History of Vygar:
The Armed Republic of Vygar has been a nation that has constantly know war, ever since it's initial foundation. Long before the nation of Vygar came to be, the region was split into various smaller states. Each of these states were highly distrustful of the others, & thus it was not uncommon for two or more of them to be involved in conflicts together. It had been this way for many generations, the distrust & aggression towards between the states only growing as each state advanced & developed.
However, the constant state of hostility would soon come to an end, as the heads of these states began to realise that they could no longer afford only to worry about one another. Over time, various larger nations had been forming around them, presenting them with an even greater risk that the current conflicts amongst themselves. They also realised that, although it went against generations of hate & discrimination, they would have to unite the seperate states to form a united country if they were to survive.
Although the process wasn't easy - especially with all the history of aggression & confliction between them - the heads of these states were, after a long & drawn out period of time, finally able to unite the various states under one banner. They named their new homeland 'Vygar' & began the process of building a nation - free from the chains of the past. It was a most symbolic moment, & led to the construction of Vygar's capital city, Sirius. However, Siruis was not only Vygar's capital city - it was also a symbol of the combined effort of all the former independent states, showing that they could indeed work together in cooperation to build a better future for themselves & their descendants.
And from there on, Vygar went through a long period of development & prosperity, growing & advancing in numerous ways - technologically, economically & spiritually - until it had finally reached a stable point many generations later, where it could fully sustain & protect itself. But, even these peaceful times wouldn't last. After such a vast period of time, many small extremist groups - clusters of civilisation that had existed within Vygar's territory, unknown to the ruling heads of state - began banding together to form an alliance, that would threaten the peace & stability that the whole of Vygar had toiled away for hundreds of years to maintain.
This group would be know as "The Rizon Crusaders" - & their goal was to "liberate" themselves from Vygar & form their own nation. Thier first major action - & their decleration of hostilities toward Vygar - came in the form of an attack an a major mineral mining city in Vygar's south-eastern region. They attacked the city from out of nowhere, claiming it & a sizeable area around it as thier own territory. This aggressive action prompted a large military response from the now long established Vygar government, which involved massing a large military force to take back the land & city which had been stolen from them.
Now, while them military eventually succeeded with it's mission, it was not without a heavy price - they had expected to storm over this militant group, take back their city & drive these "Rizon Crusaders" from their lands withing a short space of time. Instead, they were forced to fight tooth & nail in order to regain their city, suffering heavy loses in doing so. This made the government realise that they were facing a much greater threat than they had inticipated.
After this, more & more battles occurred between the Vygar military & The Rizon forces, which soon escalated into all out war. It took them over a year & a half of bitter, bloody fighting to finally & permenantly defeat the Rizons, though again, they suffered a heavy price in doing so. Over half ov Vygar lay in ruin due to the constant fighting, with thousands dead, many millions more having lost friends & family to the war. Once thay had won, the people of Vygar focused on rebuilding their nation, bringing it back to it's formerself.
This time, however, they were wary of a repeat of the bloody events, which came to be know as "The Uprising". This led to a large increase of all Vygar's Military forces - Land, See & Air - as well as the nation shifting to an almost permanent states of alert. Thus we come to the Vygar of now - a militaristic land, that has know war & conflict throughout the ages. A nation always watching, always prepared for another enemy to appear & attack.
