User:Brant/Acadian Empire

The Acadian Empire, officially known as the Republic of Acadia, is a large country located in the Antarctic Peninsula, with massive territories outside the mainland. Despite being called an "Empire", the country is a republic. Its predecessor being the Republic of Acadia, the Acadian Empire formed after the alliance victory in the Trans-Antarctic War, which massively expanded Acadian territory.

History
After the Bow Tie War, Acadian exit of the Free Republic Union, and the election of Megg as president of the United States of Antarctica, it seemed the survival of Acadia was in danger. The small country had made numerous powerful enemies, and it seemed collapse was imminent. To save itself, the Acadian government hatched a plan to gain new allies and weaken their powerful enemies.

To start, the Acadian government funded rebels in northern Antarctic Peninsula and Trans-Antarctica. Their plan was to make a buffer state out of Shiverpool, and to create an alliance of powers stretching from Club Penguin to Newton Town, effectively cutting off and weakening the United States of Antarctica. In early 2017, the both rebel groups rebelled, forming the Republic of Shiverpool and Trans-Antarctic Republic.

Quickly, the USA mobilized soldiers to crush the rebellion. The United States of Antarctica quickly seized the northern part of Trans-Antarctica, and was now making their way south, while other soldiers moved north to the Antarctic Peninsula to crush the rebellion there. Soon, the United States of Antarctica realized that Acadia was funding the rebels, and promptly declared war on Acadia in mid-2017. A close Acadian ally, Aglon, joined the war in support of Acadia.

The Acadians expected a declaration of war, and quickly subdued and captured the port city of Club Penguin, which was lightly defended by a small force. After a brief battle, Club Penguin City was captured days later. Meanwhile, an Acadian force from New Caseusopolis and another from Alexandria, along with smaller force from the Acadian mainland, began approaching East Pengolia.

Now fighting on several fronts, the USA enlisted the help of the Free Republic Union. Many of the more powerful FRU members had alliances with both Acadia and the USA, and opted to stay neutral. This left only a small amount of countries left to support the USA. However, the FRU was still a threat, so Acadia allied itself with both Lisboagal and Southern Ocean City, promising lands to be claimed after the war.

Soon, Acadia captured East Pengolia after a brief campaign, incorporating it into Acadia as Acadian Pengolia. It was during this time that the Acadian Empire was proclaimed. Shortly after, West Pengolia was peacefully annexed into Acadian Pengolia, finally uniting Pengolia. After uniting Pengolia, Acadia focused its sights on fighting the United States of Antarctica. Having occupied Pengolia, Acadia could use it as a jumping off point to aid the Trans-Antarctic Republic.

After capturing Pengolia, Acadia recruited 100,000 soldiers from Pengolia to aid in the war. Additionally, another 180,000 soldiers were recruited from Club Penguin and Club Penguin City. With the aid of this larger force and the Shiverpool navy, Acadia invaded the rest of Sub-Antarctica, save for the independent nations inside of it, creating Acadian Sub-Antarctica. After this, Acadia was able to recruit another 110,000 soldiers.

The extra 390,000 soldiers were soon used in the Trans-Antarctican campaign of the war. With the aid of Acadia, Shiverpool, and other alliance soldiers, Trans-Antarctic Republic forces pushed the Antarctican forces back to the north, and soon out. Having lost all three campaigns, the United States of Antarctica surrendered. As part of the treaty, Acadia was allowed to keep Sub-Antarctica, northern Antarctic Peninsula, and Pengolia. As promised, Lisboagal was giving Viking County, which was added to Lisboagese Antarctica. Southern Ocean City was allowed some territories.

Military
The military of the Acadian Empire was primarily made up of colonial troops from Acadian Sub-Antarctica, Acadian Antarctic Peninsula, and Acadian Pengolia. The total number of Acadian forces numbered around 570,000, nearly 10 times larger than the prewar forces. In the ADF, the most powerful force was the army, followed by the navy, and then the air force.
