Republic of Armenia [WIP]

 * Government: Semi-Presidential Republic (under an indefinitely extended State of Emergency effective from November 18, 2019/1444)
 * President: Armen Sarkissian
 * Prime Minister: Nikol Pashinyan
 * Laws and Policies:
 * Rationing: Strict rationing of food has been implemented, with each person being alloted 1900 calories of food per day. Electricity and running water will also be cut from 9pm to 9am daily.
 * Curfew and Martial Law: A 9pm curfew has come into effect, due to the massive increase in general public unrest. A state of martial law also existed between November 11-25, 2019/1444.
 * State of Emergency: A State of Emergency has been called, allowing the President and Prime Minister full control over the Republic of Armenia. Future elections are suspended for the time being, although President Armen Sarkissian has pledged to try to restore a semblance of normality to the nation within 5 years.
 * Foreign Citizens stuck inside Armenia: As many tourists and expats have been transported through time along with us, we offer them permanent resident status in Armenia, as it is unlikely that we will be able to return to the modern era anytime soon.
 * Capital: Yerevan
 * Economy: The Armenian economy has been rocked by the sudden unexplained temporal displacement event. The country's stock exchange has been hit hard by these unfolding events, with the economy on a downward turn. The communications industry has been hit especially hard, with the Armenian telecommunications industry almost completely decimated. As Armenia relies heavily on outside exports of energy and oil, power shortages have roiled the nation, and large swathes of the country are without electricity or gasoline. The panic of the general population does not help with this grave issue.
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 3,046,100
 * Religion: 94.8 Christian (92.5% Armenian Apostolic,) 0.8% Yazidi Muslim, 0.2% Pagan, 4% None/Other
 * Ethnicity: 98.1% Armenian, 1.9% other (Yazidis, Kurds, Russians, etc.)
 * Military:
 * Armenian Military: Almost all of the Armenian military have made it through the transition through time. The military is now patrolling the borders of the country.
 * Army:
 * Troops: 80,000 troops, 32,000 reserves
 * Tanks: 20 T-80 tanks, 137 T-72 tanks, 8 T-54/55 tanks
 * Other motorized infantry vehicles: 80 BMP-1s, 7-BMP-1Ks, 55 BMP-2s, 12 BRM-1Ks, 11 BTR-60s, 21 BTR-70s, 4 BTR-80s, 145 MT-LBs, 5 BMD-1s, 120 BRDM-2 scout vehicles
 * Air Force: 15 Su-25 ground attack planes, 1 MiG-25 jet fighter, 16 Mil Mi-24 helicopter gunships, 6 L-39 trainer and attack aircraft, 16 Yak-52 trainer aircraft, 3 Il-76 cargo planes, 18 Mil Mi-8 transport helicopters, 10 Mil Mi-2 light utility helicopters, 1 anti-aircraft missile brigade, 2 regiments armed with 100 anti-aircraft complexes.
 * 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:
 * Literally any other Exiled group: Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Hello? Is this the Krusty Krab? Uh, hello?...
 * Byzantine Empire, Georgia, Albania, Serbia, Trebizond: Alliance and trade deal? We'll also give you some of our modern technology. The Turks are gonna be sorry they ever messed with ya.
 * Qara Qoyunlu Federation: Hey, big dude. Psst. I need oil. Can I drill for oil in Iraq? No? How about tech and some cash money? What do you say?
 * Aq Qoyunlu, Turkish beyliks, and Timurid Empire: Acknowledge our existence (and please don't hurt us).
 * Ethnic Armenians living outside Armenian borders: Hey, move to this new country that just appeared out of nowhere. You're gonna have the time of your life. We have cool stuff that lets everyone live like your era's nobility. Plus we even speak the same language. Come over. Please. We implore you.
 * Conflicts: N/A
 * Events:
 * Societal Upheaval: Armenian citizens woke up on November 11, 2019 to find massive electricity and gas shortages, a complete cutoff of communications with the outside world, and their country completely on its own. Panic quickly ensued, with looting, suicides, and general civil disobedience running rampant, forcing the government to enact curfew and declare martial law for a time, as reconaissance missions operated with drones scout out the general vicinity to determine what had happened. Reports from said drones showed that the modern world had been completely replaced with the state of affairs during the Late Medieval Era, with historians identifying the time period as sometime in the early or mid-15th century. This only served to exacerbate the panic of the general public.
 * State of Emergency: A state of emergency is declared by the President and Vice President on November 18, 2019/1444, after conclusive and irrefutable evidence had been presented of the temporal displacement of the entire country of Armenia. This state of emergency is in effect for an indefinite amount of time, and all elections are suspended for the time being.
 * Contact with the "Ancestors": Our new geopolitical situation has put us in an even more precarious situation than what we were exposed to prior to temporal displacement. Thus, diplomatic delegations are sent to the courts of royal and noble families of the Byzantine Empire, Georgia, Trebizond, Albania, Serbia, the Qara Qoyunlu and Aq Qoyunlu tribal federations, the Turkish beyliks, and the Timurid Empire. These delegations are accompanied by Armenian diplomats, historians and linguists (especially those specializing in the medieval Balkans, Caucasus, and Middle East), as well as an array of modern technology and an offering of a few pounds of solid gold. It is noted that no delegation is sent to the Ottoman court, with a letter written in perfect medieval Turkish sent instead; the contents of said letter being simply, "F*ck you".
 * Friends?: We offer the Byzantines, Georgians, Trebizondians, Albanians and Serbians a military alliance and defensive pact in order to protect against the perfidious Turk, as well as a free trade deal, allowing goods from each of these countries to be traded in Armenian territory tarriff-free; and a technology sharing deal, equipping our (hopefully) new-found allies with modern equipment, technology, and weaponry should they accept.
 * Petrol Control: The Qara Qoyunlu get hit with an offer they can't refuse (we hope): Let us drill for oil in Iraq in exchange for modern technology, equipment, and arms, military access, infrastructure overhauls of the nation, and a substantial amount of gold. (Just to make sure, we have the delegation sent to the Qara Qoyunlu court have several military and police members armed with concealed guns, to threaten them into submission).
 * Hello? Anyone here?: Daily radio broadcasts sending out the full official name of the Republic of Armenia in both Armenian and English, the Armenian national anthem, and the summary of the general state of affairs in Armenia are broadcasted worldwide, hoping for someone else to recieve the broadcasts to let us know we are not alone in this strange time.
 * Emergency Infrastructure Project (EIP): In order to address the dire issue of power security, several wind farms are planned to be built across the Armenian countryside, and provided Qara Qoyunlu allows us access to the Iraqi oilfields, several oil refineries and oil power plants are also planned to be built. Construction of vertical farms in urban areas, as well as more water treatment plants along freshwater sources (especiallt Lake Sevan) is planned. Meanwhile, citizens are to ration food and water, and power will be cut to the entire nation between 9pm and 9am daily.
 * The Other Armenians: Large numbers of ethnic Armenians exist outside the borders of the Armenian nation. We encourage these “predecessor” Armenians to immigrate and take up service in Armenia, in order to bolster our population and workforce, as well as provide intel about the nations and political situations of this era in history. The government begins sending wandering agents into Armenian-majority areas, telling them of the superior quality of life in this “new Armenian nation” and persuading them to move to our territory.
