1. - STORY

	As Earth's population increases beyond it's habitable capacity the people
begin to push into the uninhabitable areas of our world. One such area is the arctic
where by 2045 A.D. the population of Greenland has nearly doubled as have the Queen
Elizabeth Islands. Recent explorations of the area have discovered vast quantities
of Cryolite, once thought completely depleted. This ore is used in the manufacture
of aluminum and in 1979 Greenland was the world's top producer, pumping out 98% of
the world's cryolite ore at Ivigtut. The recent surge of resources in the area has
brought huge wealth to this once poor country. Greenland tried for independence in
1979 and only won autonomy, this time the declared full independence. Following the
footsteps of the Greenlanders, the Queen Elizabeth Islands declared their freedom
from Canada, known now as Helluland (Land of Flat Rocks). Little Iceland has offered
it's hand in arms to the support of the new countries. However, they have very limited 
resources to provide support with. In Siberia the Russian bear sleeps, so far. The
European Union is poised for an invasion of it's lost possesion. Canada is also 
preparing for a strike. Finally, in Alaska the U.S. is waiting for someone to perform
an atrocity that the might impose U.N. sanctions upon them. Will the republics survive
or is the north's fate sealed by Europe's overwhelming power.

	Here's a rundown of the civilizations of the arctic.

	Republic of Helluland
	Leader: Claire Stonington
	Status Quo: Helluland consists of the former northeastern half of the Canadian
Northwest Territories. This comprises almost all Canadian islands. The major islands
include; Baffin Is., Ellesmere Is., Victoria Is., Banks, Devon, Melville, Prince Patrick,
Bathurst, Axel Heiberg and Cornwallis Island (where the capitol is located). Southampton
choose to remain part of Canada. Most cities are former science stations, Resolute just
recently becoming incorporated as a city. Pangnirtung is the largest city of the country.
Helluland received it's name from Leif Ericson when he first set foot on Baffin Island
around 970 A.D., roughly translated it means "Land of Flat Rocks". This name was chosen
since it was the first and original name given to the area. Led by former Canadian scientist
Claire Stonington, the republic has little military forces other than the civilian and
scientific equipment left in the area by the other stations. Mrs. Stonington was a field
biologist studying terraforming in the area of Resolute when she came across the awful
treatment of native Inuits by the Canadian government, which imposed taxes but for so long
has done little to improve the area for it's peoples. Working underground the Hellulanders
led by Stonington used guerilla tactics to build up the support of the various bases and
ports on the islands and eventually declared their independence. This nation will be a hard
winner.

	Republic of Greenland
	Leader: Lars Johannsen
	Status Quo: Greenland was voted down for independence at the Hague in 1979 but
this time she has not requested it but instead declared it. Using the backing of American
troops stationed on the island the government has so far liberated the island. As to how
long it will stay this way is another matter. Greenland was named and discovered by Eric
the Red, father of Leif Ericsson around 950 A.D.. Settlements were established and for a
while an independent Viking empire exsisted. However, due to the distance from Europe and
the lack of modern technology the establishment slowly died out. Godthaab (Good Hope) the
capitol was founded by Eric the Red and has served as the seat of the government since
it's construction. Led by Johannsen, a longtime governor of the province, the republic has more
than doubled it's population in the last forty years. The military lacks Europes power but has
significant resources to quickly reinforce it's position and just perhaps take the fight to
the invaders.

	Republic of Iceland
	Leader: Vigdis Finnbogadottir
	Status Quo: Iceland has been a republic since the founding of the Althing around
900 A.D.. Making it the longest standing republic in the world. Icelands small size prevents
it from aquiring a large military force. But, it's unique resources give it a production
advantage over most other countries. Iceland also boasts Mrs. Finnbogadottir the first popularly
elected female president. Iceland was also named and discovered by Vikings and it's heritage
is strongly influenced by this factor. The country is also one of the wealthiest and is the
happiest in the world. The capitol, Reykjavik has been the capitol since it's founding in the
early 900's. Let's hope the war dosen't change that.

	European Union
	Leader: Charles Schmidt
	Status Quo: Formed out of the outdated European Commonwealth, the Scandinavian
countries have just recently joined. They still have the full support of Europe and the
strongest military. They lack the necessary ships in which to invade the republics with.
If this can be remedied then the war is won. Led by Schmidt the regional capitol is at
Trondheim. Schmidt was former judge at the court of justice at the Hague and has recently
turned politican. In an effort to prove his loyalty to his country he has vowed the destruction
of Greenland and any or all troops necessary to the aid of Canada in their war.

	Russian Federation
	Leader: Yevshenko Putin
	Status Quo: Formed after the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 the Federation
boasts the largest amount of land in the north, comprising all of eastern Europe and all
of Siberia. They also baost the 2nd largest military. Althought strong in number they are weak
when cities are singled out. Putin has led for some odd twenty years after succeding his
fater to the "presidency" of the Federation. The regional capitol is based at Archangel. 
Attitudes remain in a distant favor of Europe but so far they have remained a neutral party.

	United States of America
	Leader: William Bradley II
	Status Quo: Formed in 1776 the U.S.A. is another guerilla republic that has survived
and so far prospered beyond anyone could have ever dreamed. The U.S. Alaskan military is small
but that dosen't mean reinforcements can't arrive from the eastern seaboard. Led by Will Bradley
the U.S. boasts a large military but not many cities. The regional capitol is based at Juneau.
Favoring the alliance they so far remain neutral. But that can always change.

	Commonwealth of Canada
	Leader: Marie Trudeau
	Status Quo: Still technically a commonwealth nation of Britain, Canada has a history
as old as the U.S. but lacking that certain independent feeling. Led by the daughter of president
Trudeau, Marie has imposed harsh taxes on Canada and has brought the country into war. The
military force is not strong but stronger that the republics. The regional capitol is based out
of Yellowknife. If the country can defend it's flanks then it will survive, otherwise is closing
time.


	Other Faction Notes:

	Arctic Alliance:
	Triple alliance between Greenland, Helluland and Iceland. Formed in an effort to
repel the expeditionary forces sent by the Canadian and European governments.

	Union of Thule:
	Joint alliance between the European Union and Canada in an effort to quell the recent
uprisings in the north.


	Misc. Notes:
	Helluland's Flag is a picture of Baffin Island on a yellow backdrop with a blue star
representing the capitol, Resolute, located on Cornwallis Island.

	Almost all technology is the same as before. Some new ones have been added to
compensate or the newer units. A list of these is below.

Superstructures
Micro Robotics
Cybernetics
Cloning
Adv. Refining
Special Operations
Arctic Warfare
Terraforming
Oceanography
Science Stations
Orbital Weaponry

	The technology of the area is set back to post-industrial age since until recently
most roads were not even paved. A lot of newer and advanced units have yet to be discovered
and due to the remoteness of the area the science rate progresses at a 20/10 rate.

	All wonders have been renamed and new icons and prerequisites and expirations also
implemented. A list of these are below.

Fishing Industry
Althing
Alaska Oil Pipeline
Weather Satellites
Mount McKinley
Championship Dog Derby
Eric The Red's House
Thule Strategic Air Base

Science Stations
Magnetic North Pole
Sognarfjorden
Leonardo's Workshop (not available)

	Military Units:

	All unit icons have been changed. On top of this 42 new units have been added to the
roster of the normal modern units list.

	Minor Cities: These are special units that represent cities smaller than the 10,000
size 1 city size. These are scattered across the landscape owned by various nations. A special
effect of these that whoever destroys these cities by attacking them with another unit the
attacker shall receive a $500 increase in their money. This represents the plundering of the
city and it's overall destruction.
