Gebreekistan

How Gebreekistan Colapsed
Gebreekistan collapsed for multiple reasons, but they can all be divided along two categories, political (the political issues with gebreekistan and economic (the various factors that ruined the economy and people’s reactions)

Political Factors
There were many factors with gebreekistan’s politics that caused them to collapse such as the incompetence of the govement, refusing to fire incompetent/corrupt officals and more importantly the political polarization of gebreekistan caused by a mix of the stardard of living declining rapidly and the rapidly declining and the normalization of extremeist beliefs causing the people becoming increasingly divided and extreme in their political views with both sides’ beliefs becoming increasingly detached from reality with politicians fueling both sides' delusions.

Economic Factors
The gebreekistani economy collapsed in the years leading up to the end, with the government being in hopeless amounts of debts, they tried to print more currency to pay off the debt causing hyperinflation thus causing the already declining standard of living to take a nosedive, this paired with the job pool shrinking caused the economy to collapse. With this economic collapse and lack of jobs, people turned to crime (with many gebreekistani of the gebreekistani raider gangs getting their start as crime gangs) with people fighting in the streets over food and farmers refusing to sell food, instead stockpiling it for themselves and their family causing widespread famine causing even more crime and lead to attacks on farmers who didn’t sell their food which caused more farmers to refuse to sell their food which caused even more starvation which caused more crime and attacks on farms(and repeat that ad nauseam). The few farmers that were still willing to sell food couldn't after space freighters and truckers went on strike (ironically due to the lack of food) causing even more chaos.

The Inevitable Collapse PT.1: Prologue
With all the chaos going on Gebreekistan finally collapsed in the year 1621 DY-AF with a series of riots, insurrections, and rebellions known as the final carnage which despite the name was only just the beginning of the carnage…

The Inevitable Collapse PT.2: The Fall
As previously mentioned, gebreekistan collapsed due to a variety of political and economic problems which all boiled over into the “final carnage” which started with the Ai’ad, a species whose homeworld of Gal-Valar was colonized by gebreekistan in the distant past declaring independence, soon after a group of members of the outfit, a powerful criminal group seizing control of the city of Yassav and a group far-left rebels seizing control of the planet Siav and declaring independence. Meanwhile in a deep space blacksite somewhere colonel arton, a one-of-a-kind AI general in control of all robots in the country declared martial law, vowing to restore order at all costs even if it meant instating themself as a dictator. This horrified the operating crew at the base who attempted to shut down the rogue robot only to be massacred by the base's defenses. Meanwhile riots and looting broke out everywhere, the population already angered by the inaction of the government on all the major issues listed above was finally pushed over the edge by the Siav rebellion, remaining government forces tried to hold the line but were helpless. What’s left of the government’s elites (politicians, generals, etc.) started to fracture with some fleeing Leviagrav to form a “provisional government” elsewhere and others staying in an attempt to get what’s left of the army to maintain order even as rioters started seizing entire cities eventually the ones that stayed declared themselves the leviagrav republic. The only thing anyone truly knew was simple, gebreekistan was dead…

The Inevitable Collapse PT.3: A Song Of Gavba Sticks And Mobsters
With the total breakdown of gebreekistani society that had just occurred many people eventually formed raider gangs such as the Armageddon Stealers, a raider gang founded by members of a Gavba (a popular sport where players attempt to beat up of another group with padded/foam sticks) team known as the Kalad Stealers, these raiders quickly proved themselves to be a formidable and surprisingly well organized force with their commissioner being a surprisingly talented general and combined with the people in the stadium needing little convincing to join their newly formed raider gang they quickly almost all fifteen thousand people at the stadium were at their disposal. With their massive amount of manpower they quickly amassed considerable influence and captured almost all of Kalad city… Meanwhile in Yassav, the outfit was consolidating power with the outfit’s goons managing to keep the population in check through brute force. With their already (relatively) strong army of criminals and easy access to firearms to use and narcotics to sell, the outfit quickly managed to secure a large portion of Alzatav (the planet Yassav is on).

The Inevitable Collapse PT.4: First Contact
Being so close to several countries, it was only inevitable that those other countries would stumble upon Gebreekistan eventually. In the year 1626 DY-AF, a psion explorer fleet arrived at the scene of a space battle between the provisional government, the Ai’ad Unitary state and the Armageddon stealers, ultimately choosing to assist the Ai’ad and together, they routed the other fleets. This and several other diplomatic events lead to the psion empire formally agreeing to help the Ai’ad if they were given access to the system that they believed were theirs…

Two months later, Mega Munitions found the provisional government and agreed to help them if they agreed to buy products from Mega Munitions. Not that long after this alliance the yakkes (named after a large bear-like animal on centaurus), a street gang from Tallos was muscled out by another gang and decided to flee to gebreekistan where they believed that even in their weakened state they were powerful enough to carve out a small bit of territory and prosper.

The Factions
There are many trying to gain more power over gebreekistan however there are currently only 8 that realistically have a chance at unifying the region

Gebreekistani Provisional Goverment
Bearing the traditional gebreekistani flag, the provisional government is a powerful faction based in the important city of Terrgrav. Being backed by the juggernaut that is mega munitions, they have gone from the brink of collapse to an immensely powerful force.

Ai’ad Unitary State
Founded by a group of far-right Ai’ad ultranationalists, the Ai’ad Unitary State wishes to get revenge on gebreekistan for colonizing their homeworld, with psion aid they have became a powerhouse that currently is seen to have the best shot at re-unifying the region.

Col. Arton
Created as a proof-of-concept for robotic commanders, Arton proved themself to be a talented leader, eventually getting total control of all military/police robots in the country with the good colonel doing everything in his power to prevent gebreekistan from collapsing. They managed to contest control of Cowsmaodia, preventing total communist takeover with Arton’s forces holding the line and making use of their limited resources tremendously. Arton has proven themself to be an amazing general with his defensive strategy and hyper-efficient supply usage allowing for them to hold the line despite near impossible odds such as the siege of Fort Tallon which has been encircled, receiving minimal supplies from orbital drops and has still held out since the final carnage.

Leviagrav Republic
Founded by remnants of the government who decided to remain in Leviagrav, the leviagrav republic has garnered a reputation for having an incompetent army (manly due to an aging, inefectual general staff and outdated command system) that being said, the Leviagrav republic’s army at one point was the most powerful in gebreekistan with the most advanced equipment and best command system, general staff and industry. However due to not only forgin intervention they have lost this edge as the provisional government and Ai’ad have now been given better gear and adopted the command structures of their much more modernized allies.

Kalamo Survivalist Coalition
The Kalamo Survivalist Coalition was founded by citizens of various rural communities, survivalists who fled to Kalamo National Park and normal people who were out camping when the final carnage happened. With the breakdown of agriculture that had occurred before and during the carnage, groups such as the survivalists gained tremendous influence due to their ability to grow crops, with a ton of agricultural knowledge being lost due to most planets farmers being slaughtered for hoarding food before the carnage.

The Outfit
Previously the most powerful organized criminal organization in gebreekistan, they have now evolved into some weird criminal empire where the boss acts like a dictator with total control of his gangster army. They have ambitions of turning Gebreekistan into the crime capital of the galaxy where all crimes are planned and organized crime syndicates can meet risk free.

The Order Of Kai’dve Independence
The order of Kai’dve independence is a breakaway state that is currently attempting to secede from the provisional government believing that Mega Munitions wishes to turn gebreekistan into a puppet state to fuel their own ends; they started this civil war in a civil war a year ago after a failed coup attempt.

The Armageddon Stealers
Founded by former members of a sports team (and their fans) the Stealers have quickly became a force to be reckoned with, with their army of fans driving ramshackle vehicles wearing/armed with repurposed sporting gear, they are quickly becoming a powerful faction.

Siav Commune
Founded during the final carnage by a group of far left rebels who seized control of Siav and parts of Cowsmadia, the Siav commune is a powerful faction with ambitions of spreading the revolution to the entire galaxy.

The Yakkes
Hailing from the crime laden parts of Tallos, the yakkes (named after a large bear-like animal on centaurus) were muscled out by another gang known as the kighraz (named after a form of predatory fish) recently and fled to gebreekistan. Now that they are in gebreekistan they only really wish to go around and cause mayhem. However they have proved to be a fairly ineffectual force but recently they have started meeting with the outfit to discuss an alliance. The yakkes also lack an actual logo, instead opting to use a drawing of a hand doing their gang sign (index finger, middle finger and pinky finger raised all others lowered).
