==================

The year is 1931, and in the continent of Europa, most of the nations hope to pass into a brighter future far away from the horrors of the Great War that happened nearly 20 years ago. However, dark times are only gathering like storm clouds, as the Central Europanian nation of Vuldavia is under the totalitarian-stratocratic dictatorship of Eva Volkov.

==================

A frigid wind sweeps through the streets all over the nation of Vuldavia, carrying with it the scent of ash and fear. Above the Grand Square, the colossal blood-red banner of the Iron Eagle, Vuldavia's national symbol, snaps in the gale, its talons clutching a bolt of lightning and a sword—all while behind a radiating sun. This is the vision of Eva Volkov; a nation forged in her image, tempered by her will, and ruled with an iron fist.

The streets of Vuldavia's capital city, Veritas City, once a vibrant metropolis, now echoes with the rhythmic march of Volkov's personal militant guard called the "Iron Guard", their uniforms are a stark, menacing charcoal black. Propaganda posters plastered on every wall, depicting Volkov as a benevolent, all-seeing mother figure; her gaze both captivating and unnerving. Yet, beneath the veneer of national unity and strength, fear and submission are the true currencies of her regime.

Eva Volkov is an enigma, a figure as alluring as she is terrifying. Her public appearances are meticulously orchestrated spectacles. She would emerge from the Volkov Palace—a monolithic palace; an edifice of black granite that looms over the Vuldavian capital city—draped in severe, tailor-made uniforms of white, silver grey or charcoal black—adorned only by the gleaming badge of the Iron Eagle—wearing a crimson red royal cape, and the very crown of the monarchy she deposed. Her features, though sharp and angular, possessed a perverse beauty—sharp teeth, piercing red eyes that seemed to see into the very souls of her subjects, and a perfectly sculpted muzzle with a silver tongue that, when it spoke, could incite either adoration or abject terror.

Born into a crumbling aristocracy, she possessed a chilling charisma, a beauty that could both entrance and terrify, and a mind like a razor-sharp trap. In the tumultuous wake of the Great War, as the old kingdom of Vuldavia teetered on the brink of anarchy, Volkov, a fervent nationalist, seized her opportunity. In 1921, she launched a coup that toppled the monarchy; a "Nationalist Revolution", she calls it. She promised order, prosperity, and a return to Vuldavia’s imagined glory, with a loyal party known as the Vuldavian National Order Party that forms rallies with her fiery speeches and cult of personality.

Under Volkov, Vuldavia became a totalitarian stratocracy, a nation where the military was paramount, its authority absolute in all aspects of the nation, be it political, social, or economic. Every aspect of life, from education to industry, was geared towards strengthening the state and its armed forces. Dissent is not merely punished; it's eradicated. The Internal Security Directorate, Volkov's secret police organization, is omnipresent; its black-clad agents are a constant reminder of the consequences of non-collective thought.

Society was also remolded under staunch traditionalism and the idea that Vuldavia has been transformed into a "new state"; an "Iron State", as Volkov
