>>68917003>>68917796In this setting, Holoslavia (HoloEN and HoloJP) and Ichikara (NijiJP and NijiEN) were locked in a decade long conflict from 1977 to 1987, with Holoslavia backed primarily by the Eastern Bloc and Ichikara backed by NATO and the U.S. Ichikara invaded first and penetrated up to until the Sava River, but were later pushed back by the Holoslavs up to what would be the equivalent of Thessalonica in Greece (I named it 'Nijigrad' but I'll probably change it to something like Diamond City in Turkish). However, the Holoslavs were forced to retreat from Ichikara because of mounting debts from the IMF and pressure from NATO and the United States to back off (at least, this is what "officially" happened). Ethyria, or Albania on the map, has been turned into a DMZ of sorts between the two nations with Ichikara retaining nominal control.
Then Holoslavia collapses into multiple states because of the Holoslav Wars in 1992. More historical info about the setting here
https://rentry.org/HoloslaviaWhat I'm thinking of now is how I'll integrate all this Niji-related lore and turn it into their sort-of Cold War era equivalent. Because I've set up Ichikara as a Cold War U.S.-backed dictatorship, with Riku at the head and an entire hierarchy below him, somewhat based on Turkey at the time. At least now I have an idea of how to make-up the different regions of Ichikara (I'll probably divvy the country up by wave like Ethyria, Obsydia, etc), so thanks bunches anon.
As for the Holoslavs, I've more or less set them up in the setting with the major species given their own little nation ("fish"-related peoples in Atlantia/Bosnia, ducks and chickens going to Oozora/Croatia + Slovenia, Pekolanders and other rodents being Serbs, Kronies being Montegrins, and Rrats (Bae) being Kosovars. Everyone else who's not in there like Elves and normal humans and such comprise the 'miscellaneous' ethnic groups within the country.
The setting itself is a lot less "magical", though I've been considering how to steer it toward a more "sci-fi" setting eventually (though the tech would probably still be late-90s like GPS and Javelin rockets and such, but treated as massively cutting edge by the characters involved)
