as they each run out of munitions or fuel. By 7 AM, all major targets in the rebel controlled area are destroyed. Coalition air dominance is established at last, having lost only one aircraft (a crusader II) with no loss of life. The air operation was the largest since the civil war.

The arrival of mechanized forces during the last night, together with the air strikes, set up the next step of the revised ground operation. Mass coalition artillery fire commenced at 7 AM, now not being in danger of rebel aircraft, and would not stop until 12 hours later and targeting all the rebel encampments near the front line. At 8 AM ''USLS Dresa'' and ''USLS Novum Forsetia'' of the [[New Forsetia class destroyer|New Forsetia class]] launched cruise missiles into the now devoid of defenses rebel territory, neutralizing the final large military installations. All that is left are the military forces at the space port and the major cities, which due to the risk of civillian casualties had been unscathed. Due to this however, many of the rebel forces moved from their positions towards towns and cities, realizing that the coalition won't bomb them if they hide among civilians. By midnight, the armed forces had flattened almost all defensive positions of the rebels. The plains, swamps and jungles of northern Alecton had now become hazy with dust, and reeked of gunpowder. Due to a severe thunderstorm that rolled in shortly after midnight, operations ceased until the following morning due to the already difficult to traverse terrain having become hazardous.

=== December 3rd ===
At 5 AM, the weather conditions improved and ground operations could commence once more. While a path had now been cleared, charging forward would not be the optimal strategy. Since most rebel forces had now gone into hiding among civilian populations, the next phase of operation Concordia would be defined by urban combat. The tanks and artillery which had stationed themselves along the southern front line rolled forward, and swift progress was made by the coalition forces. The armored vehicles belonging to the rebels had become inoperable due to a lack of ammunition, supply lines and fuel. Dozens of vehicles lay scattered among the roads, abandoned yet in perfect condition. The highway system proved effective, just as it had facilitated the blitz-attack of the rebels it now provided a direct route through compromised territory. Progressed would only be slowed down due to coalition forces clearing out towns and cities, to recapture and eliminate remaining rebels. As the convoys moved ever further north and as the sun began descending more and more, liberation of settlements slowed down considerably due to increased ferocity in the skirmished within the cities. Where the rebels had surrendered in droves close to the front line, further north their resolve proved more formidable. Tank combat flared up around sunset, as the remaining operable armored divisions of the rebels had moved further north to prepare for defensive engagements against the coalition forces. At 11 PM, the southern coalition forces had reached the shores of the northern bay.

While the coalition forces in the south were clearing a way through the Alecton heartland, another assault was being carried out. During the thunderstorm of the early morning, at 3 AM, amphibious assault ships of the Delrassi fleet had sailed north, and stationed themselves off the coast near the space port. They carried with them multiple landing craft and supply vehicles, as they were preparing for a beach landing. The thunderstorm, which had become a roadblock for the southern front, had provided cover and concealment for the northern assault. Supplementing the amphibious landing, multiple squadrons of paratroopers of the 1st and 2nd Areittian army brigades would once more attempt a landing, this time also targeting the north. The plan was to capture the space port and liberate northern Alecton, forcing the rebels to fight on two fronts. The operations would commence at sunrise, when conditions were clear.

As the horizon slowly became filled with light, the landing craft raced towards the beaches, and the paratroopers started descending near the runway of the spaceport. While most rebel defenses in the area had been moved towards the south, a formidable force was still present at the space port due to it being spared in the previous day's bombardments. First shots would be fired when the rebels, who had been caught completely off guard, met the coalition special forces while attempting to rearm helicopters near the runway. Simultaneously, the landing craft had deployed almost all their troops and vehicles, and the formation raced towards the spaceport. ''The battle of the gates to heaven'', as the media dubbed it, had officially begun at the space port. Special forces cleared the hangars near the runway and made their way southeast towards the launchpads and the space port facilities, while the amphibious troops with their vehicles made their way towards the defenses at the southwestern portion of the port. Coalition casualties were few, as the special forces had now become used to fighting their former countrymen. The two coalition forces met at the vehicle assembly buildings of the port, and the massive buildings became a temporary prison for all the captured rebels. Vehicles and supplies were exchanged as the forces prepared for rebel reinforcements. Enemy armored vehicles began entering the perimeter of the port, and began engaging coalition forces. Tank-on-tank combat began, and soon the port's facilities began taking damage from the fighting. At 1 PM, nearly 7 hours after the landing, the space port was declared liberated. The Larrean flag was raised on the top of the main VAB, and the caliphate black standard which had waved there for 80 hours was lowered and burned.

Similar to the southern assault, the northern landing and subsequent liberation went quick once the defenses were knocked down. Around afternoon, once all the fighting at the space port concluded, virtually nothing stood between the coalition forces and progressing southward due to the rebels allocating their resources to the southern front. The sparse population of the north made it such that, even though the northern forces had considerably less troops than the southern forces, they made quick work of the northwestern portion Alecton. At 10 PM, northern forces had reached the northern shore of the Alecton bay and had created a spearhead towards the largest settlement of the bay, where most rebel forces by then had retreated to.

'''The United States of Larrea''', also known as '''Larrea''' ''(La-ray-ah)'' or '''Forsetti''', is a country located on the [[Forsetti peninsula]] to the southeast of [[Doren (continent)|Doren,]] in the area known as [[Baskay-Caledon]]. The state of Larrea is a federal presidential constitutional republic, having four states and one special autonomous zone. The state capital is '''New Forsetia''' (''For-see-shah''), located in Delras. The union has a total population of roughly 29 million. It contains some of the largest cities of the region, with the largest being New Forsetia and Ikacci (''E-ka-chi''). The republic was formed after the violent and bloody revolution of 2170, that was followed up by a civil war due to economic and social collapse of the peninsula, tearing up the former nations of Erusia, Delras , Alecton and Forsetti and leading to the deaths of millions. During the revolution, a small military faction in Alecton spearheaded a cause for unification, who had a string of military and social successes which lead to them starting the first drafts of the nation of Larrea shortly thereafter. The date of foundation is to this day still debated, but most agree that the idea of Larrea was started when the [[Unification Front]], now the [[Liberation Front]] political party, was founded, although the first constitution was written in 2175. State independence was held in high regard, and today each of the states have a high level of autonomy. Uniquely, the constitution stated that each of the four original states had to house all or nearly all of each respective military branch. Alecton-Gallante houses the space force, Delras houses the navy, Salred houses the air force and Areittia is home to the army. Notably, South Forsetti is not part of this arrangement because of their late entrance into the republic, although a case could be made that they house [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederate]] military units, completing the five-way military pact.
== Etymology ==
The endonym '''Larrea''' comes from the ancient '''Thalassi''' word for the Forsetti peninsula, ''Lartsuaarreit'', meaning "southern land". Over the centuries the name became more compact and influenced by outside languages, resulting in the later name ''Larrus'' and ''Larreanium'' , eventually becoming ''Larrea''. The name '''Larrea''' became an unoffical name that referred to the Forsetti peninsula, specifically used by members of the Thalassi religion. After the 2170 revolution and civil war the fledgling republic wanted to distance itself from the previous institutions, thus choosing to bring the name back as the official title of the nation as was originally proposed by the unification group. Interestingly, the second part of the word ''Lartsuaarreit'' is also believed to be the origin of the name of ''Erusia'' and ''Areittia,'' although this is still disputed among etymologists.

== The Flag ==
Larrea's flag is a radical departure from the flags that were used historically on the peninsula. After the civil war, a competition was held where everyone in the republic could submit a design to their state government, which would then get sent over to the federal government. This gave the first rendition of the flag in 2176, as well as the design for the seal of the republic. The current design was applied in 2182 by president Azzurri after South Forsetti was formally incorporated into the republic. The Flag of Larrea is built up of three vertical bars, the center bar being blue while the two flanking it are red, with the coat of arms centered in the blue bar. The blue stripe represents hope for the future, as well as the oceans that surround the republic and the skies above all. The red stripes represent the lessons from history and the uncertainty of the future, and the soil of the peninsula. The coat of arms the Forsetian eagle battling the Thalassi kraken above the motto of the republic and five stars. The eagle and kraken both have deep roots within the culture of the peninsula, and their eternal stalemate represents harmony and competition, democracy and theocracy, liberty and dignity and expansion versus enrichment. The motto of the republic also echoes this sentiment. The five stars represent the constituent states that make up the republic. The old flag had the same design but used a stylized icon of the kraken as well as the four stars of the former four states of Larrea. This icon has now become the seal of the government and is used on most federal paperwork and media.

== Geography ==
[[File:Larrea Relief no name final.png|thumb|188x188px|''Geography of the Forsetti peninsula and surroundings.'']]
The shape of the country, considered to be tall and slender, plays a large part in its unique geography. The landscape changes significantly, moving from the shores and jungles of Gary and the Alecton space port, through the bustling metropolis of New Forsetia, through upon the vast fields Delras that feed the nation, through the cold forests of Areittia, and arriving on the frigid shores of South Forsetti. Larrea's topography is marked by the absence of significant mountain ranges, the highest peak located in Alecton-Gallante. Instead, the nation features rolling hills, plateaus, and expansive plains that vary in elevation. The lack of imposing geographical barriers allows for the relatively unrestricted movement of species and the development of unique ecosystems throughout the country. Extensive coastlines along both the western and eastern coasts contribute to Larrea's diverse climate. The northern regions, situated near the equator, experience tropical rainforests, while the southern areas, approaching the South Pole, exhibit colder climates, potentially including tundra or subpolar condition, with the most southern areas being within the arctic circle. Noteworthy is the Forsetti bay, a large body of water that leads to the capital. This bay is the most densely inhabited area in the entire nation, with an estimated 10 million people inhabiting the metropolitan areas surrounding the shores. It is also home to the busiest maritime ports, as well as housing the heart of the Larrean navy.

== States ==

=== Republic of Alecton-Gallante ===
[[File:Alecton.png|left|thumb|174x174px|''Flag of Alecton-Gallante.'']]
The most religious of all the states, the '''Republic of Alecton-Gallante''' has a storied and troubled history, filled with wars, regime changes and devastating losses. The state is distinguished by its profound religiosity, which has both provided solace during times of turmoil and spurred on great achievements. As an integral part of the peninsula, Alecton-Gallante shares the profound maritime heritage that characterizes its neighboring states. Proficiency in naval exploration and fishing is deeply ingrained within its people, a testament to their enduring connection with the surrounding waters. Bolstered by their passionate belief in a storied and sometimes mythical past, the citizens take immense pride in their cultural roots.

Remarkably, Alecton-Gallante has ascended to a position of prominence within the realm of space exploration. Fueled by their religious motivations, the republic has become a preeminent player in the domain of space travel, leveraging this newfound strength to wield considerable influence within the union. Their compelling drive has translated into a robust presence both within the union's legislative body and in various social gatherings, where their fervent ideals have fostered connections and shaped dialogues.

Geographically, the republic's terrain offers a diverse tapestry of landscapes. Within its borders stands the tallest peak found within the entire union. However, this impressive elevation contrasts with the overall flatness that characterizes much of the peninsula. The northern reaches are covered in lush jungles and thriving mangrove forests, an ecological richness that gives way to cultivated farmlands and expansive plains as one journeys southward. The climate is similarly tropical, with large amounts of rainfall in the north and very hot humid summers. Within the sprawling territory, a population of 7.2 million calls Alecton-Gallante home, converging in various urban centers that embody the state's vitality. Also noteworthy is the large population of [[Fegeland|Feguans]] in the state, who arrived on the peninsula centuries before.

At the heart of this spirited republic lies '''Ikacci''', its bustling state capital. With a population numbering 2 million, Ikacci stands as a pivotal urban hub within the union. Its robust populace and vibrant infrastructure make it one of the largest and most dynamic cities within the region. The surrounding areas are also home to some of the largest industrial sectors of the union, with large plants producing high fidelity aerospace grade materials for the military and space industry.
=== Delras ===
[[File:Larrea Delras.png|left|thumb|180x180px|''Flag of Delras.'']]
'''The Federation of Delras''', more commonly known as '''Delras''' stands as the most prominent and influential among the states comprising the union. Its expansive population, totaling a robust 14.4 million residents, serves as a testament to its significance within the larger framework of the nation. Notably, Delras holds the distinction of housing the union's capital, New Forsetia, which mirrors its own substantial population with an impressive count of 4.3 million inhabitants. New Forsetia is distinct from other cities in the union for being a special economic zone, which gives corporations in the city more power and freedom to expand upon their business. This has resulted in the city having the highest average GDP of the union, while also having the highest rates of income inequality in the union. Delras also is home to the Larrean Navy, with the largest military port being the New Forsetia port.

The old capital of '''Dresa''' with a population of 1 million still holds an important position in the state with many of the regional governmental facilities being there. Dresa was home to the final stand of the civil war, and holds a special cultural place within the republic. Many of the older Delrassi residents still staunchly oppose the construction of the capitalist corporate haven which New Forsetia seems to have become and regularly hold protests to move the capital back to Dresa, with some fringe groups even calling for the destruction of New Forsetia.

Politically, Delras occupies a central role, not merely due to its populous cities but also as the custodian of the bulk of Larrea's federal government facilities. The concentrated presence of these pivotal institutions further underscores the state's political weight and command. Nevertheless, the populace's perception of the Delrassi government is mixed. The administration's image is marred by allegations of corruption and bureaucracy, perpetuated by antiquated laws and traditions that, to some, appear incompatible with modern sensibilities. The old communist government is remembered with both hatred and melancholy in the present republic, with many of the older generations having fond memories of the previous government. After the events of 2170, millions of previously Erusian (now Areittian) refugees fled up north to Delras looking for a fresh start to life, together with many many people from neighbouring regions. Since the neighbouring nations were all similar in terms of language and culture this great mix up went smoother than most. What it did result in was Delras becoming the largest and most influential nation due to the population increase. Even though the demographics of Delras were changed massively, the federation still contains the sizeable Blythe community which have lived there for over a century.

However, beyond cultural motifs and political intricacies, Delras boasts a robust economic landscape anchored by its traditional expertise in fishing. It prides itself as the preeminent producer of food and fishing exports throughout the entire union. The state's long-running fishing industry sustains its prominence as a primary contributor to the broader economy. With bountiful access to marine resources, Delras has nurtured a legacy of maritime enterprise that not only feeds its own populace but extends its reach to provide vital sustenance to the entire nation.

Geographically Delras is very flat and lacking of any large mountainous features. The lush agricultural landscape has given rise to a large farming industry, resulting in Larrea as a whole becoming the largest exporter of grain and other goods in the region. The warm gulf in the north gives the northern coast a temperate climate, perfect for agriculture.

=== Salred ===
[[File:Larrea Salred.png|left|thumb|189x189px|''Flag of Salred.'']]
'''The Republic of Salred''', nestled between Areittia and Delras, stands as a pivotal hub for both strategic defence and industrial prowess. Distinguished as the headquarters of the Larrean United Air Force, Salred's strategic significance is underscored by its vast airspace and flat terrain, which accommodates the largest air force base in the region. This geographic advantage has propelled Salred into a preeminent role in the Larrean Air Force, shaping its identity as a guardian of the skies.

The geography is perfectly suited for aviation as was mentioned before. The lack of any major mountains or even large hills makes it the perfect place for industries like farming and large solar and wind energy facilities. Fishing is, just like many of the other states, a large facet of Salred's economy as it has prime access to the Forsetti bay to the west and the ocean to the east. It has a very similar climate to Delras, but more severe storms often pass through Salred originating from the ocean.

With a population of approximately 900,000, Salred exudes a homogenous character that is emblematic of unity amidst diversity. The populace, leaning towards atheism, is recognized for its diligence and industrious spirit. However, this reputation is tinged with perceptions of being humorless and unexciting among their union counterparts. Regardless, Salredis take pride in their technological achievements and domestically manufactured goods, cementing their status as a potent economic force within the union.

Anchored by a thriving economy, Salred is marked by a diversified industrial landscape. The rich expanse of its territorial waters bestows a vibrant fishing industry upon the nation, supplementing its energy and manufacturing sectors. The heartbeat of this industrious nation resonates from its capital city, '''Tria''', where 270,000 souls call home. From its bustling streets to the hum of factories, Tria epitomizes the synergy between urban life and industrial progress.

Salred's political landscape bears the marks of tension and contention. While the nation grapples with an oligarchic regime, dissent and unrest surge through its streets in the form of frequent riots. Yet, this compact nation yields an outsized influence within the union's corridors of power, a testament to its substantial wealth and economic might. As one of the union's financial pillars, Salred commands a significant voice within the union senate, shaping collective decisions and the destiny of the federation.

=== People's Republic of Areittia ===
[[File:Areittia.png|left|thumb|194x194px|''Flag of Areitta.'']]
'''The People's Republic of Areittia''' (''Array-tia, also pronounced Aresia or Arusia in old dialects of Erusi'') otherwise known as '''Areittia''' or the '''PRA''' is the sole socialist state within the union, marked by its distinctive independence, rivaled only by South Forsetti. Emerging as a crucible of transformation shortly after the tumultuous events of the Forsetian unification and the revolution of 2170, Areittia itself underwent a sweeping revolution that redrew its socio-political landscape, away from their previous involvement within the former state of [[Erusia]]. The violent and bloody conflict erupted after the revolution started in Delras, and over a million people perished in what was Erusia as a result of the civil war that took place. Millions more had fled to neighbouring regions. Characterized by a pronounced secular outlook, the state is considered the most atheistic among its counterparts. Despite this, Thalassi Krakenism, once fervently observed by the populace further north, holds minimal sway in the political realm, its influence now largely confined to modest social spheres.

The Areittians themselves stand apart from their northern brethren, marked by a demeanor that reflects their reserved and often chilly environment. This inclination towards introspection mirrors their climate, where mild summers contrast with punishing winters, a climatic duality shaping both character and culture. While the nation is under the continued governance of the ruling socialist party, its once-unassailable popularity wanes progressively as the years unfurl.

Central to Areittia's identity is its integral role in the Larrean army, hosting a substantial portion of its military infrastructure. Despite conscription being a shared norm across the states, Areittia boasts exceptional retention rates among those who continue their service beyond this mandatory period. This phenomenon is attributed to the cultural significance attributed to the role of "warriors" and their dedication to the nation's defense. Home to a population of 5 million Areittia ranks as the third most populous state in the union. The capital city, '''Vemirka''', accommodates 800,000 inhabitants and stands as a nucleus of activity. Notably, it houses the central armory of the union and accommodates a majority of stationed divisions.

Geographically, the landscape is predominantly dominated by taiga forests, interspersed with pockets of tundra to the south. An inclination towards isolationism sets Areittians apart, fostering a distinctive identity that resists assimilation into the larger union. However, rooted in its foundational history, Areittia remains steadfastly loyal and committed to safeguarding Larrea, pledging unwavering defense through any exigencies.

=== Federal Republic of South Forsetti ===
[[File:South Forsetti.png|left|thumb|198x198px|''Flag of South Forsetti.'']]
'''The Federal Republic of South Forsetti''', colloquially known as '''South Forsetti''' or '''Foresti''', stands as the newest member state within the Larrean Republic. Distinguished by its special autonomous zone status, the region plays an integral role in the collective framework of the republic. Originally established as a [[Zokesia|Zokesian]] colony in the 22nd century, South Forsetti emerged as a beacon of hope for displaced Zokesians seeking a fresh start on a new continent following the upheavals of that tumultuous century.

Having changed hands multiple times over nearly two centuries, South Forsetti has steadfastly retained pride in its Zokesian heritage. This cultural continuity led to the development of [[Forsetian Creole]], being a hodgepodge of Zokesian, Arcovii, Delrassi and Erusi. The state, serving as one of the few unscathed areas on the peninsula after 2170, owes its resilience to assistance from the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederacy]]. Despite maintaining a more neutral stance during the conflict, the populace expressed deep sympathy for the hardships faced by those beyond their borders. This sentiment manifested in massive protests and riots demanding the government's active involvement in aiding refugees and supporting restoration efforts.

These protests, occurring both within and outside South Forsetti, culminated in the nation's increased integration into the newly formed republic in 2180. Despite this integration, South Forsetti retains strong ties to the Confederacy and maintains formal membership in many of their organizations. Over the years, the state has progressively aligned itself closer with the Larrean Republic, participating in the Larrean parliament and benefiting from defense provided by a collaborative Larrean and domestic Confederate military coalition. This has resulted in many considering South Forsetti as the unofficial fifth military branch of the republic, due to their unique domestic design language.

The state, with a population of 1.4 million, ranks as the second least inhabited region in the Larrean Republic. This demographic prominence grants South Forsetti significant social and political influence, allowing the introduction of avant-garde ideas to the wider republic. Geographically, the area experiences mild summers and harsh winters, with snow and ice covering substantial portions of the landscape. While slightly more hilly than other regions, the terrain remains predominantly flat.

The largest city, '''Gralenberg''', with a population of 300,000, serves as the hub for governmental and financial institutions. Historically self-sufficient in food and industry due to its long-standing independence, South Forsetti has witnessed a shift since joining the Larrean Republic. Abandoned grain fields, farms, and factories bear witness to this transformation, as many residents have migrated to urban centers in search of service-oriented employment opportunities.

== Politics ==

=== Government ===
Larrea functions as a federal republic, with two legislative bodies. The senate, otherwise known as the first body, is the upper body, consisting of 50 members. The house of representatives, otherwise known as the lower body, consists of 200 members.

As of 2200, the acting president is Florenzi Montano.

=== Languages ===
While many languages are spoken in the republic, [[Delras|Delrassi]] is by far the most commonly spoken and written. The constitution does not technically have a clause dictating the official language, but since over 80% of the population can natively speak Delrassi it has been unofficially adopted for all government documents and communications. [[Forsetian Creole]] is the second most spoken language, largely due to the state of South Forsetti using it as their main language. All former languages on the Forsetti peninsula were related to eachother, only sharing minor differences in vocabulary and pronounciation. In the 2150's the largest differences in the languages were mostly reorganized and homogenized. Still, the existing speakers of the dialects still insist on their independence. Alectonian, Valerian, Blythe, Salredi and Erusi are thus considered as unofficial languages. The languages that do not originate from the peninsula that are spoken the most are [[Fegeland|Feguan]] and [[Zokesia|Zokesian]]. Feguan is mostly spoken on the northern coast of Alecton, and Zokesian is mostly spoken by the elderly generations in South Forsetti.

=== Military ===
The Larrean armed forces is split up into the army, navy, air force and space force. From 2179 until 2183 the marines were the fifth branch, but they got incorporated into the navy. Each state houses a respective branch, with South Forsetti housing a hybrid defense agreement with the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|confederacy]]. The primary arms manufacturer is [[SPACOM]]. Noteworthy is the controversial [[Thallas Battalion|Thallas battalion]], operating out of Alecton.

Speech by Aurelién Juliano, given the eve of the final battle of Dresa as commander of the city's forces on november 13th 2175 as a response to rumors of mutiny going around the defense forces:<blockquote>''Attention, men.''

''I have been made aware of whispers of despair and mutiny. These are heavy times, and such whispers are not uncommon. But I want to be clear about one thing: I am not a slave to law or order; I chase freedom. Yet, I am not a slave to freedom either. To be a slave to ideals is to be constrained to a singular thought, a singular purpose. We are not slaves to freedom; we are defenders of it.''

''If your heart cannot bear to do an action which defies your instinct or better judgment, it is your right to choose apprehension. If any of you are hesitant to engage in tomorrow's battle, you may hang up your rifle and leave now. You are not my slaves, and you are not the slaves of our dream.''

''But before you do, consider this. My grandfather used to tell me whenever I was scared of the dark that it was not the torch I held in my hand which scared the monsters of the abyss, but the act of holding on to the torch that drove them away.''

''We are outgunned. We are running out of ammunition. Your armor is falling apart. You have broken bones. We are facing certain death. We are not just staring directly at the darkness; we are completely surrounded by it. Our torch is broken and running out of light.''

''But my grandfather was no gullible man. I understood what he meant. We may be outgunned, we may be running out of ammunition, and our armor may be falling apart. We may have broken bones, but what will never break is the will of a man with a dream. We must hold on to the torch. Clench it tightly. The torch shall not be extinguished by death; even beyond death, we pass on the torch.''

''We stand on the shoulders of our fallen comrades, not because we were lucky, but because they have entrusted us to carry on their legacy. They have passed us the torch. The torch burns with the fire of your hearts. To leave the torch behind is to forget the dead, to forget they were even there.''

''We joined the front because the darkness took our homes from us. We joined the front to build our new home. Any home needs a foundation. This home is built on our shoulders, brick by brick. It was because we held on to the torch that we made it here. We fought off the fascists in Alecton. We fought the communists in Erusia. We fought the foreign legions in Tria and liberated Salred. We liberated Delras. We didn't do this because of dumb luck. The hands of the dead placed the bricks we stand on now. We won't just drive the darkness away; we will build our home. Because even if we die, we built the foundations for our children to play on.''

''So I must ask you all again. If you wish to give up the fight, leave now. May Thallas have mercy on our souls. Because even if you will not, Dresa will stand.'' </blockquote>This speech, known colloquially as the [[Decree of Dresa]], has since then been referenced frequently in Larrean literature and media. The words "Dresa will stand" has become the city's motto. The same words are also etched on the navy ship [[USLS Dresa]].

=== Unification ===
2176

Unification front, rebranded to Liberation front, incorporate the remaining factions into the union. States are drawn, the senate and house of representatives is created, and the military is formed. Juliano, leader of the UF since 2172, is elected president in the first election in 2176 as head of the Liberation Front party.

Many parts of the unification were deeply unpopular with certain groups of people within the republic. Especially in the deep north and south it was met with riots and general chaos, and only relented after years of incorporation programs and domestic immigration. The following quote is an interview with an 80 year old veteran and former commander of the communist forces of what is now Areittia: <blockquote>'''''As one of the most decorated veterans of the republic, how did you end up on this remote farm?'''''

''I live a simple life now really. Unlike people the capal don't hold grudges. I got into raising them due to my uncle, who was Sahren. The steppe may look harsh but once you get to really know the landscape it has a simplistic beauty to it. Considering this government has done nothing for me i feel i owe it nothing in return.''

'''''You have been through many events that shaped not only this peninsula, but the entire planet. As many people may know you refused to take the position of minister of defense of the republic. What is your outlook on the current state of Larrea?'''''

''A friend of mine once said that people only care about what you have to say when you have reached the final page of your book. My opinion on these sorts of matters is no more important than any other citizen. You journalists are all the same. You drive all the way here just to ask me this? Then i will tell you this. The foundations of the nation we now reside in are built on lies. Every banner that springs up is no more than paint on cloth. I have shed blood for many banners, and have lost countless comrades to these ideologies. I have concluded that it is meaningless. These banners are only used to wrap around our necks and hang us in the gallows of ignorance. Once upon a time i believed in the power of these banners, and i devoted my life to fighting for them. I gave my fullest for them, and saw the death and destruction that followed as necessary evils for the greater good of the country. But the greater good never gave me anything back, except the coffins of my people. Erusia was built on lies, Doren was built on lies, Panka was built on lies, Forsetti was built on lies, and the cycle only continues now. Everything i fought for only gave me pain and regret in return. Those Delrassi snakes have the gall to kill thousands of my men and then ask me to be part of their government? Did they fall off their capal or something? All these medals they send me won't convince me otherwise, you may as well be pissing on the graves of me and my comrades. The least i can do is spit on their authority. And the Delrats send their pawns to me asking for forgiveness? Go and ask that god of yours for forgiveness for all those you have and continue to kill.''

'''''Thank you sir for your service and your answers, we will be concluding this interview.'''''

''My pleasure, Delrat.'' </blockquote>

'''The United States of Larrea''', also known as '''Larrea''' ''(La-ray-ah)'' or '''Forsetti''', is a country located on the [[Forsetti peninsula]] to the southeast of [[Doren (continent)|Doren,]] in the area known as [[Baskay-Caledon]]. The state of Larrea is a federal presidential constitutional republic, having four states and one special autonomous zone. The state capital is '''New Forsetia''' (''For-see-shah''), located in Delras. The union has a total population of roughly 29 million. It contains some of the largest cities of the region, with the largest being New Forsetia and Ikacci (''E-ka-chi''). The republic was formed after the violent and bloody revolution of 2170, that was followed up by a civil war due to economic and social collapse of the peninsula, tearing up the former nations of Erusia, Delras , Alecton and Forsetti and leading to the deaths of millions. During the revolution, a small military faction in Alecton spearheaded a cause for unification, who had a string of military and social successes which lead to them starting the first drafts of the nation of Larrea shortly thereafter. The date of foundation is to this day still debated, but most agree that the idea of Larrea was started when the [[Unification Front]], now the [[Liberation Front]] political party, was founded, although the first constitution was written in 2175. State independence was held in high regard, and today each of the states have a high level of autonomy. Uniquely, the constitution stated that each of the four original states had to house all or nearly all of each respective military branch. Alecton-Gallante houses the space force, Delras houses the navy, Salred houses the air force and Areittia is home to the army. Notably, South Forsetti is not part of this arrangement because of their late entrance into the republic, although a case could be made that they house [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederate]] military units, completing the five-way military pact.
== Etymology ==
The endonym '''Larrea''' comes from the ancient '''Thalassi''' word for the Forsetti peninsula, ''Lartsuaarreit'', meaning "southern land". Over the centuries the name became more compact and influenced by outside languages, resulting in the later name ''Larrus'' and ''Larreanium'' , eventually becoming ''Larrea''. The name '''Larrea''' became an unoffical name that referred to the Forsetti peninsula, specifically used by members of the Thalassi religion. After the 2170 revolution and civil war the fledgling republic wanted to distance itself from the previous institutions, thus choosing to bring the name back as the official title of the nation as was originally proposed by the unification group. Interestingly, the second part of the word ''Lartsuaarreit'' is also believed to be the origin of the name of ''Erusia'' and ''Areittia,'' although this is still disputed among etymologists.

== The Flag ==
Larrea's flag is a radical departure from the flags that were used historically on the peninsula. After the civil war, a competition was held where everyone in the republic could submit a design to their state government, which would then get sent over to the federal government. This gave the first rendition of the flag in 2176, as well as the design for the seal of the republic. The current design was applied in 2182 by president Azzurri after South Forsetti was formally incorporated into the republic. The Flag of Larrea is built up of three vertical bars, the center bar being blue while the two flanking it are red, with the coat of arms centered in the blue bar. The blue stripe represents hope for the future, as well as the oceans that surround the republic and the skies above all. The red stripes represent the lessons from history and the uncertainty of the future, and the soil of the peninsula. The coat of arms the Forsetian eagle battling the Thalassi kraken above the motto of the republic and five stars. The eagle and kraken both have deep roots within the culture of the peninsula, and their eternal stalemate represents harmony and competition, democracy and theocracy, liberty and dignity and expansion versus enrichment. The motto of the republic also echoes this sentiment. The five stars represent the constituent states that make up the republic. The old flag had the same design but used a stylized icon of the kraken as well as the four stars of the former four states of Larrea. This icon has now become the seal of the government and is used on most federal paperwork and media.

== Geography ==
[[File:Larrea Relief no name final.png|thumb|188x188px|''Geography of the Forsetti peninsula and surroundings.'']]
The shape of the country, considered to be tall and slender, plays a large part in its unique geography. The landscape changes significantly, moving from the shores and jungles of Gary and the Alecton space port, through the bustling metropolis of New Forsetia, through upon the vast fields Delras that feed the nation, through the cold forests of Areittia, and arriving on the frigid shores of South Forsetti. Larrea's topography is marked by the absence of significant mountain ranges, the highest peak located in Alecton-Gallante. Instead, the nation features rolling hills, plateaus, and expansive plains that vary in elevation. The lack of imposing geographical barriers allows for the relatively unrestricted movement of species and the development of unique ecosystems throughout the country. Extensive coastlines along both the western and eastern coasts contribute to Larrea's diverse climate. The northern regions, situated near the equator, experience tropical rainforests, while the southern areas, approaching the South Pole, exhibit colder climates, potentially including tundra or subpolar condition, with the most southern areas being within the arctic circle. Noteworthy is the Forsetti bay, a large body of water that leads to the capital. This bay is the most densely inhabited area in the entire nation, with an estimated 10 million people inhabiting the metropolitan areas surrounding the shores. It is also home to the busiest maritime ports, as well as housing the heart of the Larrean navy.

== States ==

=== Republic of Alecton-Gallante ===
[[File:Alecton.png|left|thumb|174x174px|''Flag of Alecton-Gallante.'']]
The most religious of all the states, the '''Republic of Alecton-Gallante''' has a storied and troubled history, filled with wars, regime changes and devastating losses. The state is distinguished by its profound religiosity, which has both provided solace during times of turmoil and spurred on great achievements. As an integral part of the peninsula, Alecton-Gallante shares the profound maritime heritage that characterizes its neighboring states. Proficiency in naval exploration and fishing is deeply ingrained within its people, a testament to their enduring connection with the surrounding waters. Bolstered by their passionate belief in a storied and sometimes mythical past, the citizens take immense pride in their cultural roots.

Remarkably, Alecton-Gallante has ascended to a position of prominence within the realm of space exploration. Fueled by their religious motivations, the republic has become a preeminent player in the domain of space travel, leveraging this newfound strength to wield considerable influence within the union. Their compelling drive has translated into a robust presence both within the union's legislative body and in various social gatherings, where their fervent ideals have fostered connections and shaped dialogues.

Geographically, the republic's terrain offers a diverse tapestry of landscapes. Within its borders stands the tallest peak found within the entire union. However, this impressive elevation contrasts with the overall flatness that characterizes much of the peninsula. The northern reaches are covered in lush jungles and thriving mangrove forests, an ecological richness that gives way to cultivated farmlands and expansive plains as one journeys southward. The climate is similarly tropical, with large amounts of rainfall in the north and very hot humid summers. Within the sprawling territory, a population of 7.2 million calls Alecton-Gallante home, converging in various urban centers that embody the state's vitality. Also noteworthy is the large population of [[Fegeland|Feguans]] in the state, who arrived on the peninsula centuries before.

At the heart of this spirited republic lies '''Ikacci''', its bustling state capital. With a population numbering 2 million, Ikacci stands as a pivotal urban hub within the union. Its robust populace and vibrant infrastructure make it one of the largest and most dynamic cities within the region. The surrounding areas are also home to some of the largest industrial sectors of the union, with large plants producing high fidelity aerospace grade materials for the military and space industry.
=== Delras ===
[[File:Larrea Delras.png|left|thumb|180x180px|''Flag of Delras.'']]
'''The Federation of Delras''', more commonly known as '''Delras''' stands as the most prominent and influential among the states comprising the union. Its expansive population, totaling a robust 14.4 million residents, serves as a testament to its significance within the larger framework of the nation. Notably, Delras holds the distinction of housing the union's capital, New Forsetia, which mirrors its own substantial population with an impressive count of 4.3 million inhabitants. New Forsetia is distinct from other cities in the union for being a special economic zone, which gives corporations in the city more power and freedom to expand upon their business. This has resulted in the city having the highest average GDP of the union, while also having the highest rates of income inequality in the union. Delras also is home to the Larrean Navy, with the largest military port being the New Forsetia port.

The old capital of '''Dresa''' with a population of 1 million still holds an important position in the state with many of the regional governmental facilities being there. Dresa was home to the final stand of the civil war, and holds a special cultural place within the republic. Many of the older Delrassi residents still staunchly oppose the construction of the capitalist corporate haven which New Forsetia seems to have become and regularly hold protests to move the capital back to Dresa, with some fringe groups even calling for the destruction of New Forsetia.

Politically, Delras occupies a central role, not merely due to its populous cities but also as the custodian of the bulk of Larrea's federal government facilities. The concentrated presence of these pivotal institutions further underscores the state's political weight and command. Nevertheless, the populace's perception of the Delrassi government is mixed. The administration's image is marred by allegations of corruption and bureaucracy, perpetuated by antiquated laws and traditions that, to some, appear incompatible with modern sensibilities. The old communist government is remembered with both hatred and melancholy in the present republic, with many of the older generations having fond memories of the previous government. After the events of 2170, millions of previously Erusian (now Areittian) refugees fled up north to Delras looking for a fresh start to life, together with many many people from neighbouring regions. Since the neighbouring nations were all similar in terms of language and culture this great mix up went smoother than most. What it did result in was Delras becoming the largest and most influential nation due to the population increase. Even though the demographics of Delras were changed massively, the federation still contains the sizeable Blythe community which have lived there for over a century.

However, beyond cultural motifs and political intricacies, Delras boasts a robust economic landscape anchored by its traditional expertise in fishing. It prides itself as the preeminent producer of food and fishing exports throughout the entire union. The state's long-running fishing industry sustains its prominence as a primary contributor to the broader economy. With bountiful access to marine resources, Delras has nurtured a legacy of maritime enterprise that not only feeds its own populace but extends its reach to provide vital sustenance to the entire nation.

Geographically Delras is very flat and lacking of any large mountainous features. The lush agricultural landscape has given rise to a large farming industry, resulting in Larrea as a whole becoming the largest exporter of grain and other goods in the region. The warm gulf in the north gives the northern coast a temperate climate, perfect for agriculture.

=== Salred ===
[[File:Larrea Salred.png|left|thumb|189x189px|''Flag of Salred.'']]
'''The Republic of Salred''', nestled between Areittia and Delras, stands as a pivotal hub for both strategic defence and industrial prowess. Distinguished as the headquarters of the Larrean United Air Force, Salred's strategic significance is underscored by its vast airspace and flat terrain, which accommodates the largest air force base in the region. This geographic advantage has propelled Salred into a preeminent role in the Larrean Air Force, shaping its identity as a guardian of the skies.

The geography is perfectly suited for aviation as was mentioned before. The lack of any major mountains or even large hills makes it the perfect place for industries like farming and large solar and wind energy facilities. Fishing is, just like many of the other states, a large facet of Salred's economy as it has prime access to the Forsetti bay to the west and the ocean to the east. It has a very similar climate to Delras, but more severe storms often pass through Salred originating from the ocean.

With a population of approximately 900,000, Salred exudes a homogenous character that is emblematic of unity amidst diversity. The populace, leaning towards atheism, is recognized for its diligence and industrious spirit. However, this reputation is tinged with perceptions of being humorless and unexciting among their union counterparts. Regardless, Salredis take pride in their technological achievements and domestically manufactured goods, cementing their status as a potent economic force within the union.

Anchored by a thriving economy, Salred is marked by a diversified industrial landscape. The rich expanse of its territorial waters bestows a vibrant fishing industry upon the nation, supplementing its energy and manufacturing sectors. The heartbeat of this industrious nation resonates from its capital city, '''Tria''', where 270,000 souls call home. From its bustling streets to the hum of factories, Tria epitomizes the synergy between urban life and industrial progress.

Salred's political landscape bears the marks of tension and contention. While the nation grapples with an oligarchic regime, dissent and unrest surge through its streets in the form of frequent riots. Yet, this compact nation yields an outsized influence within the union's corridors of power, a testament to its substantial wealth and economic might. As one of the union's financial pillars, Salred commands a significant voice within the union senate, shaping collective decisions and the destiny of the federation.

=== People's Republic of Areittia ===
[[File:Areittia.png|left|thumb|194x194px|''Flag of Areitta.'']]
'''The People's Republic of Areittia''' (''Array-tia, also pronounced Aresia or Arusia in old dialects of Erusi'') otherwise known as '''Areittia''' or the '''PRA''' is the sole socialist state within the union, marked by its distinctive independence, rivaled only by South Forsetti. Emerging as a crucible of transformation shortly after the tumultuous events of the Forsetian unification and the revolution of 2170, Areittia itself underwent a sweeping revolution that redrew its socio-political landscape, away from their previous involvement within the former state of [[Erusia]]. The violent and bloody conflict erupted after the revolution started in Delras, and over a million people perished in what was Erusia as a result of the civil war that took place. Millions more had fled to neighbouring regions. Characterized by a pronounced secular outlook, the state is considered the most atheistic among its counterparts. Despite this, Thalassi Krakenism, once fervently observed by the populace further north, holds minimal sway in the political realm, its influence now largely confined to modest social spheres.

The Areittians themselves stand apart from their northern brethren, marked by a demeanor that reflects their reserved and often chilly environment. This inclination towards introspection mirrors their climate, where mild summers contrast with punishing winters, a climatic duality shaping both character and culture. While the nation is under the continued governance of the ruling socialist party, its once-unassailable popularity wanes progressively as the years unfurl.

Central to Areittia's identity is its integral role in the Larrean army, hosting a substantial portion of its military infrastructure. Despite conscription being a shared norm across the states, Areittia boasts exceptional retention rates among those who continue their service beyond this mandatory period. This phenomenon is attributed to the cultural significance attributed to the role of "warriors" and their dedication to the nation's defense. Home to a population of 1.4 million, the capital city, '''Vemirka''', accommodates 300,000 inhabitants and stands as a nucleus of activity. Notably, it houses the central armory of the union and accommodates a majority of stationed divisions.

Geographically, the landscape is predominantly dominated by taiga forests, interspersed with pockets of tundra to the south. An inclination towards isolationism sets Areittians apart, fostering a distinctive identity that resists assimilation into the larger union. However, rooted in its foundational history, Areittia remains steadfastly loyal and committed to safeguarding Larrea, pledging unwavering defense through any exigencies.

=== Federal Republic of South Forsetti ===
[[File:South Forsetti.png|left|thumb|198x198px|''Flag of South Forsetti.'']]
'''The Federal Republic of South Forsetti''', colloquially known as '''South Forsetti''' or '''Foresti''', stands as the newest member state within the Larrean Republic. Distinguished by its special autonomous zone status, the region plays an integral role in the collective framework of the republic. Originally established as a [[Zokesia|Zokesian]] colony in the 22nd century, South Forsetti emerged as a beacon of hope for displaced Zokesians seeking a fresh start on a new continent following the upheavals of that tumultuous century.

Having changed hands multiple times over nearly two centuries, South Forsetti has steadfastly retained pride in its Zokesian heritage. This cultural continuity led to the development of [[Forsetian Creole]], being a hodgepodge of Zokesian, Arcovii, Delrassi and Erusi. The state, serving as one of the few unscathed areas on the peninsula after 2170, owes its resilience to assistance from the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederacy]]. Despite maintaining a more neutral stance during the conflict, the populace expressed deep sympathy for the hardships faced by those beyond their borders. This sentiment manifested in massive protests and riots demanding the government's active involvement in aiding refugees and supporting restoration efforts.

These protests, occurring both within and outside South Forsetti, culminated in the nation's increased integration into the newly formed republic in 2180. Despite this integration, South Forsetti retains strong ties to the Confederacy and maintains formal membership in many of their organizations. Over the years, the state has progressively aligned itself closer with the Larrean Republic, participating in the Larrean parliament and benefiting from defense provided by a collaborative Larrean and domestic Confederate military coalition. This has resulted in many considering South Forsetti as the unofficial fifth military branch of the republic, due to their unique domestic design language.

The state, with a population of 5 million, ranks as the third most inhabited region in the Larrean Republic. This demographic prominence grants South Forsetti significant social and political influence, allowing the introduction of avant-garde ideas to the wider republic. Geographically, the area experiences mild summers and harsh winters, with snow and ice covering substantial portions of the landscape. While slightly more hilly than other regions, the terrain remains predominantly flat.

The largest city, '''Gralenberg''', with a population of 800,000, serves as the hub for governmental and financial institutions. Historically self-sufficient in food and industry due to its long-standing independence, South Forsetti has witnessed a shift since joining the Larrean Republic. Abandoned grain fields, farms, and factories bear witness to this transformation, as many residents have migrated to urban centers in search of service-oriented employment opportunities.

== Politics ==

=== Government ===
Larrea functions as a federal republic, with two legislative bodies. The senate, otherwise known as the first body, is the upper body, consisting of 50 members. The house of representatives, otherwise known as the lower body, consists of 200 members.

As of 2200, the acting president is Florenzi Montano.

=== Languages ===
While many languages are spoken in the republic, [[Delras|Delrassi]] is by far the most commonly spoken and written. The constitution does not technically have a clause dictating the official language, but since over 80% of the population can natively speak Delrassi it has been unofficially adopted for all government documents and communications. [[Forsetian Creole]] is the second most spoken language, largely due to the state of South Forsetti using it as their main language. All former languages on the Forsetti peninsula were related to eachother, only sharing minor differences in vocabulary and pronounciation. In the 2150's the largest differences in the languages were mostly reorganized and homogenized. Still, the existing speakers of the dialects still insist on their independence. Alectonian, Valerian, Blythe, Salredi and Erusi are thus considered as unofficial languages. The languages that do not originate from the peninsula that are spoken the most are [[Fegeland|Feguan]] and [[Zokesia|Zokesian]]. Feguan is mostly spoken on the northern coast of Alecton, and Zokesian is mostly spoken by the elderly generations in South Forsetti.

=== Military ===
The Larrean armed forces is split up into the army, navy, air force and space force. From 2179 until 2183 the marines were the fifth branch, but they got incorporated into the navy. Each state houses a respective branch, with South Forsetti housing a hybrid defense agreement with the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|confederacy]]. The primary arms manufacturer is [[SPACOM]]. Noteworthy is the controversial [[Thallas Battalion|Thallas battalion]], operating out of Alecton.

Speech by Aurelién Juliano, given the eve of the final battle of Dresa as commander of the city's forces on november 13th 2175 as a response to rumors of mutiny going around the defense forces:<blockquote>''Attention, men.''

''I have been made aware of whispers of despair and mutiny. These are heavy times, and such whispers are not uncommon. But I want to be clear about one thing: I am not a slave to law or order; I chase freedom. Yet, I am not a slave to freedom either. To be a slave to ideals is to be constrained to a singular thought, a singular purpose. We are not slaves to freedom; we are defenders of it.''

''If your heart cannot bear to do an action which defies your instinct or better judgment, it is your right to choose apprehension. If any of you are hesitant to engage in tomorrow's battle, you may hang up your rifle and leave now. You are not my slaves, and you are not the slaves of our dream.''

''But before you do, consider this. My grandfather used to tell me whenever I was scared of the dark that it was not the torch I held in my hand which scared the monsters of the abyss, but the act of holding on to the torch that drove them away.''

''We are outgunned. We are running out of ammunition. Your armor is falling apart. You have broken bones. We are facing certain death. We are not just staring directly at the darkness; we are completely surrounded by it. Our torch is broken and running out of light.''

''But my grandfather was no gullible man. I understood what he meant. We may be outgunned, we may be running out of ammunition, and our armor may be falling apart. We may have broken bones, but what will never break is the will of a man with a dream. We must hold on to the torch. Clench it tightly. The torch shall not be extinguished by death; even beyond death, we pass on the torch.''

''We stand on the shoulders of our fallen comrades, not because we were lucky, but because they have entrusted us to carry on their legacy. They have passed us the torch. The torch burns with the fire of your hearts. To leave the torch behind is to forget the dead, to forget they were even there.''

''We joined the front because the darkness took our homes from us. We joined the front to build our new home. Any home needs a foundation. This home is built on our shoulders, brick by brick. It was because we held on to the torch that we made it here. We fought off the fascists in Alecton. We fought the communists in Erusia. We fought the foreign legions in Tria and liberated Salred. We liberated Delras. We didn't do this because of dumb luck. The hands of the dead placed the bricks we stand on now. We won't just drive the darkness away; we will build our home. Because even if we die, we built the foundations for our children to play on.''

''So I must ask you all again. If you wish to give up the fight, leave now. May Thallas have mercy on our souls. Because even if you will not, Dresa will stand.'' </blockquote>This speech, known colloquially as the [[Decree of Dresa]], has since then been referenced frequently in Larrean literature and media. The words "Dresa will stand" has become the city's motto. The same words are also etched on the navy ship [[USLS Dresa]].

=== Unification ===
2176

Unification front, rebranded to Liberation front, incorporate the remaining factions into the union. States are drawn, the senate and house of representatives is created, and the military is formed. Juliano, leader of the UF since 2172, is elected president in the first election in 2176 as head of the Liberation Front party.

Many parts of the unification were deeply unpopular with certain groups of people within the republic. Especially in the deep north and south it was met with riots and general chaos, and only relented after years of incorporation programs and domestic immigration. The following quote is an interview with an 80 year old veteran and former commander of the communist forces of what is now Areittia: <blockquote>'''''As one of the most decorated veterans of the republic, how did you end up on this remote farm?'''''

''I live a simple life now really. Unlike people the capal don't hold grudges. I got into raising them due to my uncle, who was Sahren. The steppe may look harsh but once you get to really know the landscape it has a simplistic beauty to it. Considering this government has done nothing for me i feel i owe it nothing in return.''

'''''You have been through many events that shaped not only this peninsula, but the entire planet. As many people may know you refused to take the position of minister of defense of the republic. What is your outlook on the current state of Larrea?'''''

''A friend of mine once said that people only care about what you have to say when you have reached the final page of your book. My opinion on these sorts of matters is no more important than any other citizen. You journalists are all the same. You drive all the way here just to ask me this? Then i will tell you this. The foundations of the nation we now reside in are built on lies. Every banner that springs up is no more than paint on cloth. I have shed blood for many banners, and have lost countless comrades to these ideologies. I have concluded that it is meaningless. These banners are only used to wrap around our necks and hang us in the gallows of ignorance. Once upon a time i believed in the power of these banners, and i devoted my life to fighting for them. I gave my fullest for them, and saw the death and destruction that followed as necessary evils for the greater good of the country. But the greater good never gave me anything back, except the coffins of my people. Erusia was built on lies, Doren was built on lies, Panka was built on lies, Forsetti was built on lies, and the cycle only continues now. Everything i fought for only gave me pain and regret in return. Those Delrassi snakes have the gall to kill thousands of my men and then ask me to be part of their government? Did they fall off their capal or something? All these medals they send me won't convince me otherwise, you may as well be pissing on the graves of me and my comrades. The least i can do is spit on their authority. And the Delrats send their pawns to me asking for forgiveness? Go and ask that god of yours for forgiveness for all those you have and continue to kill.''

'''''Thank you sir for your service and your answers, we will be concluding this interview.'''''

''My pleasure, Delrat.'' </blockquote>

'''The United States of Larrea''', also known as '''Larrea''' ''(La-ray-ah)'' or '''Forsetti''', is a country located on the [[Forsetti peninsula]] to the southeast of [[Doren (continent)|Doren,]] in the area known as [[Baskay-Caledon]]. The state of Larrea is a federal presidential constitutional republic, having four states and one special autonomous zone. The state capital is '''New Forsetia''' (''For-see-shah''), located in Delras. The union has a total population of roughly 29 million. It contains some of the largest cities of the region, with the largest being New Forsetia and Ikacci (''E-ka-chi''). The republic was formed after the violent and bloody revolution of 2170, that was followed up by a civil war due to economic and social collapse of the peninsula, tearing up the former nations of Erusia, Delras , Alecton and Forsetti and leading to the deaths of millions. During the revolution, a small military faction in Alecton spearheaded a cause for unification, who had a string of military and social successes which lead to them starting the first drafts of the nation of Larrea shortly thereafter. The date of foundation is to this day still debated, but most agree that the idea of Larrea was started when the [[Unification Front]], now the [[Liberation Front]] political party, was founded, although the first constitution was written in 2175. State independence was held in high regard, and today each of the states have a high level of autonomy. Uniquely, the constitution stated that each of the four original states had to house all or nearly all of each respective military branch. Alecton-Gallante houses the space force, Delras houses the navy, Salred houses the air force and Areittia is home to the army. Notably, South Forsetti is not part of this arrangement because of their late entrance into the republic, although a case could be made that they house [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederate]] military units, completing the five-way military pact.
== Etymology ==
The endonym '''Larrea''' comes from the ancient '''Thalassi''' word for the Forsetti peninsula, ''Lartsuaarreit'', meaning "southern land". Over the centuries the name became more compact and influenced by outside languages, resulting in the later name ''Larrus'' and ''Larreanium'' , eventually becoming ''Larrea''. The name '''Larrea''' became an unoffical name that referred to the Forsetti peninsula, specifically used by members of the Thalassi religion. After the 2170 revolution and civil war the fledgling republic wanted to distance itself from the previous institutions, thus choosing to bring the name back as the official title of the nation as was originally proposed by the unification group. Interestingly, the second part of the word ''Lartsuaarreit'' is also believed to be the origin of the name of ''Erusia'' and ''Areittia,'' although this is still disputed among etymologists.

== The Flag ==
Larrea's flag is a radical departure from the flags that were used historically on the peninsula. After the civil war, a competition was held where everyone in the republic could submit a design to their state government, which would then get sent over to the federal government. This gave the first rendition of the flag in 2176, as well as the design for the seal of the republic. The current design was applied in 2182 by president Azzurri after South Forsetti was formally incorporated into the republic. The Flag of Larrea is built up of three vertical bars, the center bar being blue while the two flanking it are red, with the coat of arms centered in the blue bar. The blue stripe represents hope for the future, as well as the oceans that surround the republic and the skies above all. The red stripes represent the lessons from history and the uncertainty of the future, and the soil of the peninsula. The coat of arms the Forsetian eagle battling the Thalassi kraken above the motto of the republic and five stars. The eagle and kraken both have deep roots within the culture of the peninsula, and their eternal stalemate represents harmony and competition, democracy and theocracy, liberty and dignity and expansion versus enrichment. The motto of the republic also echoes this sentiment. The five stars represent the constituent states that make up the republic. The old flag had the same design but used a stylized icon of the kraken as well as the four stars of the former four states of Larrea. This icon has now become the seal of the government and is used on most federal paperwork and media.

== Geography ==
[[File:Larrea Relief no name final.png|thumb|188x188px|''Geography of the Forsetti peninsula and surroundings.'']]
The shape of the country, considered to be tall and slender, plays a large part in its unique geography. The landscape changes significantly, moving from the shores and jungles of Gary and the Alecton space port, through the bustling metropolis of New Forsetia, through upon the vast fields Delras that feed the nation, through the cold forests of Areittia, and arriving on the frigid shores of South Forsetti. Larrea's topography is marked by the absence of significant mountain ranges, the highest peak located in Alecton-Gallante. Instead, the nation features rolling hills, plateaus, and expansive plains that vary in elevation. The lack of imposing geographical barriers allows for the relatively unrestricted movement of species and the development of unique ecosystems throughout the country. Extensive coastlines along both the western and eastern coasts contribute to Larrea's diverse climate. The northern regions, situated near the equator, experience tropical rainforests, while the southern areas, approaching the South Pole, exhibit colder climates, potentially including tundra or subpolar condition, with the most southern areas being within the arctic circle. Noteworthy is the Forsetti bay, a large body of water that leads to the capital. This bay is the most densely inhabited area in the entire nation, with an estimated 10 million people inhabiting the metropolitan areas surrounding the shores. It is also home to the busiest maritime ports, as well as housing the heart of the Larrean navy.

== States ==

=== Republic of Alecton-Gallante ===
[[File:Alecton.png|left|thumb|174x174px|''Flag of Alecton-Gallante.'']]
The most religious of all the states, the '''Republic of Alecton-Gallante''' has a storied and troubled history, filled with wars, regime changes and devastating losses. The state is distinguished by its profound religiosity, which has both provided solace during times of turmoil and spurred on great achievements. As an integral part of the peninsula, Alecton-Gallante shares the profound maritime heritage that characterizes its neighboring states. Proficiency in naval exploration and fishing is deeply ingrained within its people, a testament to their enduring connection with the surrounding waters. Bolstered by their passionate belief in a storied and sometimes mythical past, the citizens take immense pride in their cultural roots.

Remarkably, Alecton-Gallante has ascended to a position of prominence within the realm of space exploration. Fueled by their religious motivations, the republic has become a preeminent player in the domain of space travel, leveraging this newfound strength to wield considerable influence within the union. Their compelling drive has translated into a robust presence both within the union's legislative body and in various social gatherings, where their fervent ideals have fostered connections and shaped dialogues.

Geographically, the republic's terrain offers a diverse tapestry of landscapes. Within its borders stands the tallest peak found within the entire union. However, this impressive elevation contrasts with the overall flatness that characterizes much of the peninsula. The northern reaches are covered in lush jungles and thriving mangrove forests, an ecological richness that gives way to cultivated farmlands and expansive plains as one journeys southward. The climate is similarly tropical, with large amounts of rainfall in the north and very hot humid summers. Within the sprawling territory, a population of 7.2 million calls Alecton-Gallante home, converging in various urban centers that embody the state's vitality. Also noteworthy is the large population of [[Fegeland|Feguans]] in the state, who arrived on the peninsula centuries before.

At the heart of this spirited republic lies '''Ikacci''', its bustling state capital. With a population numbering 2 million, Ikacci stands as a pivotal urban hub within the union. Its robust populace and vibrant infrastructure make it one of the largest and most dynamic cities within the region. The surrounding areas are also home to some of the largest industrial sectors of the union, with large plants producing high fidelity aerospace grade materials for the military and space industry.
=== Delras ===
[[File:Larrea Delras.png|left|thumb|180x180px|''Flag of Delras.'']]
'''The Federation of Delras''', more commonly known as '''Delras''' stands as the most prominent and influential among the states comprising the union. Its expansive population, totaling a robust 14.4 million residents, serves as a testament to its significance within the larger framework of the nation. Notably, Delras holds the distinction of housing the union's capital, New Forsetia, which mirrors its own substantial population with an impressive count of 4.3 million inhabitants. New Forsetia is distinct from other cities in the union for being a special economic zone, which gives corporations in the city more power and freedom to expand upon their business. This has resulted in the city having the highest average GDP of the union, while also having the highest rates of income inequality in the union. Delras also is home to the Larrean Navy, with the largest military port being the New Forsetia port.

The old capital of '''Dresa''' with a population of 1 million still holds an important position in the state with many of the regional governmental facilities being there. Dresa was home to the final stand of the civil war, and holds a special cultural place within the republic. Many of the older Delrassi residents still staunchly oppose the construction of the capitalist corporate haven which New Forsetia seems to have become and regularly hold protests to move the capital back to Dresa, with some fringe groups even calling for the destruction of New Forsetia.

Politically, Delras occupies a central role, not merely due to its populous cities but also as the custodian of the bulk of Larrea's federal government facilities. The concentrated presence of these pivotal institutions further underscores the state's political weight and command. Nevertheless, the populace's perception of the Delrassi government is mixed. The administration's image is marred by allegations of corruption and bureaucracy, perpetuated by antiquated laws and traditions that, to some, appear incompatible with modern sensibilities. The old communist government is remembered with both hatred and melancholy in the present republic, with many of the older generations having fond memories of the previous government. After the events of 2170, millions of previously Erusian (now Areittian) refugees fled up north to Delras looking for a fresh start to life, together with many many people from neighbouring regions. Since the neighbouring nations were all similar in terms of language and culture this great mix up went smoother than most. What it did result in was Delras becoming the largest and most influential nation due to the population increase. Even though the demographics of Delras were changed massively, the federation still contains the sizeable Blythe community which have lived there for over a century.

However, beyond cultural motifs and political intricacies, Delras boasts a robust economic landscape anchored by its traditional expertise in fishing. It prides itself as the preeminent producer of food and fishing exports throughout the entire union. The state's long-running fishing industry sustains its prominence as a primary contributor to the broader economy. With bountiful access to marine resources, Delras has nurtured a legacy of maritime enterprise that not only feeds its own populace but extends its reach to provide vital sustenance to the entire nation.

Geographically Delras is very flat and lacking of any large mountainous features. The lush agricultural landscape has given rise to a large farming industry, resulting in Larrea as a whole becoming the largest exporter of grain and other goods in the region. The warm gulf in the north gives the northern coast a temperate climate, perfect for agriculture.

=== Salred ===
[[File:Larrea Salred.png|left|thumb|189x189px|''Flag of Salred.'']]
'''The Republic of Salred''', nestled between Areittia and Delras, stands as a pivotal hub for both strategic defence and industrial prowess. Distinguished as the headquarters of the Larrean United Air Force, Salred's strategic significance is underscored by its vast airspace and flat terrain, which accommodates the largest air force base in the region. This geographic advantage has propelled Salred into a preeminent role in the Larrean Air Force, shaping its identity as a guardian of the skies.

The geography is perfectly suited for aviation as was mentioned before. The lack of any major mountains or even large hills makes it the perfect place for industries like farming and large solar and wind energy facilities. Fishing is, just like many of the other states, a large facet of Salred's economy as it has prime access to the Forsetti bay to the west and the ocean to the east. It has a very similar climate to Delras, but more severe storms often pass through Salred originating from the ocean.

With a population of approximately 900,000, Salred exudes a homogenous character that is emblematic of unity amidst diversity. The populace, leaning towards atheism, is recognized for its diligence and industrious spirit. However, this reputation is tinged with perceptions of being humorless and unexciting among their union counterparts. Regardless, Salredis take pride in their technological achievements and domestically manufactured goods, cementing their status as a potent economic force within the union.

Anchored by a thriving economy, Salred is marked by a diversified industrial landscape. The rich expanse of its territorial waters bestows a vibrant fishing industry upon the nation, supplementing its energy and manufacturing sectors. The heartbeat of this industrious nation resonates from its capital city, '''Tria''', where 270,000 souls call home. From its bustling streets to the hum of factories, Tria epitomizes the synergy between urban life and industrial progress.

Salred's political landscape bears the marks of tension and contention. While the nation grapples with an oligarchic regime, dissent and unrest surge through its streets in the form of frequent riots. Yet, this compact nation yields an outsized influence within the union's corridors of power, a testament to its substantial wealth and economic might. As one of the union's financial pillars, Salred commands a significant voice within the union senate, shaping collective decisions and the destiny of the federation.

=== People's Republic of Areittia ===
[[File:Areittia.png|left|thumb|194x194px|''Flag of Areitta.'']]
'''The People's Republic of Areittia''' (''Array-tia, also pronounced Aresia or Arusia in old dialects of Erusi'') otherwise known as '''Areittia''' or the '''PRA''' is the sole socialist state within the union, marked by its distinctive independence, rivaled only by South Forsetti. Emerging as a crucible of transformation shortly after the tumultuous events of the Forsetian unification and the revolution of 2170, Areittia itself underwent a sweeping revolution that redrew its socio-political landscape, away from their previous involvement within the former state of [[Erusia]]. The violent and bloody conflict erupted after the revolution started in Delras, and over a million people perished in what was Erusia as a result of the civil war that took place. Millions more had fled to neighbouring regions. Characterized by a pronounced secular outlook, the state is considered the most atheistic among its counterparts. Despite this, Thalassi Krakenism, once fervently observed by the populace further north, holds minimal sway in the political realm, its influence now largely confined to modest social spheres.

The Areittians themselves stand apart from their northern brethren, marked by a demeanor that reflects their reserved and often chilly environment. This inclination towards introspection mirrors their climate, where mild summers contrast with punishing winters, a climatic duality shaping both character and culture. While the nation is under the continued governance of the ruling socialist party, its once-unassailable popularity wanes progressively as the years unfurl.

Central to Areittia's identity is its integral role in the Larrean army, hosting a substantial portion of its military infrastructure. Despite conscription being a shared norm across the states, Areittia boasts exceptional retention rates among those who continue their service beyond this mandatory period. This phenomenon is attributed to the cultural significance attributed to the role of "warriors" and their dedication to the nation's defense. Home to a population of 1.4 million, the capital city, '''Vemirka''', accommodates 300,000 inhabitants and stands as a nucleus of activity. Notably, it houses the central armory of the union and accommodates a majority of stationed divisions.

Geographically, the landscape is predominantly dominated by taiga forests, interspersed with pockets of tundra to the south. An inclination towards isolationism sets Areittians apart, fostering a distinctive identity that resists assimilation into the larger union. However, rooted in its foundational history, Areittia remains steadfastly loyal and committed to safeguarding Larrea, pledging unwavering defense through any exigencies.

=== Federal Republic of South Forsetti ===
[[File:South Forsetti.png|left|thumb|198x198px|''Flag of South Forsetti.'']]
'''The Federal Republic of South Forsetti''', colloquially known as '''South Forsetti''' or '''Foresti''', stands as the newest member state within the Larrean Republic. Distinguished by its special autonomous zone status, the region plays an integral role in the collective framework of the republic. Originally established as a [[Zokesia|Zokesian]] colony in the 21st century, South Forsetti emerged as a beacon of hope for displaced Zokesians seeking a fresh start on a new continent following the upheavals of that tumultuous century.

Having changed hands multiple times over nearly two centuries, South Forsetti has steadfastly retained pride in its Zokesian heritage. This cultural continuity led to the development of [[Forsetian Creole]], currently the second most spoken language across the continent, being a hodgepodge of Zokesian, Arcovii, Delrassi and Erusi. The state, serving as one of the few unscathed areas on the peninsula after 2170, owes its resilience to assistance from the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|Confederacy]]. Despite maintaining a more neutral stance during the conflict, the populace expressed deep sympathy for the hardships faced by those beyond their borders. This sentiment manifested in massive protests and riots demanding the government's active involvement in aiding refugees and supporting restoration efforts.

These protests, occurring both within and outside South Forsetti, culminated in the nation's increased integration into the newly formed republic in 2180. Despite this integration, South Forsetti retains strong ties to the Confederacy and maintains formal membership in many of their organizations. Over the years, the state has progressively aligned itself closer with the Larrean Republic, participating in the Larrean parliament and benefiting from defense provided by a collaborative Larrean and domestic Confederate military coalition. This has resulted in many considering South Forsetti as the unofficial fifth military branch of the republic, due to their unique domestic design language.

The state, with a population of 5 million, ranks as the third most inhabited region in the Larrean Republic. This demographic prominence grants South Forsetti significant social and political influence, allowing the introduction of avant-garde ideas to the wider republic. Geographically, the area experiences mild summers and harsh winters, with snow and ice covering substantial portions of the landscape. While slightly more hilly than other regions, the terrain remains predominantly flat.

The largest city, '''Gralenberg''', with a population of 800,000, serves as the hub for governmental and financial institutions. Historically self-sufficient in food and industry due to its long-standing independence, South Forsetti has witnessed a shift since joining the Larrean Republic. Abandoned grain fields, farms, and factories bear witness to this transformation, as many residents have migrated to urban centers in search of service-oriented employment opportunities.

Connected with the [[Larrean-Ikonic Super Highway|Larrean-Ikonic superhighway]] and the [[Larrikonic Junnel|Junnel]] to [[Ikonia]].

=== Languages ===
While many languages are spoken in the republic, [[Delras|Delrassi]] is by far the most commonly spoken and written. The constitution does not technically have a clause dictating the official language, but since over 80% of the population can natively speak Delrassi it has been unofficially adopted for all government documents and communications. [[Forsetian Creole]] is the second most spoken language, largely due to the state of South Forsetti using it as their main language. All former languages on the Forsetti peninsula were related to eachother, only sharing minor differences in vocabulary and pronounciation. In the 2150's the largest differences in the languages were mostly reorganized and homogenized. Still, the existing speakers of the dialects still insist on their independence. Alectonian, Valerian, Blythe, Salredi and Erusi are thus considered as unofficial languages. The languages that do not originate from the peninsula that are spoken the most are [[Fegeland|Feguan]] and [[Zokesia|Zokesian]]. Feguan is mostly spoken on the northern coast of Alecton, and Zokesian is mostly spoken by the elderly generations in South Forsetti.

=== Military ===
The Larrean armed forces is split up into the army, navy, air force and space force. From 2179 until 2183 the marines were the fifth branch, but they got incorporated into the navy. Each state houses a respective branch, with South Forsetti housing a hybrid defense agreement with the [[Arcovii-Zokesia|confederacy]]. The primary arms manufacturer is [[SPACOM]]. Noteworthy is the controversial [[Thallas Battalion|Thallas battalion]], operating out of Alecton.

Speech by Aurelién Juliano, given the eve of the final battle of Dresa as commander of the city's forces on november 13th 2175 as a response to rumors of mutiny going around the defense forces:<blockquote>''Attention, men.''

''I have been made aware of whispers of despair and mutiny. These are heavy times, and such whispers are not uncommon. But I want to be clear about one thing: I am not a slave to law or order; I chase freedom. Yet, I am not a slave to freedom either. To be a slave to ideals is to be constrained to a singular thought, a singular purpose. We are not slaves to freedom; we are defenders of it.''

''If your heart cannot bear to do an action which defies your instinct or better judgment, it is your right to choose apprehension. If any of you are hesitant to engage in tomorrow's battle, you may hang up your rifle and leave now. You are not my slaves, and you are not the slaves of our dream.''

''But before you do, consider this. My grandfather used to tell me whenever I was scared of the dark that it was not the torch I held in my hand which scared the monsters of the abyss, but the act of holding on to the torch that drove them away.''

''We are outgunned. We are running out of ammunition. Your armor is falling apart. You have broken bones. We are facing certain death. We are not just staring directly at the darkness; we are completely surrounded by it. Our torch is broken and running out of light.''

''But my grandfather was no gullible man. I understood what he meant. We may be outgunned, we may be running out of ammunition, and our armor may be falling apart. We may have broken bones, but what will never break is the will of a man with a dream. We must hold on to the torch. Clench it tightly. The torch shall not be extinguished by death; even beyond death, we pass on the torch.''

''We stand on the shoulders of our fallen comrades, not because we were lucky, but because they have entrusted us to carry on their legacy. They have passed us the torch. The torch burns with the fire of your hearts. To leave the torch behind is to forget the dead, to forget they were even there.''

''We joined the front because the darkness took our homes from us. We joined the front to build our new home. Any home needs a foundation. This home is built on our shoulders, brick by brick. It was because we held on to the torch that we made it here. We fought off the fascists in Alecton. We fought the communists in Erusia. We fought the foreign legions in Tria and liberated Salred. We liberated Delras. We didn't do this because of dumb luck. The hands of the dead placed the bricks we stand on now. We won't just drive the darkness away; we will build our home. Because even if we die, we built the foundations for our children to play on.''

''So I must ask you all again. If you wish to give up the fight, leave now. May Thallas have mercy on our souls. Because even if you will not, Dresa will stand.'' </blockquote>This speech, known colloquially as the [[Decree of Dresa]], has since then been referenced frequently in Larrean literature and media. The words "Dresa will stand" has become the city's motto. The same words are also etched on the navy ship [[USLS Dresa]].

=== Unification ===
2176

Unification front, rebranded to Liberation front, incorporate the remaining factions into the union. States are drawn, the senate and house of representatives is created, and the military is formed. Juliano, leader of the UF since 2172, is elected president in the first election in 2176 as head of the Liberation Front party.

Many parts of the unification were deeply unpopular with certain groups of people within the republic. Especially in the deep north and south it was met with riots and general chaos, and only relented after years of incorporation programs and domestic immigration. The following quote is an interview with an 80 year old veteran and former commander of the communist forces of what is now Areittia: <blockquote>'''''As one of the most decorated veterans of the republic, how did you end up on this remote farm?'''''

''I live a simple life now really. Unlike people the capal don't hold grudges. I got into raising them due to my uncle, who was Sahren. The steppe may look harsh but once you get to really know the landscape it has a simplistic beauty to it. Considering this government has done nothing for me i feel i owe it nothing in return.''

'''''You have been through many events that shaped not only this peninsula, but the entire planet. As many people may know you refused to take the position of minister of defense of the republic. What is your outlook on the current state of Larrea?'''''

''A friend of mine once said that people only care about what you have to say when you have reached the final page of your book. My opinion on these sorts of matters is no more important than any other citizen. You journalists are all the same. You drive all the way here just to ask me this? Then i will tell you this. The foundations of the nation we now reside in are built on lies. Every banner that springs up is no more than paint on cloth. I have shed blood for many banners, and have lost countless comrades to these ideologies. I have concluded that it is meaningless. These banners are only used to wrap around our necks and hang us in the gallows of ignorance. Once upon a time i believed in the power of these banners, and i devoted my life to fighting for them. I gave my fullest for them, and saw the death and destruction that followed as necessary evils for the greater good of the country. But the greater good never gave me anything back, except the coffins of my people. Erusia was built on lies, Doren was built on lies, Panka was built on lies, Forsetti was built on lies, and the cycle only continues now. Everything i fought for only gave me pain and regret in return. Those Delrassi snakes have the gall to kill thousands of my men and then ask me to be part of their government? Did they fall off their capal or something? All these medals they send me won't convince me otherwise, you may as well be pissing on the graves of me and my comrades. The least i can do is spit on their authority. And the Delrats send their pawns to me asking for forgiveness? Go and ask that god of yours for forgiveness for all those you have and continue to kill.''

'''''Thank you sir for your service and your answers, we will be concluding this interview.'''''

''My pleasure, Delrat.'' </blockquote>
