Buvoria

The Empire of Buvoria, commonly known as Buvoria, formerly Bulgarian Empire, is an imperialist nation in IonMapping's New AFoE series. It is also one of the two secondary official nations of IonMapping, the other being Vius. It is most known as a member of The Deadly Trio. It was a frightening superpower and participated in WWIII. However, the war ended with The Deadly Trio's defeat, causing Buvoria's territory to be reduced by an enormous amount. The empire finally collasped in 2431.

Location
Buvoria's territory stretches over a large range, from East Italy and Austria to Bulgaria and Moldova. Buvoria completely conquered and annexed the Balkans, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and southwestern Ukraine.

Origin
Buvoria was officially born from the union of Bulgarian Empire and Moldova after the Invasion of Ukraine. Having the strong military power of Bulgarian Empire, Buvoria flourished in military aspects and was already feared among other nations shortly after it was formed. As Bulgarian Empire was allied with Ottoman Empire and Polish-Lithuanian Empire, Buvoria continued the alliance easily.

Expansion
Buvoria invaded Croatia, Bosnia and Macedonia with ease due to its high-tech military. Buvoria then annexed all the invaded countries and his vassal, Serbia. This was the peak of Buvoria before WWIII.

WWIII
Main Article: WWIII  Buvoria was a major force in WWIII. As Buvoria excels at military technology, he was able to face on the rest of Europe. Buvoria conducted the various invasions that eventually led to the collapse of Central Europe Federation in the war. He also led massive campaigns directed towards Ukraine and Russia, pushing deep into Russian soil.

However, Buvoria and his allies were put at a disadvantage when the Invasion of France failed miserably. Russia was also able to launch a counter-attack and slowly push TDT forces back. Buvoria's economy also took a strike when military spendings caused the country's economy to destabilize. While France invaded Buvorian-occupied Bayern, Buvoria attempted to make East Bayern a puppet state, which succeeded but was quickly taken by French forces.

After multiple French and Ionian attacks, most countries under Buvorian control had been liberated. The last Buvorian forces were surrounded in north-eastern Buvoria. Buvoria officially surrendered on 2 March, 2324, marking the end of WWIII.

Afterwar
Buvoria was heavily damaged by the Treaty of Plovdiv in territorial, military and economic aspects. The country's size had been massively reduced, and armies were limited. Due to the damage caused by Buvoria towards Europe, many other countries refused to trade with Buvoria. Moreover, Buvoria's old allies were either broken into smaller countries which were unwilling to ally with Buvoria, or was limited by the Treaty of Plovdiv. This made Buvoria weak in power, and the empire was no more.

Collapse
Despite the circumstances, Buvoria declared war on Semia and Burgas in hope of restoring the empire. However, the Mediterranean Union quickly declared war on Buvoria in fear of another World War. Buvoria succumbed to the coliation's forces. Buvoria was then broken up into small nations, ending the country completely.

NationStates
''The Empire of Buvoria is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 303 million Buvorians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.''

''The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sofia. The average income tax rate is 55.7%.''

''The all-consuming Buvorian economy, worth 32.8 trillion Buvors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 108,242 Buvors, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.''

''The government spends millions of Buvors every year prosecuting spammers, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes, and the Golden Lion is reportedly extinct. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buvoria's national animal is the Golden Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.''
