Communist Graditora[edit | edit source]
1898 a communist Emperor Konst took the throne and incited a Communist rule. Voting of a new Emperor was restricted and people were unable to flee the state. Those who had not voted for them or were caught trying to leave were placed into concentration camps. Konst had Graditora on complete lock down under his rule. Corruption increased as many politicians took bribes to back up adgendas they had not originally supported and border guards were also bribed for Graditorans to leave the country to find political refuge. Konst and his Red army became more powerful as public funds from military civil works were being reduced and sometimes completely removed to increase the amount of soldiers possible to field, this included necessities like food and housing, advanced weaponry. But the funds didn't stop there a good majority at the end of his rule went into experimentation. He did enjoy this rule until 1913. 1912 the Graditorans once again rebeled. The military joined in just a month afterwards as the original Commanders who commanded the armies before Konst returned. A large majority of the military were not so loyal to their cruel Communist officers. In one swift year the communist rule was no more and the people of Graditora created a constitution on how much power an Emperor could have and how he may rule the people. The first time in a thousand years an emperors rule was questioned. Something at the time most citizens were new too. The time after this procured a huge amount of military support as if it weren't without the old military commanders who came back the rebellion was sure to be crushed.

The Rain War[edit | edit source]
1980 Peoplist attack that lasted for two months that took place in the underground subways in Holderstat. Rain during the time was continuous and many religious people named this war a one of religion rather then ideology because they believed their gods were crying due to the large amount of bloodshed. Infantry fighting was harsh and the atrocities of war was great. Most deaths occurred from melees that broke out as the ranges of combat were close to around 30 meters. Template:Wpl after the war was very prevalent and suicide rates increased but have decreased substantially since he mid 1990's. Many soldiers have been buried in the subways; terrorist alike due to the explosives used to close off lines.
Peoplist Rising[edit | edit source]
1993 Failed Peoplist revolution. Peoplists for the first time had procured a large amount of support for their cause and was able to grab a large chunk of undeveloped land in the north. The war had only lasted a year but had proven the support of the peoplists were getting to scary levels. A majority of the fighters were later discovered to be foreign mercenaries and old Rain War veterans. Outcome: Peoplist Defeat and loss of leader, Graditoran victory
Geography[edit | edit source]
The land of Graditora is very diverse. In the north, subarctic, to the south a marine coastal climate, and every were else is ruled by a humid continental climate. Many grasslands rule the interior of Graditora along with forestry.
Plant Life[edit | edit source]
Many kinds of trees are found in Graditora as well as plants. The two most prominent are the Oak and Pine. A few subspecies and other species of tree are findable but not as prominent. Grass covered hills roll about in the unsettled parts of Graditora were logging had cut them down and new saplings grow. Nature is mostly at peace within the country as permitted but wildlife is known to get violent.
Animals[edit | edit source]
Animals grace the land. One of which is the nations national animal. The Northern King Scorpion. Chosen as the nations symbol was elected over the bear during the the early start of a reborn Graditora by it's great hero Titus Orilious due to the the little creatures ability to survive in the harshest of environments, hot or cold. Titus saw this a powerful symbol for the people to rally under. Survivability. Deer, bears, and many other animals roam as well. A notable bear species would be the black bear. Birds of prey like the hawk and eagle have made a form of border with each other and have made themselves natural enemies due to the fighting over food. Eagles are found mostly to the east while hawks are found to the west.
War Remnants[edit | edit source]
Statues of warriors from ancient times hidden away can be found many of which were made for the famous hero and founder Titus and for his generals who led the revolt. War time materials on government have been removed due to orders of King Scor in 2012. On private property rather than giving government aid to remove the material was mostly rejected due to most land owners ability to salvage them and sell them to war reenacters.
Politics[edit | edit source]
Foreign Relations[edit | edit source]
Kolintha- "WIP" Kolintha's relations with Graditora are strong, but there is a lot of mistrust on the Kolish side; because the current Konzhun views the Graditorans as having more loyalty to their wallets than their alliance to GAP. Which may not be strictly true, but Kolish politicians are rarely very picky about exact details. Also, since Kolintha has a massive arms industry, there would of course be natural competition over clients in and outside the GAP sphere of influence.
Military[edit | edit source]
- Main article: Graditoran Armed Forces
Economy[edit | edit source]
A source of wealth in Graditora is made extensively by the free trade and movement of material.
Arms Manufacturing[edit | edit source]
A major supplier of the wealth is run by Arms Manufacturing licensed under Graditoran officials with special rights that other citizens cannot achieve. 3 companies run this trade. Graditoran Arms, MacTavish Armor and Weapons, and the GAPR. Simply put, GAPR is all privately own weapons manufacturers put under one reference and are required to register weaponry with regulators before selling to private citizens. Graditoran Arms is a government funded and ran citizen company not under a branch of the military. The GA produce many types of weaponry not restricted by the law. Prototype vehicles are also licensed to be produced in the GA. MacTavish Armor and Weapons is a long time civilian owned company close to Walther or Springfield. They employ weapons to GR police and citizens alike as well as foreign governments. MacTavish also incorporates a long slew of smaller high end technology and manufacturing facilities to ensure top quality assurance that while support the arms industry have known to switch production lines to domestic products to increase profit margins.
Electronics[edit | edit source]
Electronics creates the largest amount of money flow in Graditora due to heavy demand by foreign and domestic citizens. Cameras, phones, computers all flow rapidly and are updated, renewed, and advanced further everyday. New technologies and discovery in the digital world are being explored. With such determined researchers and manufacturers electronic devices are being produced in grand numbers greatly exceeding Arms Manufacturing in money terms but not by supply. It is predicted that by 2015 electronic marketing will over rule weapons making and force the GR government to remove some funding from the GA.
Logging[edit | edit source]
Logging within the nation is slowing down. Environmentalist activists force the government to change it's policies from strip cutting to selectively harvesting a select patch of forest and then replanting them. Laws enacted in 2012 added new laws to citizens and timber companies as well unless under special permission or license.
Tourism[edit | edit source]
Tourism from neighboring nations is also well documented. Due to the the southern part of the land having such great weather unlike the rest due to maritime coast patterns bringing warmer weather with it. The beautiful beaches are kept clean and hotels are erected by them making Graditora one of the major hotspots to visit from foreigners and GR citizens alike.
