Republic of Astrapan

Astrapo, home of the just, home of the free our noble country has always been stalwart in defence of personal liberty and accepting towards the other races, together no evil can stand before. So sounded the rallying cries of Astrapo before the war, the war cry has changed, Astrapo is tired and dying. But their death throes appear to shake their adversaries up, their new weapons have changed the war, and Astrapo might just survive, but not in spirit.
Astrapan is a relatively small country, long having thrived on its rich sulfur mines and it's alchemical fuel industry. It ended with the war of the Joili fields, its land has been drained and starved desperate to save themselves they have taken to darker means, using the recently excavated research labs they are unleashing horrors upon the fields of war. Astrapan does not possess the industrial capacity of their neighbors nor the manpower, but their knowledge of biology and the old research labs have led to prevail by means of biological warfare and Revo-Tech, a terrible science that can allow them to resurrect the dead with an maintain a measure of control over the undead soldiers.
Once an optimistic and progressive republic, they sought to embody the best aspects of the old ways, to reclaim their birthright with science, founded upon the union of elves and men, they sought to set aside ancient grievances no matter how difficult and bitter the road may be. But now such noble aspirations seem far forgotten, in the face of subjugation, old tensions flair in the republic, to others it has only strengthened the bond between the different peoples and races, and should they survive, they will have forged a bond in blood.
