In 1994 however, an as of yet unidentified hacker operating from a public library broke into Norogradian government files referencing the Eugenics program, as well as revealing the existence of bio-warfare divisions and research on engineered bioweapons that was also occouring at the time. Shortly after the breach, the information was leaked to the public, causing an outcry among the freedom fighter groups, many of which were specifically mentioned as targets of the sterilisation program. Occourrence of organised riots spiked across the nation, and within months of the leaks, several organised militias had emerged, most notably the anarcho-communist Norograd Armed Rebels (NAR - not to be confused with the Norograd Armed Resistance terrorist organisation). It was at this time that a coalition of democratic politicians and political philosophers emerged, known as the Axdel coalition. However, they were overshadowed by the armed militias that had begun amalgamating into the NAR to form a single paramilitary force. | In 1994 however, an as of yet unidentified hacker operating from a public library broke into Norogradian government files referencing the Eugenics program, as well as revealing the existence of bio-warfare divisions and research on engineered bioweapons that was also occouring at the time.

The Republic of Norograd was a , originally formed in 1923 after the popular renaming of the Kormistazic principality of the Morstaybishlian Empire. It gained independence from the empire after the outbreak of the Auroran imperial war, and fought on the allied side alongside Ethalria and ICCF. The nation collapsed in 1996 after a devastating civil war, known as the Norogradian civil war, or Seven days of Anarchy. At its peak, Norograd had a population of over 68 million, slightly more than modern Axdel.
History
Pre-Independence
Norograd was conceived in 1923 after a popular vote resulted in the renaming of the western Morstaybishlian principality of Kormistazm. This happened after years of cumulating spite towards the overarching, oppressive Morstaybishlian monarchy, and the rising popularity of prominent communist and socialist philosophers in Kormistazic society. When realising the threat to their
Auroran Imperial war
During the war, Norograd constructed a devastating orbital kinetic bombardment weapon know as SYKAT (SKY KATaclysm). It was Intended to be used to pummel the weakened Morstaybishlian empire allowing Norograd to easily conquer the land where South Staynes now resides. However three Emberitian intelligence agents were discovered after attempting to sabotage the weapon via [REDACTED]. This Caused a panic in the command line, and eight rods were ordered to be dropped into the Ethalrian cities of [] and [], after a miscommunication led to the commanding general believing the spy's were Ethalrian agents. This was later found to be against the orders of Keit, who would've fired it at several Empire cities and the Emberwood capital of Aura, after finding that the agents were Emberitian. The Four rods that impacted the two cities created intense seismic shocks which levelled the city centre's, collapsing skyscrapers killing millions of civilians, several thousand military personnel, and many armoured vehicles. The weapon inadvertently gained the attention of Vekaiyu and Packilvania, which threatened the autonomy of the area and ultimately led to the formation of the Auroran Continental Assembly to combat the greater threat.

At the dusk of the 1980's, Norograd entered its first stages of decline. Organised protests across the nation demanding national reform became more commonplace, violent, and twisted, occasionally evolving into riots. Worried by these events, Kiet Narvga initiated a scheme to increase national cohesiveness via passive eugenic programs. Such programs were inspired by similar successful implementations in other nations across Urth. The programme was kept out of the public eye, and involved 'diagnosing' undesirable individuals in the population with an obscure disease, and then sterilising them with false medication. Targeted individuals were those that showed association with violent 'freedom fighter' groups, as well as those with chronic genetic disorders and poor mental acuity. The ultimate goal was to make Norograd a cohesive, intelligent, and stable society capable of surviving for centuries, even without a centralised state as Kiet had hoped for future Norograd.
In 1994 however, an as of yet unidentified hacker operating from a public library broke into Norogradian government files referencing the Eugenics program, as well as revealing the existence of bio-warfare divisions and research on engineered bioweapons that was also occouring at the time. Shortly after the breach, the information was leaked to the public, causing an outcry among the freedom fighter groups, many of which were specifically mentioned as targets of the sterilisation program. Occourrence of organised riots spiked across the nation, and within months of the leaks, several organised militias had emerged, most notably the anarcho-communist Norograd Armed Rebels (NAR - not to be confused with the Norograd Armed Resistance terrorist organisation). It was at this time that a coalition of democratic politicians and political philosophers emerged, known as the Axdel coalition. However, they were overshadowed by the armed militias that had begun amalgamating into the NAR to form a single paramilitary force.
On new years eve 1994, Keit Narvga declared martial law in Norograd, and civilian police patrols were replaced with armed convoys and military units. The NAR had become so entrenched within society that it was as easy to join as it was to apply for a gym membership. In 1995 alone, there were half a dozen assassination of key generals and political figures, notably Darius Finch, Narvga's right hand man since the 60's.
