History
Europa was founded in the early 1950s by the former nations of Italy and parts of Yugoslavia. In 1953 there had been uprisings in East Germany and these had spread over to Yugoslavia. In 1954 Croatia seceded and formed a union with Italy. The Yugoslav War was fought from 1954-1955 and that ensured the demise of Yugoslavia. In its's placestood Europa. Fearful of its communist neighbors, and even its western allies, leader Antonio Pazzini built up a large army and impressive arsenal of weapons. Pazzini initiated several laws to ensure all citizens spoke Italian, and this reduced the number of speakers of native languages.Millions were spent on weapons research. Europa funded many exploration missions around this time, the most important being the De Rossi Expedition (1958), a military-civilian mission which claimed Marie Byrd Land for Europa. On June 7, 1957 Europa detonated their first atom bomb over Antarctica. A smaller but more powerful nuclear weapon was subsequently tested in the fall of 1960. In 1961, Europa acquired PGM-17 Thor IRBM missiles from the U.S. In 1964 The Popular Revolution took place, in which Pazzini was deposed in favor of a democracy. In a referendum, a majority of citizens voted for the return of the monarchy and a grandson of Vittorio Emanuele III was made king. In 1969 Europa joined the non-aligned movement, and has not been in any war since its creation.

Historically the Army played an important part in europa's defense. But in the 1960s the large army was replaced with the Strategic Defense Force, which employed the use of bombs, misiles and other longer range weapons. As Europa is wary of other nations, it is constantly producing the most powerful and advanced weapons.
