Republic of Armenia

 * Government: Federal semi-presidential republic
 * President: Gagik Tsarukyan
 * Prime Minister: Nikol Pashinyan
 * Capital: Yerevan
 * Laws and Policies:
 * Conscription: With over 10,000 of our troops killed at the Battle of Batman, we call up all 32,000 of our reserve troops, and institute a small-scale draft, bringing in another 30,000 recruits to the army.
 * Economy: Slightly improving, but not by much. The military-industrial complex continues to pump out war materials, while industrious Armenian businessmen exploit the complete lack of wage laws in Byzantium, Georgia, anx Qara Qoyunlu to pay downtrodden peasants who moved to the cities for a better living next to nothing but before you protest, hey, it's okay! We introduced them to the marvels of modern life and we will conveniently ignore that most of those benefits currently affect the nobles and bourgeoisie, now go back to work, factory peasant, and if you slack off again I will fire you! set up factories in foreign countries.
 * Demographics:

 * Religion: 94.8 Christian (92.5% Armenian Apostolic,) 0.8% Yazidi Muslim, 0.2% Pagan, 4% None/Other

 * Military Prescence of Other Countries:
 * Russian bases in Armenia: The Russian 102nd Military Base, as well as all its equipment and personnel, have all been brought along during temporal displacement as well. The base is cooperating with the Armenian government, as they have realized there is nowhere else to go, and currently act as a private mercenary force working with the Armenian Armed Forces.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Ottomans: ur mom gay go kys
 * Crimea: no hide sultan
 * Events:
 * Operation Perfidious Turk, pt.3: With the recent pyrrhic victory at the Battle of Batman, and the realization that the Ottoman army has gotten access to some modern weaponry, we begin to take action to prevent modern weapons from getting into the hand of the Turks. Known Ottoman weapons stocks are now targeted for bombing raids, and we reorganize our army so a contingent of captured Ottoman soldiers and forcibly recruited Turkish civilians armed with melee weapons are positioned in the front of the Armenian battle line, then followed by the finest of the Armenian Arny, in order to cull the the Ottoman army a bit first before giving them any chances to steal our guns. After capturing and occupying Ankara, our bombers are told to reposition themselves in the western coast of Anatolia, with special attention drawn to the cities of Bursa, Eskisehir, Canakkale, and Izmir (Smyrna). The Army makes a straight beeline for northwestern Anatolia, hoping to connect our front lines to the Byzantine-Albanian-Serbian offensive while further destroying the Ottoman economy. Georgian ships are told to bombard coastal cities, further hampering the Ottoman ability to do trade. The total scorched earth policy from earlier continues to be applied, in order to make our occupied territories completely useless for the time being, just in case these areas somehow manage to fall back into Ottoman hands.
 * Searching for the Sultan: We begin sending spies (some being ex-KGB officers from the days of the Soviet Union) into possible areas of refuge for the fleeing Sultan, with special attention drawn to the Khanate of Crimea, as they have had a positive relationship with the Ottoman Empire for years and are the closest such nation from the Ottoman court at Edirne. Spies are also stationed in the Golden Horde, Lithuania-Belarus, the Turkish beyliks, the Aq Qoyunlu Federation, and the Mamluk sultanates, just in case the Sultan may not be hiding in Crimea after all.
 * President: The former president, Armen Sarkissian, was mandated by the Constitution to only be able to serve a single 7-year term. Now that term has expired, and the presidential elections, the firsy post-Event elections in Armenia, have led to Gagik Tsarukyan of the Prosperous Armenia party becoming the nation's first post-Event president.
 * Uplifting, continued: We continue on the crusade to bring our allies up to standard on modern technology. Coal and oil power plants, as well as some clean energy like wind power and a solar farm, are built in allied lands. Qara Qoyunlu, in particular, is interested in a proposition to dam the Euphrates River, however, we are telling them to hold off on that decision until further notice (i.e until we figure out how bad the dam will be for the local ecosystem). Most towns in allied territories with a population over 25,000 now have some form of electricity and/or potable tap water, and modern machinery continues to become ever more pervasive in life in these countries (for instance, most of the nobility and richer merchants of our allies have access to Armenian television programs, and among the peasantry, sprinklers and fertilizer are almost ubiquitous, leading to the peasants having to do less work and reap more food production). To keep uo with ever-increasing oil demand, the Grand Mashriq Highway has been expanded into a full-fledged freeway-style road, allowing to take in more traffic income, and plans of future pipelines supplying oil from Alagadda straight into Armenian borders are beinh drawn, although we currentky do not have enough resources to spare on that endeavor. Some Armenian oligarchs and business moguls have even begun building factories on the outskirts of Constantinople and Tblisi, in order to be able to manufacture items locally instead of having to import them to Armenia then export them back to their target countries and get away with violating Armenian minimum wage laws and paying the factory workers next to nothing. Hey, it could be worse, Armenian businessmen don't have the stomach for slave labor, unlike their Byzantine counterparts.
 * Insert Student Debt Joke Because I'm an American: A campus of the University of Yerevan is built in the outskirts of Constantinople, simply called the University of Yerevan-Constantinople, or UYC. Upon opening, it offered majors on Greek, Armenian, Historic Literature, Future Literature (literature that had been/will be written between 1450 and 2019), History, Future Studies (history that had happened/will happen between 1450 and 2019), Art, Music, Design, Modern Alchemy (basically high school and college science), Theology, Politics, and Law. With the best knowledge available to post-Event Armenia, UYC would become one of the top universities in Europe, and the center of learning and knowledge in the city of Constantinople. Several other campuses of the University of Yerevan are planned, including ones in Athens, Alagadda, Baghdad, Tabriz, Tblisi, and Smedrevo.
 * Insert Another American Joke About Healthcare Not Being Free: The General Hospital of Constantinople, or Armenian Hospital, is constructed not far from the palace of the Basileus. Staffed almost fully by certified Armenian doctors, and providing the best in modern medicine, the General Hospital of Constantinople would become one of the best hospitals in all of Europe (not too surprising, as this would be the only place in Europe outside Exiled countries to have a hospital where you do NOT run a high risk of dying due to bloodletting or whatever), providing free healthcare to the sick of Constantinople (you hear that America?). In the next few years, the Armenian Government would fund more hospitals in other major cities of its allies.
 * Insert Yet Another Joke, This Time About America's Bloated Military Budget: To make up for the losses in the Battle of Batman, we call up our 32,000 reserves, and draft another 30,000. The military-industrial complex is also turned up a notch, with more military factories than ever cropping up all over thr country and region.
