Golden Dawn


 * Backstory: On January 8th, as Greece had begun seeing lingering after effects from their nearby neighbours' Arab Spring, Greece had fell into an economic and political crisis, especially due to the 2008 financial disaster's debt crisis as well. Golden Dawn, a political party of Greece, decides to declare a coup against the current Greek government. Instead of rising in Athens, they decide to rise in Thessaloniki due to a large amount of military presence in the Greek city thanks to the Arab Spring. The leader of the political party finally chose a date to take arms against the Greek government, which was February 2nd. After a month of preparation and gathering the members of the political party, the leader of Golden Dawn, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, along with 500 other members who were declared apart of the Golden Dawn military, stormed a police station in a suburb of Thessaloniki. Eventually, after a few hours' worth of fighting, the aggressors of the raid on the PD were victorious. Multiple police officers had surprisingly supported Golden Dawn and turned against their fellow officers in favour of Golden Dawn. After multiple months of fighting, on April 15th, Greek forces withdrew from Thessaloniki and retreated to the nearby town of Peraia. Thousands of soldiers are recruited into Golden Dawn's military due to military propaganda posted on television, the Internet, and everywhere in the city.


 * Military:


 * Supplies:
 * Weapons: GD's weapons mainly come from Greek police departments and gun stores, as well as warehouses in their occupied lands.
 * Interception of a Greek Convoy: A Greek convoy with about 10 trucks in it is intercepted by 15,000 soldiers of Golden Dawn and it was found to be carrying nearly 25,000 pieces of weaponry, including 1,500 Barret M95s, 2,000 M14 rifles,  5,000 Colt M1911 pistols, 10,000 M16A3 rifles, 1,000 FN MAGs, and 5,000 M4 carbines. It also carried with it nearly 50,000 ammo crates and 10 grenade launchers, and it had nearly 1,000 soldiers escorting it. The soldiers hijack each soldiers' HMMWV, and force the drivers of the convoy's cargo trucks to drive to the main base of Golden Dawn's military. Eventually, the drivers are interrogated, but since no information was found out about where they were going (although evidence points that they were headed for Thessaloniki), each and every single one of them is killed.


 * Wars & Conflicts:


 * Greek Civil War:


 * Operation Anatolí: On May 10th, about a month after the Greek forces withdrew from Thessaloniki, forces of Golden Dawn launched an attack on the Greek armed forces' fallback location, a small town named Peraia with 15,000 soldiers of their own and a flank from navy. After only 25 days of fighting, on June 5th, Greek forces in Peraia had a mass evacuation of the surrounding areas of Peraia in Nea Michaniona, ultimately allowing the towns, as well as the Greek provinces of Thessaloniki, Langadas, Chalkidiki, Arnea, and Aglo Orios to fall under Golden Dawn's sphere of control.


 * Cypriot Civil War:


 * Operation κεμπάπ: On June 7th, Golden Dawn launches five aerial convoys holding about 35,000 soldiers total, with them having nearly 100 armoured fighting vehicles. They pass over the Dodecanese Islands and a bit of mainland Turkey before finally arriving to their destination: The Karpass Peninsula. Every soldier begins parachuting down into Karpass, and after everyone lands, they begin pushing down through Northern Cyprus. Due to the Turkish Cypriots not expecting an attack from the north, they are heavily underprepared for the armies of Golden Dawn in the north. All of Cyprus's Famagusta province is occupied, while half of its Kyrenia province is occupied, thus isolating the Northern Cypriot Army.


 * Golden Dawn Liberation Army:


 * Golden Dawn Land Forces: In Golden Dawn's land forces, there are currently about 75,000 active soldiers and 20,000 in reserves. Land systems that had been captured include 1,128 armoured fighting vehicles, 18 tanks, 5 self-propelled guns, 82 towed-artillery, and 1 MLRS. About 90,000 soldiers in both the active and reserves are fully armed, with the other 5,000 basically being self-volunteered meat shields.
 * Golden Dawn Air Force: In our dank air force, there are currently about 10,000 active personnel and 1,500 in reserves. Air crafts include 27 fighters/interceptors, 42 fixed-wing attack aircraft, 60 transport aircraft, 84 trainer aircraft, and 43 helicopters, five of which are attack helicopters.
 * Golden Dawn Maritime Force: In what we can call our maritime force, there are currently 14,000 active personnel and 5,000 in reserves. Naval crafts include 2 frigates, 1 destroyer, 6 corvettes, 3 submarines, 10 coastal defence crafts, and 1 ship suitable for mine warfare.


 * Diplomacy:
 * Anatoli Hellas: We condemn any actions that they take in Athens, due to them basically being our enemy.
 * Cypriot UoF/Golden Dawn: We ask them if they would like to possibly work together in the future, and send two aerial convoys both with atleast ten planes in them to the Karpass Peninsula in Cyprus to flank the Northern Cypriot soldiers. We also drop one frigate out of the sky near Paphos's docks, with men on them to sail it into port, giving it to Cypriot Golden Dawn. We also land two transport planes on their airstrips for their use.
