Attacking with their puppet state, Manchukuo, the Japanese were able to take over a vast area of land in China, pushing the Chinese to the inner provinces. To combat the Japanese, the Republic of China formed an alliance with the Communist Party and by 1941 both sides were at a stalemate.  The Republic of China had far more troops than their Communist allies, having roughly 3.8 million men in 1941. For this reason, they did most of the fighting and suffered the most losses. Their troops were about on par with the Japanese, carrying mostly riffles or light machine guns, with there being some heavy machine guns. Most of the army did not use artillery.

Hungary was helped out of the it's economic downfall during the Great Depression in the 1930s by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, who they relied on for increased trade. By 1938, politicians in Hungary had become increasingly nationalistic, as the country benefited from it's territorial relationship with Germany. In 1940, small territorial gains were made, such as the occupation of parts of Southern Slovakia and the annexation of Northern Transylvania. Hungary officially joined the Axis, and in 1941, took part in the invasion of Yugoslavia and declared war on the Soviet Union five days after the beginning of Operation Barbarossa.

 

The Hungarian military had significantly grown from the 1930s. In 1939, conscription was introduced, which led to the Royal Hungarian Army growing from 85,332 servicemen in 1937 to 1,000,000 in 1944. The Hungarian Army's arms were notably German influenced. For example, the M35 rifle, which was standard issue for infantrymen, was redesigned in 1940 to chamber the 7.92x57 5 round clips, just like the Mauser K98K. Various deficiencies were also improved, which eliminated the risk of the bolt freezing in cold conditions. The most common submachine gun in the army was the Danuvia 39M, which remained in service throughout World War 2 until the 1950s. As for machine guns, the main weapons used were the German MG42 and MG34, though the MG131 was deployed in many defensive positions throughout the war, to devastating effect. The Hungarian Armed Forces was relatively modern, and had a strong arsenal of equipment, much of it similar to Nazi Germany's. Hungarian Armour divisions were mostly made up of Hungarian light tanks such as the 40M Turan and the 38M Toldi, though in the later years German tanks such as the Panzer IVs, Vs and Hetzers were notable assets.

Country: Vichy France

Nation Leader

- Must be Historical; Can be Commander of Armed Forces rather than Nation: Marshal Henri Philippe Petain
Demonstrate Understanding of chosen country (Literally Look at Wikipedia for 10 minutes):

More commonly know as the French State, following it's relocation to Vichy. Headed by Marshal Henri Petain from 1940-1944 (France was Liberated then! 'Merica). During this period, France was under German military occupation of North France, and Paris remained it's de jure capital for the mean time. Following the Allied invansion of French North Africa November 1942, southern France was also militarily occupied by Germany and Italy. The Vichy government remained in existence, but was very aware that it had to please Germany. It vanished in late 1944 when the Allies occupied all of France.

 

  The exact strength of the Vichy Metropolitan Army was set as 3,768 officers, 15,072 NCOs and 75,360 men, all of whom were to be volunteers. In addition the size of the paramilitary Gendarmerie was fixed at 60,000 men plus an anti-aircraft force of 10,000 men. Despite the influx of trained soldiers from the colonial forces (reduced in size in accordance with the Armistice) there was a shortage of volunteers so that initially 50,000 men of the ‘class of 1939’ were retained until sufficient volunteers came forward to fulfill the quota. At the beginning of 1942 these conscripts were released, but still there was an insufficient number of men, a shortage that was to remain until the Army’s dissolution despite Vichy appeals to the Germans for a regular form of conscription.

 

Vichy France was permitted 55,000 men in Morocco, 50,000 in Algeria, the Army of the Levant in Syria and Lebanon being reduced from around 100,000 to just under 40,000 men. Later, 15,000 men more were allowed in Tunisia by the Italians.

Essentially you take the role of a country and RP the many domestic and foreign affairs that take place in that country. It is very fun and we've got a solid group of people that know how to do it well. I think you'd have good fun.

Franco was known as the Caudillo, the equivalent to the Italian Duce and the German Führer. Francisco Franco was instituted into power on 1 October 1936. In 1937 became the leader of the Falange, assuming control after Manuel Hedilla and soon after he merged the Falange with many carlist groups, creating the Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las JONS which became the official party of Spain.

Franco won the Spanish civil war by using a methodical war of attrition, he imprissioned spaniards found guilty of adhering to republican liberal values, which Franco called a product of Bolshevik and a Judeo-Masonic Conspiracy which had been taking place since after the Reconquista.

(I couldn't find specifics on the military power of Francoist Spain, but their equipment is basically German and Italian older material.)

Demonstrate Understanding of chosen country (Literally Look at Wikipedia for 10 minutes):
- Things to keep in mind when writing (Troop count, resource pool, some weapons/technology)
After the unstable government that was the First Republic, and the ever rising prices of common goods and food, General Óscar Carmona on the 28th of May 1926 overthrew the failure of a Republic. Shortly after the General was re-elected as the President of the Nation, he closed the parliment and began a Military Dictatorship. Though, this new government did not bring stability in the first years, it actually changed little for the first years, no prominent figures govern with the General, the state is govern by a small posee of lower ranked military commanders. In the 25th of March 1928 however General Carmona organized a Presidential election and he's elected for another five year term, on the 18th of April he appoints José Vicente de Freitas as the new prime minister, and instituted António de Oliveira Salazar as the Minister of Finances. Conflicts between the Military faction of Freitas and the Catholic Faction of Salazar grew so much that Freitas left the government. Artur Ivens Ferraz was made prime minister but Salazar's influence grew more and more. In 1930 Ferraz was fired due to conflicts with Salazar, and was replaced by General Domingos, which allowed Salazar to gain more and more power, both in the finances and in politics.

In 1930 the military has stabilized Portugal and had to think about the future. In what way would the dictatorship continue? In 1933 Salazar gave the answer: Estado Novo. The New State (Estado Novo) was an highly conservative, anti-communist government headed mainly by Salazar as the Prime Minister. Salazar strived to make the country self suficient so it wouldn't have to rely upon Germany or England. Salazar also made some success in making all children go to school until the 4th grade, which improved the literacy rates, yet many parents decided not to let their children persue an academic career.

(Again, troop numbers are nigh impossible to find, yet the equipment is basically german and italian left overs).

Communist China

Mao Zedong

Demonstrate Understanding of chosen country (Literally Look at Wikipedia for 10 minutes):

The Communist Party of China has suffered for far too long under the KMT, a vicious Civil War between the two having had lasted for many years. Only the pressure of both Japan's military and foreign pressures has halted the Civil war and brought the two rivals into a loose United Front. Although China was considered 'united' in their struggle against the Imperialist Japanese forces, the two organizations operated very much independently of each other. The Communists forces preferring the use of guerilla warfare, and good use of Soviet, and Allies, supplied arms and supplies. While the KMT seemingly preferred to take its place as the large wall against the Japanese, mainly utilizing conventional warfare with the use of Allied trickle of equipment.

 

Although Chiang Kai-Shek and Mao Zedong looked at eachother with wary eyes, general Allied pressures forced the two groups from breaking their united front and breaking back into Civil War during the Sino-Japanese War. In fact the only reason the United Front was a success was the kidnapping of Chiang Kai-Shek in the Xi'an incident, which forced Chiang into a truce with the Communists and a united front (Yet also to note the only reason Chiang wasn't executed was the intervention of Stalin, Mao and his supporters not daring the risk of withdrawal of Soviet support.)

 

The People's Liberation Army was one made up of newly conscripted villagers, annexed Nationalist troops, survivors of the Long March, and general recruits. Its forces majorly preferring indirect warfare with enemy forces, much in part due to its outdated armaments that were only being updated slowly through the trickle of Soviet and Allied lend leasing/support. The main strategic ideals of the People's Liberation Army following policies of strategic withdrawals, abandonment of cities for relocation to more proper defenses, and a general war of attrition. Although their numbers have surged at the outbreak of war with the Japanese, their numbers still pale to the KMT, but their advantage is they do not fight a conventional war which drives their manpower through a meat grinder.

Nation Leader

- Must be Historical; Can be Commander of Armed Forces rather than Nation: 

 

De Facto: Maresal Ion Antonescu, head of the National Legionary State of Romania

De Jure: Michael I, King of Romania

Demonstrate Understanding of chosen country (Literally Look at Wikipedia for 10 minutes):
- Things to keep in mind when writing (Troop count, resource pool, some weapons/technology)

 

At the outbreak of World War Two, Carol, King of the Romanians, an increasingly fascist monarchical dictator quickly spiraling his state into ruin, initially opted for Neutrality. He knew that if he risked fighting the Russians, Romania would lose much of the land it had acquired during World War One. While it had previously allied itself with the Entente, the Allies were too far away to provide aid to Romania, and so the only option was to hope that Romania would not lose her borders.

 

How wrong they were.

 

Neutrality was a false status, another word for a state which was "fit to conquer." Without joining the Axis, Carol had hoped to evade an attack from Russia. However, as the Axis had done with Poland, they had also seen fit to do with romania. In 1939, before the blitzkrieg that brought down Poland, Nazi Germany and the USSR had arranged a deal: in order to further appease Russia, Germany given Stalin permission to conquer Moldova and Bessarabia in the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact that had decided the fate of so much of eastern Europe. Carol found his state being chewed up by the enemical slavs and magyars from two fronts, and the people were not happy.

 

The Iron Guard proposed a solution to this. As the people had increasingly come to admire the force aspects of fascism, the national socialist Iron Guard Party spread like a viral fungus throughout Romanian parliament and staged a successful military coop. The first leader, Horia Sima, was an ardent Iron Guardist, but was as foolish as Carol: he did not anticipate the sever infighting a military coop would engender. He naively appointed Maresal Ion Antonescu as the Iron Guard's honorary leader, a symbolic position that was soon turned into a major influence that, in turn, overthrew the newly made fascist government and replaced it with the National Legionary State of Romania.

 

Antonescu adopted a German-like National Fascist government that quickly gained Axis favor. Before Operation barbarossa in 1941, Antonescu informed Hitler in a telegraph not to worry about the Slavs, and claimed that "When its a question of action against Slavs, you can always count on Romania." And Antonescu stayed true to that word. By the start of Operation barbarossa, 680,000 Romanian troops dove into Soviet Russia to join Nazi forces, the most troops deployed by any ally of Nazi Germany, in silent hope to wickedly appease Hitler into granting Romania Transylvania after the war instead of deferring the region to Hungary.

 

His massive army in wait, Antonescu now sits at the behest of Axis command. Willing to contribute hundreds of thousands of troops to the Axis cause in order to fulfill his peoples' dream of a Greater Romania.
