America’s Fictional Enemies

The legacy of the war for Lower Janga is most notable in the various nations that are affected by it. And those who affected it. Donovia fully supported Limaria in their efforts to wrest control of Lower Janga from Atropia, and even brokered the ceasefire between the two nations. And as long as they continue to support Limaria, there is no chance that Atropia can retake control of the region. Gorgas wants closer relations with both nations, and to step away from Donovia, which means they spend most of their time trying NOT to respond to anything to do with Lower Janga. And then there is Ariana. One would expect them to side with their Islamic brothers in Atropia, but Atropia is far too secular and modern for Ariana. So Ariana is not only trying to take Lower Janga for themselves, but also trying to overthrow part or all of Atropia with a far more militant version of Islam.

Lower Janga is a breakaway province of Atropia with three nations trying to take control of it. Limaria wants to protect the ethnic Limarians in the region from foreign oppression. They remember it happening for many years before they started the war to protect them, so to them it is a matter of fact and history. Atropia considers the land to belong to them, and they have 800,000 Atropian refugees who they still contend have a right of return to their lands. Their goal is to retake the region and rule it once more. And Ariana considers Lower Janga to be a great opportunity to expand their influence and export their militant version of Islam to other nations. Those are three conflicting goals for the region that have contributed to twenty years of hot and cold conflict within Lower Janga. And those three goals affect all international relations with any of those nations.

Lower Janga is a border province between Limaria, Atropia, and Ariana. It became host to a three-year war that killed thirty thousand people outright and created over a million refugees. The Donovians brokered a ceasefire in the end, but constant small-scale skirmishes and sniper fire have kept tensions in the area high. Irregular forces backing and backed by each government, or Ariana, have built a complex system of tunnels all over the region, and they often fight each other when the main armies are trying not to start another major war. Of note is the Ariana support of the Limarian Liberation Front, an ally in the effort to spread their version of militant Islam all over the world. Should the LLF succeed in taking over the region, they would surely export their terrorism to other nations. American soldiers training in this fictional battleground have their work cut out for them.

The Independent Republic of Lower Janga is another very interesting fictional battleground American troops train in. Older versions of the Decisive Action Training Environment included in the background a Limarian Genocide at the hands of the neighboring Kalarians. This is removed in more recent DATEs probably due to real life international politics and how closely that dovetailed into the real life history of Armenia and Turkey. But that gives valuable background on why Christian Limaria attacked Muslim Atropia over the persecution of Limarians in the mutual border region of Lower Janga. Or Artzak in earlier versions. It was a three year war, twenty years ago, that created over a million refugees, wrested control of an entire province from Atropia, and has defined relations between Limaria, Atropia, and anyone who deals with either of them. It is an important region and event.

Jarie is another Gorgas province with delusions of self-governance. They were a large border province between Gorgas and Kalaria in Decisive Action Training Environment 2.2, which probably made Kalarian agents an interesting flavor in exercises. They removed Kalaria entirely and shrunk Jarie to a third its previous size in DATE 3.0, greatly changing the balance of power around Jarie. Jarie has always been ethnically different from Gorgas and wants to be independent. They do not have an organized military though, and so a few informal cells randomly bomb industrial and infrastructure targets, such as the bridges between Jarie and the rest of Gorgas. There is no major fighting between the people and the Gorgas government, making it a rather interesting fictional low-intensity training environment for American soldiers.
