Geography

Arma2-country-ardistan-00

Map of the GSR. Karzeghistan is located to the south of Takistan.

Karzeghistan is a coastal nation that lies to the south of Takistan and east of Ardistan. Its landscape is diverse, ranging from dry deserts in the west and north-west to semi-arid plateaus in the south and east.[1]

The country's capital is the city of Mazargan, which is situated along the Green Sea coastline. Two freshwater rivers - originating from the highlands in Ardistan, supply water to much of the country's citizens.[1]

Shapur

Main article: Shapur

Shapur e-Dalanper is a tiny yet strategically vital region with pockets of densely developed settlements and industrial complexes. It is located along the disputed border with Takistan in the north, running along parts of the Sharig Plateau.[5]

Politics

Diplomacy

Successive Karzeghi governments have shared a hostile relationship with their counterparts in the north.[6] Tensions reached their peak in June 2012 when Takistani leader, Colonel Muhammad Aziz, threatened to launch ballistic missiles into Karzeghistan[7] if control of Shapur was not ceded to Takistan.[8][9][10]

Since then, Mazargan has held close ties with the NATO alliance.[10][11] British, Czech, and German forces have established a military presence in the country to provide security against continued incursions by the Takistani military.[7][12][13][14]

The country's diplomatic alignment to either the East or the West, as of 2035, is not known.

Chiefly, we were tasked with monitoring and supporting border patrols. This was pre-invasion, so the situation was largely safe. Well, 'safe' as compared to what it became, at least. The local population were cooperative. Still, the guys always complained that they looked at them with suspicion, or something. You've gotta remember, this place was well used to conflict. Too used to it. The border itself was just an idea - something drawn on a map - not in any way particularly 'defined', y'know, culturally. From the air, you could pick out the scrapped tanks from back in the 80s pretty easily. On the ground, the guys used to have to be wary of ancient land mines when heading off the beaten track."

The U.S. Army has deployed to the region on training exercises; our goal is to get the men and vehicles properly acclimatised to the environment and familiar with the terrain. To the north, an aggressive state is sabre-rattling: keen to claim the rich vein of oil deposits on this side of the border. Reports indicate that diplomatic routes are leading to dead ends, and we're getting close to a flashpoint. By now, it's no secret that we're conducting border patrols and making contact with the local population, with the full support of the fearful government here. Today, we've got some top brass heading in to survey the situation. Operating out of CSL Archer, you're tasked to transport your commanding officer and a general above friendly territory."
