(Flag of legion)
“...Let us draw up our arms, Our bodies shall never tire. So that we shall have our nation flag still fly...”- National anthem of legion (yes I have written a whole national anthem as well as serval propaganda songs for this nation and no I don’t have a problem :) )​

Almost every part of a citizen of legion life is in some way involves the military. From the age of five when a child is enrolled into school he is showed how to write and read as well as use a gun and guerrilla tactics. The legion calf while based off the Boy Scouts teaches the boys how to make weapons and work as an military man or woman. It is required that everyone at least know how to use a weapon and some states of the nation you must have a gun.

From school teachers to doctors almost every one in the nation is armed to the teeth.Men woman and even children are showed how to use a gun. Almost every factory in the nation can be converted to a war time factory which can pump out tanks and bombs if needed. Bunkers are in almost every public building and gas masks are given away to school kids.

Legion code of an warrior is similar to ww2 era japan with many members killing themself rather being captured. This was first displayed in a battle in the Venezuelan conflict when Legionarie volunteers straps bombs to themselves and ran under US tanks to by time. Legion general Hannah HellFire described it as simply horrifying. it was often said if an invasion of legion took place they would fight to the last man.

this isn’t always the truth and when it’s isn’t the all powerful NSS makes sure they don’t cause to much of a problem. The NSS is known for there parade and goose stepping parade and marches as well as making people disappear into the night.

Legion special forces are chosen from child hood and raised with complete loyalty to the state and the ideology of legion. The first generation of special forces being ex child soldier of the pre war Africa at the end of there training they are given as sword like the one seen above which are made up of a titanium blade with tungsten carbide edge as a side weapons.​
 
So I'm going to be reworking the Raider entry on Land of Confusion: Genesis with it being a bit more in depth.

Basic idea...
  • Many of them follow a mutual religion that has elements mostly from both Aztec and Norse beliefs (so yeah Valhalla and blood sacrifices to strengthen the gods against the dark serpent god), along with some obvious cues from Abrahamic faiths and your standard Hollywood cargo cult.
  • They don't go raiding and pillaging 24/7 in fact most of them have regular professions outside of combat, such as carpentry, welding, mechanics, farming, medicine etc. Doesn't hurt that they still have machinery and labor saving machines that still function to make farming easier.
  • With new civilizations starting to pop up plenty of them figured that they can make quite a bit of money guarding merchant Caravans, taxing them to go through their turf or moving into "civilized" lands. Afterall there are plenty of jobs for a skilled Mechanic who can make his own machine parts and build vehicles from scratch.

Chris Pratt in a still of The Lone Ranger, a movie based on the timeless book and TV series that was popular in the Republic of Texas and the United States. The movie would be released to critical acclaim, and a huge opening week at the box office. This would also help to solidify Chris Pratt as an A list actor, which would lead to roles in Jurassic World, Star-Lord of the Galaxy, and The Kid
Looks awesome

With the head of the command almost completely destroyed, surviving military factions, loyalist and Hitler youth (Like those seen above) would fight throughout the rubble of their nation like their enemies were once forced to fight.

The surviving loyalist still willing to fight for and avenge their now destroyed Reich would come at odds with Soviet forces, whom would still continue relentlessly through Germany, sweeping through the rubble and showing no mercy.

Hugo Sperrle, the former Generalfeldmarschall of the Luftwaffe, whom was among the few survivors of the bombing, would be used by the allied powers to talk surviving Nazi loyalist and allies to lay down arms. His life would be spared, and he would retire to Munich, where he would die of radiation sickness in 1949.​

Wilhelm I/William IV, King of Prussia from 1800, and of Great Britain and of Ireland from 1802, King of the Anglo-Prussian Union. The eldest grandson of Queen Anne II, he became heir following the death of his father in 1788, and had assumed the throne of Prussia on the death of his grandfather in 1800. By the time of his assumption of the British crown, he was thirty-seven years of age.

Wilhelm would garner a mixed reception. His reign marked a long period of strength, development and growth for the realms under his rule, both in Europe and North America, and would see the formal beginning of the Anglo-Prussian Union - this saw him win sizeable support from those who benefited materially from such growth. Moreover, he would work to attempt to end the lingering issue of Jacobitism: officially dubbing his dynasty the House of Stuart-Hohenzollern; working to try to tie both Scotland and Ireland more closely to the dynasty by granting a number of concessions; and working to try to build support in those nations. However, he would prove to be a more active monarch than the British Parliament might have liked: in Prussia, he continued to hold a great deal of official power; and in Britain he would exert large amounts of unofficial influence - including influence obtained through less than fair means - to ensure that legislation he supported or championed made its way through Parliament. Between this and periodic vocal clashes with more recalcitrant parliamentarians, as well as the considerable clout he wielded among the representatives of the Union Diet, his level of personal power was such that some in Parliament considered him a would-be tyrant. Such rhetoric, indeed, would be repeated in the New Leveller movement and their revolt in 1809, the violence of which led to a growth in support for the monarch (already popular thanks to his relative youth, vigour and his service in the Hussars) for his suppression of the movement, and the realisation among Parliament that his position was too strong to try to limit.

Despite his uptime-influenced education and the influence of his grandmother Anne II, Wilhelm proved in many ways to be a more reactionary monarch than either herself or his grandfather, seeing a strengthening of traditional institutions and firm rule from the centre as being vital to the stability of the nation. While he was willing to accept certain social changes needed for continued growth - and was supportive of commoners being able to better themselves, championing a number of educational and other reforms to that effect - he was a firm opponent of ‘rule by the mob’, preferring to keep the franchise in the hands of property-owners.

In certain areas, interestingly, he would prove less reactionary, accepting his eldest daughter Victoria’s desire to become a Naval Officer (and overseeing a slow but definite expansion of the numbers of women ‘from good backgrounds’ in the military). Moreover, despite a degree of personal ambivalence about such relationships in general, on his grandmother’s death one of his first acts was to provide her lifelong ‘companion’ Maria, Duchess of Leeds, with a generous pension and other amenities for the remaining decade of her life.

Edinburgh Castle. This was chosen by King Wilhelm as the official headquarters of the Union Diet for the Anglo-Prussian Union, as a concession to Scottish pride.

The Union had been pending for some time, and would, after much debate and horse-trading, formally emerge as a political institution during the first year of Wilhelm’s reign. Under it, the constituent nations would maintain sovereignty and freedom of movement in many matters, but would have free trade between them, and key military, colonial and trade matters would be decided by the Diet. Britain and Prussia each chose twenty representatives for the Diet, while Ireland and the North American Colonies (not Cuba or Florida, as these were directly ruled from Britain each sent ten, with prospects for increased representation over time. The monarch, meanwhile, would act as a mediator over the Diet.

In addition to the above, while Britain and Prussia maintained distinct militaries, they would form a shared military command structure so that in time of war, officers of sufficient seniority would be able to command different forces easily. This measure provoked the strongest debate (British admirals were aghast at taking orders from Prussians at sea, while Prussian generals were less than pleased at the idea of Prussian regiments coming under British command) but the matter would ultimately be resolved).

The Union has had challenges over the years but, this far, it remains united and strong.

Even before the Three Years War, Prussian settlers had been joining British in North America, and the numbers would grow rapidly afterwards, as Prussian and British veterans - particularly those who had fought the Planters - were given land grants in return for service (they were considered potentially loyal, and often formed the backbone of post-war militias).

(Propaganda photo Of the current and first High Chancellor BlackHeart)​

A genetic experiment between two powerful vampires Adze and Angelique in a top secret late war project called Projects Valkyrie in which the Nazis would use magic and reverse engineered alien technology in hope of winning the war. BlackHeart would go missing after 1945 and ended up working for apartheid South Africa (all though he would denounced racism saying it was “as idiotic as thinking your reflection is some one different). While there he would in secret rebuild the Nazi vampire army under his control hiding them in Antarctica. BlackHeart would also go on to make contacts and agents on both sides of the Cold War building a webs intelligence networks. After the fall of white rule he was in prison in a South African bunker where he had stored only a small amount of the old yet still advance German super weapon. Until the summer of 2019 where a mad South African socialist with mind control power would rise to power calling himself King Solomon would use BlackHeart to try to take over other nations. Solomon kingdom fell in less than a month. This was all apart of BlackHearts larger plan that would soon be set in motion after the failed alien invasion of March 15,2020.

There is no doubt that legion isn’t anything, but a police state. The watching eye over every citizen they have their own closed off versions of the internet news are censored and people are taken away in the middle of the night. And major purges are not too uncommon. The largest of which was called “the night of the crying bull” where over 5,000 people were killed purged and in prisoned. Churches are under the thumb of the government a preach legion modified version of approved religions. There reports of prison slave labor and other horrors best not spoken of in legion.

The Indian soldiers shown here exemplify one way Germany affected India during its early days of independence. Namely, in terms of army equipment. However, the alliance went sour when it was revealed that Hitler was trying to Germanize the entire country via both overt and subtle tactics.

The closest that The Great Arms Race ever came to nuclear war was during the Thai Civil War. During that time, American, Chinese, and Commonwealth forces, the latter of mainly ANZAC and Malay stock, would go in to fight on the side of the Blue Elephant group of rebels. Whereas the Franco-Brazilian-Japanese alliance funded the military regime of Thanom Kittikachorn.

20VIETNAM-PRINT1-articleLarge.jpg

Thankfully, the closest Anglo-American and Franco-Japanese groups ever got to fighting each other was in Chiang Mai, and that was only because several ANZACs mistook Japanese forces for Thai government forces. They backed down however when the Japanese soldiers showed their flag in hopes of keeping the ANZACs from shooting.

After being fished out of the Kaw River, Santa Fe 2-8-2s #3167 and #4076 were overhauled and each hauled one Kansas City to Tulsa freight before retirement. However, their fame as the "Kaw River Engines" after being fished out thanks to wartime traffic led to the two engines being preserved. The former, shown above, went to operate on the Abeline & Smokey Valley Railroad, while #4076 went on to be displayed to Chillicothe, IL.
