'''Post-War Reconstruction and Social Reforms'''
  
The birth of the Skoric People's Socialist State marked a pivotal moment in history, coming to fruition in the wake of the turbulent Skoric civil war that concluded on Noyumbr 14, 1911. Following the formal peace agreement, the aristocratic Houses, while not disbanded entirely, assumed a redefined role within the central government, shaping a new political landscape. The post-war reconstruction efforts in the Skoric Daugrech were vast and multifaceted. To heal the physical and emotional scars left by the Skoric civil war, the government undertook ambitious infrastructure projects, rebuilding war-torn cities and reconnecting the nation through highways and railways. Efforts were also made to restore historical landmarks and cultural heritage sites damaged during the conflict.

With the destruction left by the Skoric civil war, the government undertook ambitious infrastructure projects, rebuilding war-torn cities and reconnecting the nation through highways and railways. Efforts were also made to restore the national spirit, through the building of monuments to the lives lost in the civil war.
  
As for social reforms, the Skoric Daugrech went on an ambitious journey to improve the quality of life for its citizens. Comprehensive healthcare systems were established, offering free medical services to all residents at the government's expense. To address issues of public health and sanitation, mass vaccination campaigns and clean water initiatives were launched, significantly reducing disease-related mortality. Infantry mortality especially plummeted thanks to these initiatives.

Food security remained a top priority, however, and as such the Skoric Daugrech introduced agricultural collectives to ensure a steady food supply. These collectives encouraged community participation in farming and helped boost agricultural productivity. Increasing mechanization also boosted crop yields. Under Ghauss's leadership, the nation implemented a system of state-owned farms, providing essential food staples to the population at affordable prices.

'''The Pan-Ariethnian War and Aftermath'''
  
The outbreak of the Pan-Ariethnian War in 1940 marked a significant turning point in the history of the Skoric Daugrech. The Skoric Daugrech's pre-emptive invasion of the Ruvian Empire led to a brutal and long conflict. The war involved massive military mobilization, with conscription extending to nearly every able-bodied citizen. The Skoric Daugrech's industry was almost entirely focused on the production of war material, to ensure maximum combat effectiveness.

The outbreak of the Pan-Ariethnian War in 1940 marked a turning point in the history of the Skoric Daugrech. Skoric spies had relayed information that the Holy Republic of Lilaborn was mobilizing for a potential invasion, alongside other states that bordered the Skoric Daugrech. Thus, The Skoric Daugrech attempted a pre-emptive invasion of the Holy Republic of Lilaborn. It was considered the 'first shot' of the Pan-Ariethnian Conflict (PAC). The war involved a massive amount of military material and included mass mobilization on a never-before-seen scale. Skoric industry was almost entirely honed for the production of war material, to ensure maximum combat effectiveness.
  
The war saw the Skoric Daugrech engage in intense aerial bombings, and chemical warfare, resulting in a staggering death toll and never before seen widespread destruction.

The Skoric Daugrech, officially the Skoric Peoples Socialist State, was a large country that spanned much of northern Ariethia from 1911 to 2010. It was a traditionally federal union, composed of 14 various regions of limited individual autonomy that were headed by a supreme council. Both its economy and government were highly centralized up until the late 2000's, by which time a slow collapse of the domestic industry and rapid social change destabilized party control. The Skoric city of Suric, located in the Suraggard SAS served as the administrative and official capital of the state.

The Skoric Daugrech saw its inception during the 1904-1911 Askorian Civil war, which occurred during the dissolution of the Askorian Empire. Various leaders of various political leanings fought for influence within the ailing Askorian Empire, in essence, to gain legitimacy with the populance and control over the nation.The Revolutionary Army of the Skoric Socialist Front, headed by Loymen Ghauss, would however ultimately find itself victorious against the various other organized armies, including the remnants of the Royal Askorian Army. After the total defeat of opposition forces, the SSF would eventually consolidate their holdings and negotiate over land ownership with neighbouring nations. It was during the spring of 1911 that the SSF would formally announce the formation of the Skoric Peoples Socialist State, which was to be headed by the Skoric Socialist Party.

Loymen Ghauss, who headed the Skoric Socialist Front, would go onto become the Svaken(Leader) until his death in 1955. Under his rule, the country saw large strides in the improvement of the quality of life, healthcare, food security and industrial capacity of the nation. The Skoric Daugrech acheived unprecendented economic growth, despite the famine and ailing food security situation it inherited from its predecessor. During this period, the Skoric Daugrech also acheived total political oppression by systematically exterminating the various remnants of the nationalist, monarchist and democratic rebels. By doing so, the Skoric Socialist party acheived complete political control with next to no significant oppossition. In 1940, the Skoric Daugrech would perform a pre-emptive invasion of the Ruvian Empire, opening up the Western Front of the Pan-Ariethnian War. Estimated total military and civilian casualties are said to be at around 7 million. An uneasy stalemate with the Ruvian-led Bloc in 1947 would mark the official end of hostilities, with various occupied territories being consolidated.

In the succeeding years after the Pan-Ariethnian conflict, the Skoric Daugrech and its allies would confront the Ruvian Empire and now rising Deysian Federation through various indirect means. The short ten-year time span in which these tensions existed was marked by a burst of proxy wars, increasing political instability, and increased use and proliferation of nuclear and chemical weapons. The Skoric Aligned bloc would mainly face off against the Ruvian-led bloc of nations through their own highly centralized military alliance, The Autonomous Nations, in 1951 to support Skoric international interests. The Skoric Daugrech would participate and support numerous wars within central Deysia and Noshkovia, as well as rebel groups within the Zoln Empire. The Skoric Daugrech would be the first to use Silvum gas in the Second Ruvian-Skoric War in 1966, a new novel chemical weapon. Shortly after the end of the second Ruvian-Skoric war, a change in foreign policy would alter the way in which foreign countries were dealt with. At the start of the 1970's, an elaborate 'blockade' by the Deysian Federation and Ruvian Empire sought to curb the industrial and military growth of the Skoric Daugrech. This forced the Skoric Daugrech to search elsewhere for the importing of rare-earth metals and various important chemicals. The Skoric Daugrech would be forced into isolation, and so it leveraged its infulence over the members of its block to fulfill its trade requirements. The Muwaic PSR would become the main trading partner of the Skoric Daugrech due to this economic plan. In the late 1990's however, the informal blockade would be lifted, allowing import of raw materials and other goods. This paved the way for a partial privatization within the country. Renewed trade and an influx of Skoric heavy machinery and various other products would highlight the 90's. by the early 2000's, the pursuit of reformation and openness gradually led to a large, but restricted import of foreign computers and phones. Many of these foreign products would soon find themselves being manfactured in factories within the Skoric Daugrech. Unfiltered propagation of information through the World Wide Web allowed increased freedom for political and creative expression, and would leave a large impact on Skoric culture and its perception of the world abroad. Later in 2008, an Obnian separatist group calling themselves the 'Republic of the North Star' initially conceived in a SkoBook discussion board, would cause a chain of events that would eventually led to a formidable guerilla army that would actively recruit and wage war against the regional government. An escalation and lack of urgency from the central government would eventually lead the storming of the Skoric parliament by an elite Obnian force. The parliament would then later be irreparably damaged by three tons of plastic explosives. A brief but intense retaliatory campaign would be fought in the Obnian SAS, but ultimately occupying Skoric forces would withdraw under orders of the reigning Svaken and due to the threat of chemical weapons attack in numerous population centers. A cascade of protests across the Daugrech along with a paralyzed leadership would lead to the events of Secembr the 1'st 2010. With the proclamation of the Free Obnian Republic, high-ranking members within the Skoric Socialist Party would declare the dissolution of the Skoric Peoples Socialist State, alongside the Svaken. The Zuran SAS, previously the independent Zuran PSR, would declare independence and secede from the Daugrech the next day. The Skoric Daugrech would be suceeded by the Democratic Socialist Republic of Askoria (Defacto).

Over the course of its entire existence, the Skoric Daugrech would play an instrumental role in the sciences, aiding in the development of various technologies both military and commercial. As one of the founding members of the Congress of Nations it possessed a permanent seat on the World Council. At its height it had the world's second-largest economy, bearing the world's fourth-largest and the time of its dissolution. The Skoric Daugrech would compromise one out of the three reigning superpowers of the world, alongside the Ruvian Empire and Deysian Federation and would exercise its control throughout its Socialist Bloc. It would compete economically, technologically, militarily and ideologically with its peers until its total dissolution.

History

Revolutionary Foundation (1900-1911)

Reports on the actual beginnings of a Skoric socialist revolution are not quite exact, but it is believed to begun within the Askorian Empire in and around 1892, at which time general discontent with imperial rule was soaring. Although the country was on track to become a constitutional monarchy under a reformist bill, resistance to its actual resolution by the aristocratic Houses would continue to delay its passing. After reaching a boiling point, protests would erupt across the country, many which would be crushed to varying levels of effectiveness my the Royal Guard Corps and the Royal Askorian Army. Revolutionary activity would rapidly grow, with government and aristocratic control rapidly deteriorating with each year.

In an attempt to hold onto power, the government would later employ the help of the personal army of the Houses as a means to prevent a possible civil war. However this would do little effect but rile the masses against the government, eventually leading to various popular uprisings across the country. It was around this time, in late 1900, that the informal formation of the Skoric Socialist Front would occur.

By 1901, the Royal government would find itself backstabbed by various aristocrats, namely the heads of the Houses. This pitted the Royal Askorian Army against not only various fringe popular uprisings but also a formidable and professional force that had often received expensive training abroad.The Skoric Socialist Front, under the leadership of Loymen Ghaus would go onto quickly receive the support of the people, while rapidly expanding the volunteer corp. Loymen Ghauss would consolidate his position as leader within the Socialist Front, citing 'temporary measures' however his tenure as supreme leader would continue until his untimely death.

The ensuing Skoric civil war would see some 6 million soldiers of the Socialist Front fight against the various remnants of the Royal Askorian Army, as well as the professional armies of the various Houses. General interest by foreign powers would lead to a lack of support for the House forces, as it was seen as being more beneficial to give legitimacy to the Socialist Front, under the assumption that various one-sided deals could be made to the new and weak Socialist government. The bloody Skoric civil war would end in total victory for the Socialist Front on the 14'th of Noyumbr, 1911. A formal peace deal was signed, but the aristocratic Houses wouldn't be completely disbanded, albeit they would serve the central government under a different drawn out plan.

Post-War Reconstruction and Social Reforms

The birth of the Skoric People's Socialist State marked a pivotal moment in history, having emerged from the chaotic Skoric civil war. Following the formal peace agreement, the aristocratic Houses, while not disbanded entirely, assumed a redefined role within the central government, shaping a new political landscape. The post-war reconstruction efforts in the Skoric Daugrech meanwhile were large. With the destruction left by the Skoric civil war, the government undertook ambitious infrastructure projects, rebuilding war-torn cities and reconnecting the nation through highways and railways. Efforts were also made to restore the national spirit, through the building of monuments to the lives lost in the civil war.

As for social reforms, the Skoric Daugrech went on an ambitious journey to improve the quality of life for its citizens. Comprehensive healthcare systems were established, so as to offer free medical services to all citizens at the government's expense. To address issues of public health and sanitation, mass vaccination campaigns and clean water initiatives were also launched, significantly reducing disease-related mortality. Infant mortality especially plummeted thanks to these initiatives.

Food security would continue to be a top priority, however, and as such the Skoric Daugrech introduced agricultural collectives to ensure a steady food supply. These collectives encouraged community participation in farming, helping to boost agricultural productivity. Increasing mechanization also boosted crop yields. Under Ghauss's leadership, a system of state-owned farms was implemented, providing essential food staples to the populace at affordable prices.

In terms of industrial development, the Skoric Daugrech modernized its factories by introducing new machines and manufacturing processes. These all contributed to expanding the industrial capacity. Massive investments were made in heavy industry and infrastructure, transforming the country into a manufacturing powerhouse. This economic transformation fueled the Skoric Daugrech's rapid ascent to becoming one of the world's leading industrialized nations.

Political Landscape and Suppression of Opposition

The Skoric People's Socialist State set about consolidating its political control. Opposition forces, including nationalists, monarchists, and democrats, faced systematic suppression. The government established a vast network of surveillance, ensuring that the Skoric Socialist Party maintained a means to survey for dissent. To maintain ideological purity, the education system also changed, with a strong focus on inculcating socialist values from a young age.

Media censorship was stringent too, and journalists were required to adhere to strict guidelines. State-controlled media outlets disseminated propaganda to reinforce the party's narrative, while dissenting voices were systematically silenced. Cultural expression was generally allowed, however, artists and writers were generally 'encouraged' to create works that adhered to the state's ideology.

The Pan-Ariethnian War and Aftermath

The outbreak of the Pan-Ariethnian War in 1940 marked a turning point in the history of the Skoric Daugrech. Skoric spies had relayed information that the Holy Republic of Lilaborn was mobilizing for a potential invasion, alongside other states that bordered the Skoric Daugrech. Thus, The Skoric Daugrech attempted a pre-emptive invasion of the Holy Republic of Lilaborn. It was considered the 'first shot' of the Pan-Ariethnian Conflict (PAC). The war involved a massive amount of military material and included mass mobilization on a never-before-seen scale. Skoric industry was almost entirely honed for the production of war material, to ensure maximum combat effectiveness.

The war saw the Skoric Daugrech engage in and also suffer intense aerial bombings and chemical warfare. The death toll was staggering, with entire cities reduced to dust. In the wake of the conflict, the Skoric Daugrech was ultimately beaten back, but not defeated. Much like its rival, it faced the herculean task of post-war reconstruction, considering that large segments of its infrastructure lay in rubble.

The uneasy stalemate reached in 1947 resulted in the Skoric Daugrech consolidating its territories captured in the east and the south. The Skoric Daugrech, although battered, remained intact, and continued to exert its influence throughout its bloc of Socialist nations (ATNAS).

International Tensions and Proxy Wars

In the years following the Pan-Ariethnian War, the Skoric Daugrech and its allies faced complex international tensions, primarily with the Holy Republic of Lilaborn and the rising Deysian Federation. The Skoric Daugrech's highly centralized military alliance, known as The Autonomous Nations(or ATNAS), served as a bulwark against regional and international adversaries. The alliance played an important role in safeguarding the Skoric Daugrech's interests and bolstering its position on the world stage.

The Skoric Daugrech was active in supporting various proxy wars, providing military and logistical aid to socialist rebel groups in central Deysia and Noshkovia, often against the influence of the Ruvian Empire. These proxy wars further destabilized the region and drew the Skoric Daugrech deeper into the global power struggle.

In 1966, the Skoric Daugrech shocked the world by becoming the first nation to employ Silvum gas, a novel chemical weapon, during the short but intense Second Ruvian-Skoric War. The use of this weapon drew international condemnation, leading to calls for disarmament and a renewed focus on chemical weapons regulations. It eventually led to a chemical-weapons ban, and the near-total destruction of chemical weapons stocks around the globe.

The Deysian Federation and the H.R.L.'s blockade in the early 1970s posed a significant challenge to the Skoric Daugrech's economic and military growth. It forced the nation to explore alternative sources for rare-earth metals and critical chemicals essential for its industries. As a result, the Skoric Daugrech was forced into a period of isolation from the global market, a period referred to as the "Great Isolation."

During this time, the Skoric Daugrech leveraged its influence over ATNAS, a group of socialist nations that provided vital trade partners and economic support. The Muwaic PSR became the Skoric Daugrech's primary trading partner, and the economic relationship between the two nations deepened significantly during this period.

The Skoric Daugrech's economic resilience and adaptive policies helped it to overcome the challenges of the blockade. While import restrictions and trade embargoes persisted, the Skoric Daugrech continued to develop its industrial base, diversifying its economy and achieving notable self-sufficiency. It is one of few nations that could be said to have successfully committed autarky, however, this is disputed.

Military

The Skoric Peoples Socialist State maintained a professional army, ranking second in the GSI index in 2005 for defense capability. Spending a total of 7% of its GDP on defense(2015) the Skoric Military ranked second in military spending. The Skoric armed forces, formed shortly after the official proclamation of the Skoric Socialist State, maintains six main branches; Ground Forces, Air Forces, Naval Forces, Strategic Missile Forces, Air-defense forces, and Domestic Security Forces. The various branches of the armed forces, along with military policy, are headed by Skoric High Command. Much of the military bureaucracy occurs in a large military installation called 'Hesher' or Facility B2, which is located at a remote location in the Suraggard SAS.

The Skoric military has largely been a ground and air-focused force, its military largely prepared to repel any potential incursion from its eastern and southern flanks. The Skoric State Air Force aids in the extensive support of the ground forces via the operation of large radar installations, unmanned drones and other surveillance aircraft. The Skoric navy played a large role in the geopolitical importance of the Skoric Daugrech however its effect had largely diminished through gradual cuts in budget and the size of the fleet.The Skoric army has long adhered to the military tradition practiced within the Askorian Empire. Its military past, going back nearly two hundred years, permeates much of Skoric society, thinking and culture. In 2010, there existed some 3 million soldiers, 1.6 million of which served in the Skoric Army. These 1.6 million were divided into 160 divisions, 135 of which served as motorized infantry, with 25 serving as armored divisions. Some 400,000 meanwhile would serve in the Skoric Naval forces. The Skoric Air Force, which mainly existed as a means of air defense and air superiority fielded a large fleet of air superiority fighters. Alongside this, it would also maintain a sizable fleet of nuclear-capable strategic bombers. The Skoric Missile Forces operated more than 1300 ICBMs, deployed across some estimated 20 bases, and 178 command centers. In the late stages of the Skoric Daugrech's existence, it would aid the Muwgawana PSR in crushing a revolt in its northeast province. This would mark the last overseas' deployment of the Skoric Expeditionary Force.

For much of the Skoric Daugrech's existence, conscription was in effect up until the 2000s, by which a pivot in policy led to the transformation of the Skoric army to a volunteer force.
