Belka















Belka is a fictional country that was created in the PlayStation 2 video game '' Ace Combat 5 '' by Namco and featured in its prequel Ace Combat Zero .


LOCATION

The Principality of Belka is located north east of Osea , on the Osean main continent. Before the Belkan War in 1995, Belka could be estimated as being roughly 505,000 km&2 (around the size of Spain); during the height of the war, Belka encompassed an area estimated of around 780,500 km&2 (around the size of Turkey); after the war and loss of its Southern and South Eastern territories it retreated to an area estimated around 390,500 km&2 (around the size of Zimbabwe).

Belka is a medium-sized nation, surrounded to the south and east by Ustio , Ratio, Recta, Fato, Gebet and Osea ; Belka has also declared war on all of these countries, plus the Kingdom Of Sapin . Belka's northern coastline runs along the Arctic Ocean.


CLIMATE

Little is known about Belka's climate. However, judging by its position below the Arctic, it could be surmised that north Belka appears to have very cold winters and cool summers. A mountain range running across the center of the country may provide some protection for the south.

Belka's most noticeable weather conditions consist of heavy snowfall. As a result of the nuclear strike carried out near the end of the Belkan War, most of Belka's central mountain range is too dangerous to inhabit due to radioactive fallout. This seems to have had an effect on the weather patterns of the rest of North Belka, turning it into most of it into an Arctic wasteland, throwing North Belka into anarchy. Effects of the blasts also spread as far south as the former Belkan city of Sudentor which only escaped the blast due to the mountains as evidenced by the ground zero crater north of the city.

However, North Belka was not always as desolate as it is today. A vacation town on the North Belkan coast a few dozen miles west of Dinsmark used to attract travelers from all over the world before the Belkan war with a warm, serene environment.


CULTURE

Belka bears several cultural similarities to Germany , including its language. Though never spoken in full sentences in either Ace Combat 5 or Ace Combat Zero , almost all Belkan callsigns in the game are German words. These include the ace squadrons Grün (green), Rot (red), Gelb (yellow), Schwarz (black) and Schnee (snow). The Belkan-based Gründer Industries also takes its name from German, as well as several locations in the country, such as Anfang (Beginning), Südentor (Southern Gate), Hoffnung (Hope), Schirm (Umbrella) and Stier (Bull). Several in-universe magazines pictured on the Japanese website are also in German. The magazines are the "Belkan Fleiger," Flieger being German for flyer.


REGIONS

Belka was originally divided into North and South Belka. North Belka, also known as Nord Belka, is the Belkan homeland. South Belka was land taken from Osea in an earlier war and acted as a buffer zone between Osea and Belka. After Belka lost the Belkan War, South Belka was returned to Osean territory.


NOTABLE PLACES


  • Area B7R - the main battle zone at the border between Belka and Ustio, named "The Round Table" by the aces who fly in the area. The topography makes the location look like a giant circle with a 400 km radius, hence its name. It is supposedly the attack corridor used by Belka to invade not just Ustio, but also its surrounding nations, making it an extremely important strategic location, charged to many Belkan aces to defend. Apparently, it also holds a large natural resource reserves that Belka desperately needs to fund its war effort. Aces who distinguish themselves in this area are known as "Knights of the Round Table".

  • Avalon Dam/Mund Valley - A dam in the Belkan heartland built amid controversy because of its ambiguous purpose; after it was completed, however, the Belkans came to embrace the dam, calling it the pride of Belka as an engineering feat. Following the Belkan War, Belkan engineers who defected to the radical terrorist group "A World with No Boundaries" completed the V2 MIRV missile and planned to launch it from Avalon, but the Galm team destroyed the missiles before they could fulfill their deadly purpose.

  • Dinsmark - The capital of the Belka Federation and the state of North Belka, home to the University of Dinsmark.

  • Glatisant - An ancient Belkan fortress built on the top of Mt. Ivrea. The Belkan army converted it into a modern base, the centerpiece of the Hydrian line, a defense line that stretched from the Sapin border to the Osean border, as well as a suspected nuclear production facility. It was destroyed by the Allied forces, but not before a mysterious attack took out several Ustian squadrons.

  • Lumen - A border city in South Belka, Lumen was the site of the peace resolution talks after the Belkan War. It was attacked by the XB-0 Hresvelgr several months later.

  • Mt. Schirm - A mine in North Belka from the Belkan Federation's more prosperous era. Probably abandoned during the 80s when the vein went dry, possibly affecting the already chaotic Belkan economy. An operation occurred over the area during the Circum-Pacific War, when a significant force was used to defend the mine as nuclear weapons were being stored. The V1 Tactical nuclear weapons were to be sold for the Yuktobanians and Oseans fighting each other. This ended when the Razgriz Air Command Squadron destroyed the entrance, sealing it for perpetuity, presumably.

  • Schayne Plains - Belka's second line of defence, the Schayne Plains are an open expanse of fields, bisected by a branching river. In the middle of the war, the Allieds neutralized the defence capabilities of the defense line, but suffered massive casualties when the Belkans used the chemical laser Excalibur to attack the allied aircraft.

  • Stier Castle - An ancient castle in the Stier region, overlooks one of the seven nuclear blast craters left from the Belkan War. The battle against the Hresvelgr also occurred here. President Harling of Osea was kept in captivity here during the Circum-Pacific War of 2010.

    • Tauberg - a forested area in the heart of Belka. It originally was a Belkan National Preserve, and had over 60 species of mammals and over 200 species of birds. During Belka's military expansion period, however, the land was bought by the Belkan Army as the site that would become the territory of their super laser, Excalibur . Rather than destroying the wildlife's habitat, though, the secretive nature of the Excalibur program actually prevented outside influences from affecting the wildlife. The wildlife had adapted to living alongside the technology of Belka.The weapon Excalibur was finally destroyed by the Galm team(Galm 1)



    HISTORY




    MILITARY




    TRIVIA


    • Belka is in many ways tied to Nazi Germany as it follows the same pattern as being taken over by a fascist government following national crisis (in Germany's case, Hyperinflation after World War I ; in Belka's case, collapse of economy due to a lack of natural resources caused by regions such as Ustio ceceding to other countries. )

    • The division of North and South Belka after the Belkan War is also similar to division of West and East Germany after World War II.

    • The Belkan war can also be seen as a parallel to the Gulf War . Kuwait and Ustio were both nations with resources wanted by the aggressor nation. The operation at the Futuro Canal resembles the US Fleet moving through the Suez Canal during the opening stages of the Gulf War.

    • There are many references to the legend of King Arthur , most noticeable being the elite fighter squadrons called ' Knights Of The Round Table ', the Belkan super weapon ' Excalibur ', the final mission of Ace Combat Zero takes place at Avalon Dam and ace pilots Joshua Lucan Bristow and Anthony Bedivere Palmer.

    • Belka's nuclear weapons (the V1 Tactical Nuke and V2 MIRV Nuclear missile) share their name with the German V-weapons .

    • The saturation bombing of Hoffnung in mission 11 of Ace Combat Zero may be an allegory to the Firebombing Of Dresden In World War II .

    • Mund Valley, the valley where Avalon Dam was built, could be a reference to Peenemunde , a real life V2 facility.

    Leasath (. It seems to also share similarities to North Korea , especially in its relationship to the Federal Republic Of Aurelia . After going through years of Civil War , Leasath is now led by Commanding Officer Diego Gaspar Navarro. Navarro is an Arms Dealer who has profited immensely through the years of war and declares war with Aurelia under false pretenses to continue that profit. As a country, however, Leasath has a high amount of poverty due to the years of civil war. During the war, Aurelia provided Leasath with food and money; however, Navarro spent these resources on weapons and armament to increase his own wealth.

    Leasath's superweapons include the massive air fortress Gleipnir and its derivative fighter, the Fenrir .


    GEOGRAPHY


    Physical Geography

    Leasath is on the Southern Osean Continent, bordered to the east by the Spring Sea and to the south by Aurelia . Leasath has a Temperate Climate near the Aurelian isthmus, and a Semiarid Climate on its southeastern islands.


    Human Geography

    Leasath is similar to North Korea both geographically and in its political relationship with its southern neighbor. Aurelia provided Leasath with large amounts of financial aid during and after its civil war. Despite this generosity, most of Leasath still holds animosity towards Aurelia due to state-sponsored propaganda. Even after years of civil war, Leasath united under Diego Navarro and the hatred towards Aurelia that his regime inspired.

=Gründer Industries=

Gründer Industries is a fictional Belka n corporation from the Ace Combat series of video games.


HISTORY


Gründer Industries was originally known as the South Belkan Munitions Factory. They produced most, if not all of Belka's arms during the Belkan War. After South Belka was ceded to Osea, the company became known as North Osea Gründer Industries and began exporting arms to the superpowers Osea and Yuktobania . In the Cirum-Pacific War, it was discovered that Gründer was helping the Belkan government orchestrate the conflict as part of a plan to revive Belka, the company's headquarters in Sudentor, North Osea was attacked and destroyed by the Razgriz.

Eventually the company, by merging with several other corporations, became a major aircraft manufacturer again and renamed itself General Resources, LTD. They later started producing a variety of goods and created a para-military force, the General Resources Defense Force (GRDF).

=Osea=




Osea













Osea is a fictional country that was first introduced in the PlayStation 2 video game '' Ace Combat 5 '' by Namco , and was later featured in its prequel Ace Combat Zero . Osea is said to be the world's largest superpower, however Yuktobania rivals it in size as well as military might.


LAND AREA


The Osean Federation is located in the western and center of the Osean continent, which amounts to about 60% of its land mass. There is no numerical estimate to the size of Osea, but it's estimated that Osea is at least 3 or 4 times the size of Belka before ''The Belkan War'', (which itself is estimated to be around 12,335,000&2 km), and appears to be similar in size to the country it is most often comparable to, the United States in the real world.

Osea is a vast nation, with Ceres Ocean on its Northwest coast, the Pacific Ocean bordering the Southwest coast, the Cascade Ocean to the Northeast, and Oured Bay and the Atlantic Ocean in the Southeast. It was bordered by Belka and Sapin before The Belkan War, but after Osea gained South Belka (North Osea) in the conflict with Belka, it added Ustio to its list of bordering nations. It is bordered by the Wellow Islands in the North.
