Baltic League (McCarthy World)

The Baltic League is an economic and political organization. Its headquarters are in Tallin, in the Kadriorg Palace.

The Baltic League has a number of Northern and Eastern European countries, which share markets, armies, nuclear programmes and technological research. The government of the countries was very conservative and barely democratic until the Millenium Revolutions, which started in Konigsberg and later expanded to the other League countries.

A traditional enemy of the European Friendship Commonwealth, the relations between the League and Western Europe have been getting better since the Millenium Revolutions, although they are still more culturally and economically connected with the United States.

Formation
In August 2, 1951, the Commonwealth experimented their first atomic bomb in the British Antarctic Territory, alarming the United States. It was the signed that Western Europe had recovered from the war, thanks to the UK government's NEW EUROPE operation, while the American-occupied Eastern Europe and US-allie Scandinavia were still in bad shape after World War II and the Allies' War. While Western Europe was getting as powerful as the US, Eastern Europe was still rebuilding from the wars.

To prevent "socialist" Western Europe's influence from reaching the American allies, the Baltic League was created in September 23, 1951, with the Varsaw Treaty. According to the Treaty, the League's objectives are to "promote growing and union in Europe and prevent the Baltic region to fell into foreign rule again". Yet, the American Army mantained bases in all the countries.

Members
The members of the Baltic League are:


 * Commonwealth of Poland
 * Republic of Prussia
 * Estonia and Latvia Union
 * Federation of Escandinavia

Conflicts with the Baltic League involvement
The Baltic League sold arms to the Turkish Government during the Turkish Civil War since 1952, along with the US government.

But it was in the Yemen War, from October 9, 1953, that Baltic troops entered the war in the side of North Yemen. The capital city, Sana, was captured by the Europeans in early 1954, but the Baltic troops continued fighting until 16 March, 1955, in the Nicosia Armistice. After the war, many soldiers settled in Yemen, forming communities there which spoke a Polish-Arabic hybrid language.

In the Millenium Revolutions, the Army fought the revolutionaries until the Stockholm Coup, when a stronger, democratic government took power of Escandinavia, and the Army, seeing the new government as a chance to reunite the people, started supporting the new Millenium Government
