The Most Serene Republic of Stratarin is a nation that is located in the East Pacific region. Stratarin is a highly militarized Communist state, disapproving of religion and law enforcement. The leader, a man known as General Secretary Drugov, somehow balances a strong military and restrictive laws with an incredibly rich culture and a booming tourism industry. Despite approving of economic progress above almost all else, he has also made it his duty to protect from harm the beautiful forests of Stratarin in which its national animal, the tiger, majestically prowls. How the forests have prospered remains a mystery, as Stratarin's climate is incredibly cold.

History

Government

The government of Stratarin is organized in four Primary Ministries, with several normal Ministries spawning off of each. Though they are all technically under the control of General Secretary Viktor Drugov, he usually allows the Primary Ministers and Ministers to do what they please so long as it positively impacts the country.

Head of State

General Secretary Drugov, Current Strataric Head of State

The current head of state is General Secretary Viktor Drugov. After coming to power, he drastically changed the policies into something resembling a Communist state. Drugov rules his people as best he can, but is distrusted by many due to his dictatorial policies. Under his leadership, the economy has skyrocketed, the environment has become that much more enriched, and Stratarin is playing on a much more level field with the rest of the world.

Primary Ministry of Defense and War

Primary Minister Anatoly Baryshnikov

Minister Mikhail Starikov

Ministress Anastasia Kovalyov

The Primary Ministry of Defense and War have rapidly grown during Drugov's time in office. The army, navy, and airforce have received much more government funding. Combined with Stratarin's policy of compulsory military service, the military is now booming with men, technology, and supplies.

The Ministry of Law Enforcement has had even bigger growth than the military, using more and more methods daily that some might go so far as to call invasive. Citizens are assured, however, that it is for the greater good.

Less noticeably but still notably, The Ministry of Intelligence, in charge of intelligence gathering, espionage, and surveillance, has been given additional funding.

Although there is technically a Ministry of Warfare, there is no official minister running it. As such, Anatoly Baryshnikov, the current Primary Minister of Defense and War, generally sees to matters pertaining to it, leaving the minister of law enforcement, Mikhail Starikov, to deal with internal matters. Ministress of Intelligence Anastasia Kovalyov, often known as 'The Red Lady', collaborates with the two, her department providing state-of-the-art surveillance and reconnaissance technology for law enforcement and the military.

Quick Reference Guide

Primary Ministry of Sciences

Primary Ministresss Pravda Lilova

Minister Luka Dreykov

Minister Yakov Rudin

Minister Stefan Lobov

The Primary Ministry of Sciences was somewhat neglected by Drugov when he became General Secretary. While he focused on matters such as defense, policing his nation, and establishing foreign agreements, the sciences of Stratarin received little to no additional attention.

That is, until Drugov was convinced by Pravda Lilova, now the Ministress of Sciences, that he had created a secure nation, and needed to focus on its advancement. With his approval, taxpayer Dreyks started, gradually at first, to flow into sciences.

Perhaps most notably of these was the Ministry of Minister of Space Exploration and Research. In the care of Minister Luka Dreykov and his wife Klara, the first modern Strataric space shuttle, the Chudo, was tested and built. Adding to this ministry's success is the recent retrofitting of Myriad Station for members of the Southern East Pacific Coalition Forces.

The Ministry of Oceanographic Research, headed by Minister Yakov Rudin, has had more minor growth. However, several research vessels that were built over a decade ago and scrapped for political reasons have been rebuilt and explore the oceans once again. Furthermore, the marine biologist Antosha Romanova is currently furthering his field by studying in the New International Sealab, which should advance the ministry even more.

The Ministry of Technology has enjoyed significant improvement, leading to innovations such as advanced attack helicopters and better surveillance systems for the government. It operates Under the watchful eye of Minister Stefan Lobov, a man well known for both his brilliance and coldness.
