Nation Name: Datum Earth
History and Culture: "We shall make no dishonorable concession to these anarchist rebels! We shall not sign a treaty with these idiots, we shall demand what we are owed! I shall not suspend military operations until the colonials heel. They have called for war, have they not? Let us teach them the meaning of war!"
As rebel sentiment began to rise in the colonies, Earth was reaping the rewards of it's colonization. The Martian War of Aggression had ended in a resounding victory, and, although the homeworlders had to work hard, just as everyone else, they were grateful for all they received. Unlike the foolish colonials, they appreciated everything the union between subject and overlord had brought. The politicians began decadent, and weak. They never even suspected the possibility of a rebellion until it was banging on their gates. Unfortunately, they also misjudged the rise in loyalist sentiment on the home front...
"Cowards and traitors in our government refuse to bring them to heel! Instead, they talk of "peace for our time!" The fools would trade our prosperity, our sovereignty, for peace! These politicians shall have the peace of the grave!"
Across the Datum, the people rioted. They couldn't believe politicians would let the rebellion escalate like this. Even worse, these rats were willing to trade their nation's pride for "peace." Revolutionaries rose up across the globe, guided by the persuasive German firebrand Jonathan North, and, after short, brutal fighting, many large nations were overthrown, pledging fealty to North. Although parts of the globe remained "independent," everyone knew they would join eventually. Everyone knows that North's steel fist would reunite the Terran Empire. If not by pen, then by sword.
Military: The Datum Military consists of fanatical, bloodthirsty soldiers, and lots of them. Equipped with simple laser rifles and flak jackets, they overwhelm the enemy with numbers, supported by heavy artillery and a strong armor corps. Or, at least in theory. Right now, the Militarum consists almost entirely of "Whiteshields," barely trained conscripts and fanatical volunteers. Still...there's a lot of them.
Homeworld and Initial Bonus: Earth (Population)
Point Distribution:
Manpower: 100
The Datum is supported by a huge segment of the Earth's population, with swathes of fanatical volunteers to throw at the enemy. In fact, they have far more volunteers than weapons to equip them with.
Industrialization: 50
During the takeover, the supporters of the Datum managed to seize and preserve a decent amount of the industrial base. As North begins to consolidate his control over the new revolutionary nation, these factories are being converted to make war materials.
Standing Forces and Defenses: 25
Although the Whiteshields formed a giant, well-armed militia force to overthrow the cowardly world governments, they suffered horrendous casualties. Most of the survivors were dismissed, untrained militiaman with horrible weapons, leaving only a small, professional core while they rebuild.
Stocked Supplies: 25
The Datum militias who took power from the traitorous politicians were extremely poorly armed, and it shows. Even after the revolution ended, and they were consolidated into a smaller force, they still have almost no supplies stockpiled. Soon the factories will be up and running, though.
