Nation Backstory (a nice paragraph or two.): During world war 2, Turkey became a hotspot for Jewish refugees, on account of its neutrality until the end of the war, when they sided with the Allies following the events of Pearl Harbor.
After the Nazi holocaust, and the nuclear holocaust; the surviving people of Turkey were brought together by a leader who had the charisma and cleverness of Adolf Hitler: Chellah, an old Rabbi who claimed that it was Yaweh who destroyed most of the world, and not bombs. This event is referred to as the Second Flood.
Chellah was an excellent leader, and brought together a community that relies heavily on the Torah and the Rabbi for advice.
It is run by the Grand Council of Rabbi, the nine eldest and wisest Rabbi, appointed by the other eight Rabbi, should one die. The Grand Council makes all decisions through equal debate between them, and only after all of the council agree will a change be made.
The people of New Zion, the Zionites, are welcoming and warm hearted, and genuinely wish to convert the world to Judaism peacefully, but only if said people are interested in converting. They take biblical names upon assimilation into society, and all are equal then, except for the Rabbi, who are of higher rank. Despite this friendliness, should the high council declare that a group ais an Enemy of Yaweh, the Zionites will terminate them with extreme prejudice, and they have done so in the past. They keep a combined military and guard force called the Chayil, which is divided into two sections: The Chayal, infantry soldiers and guards who use clubs, swords, spears, and other basic melee weapons; and the Yarah, who use bows, slings, or guns, if they can find any. There are many Ayder, or squadrons, each composed of four men, two from each group. Each Ayder is given tasks by the Council individually.
