History
The United Republic of Ireland is the successor of the Republic of Ireland which was formed when the Irish Free State attained one hundred percent independence from Great Britain. The Republic had seemingly simple beginnings, but a not-so-simple relationship with Northern Ireland. Ruthless paramilitary groups such as the Provisional Irish Republican Army began to rise in power in Northern Ireland, fighting for the land they believed rightfully belonged to the Republic.

This period of time was called "The Troubles." A period where at its worst, car bombings and murder were normal occurrences in the North. The British Government, realizing that continuing to try and fight off the PIRA would do nothing but cause more unnecessary death proposed the Belfast Agreement with the government of the Republic of Ireland in an attempt by both sides to calm the PIRA.

In it, Northern Irish citizens were entitled to both UK and Irish citizenship as well as the establishment of a council of Northern Irish and Southern Irish. There also were talks of perhaps running ballots to see how much of the population wished to stay with the UK or join up with the Republic. This satisfied most PIRA members who called an official cease-fire...but not every one....

Connan Conacht and John McGuinness, the men who would later become the last taoiseach and president of The Republic of Ireland as it was known then, wanted more. They knew that at this point, brute violence would not cause any further advancement, so they got involved in the government of the Republic of Ireland where they slowly built up the Irish Socialist party. Through tireless campaign and propaganda by the two men, it became the majority of the Irish parliament.

Then it was time for McGuinness to run for president of Ireland since he was a brilliant speech writer and giver. He won the election by a land slide. His first action was to appoint Connacht as the new prime minister of Ireland. Connacht went on to advertise another ballot to be held in Northern Ireland to join the Republic. After much persuasion, it was ultimately allowed and the result was in favor of joining the Republic by a small margin. Although it was expected that more would be in favor than other ballots in the past, no one expected this drastic of a change. Most suspected foul play though Connacht of course, denied all allegations and it went through, changing the name of the newly unified state to the "United Republic of Ireland."

Shortly afterward, president McGuinness was assassinated. The perpetrator was a British loyalist who knew the election was a hoax. A greatly saddened Connacht ordered the man to be executed before he could speak his mind and went on with the plans he and his long-time friend planned to make. With the largely socialist parliament, it was relatively easy to change what was once a very free market into a command economy, as well as giving himself much more power.

He still uses the traditional title of "taoiseach," but instead of finding a replacement president, he merged the role of president with his title, making him both head of state and government, as well as essentially making himself a dictator; he keeps the parliament around mostly to give the illusion that he is not an absolute ruler. Conan Connacht is suspected to still hold great hatred for Great Britain. Although he denies this, he is still considered to be dangerous and a man to not be fully trusted.

General training completed:

Name: Seamus Kerry
Age: 59
Appearance:
Posted Image
An average sized man standing at about 5'10", Kerry is showing his signs of age and work related stress over the years. All color in his hair has long been gone and shows other evident signs of aging on his face.
Personality: Kerry has the personality you would expect from a military man. Stern, neat, by the book. However, he has a rather foul tendency to lose his sense of morals whenever he deems it necessary. Is a heavy smoker and is often seen with a cigar in his mouth.
Background: Born in Sligo, Ireland, Seamus lived rather peacefully with his mother and two brothers. He was the youngest of the three but was assertive enough to usually be on level footing with his older siblings. When it was time all three of them chose military careers. However, not all the same. Kerry's brothers joined the IRA in Northern Ireland and subsequently lost their lives, whereas Seamus joined the official Defense Forces of the Republic of Ireland where he rose through the ranks, leading peace missions in the Irish Special Forces.
With the formation of the United Republic of Ireland, Kerry was seen as, by far, the best candidate to be one of the new nation's top generals.
Battle Experience:
-0 Victories
-0 Losses
Corps: 1st Irish Workers Corps
Specialization: Infantry tactics and Mobility
Star Ranking- One
Abilities- Corps overall power increased

Tech Update

T-90 Slezka Main Battle Tank
Posted Image

Description: The T-90 Slezka uses 2A46M 125 mm smoothbore gun and 1G46 gunner sights from the T-80U, a new engine, and thermal sights. Original protective measures include Kontakt-5 ERA, laser warning receivers, and the EMT-7 electromagnetic pulse creator for the destruction of magnetic mines. In addition, the T-90 Ops tank is a great improvement over earlier models which had seen service under the R.S.R. due to its Shtora suit. Shtora-1 is an electro-optical jammer that jams the enemy's semiautomatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) antitank guided missiles, laser rangefinders and target designators. This technology shall give the U.R.I. armor a great edge over their foes.

The T-90 Slezka's main armament is the 2A46M 125 mm smoothbore gun. It can be replaced without dismantling the inner turret and is capable of firing armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS), high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT-FS), and high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) ammunition.

As a result of joint research between the Russian Socialist Republic, and the United Republic of Ireland, the next leap into armored stealth technology has been made. The T-90 Slezka features a highly advanced stealth system based off of aircraft stealth systems. As a result, the T-90 Slezka is very difficult to detect, allowing its operators to maneuver into an ideal position with little to no opposition from hostiles. Truly, the Slezka is the most formidable main battle tank on the modern battlefield to date.
